Abstract
A simulated cigarette having the appearance of an actual cigarette, comprising a body defining a housing having an axial chamber, one end of the body formed of a light-transmitting material simulating a cigarette ash and having an electric lamp mounted therein, a battery contained in the axial chamber electrically connected to the lamp, apertures radially arranged in the housing to permit air to be drawn into the axial chamber, an air-permeable filter in the axial chamber, an air passage-way connecting one end of the chamber to the atmosphere for enabling air to be drawn out of the axial chamber, and rotary switch means connected in the circuit to the lamp for turning the lamp on and off by rotating one end of the simulated cigarette with respect to the other end.
Claims6
A simulated cigarette comprising a body having an axial chamber therein, an aperture at one end of said body for permitting air to be drawn out from said axial chamber, a filter positioned in said axial chamber adjacent said aperture, a plurality of apertures provided in the wall of said body for permitting air to pass into said chamber, an electrical battery mounted in said axial chamber, a receptacle formed of a light-transmitting material simulating a cigarette ash mounted at the other end of said body having a lamp mounted therein, and rotary switch means and associated circuitry electrically connecting said battery to said lamp, the ends of said body being rotatably mounted with respect to each other and so arranged that rotation of one end of said simulated cigarette with respect to said other end actuates said rotary switch and causes said lamp to be turned on or off, thereby permitting simulated smoking to take place when said lamp is turned on.
