Abstract
An apparatus and method for filling smoking cones includes a hollow cylindrical body having a cone connector nozzle on one end, a push-rod opening at an opposite end, and a filler port on one side thereof. A locking cap is also included and used to releasably retain a cone to the cone connector nozzle, and a push-rod is included and used to push smoking material placed within the hollow cylindrical body via the filler port into the smoking cone.
Claims9
An apparatus for filling smoking cones comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical body including:
- a cone connector nozzle including:
- an opening therethrough;
- wherein said cone connector nozzle is located on a distal end of said hollow cylindrical body;
- and is adapted to releasably retain a smoking cone thereon;
- a push-rod opening;
- wherein said push-rod opening is located on a proximal end of said hollow cylindrical body opposite said distal end;
- and
- a filler port;
- wherein said filler port is located on a side portion of said hollow cylindrical body in between said proximal and distal ends;
- and
- wherein said filler port is adapted to receive and retain smoking material therein;
- wherein said hollow cylindrical body defines a length between said distal end and said proximal end;
- a locking cap including:
- a central aperture;
- wherein said central aperture is adapted to allow a smoking cone to pass therethrough;
- wherein said locking cap has a length;
- and
- wherein said locking cap is adapted to be releasably connected to said distal end of said hollow cylindrical body and releasably retain said smoking cone connected to said cone connector nozzle, and
- a push-rod;
- wherein said push-rod is adapted to be movably placed through said push-rod opening of said hollow cylindrical body and push said smoking material placed within said hollow cylindrical body filler port through said opening in said cone connector nozzle and into said smoking cone;
- wherein said hollow cylindrical body is adapted to be placed adjacent a tray having smoking material thereon and filled with a portion of said smoking material via said filler port;
- then one end of a smoking cone is adapted to be releasably attached to said cone connector nozzle;
- then said locking cap is adapted to be placed over said smoking cone via said central aperture and releasably connected to said distal end of said hollow cylindrical body to releasably retain said smoking cone to said cone connector nozzle;
- then said push-rod is adapted and used to push said smoking material through said opening of said cone connector nozzle and into said smoking cone.
