Abstract
A smoking storage device has an elongate housing with a top end and a bottom end, the top end having openings into a lighter receiving chamber, a pipe receiving chamber, and a smoking product receiving chamber, and wherein the bottom end is closed. The lighter receiving chamber is sized and shaped to receive a lighter, the pipe receiving chamber is adapted to receive and store an elongate smoking pipe, and the smoking product receiving chamber is adapted to receive and store a smoking product. An overcap is pivotally mounted adjacent the top end of the elongate rigid housing pivots between a closed position and an open position.
Claims11
A smoking storage device for storing a lighter and a smoking product, the smoking storage device comprising:
- an elongate housing having a top end and a bottom end, the top end having openings into a lighter receiving chamber, a pipe receiving chamber, and a smoking product receiving chamber, and wherein the bottom end is closed;
- wherein the lighter receiving chamber is sized and shaped to receive the lighter;
- wherein the pipe receiving chamber that contains an elongate smoking pipe;
- wherein the smoking product receiving chamber is adapted to receive and store the smoking product;
- and
- an overcap pivotally mounted adjacent the top end of the elongate rigid housing, wherein the overcap pivots between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the closed position the overcap covers the opening of the pipe receiving chamber and the smoking product receiving chamber to hold the elongate smoking pipe and the smoking product within their respective chambers, and wherein in the open position the overcap does not cover the openings and allows access to the elongate smoking pipe and the smoking product;
- wherein the overcap is mounted on an overcap mounting rod that slidably engages a mounting rod chamber of the elongate housing;
- further comprising a cap spring in the mounting rod chamber that biases the overcap mounting rod upwardly so that the overcap is biased towards the open position;
- and
- wherein the overcap mounting rod includes a locking feature that locks the overcap in the closed position;
- wherein the locking feature of the overcap mounting rod includes a lateral protrusion that protrudes out of a slot formed in the main housing;
- wherein the lateral protrusion is formed on a resilient arm that is formed to extend from the mounting rod, so that the lateral protrusion can be pressed inwardly to an unlocked position, and it will resiliently return to a locked position.
