Abstract
A smoking device for extracting at least one smoke component from a smokeable substance comprises a bowl defining a space for receiving the smokeable substance, the bowl having a pair of spaced holes therein; and a container defining a chamber for receiving a heat source, the chamber communicating with the space through one of the holes in the bowl whereby the smoke component may be extracted by drawing through the other hole in the bowl. A method for extracting a smoke component from a smokeable substance is also disclosed.
Claims9
A smoking device for extracting at least one smoke component from a smokeable substance, comprising:
- a hollow base defining a reservoir, said base having ingress and egress apertures therein;
- a bowl defining a space for receiving the smokeable substance, said bowl having two spaced holes therein, means establishing intercommunication between the space and the reservoir through the ingress aperture in the base and one of the holes in the bowl;
- and
- heating means including a perforated container defining a chamber for receiving a combustible substance, the chamber communicating with the space through the other hole in the bowl, and disposed adjacent the other of the holes in the bowl for elevating the smokeable substance to a sufficiently high temperature to extract the smoke component through the egress aperture without combusting the smokeable substance.
A method of extracting a smoke component from a smokeable substance without burning said smokeable substance, comprising the steps of subjecting a combustible substance to combustion to form a hot gas, drawing said hot gas through said smokeable substance, refraining from further heating the gas during passage through said smokeable substance, and thereafter passing the hot gas through a liquid, whereby the gas is cooled and at least one smoke component is extracted from said smokeable substance.
