A device for cleaning glass smoking accessories, such as down stems, slides, and glass concentrate accessories, the device comprising:
- a tubular structure having an interior cylindrical space and being dimensioned to hold glass smoking accessories, such as down stems, slides, and glass concentrate accessories therein, the dimensioned tubular structure being an elongated structure;
- the tubular structure being made from a pliable material that is inert to the smoking residue;
- the tubular structure comprising a wall, the wall having a rounded bottom end defining a lower boundary of the device that comprises a bottom wall that closes the tube at the bottom end, and the wall having a top edge defining an upper boundary of the device, the wall forming at the end opposite the rounded end, an opening defined by the wall top edge;
- wherein the wall comprises an interior surface comprising a vertical interior surface and a rounded interior surface, the vertical interior surface joining the rounded interior surface;
- and
- wherein the wall is a continuous wall;
- wherein said tubular structure has a wall defining an interior space therein, and wherein said wall is foldable to releasably seal off the interior space of the tube, against the passage of liquids out from the tube interior space;
- wherein said tube wall comprises an elongated portion and a rounded end forming a bottom, wherein said tube wall terminates at the top of said tube to form an opening, said opening being located opposite said rounded end forming the tube bottom, and wherein the tube wall defining said interior space does not include any edges;
- including a clip applied to said tube open end to releasably seal the opening, and wherein said wall comprises a self-sealing wall that is foldable to create a folded portion comprising a thickness of four times the thickness of the tube wall, and wherein said clip is configured to releasably attach to the exterior of the folded wall and to releasably secure the folded over tube portion in the folded condition, wherein said folded portion comprises an imaginary fold line at the axis of the fold, wherein said clip includes a pair of clamping jaws that are releasably openable to clamp the folded over tube portion at the imaginary fold line into a clamped position, and wherein the clamping jaws are biased with a spring element to maintain engagement by the clamping jaws to clamp the folded over tube in the folded condition, the clamping jaws engaging the fold of the folded over tube wall at the imaginary fold line, and wherein when the clip is positioned on the tube, the clip when in the clamped position, surrounds the outer perimeter of the fold.
