Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to a transportable mouthpiece for use in inhalation of products in gas form, and including a sealable attachment piece.
Claims28
A mouthpiece for the inhalation of a product in the form of a gas, the mouthpiece comprising:
- an inhalation outlet;
- a mouthpiece housing comprising one or more mouthpiece walls at least partly defining a mouthpiece internal flow path through the mouthpiece housing;
- a first opening at a first end of the mouthpiece housing;
- and
- at least one mouthpiece inlet configured to receive a flow of the gas at a second end of the mouthpiece housing;
- wherein the mouthpiece further comprises:
- an internal gas flow structure extending into an interior region of the mouthpiece housing and having:
- a first chamber at least partly defined by at least one first housing that is configured to receive the flow of gas from the at least one mouthpiece inlet, the first chamber having an open end at a portion of the gas flow structure that is distal to the at least one mouthpiece inlet, and the at least one first housing comprising at least one first aperture therein that allows the flow of gas therethrough;
- a second chamber at least partly defined by at least one second housing that is configured to receive the flow of gas via the at least one first aperture from the first chamber and direct the flow of gas towards at least one second aperture formed in the at least one second housing;
- and
- a main chamber at least partly defined by the mouthpiece housing that is configured to receive the flow of gas from the at least one second aperture from the second chamber and direct the gas towards the first opening at the first end of the mouthpiece housing,
- wherein the second chamber and main chamber are adapted to be at least partly filled with water for cooling and/or filtering of the gas as it passes through the second and main chambers, and wherein the at least one second aperture is configured to allow a flow of water between the second chamber and the main chamber, and
- wherein the mouthpiece further comprises:
- a sealable attachment piece configured to at least partly seal a portion of the internal flow path within the mouthpiece housing, the sealable attachment piece comprising:
- an upper sealing portion configured to be inserted into the first opening of the mouthpiece housing, the upper sealing portion configured to be transitioned between an open state in which gas is allowed to flow through the inhalation outlet, and a closed state in which gas is blocked from flowing through the inhalation outlet;
- and
- a lower sealing portion configured to be inserted into the open end of the internal gas flow structure, the lower sealing portion configured to be transitioned between an open state in which gas is allowed to flow through the at least one first aperture connecting the first and second chambers, and a closed state in which gas is blocked from flowing through the at least one first aperture between the first and second chambers, and
- an activating member configured to simultaneously transition the upper and lower sealing portions between the open and closed states upon activation thereof,
- wherein, in a case where the upper sealing portion and lower sealing portion are in their respective closed states, the portion of the mouthpiece internal flow path between the at least one first aperture and the inhalation outlet is sealed to trap any gas and/or water therebetween, and
- wherein, in a case where the upper sealing portion and lower sealing portion are in their respective open states, the portion of the mouthpiece internal flow path between the at least one first aperature and the inhalation outlet is open to allow a flow of gas and/or water therethrough.
