Abstract
This invention generally relates to a smoking device that users a laser diode to light a smokable material that is stored within the smoking device. The smoking device is preferably a portable device that allows for insertion of a smokable material, and which ignites the smokable material using a battery-powered laser diode. The smoking device includes a coupling interface that requires all housing components to be secured prior to activation of the laser diode, thereby preventing the surrounding environment from exposure to laser beams and laser radiation.
Claims21
A portable smoking device, comprising:
- a base;
- a laser diode located within the base;
- a power source coupled to the laser diode;
- and
- a chamber configured to hold a smokable material.
4 The portable smoking device of claim 2, further comprising an airflow tube within the mouthpiece, the airflow tube having a spiral or zig-zag shape.
An ignition device for smokable material, comprising:
- a base containing a laser diode and a power supply;
- a connection means configured to connect to a mouthpiece;
- a chamber coupled to the base, the chamber configured to hold a smokable material;
- and
- an ignition switch,
- wherein the laser diode is configured to emit a laser beam towards the chamber upon activation of the ignition switch.
A modular smoking device, comprising:
- a base;
- a mouthpiece;
- a chamber configured to be positioned between the base and the mouthpiece, the chamber further configured to hold a smokable material;
- and
- an ignition source located adjacent to the chamber.
