Abstract

Cigarette inhaler used for inhaling volatile substances and as a substitute for tobacco products comprises a cylindrical body (3) with an axial bore (4) containing a material (5) storing substances for inhalation. The cylindrical body is inserted into a cigarette sleeve (1) provided with a filter (2) at one end. Preferred Features: The cylindrical body is made of hardwood. The material storing substances for inhalation is an essential oil.

Description

The The invention relates to an inhaler in the form of a cigarette for inhalation of fumes more volatile Substances. The inhaler is a real alternative to the cigarette and serves among other things the nicotine withdrawal.

[State of the art]

From the description of the invention EP 0 324 361 A1 a cigarette-shaped inhaler is known which serves to inhale vapors of volatile substances. It consists essentially of a tubular container which is closed on both sides with gas-permeable plug. Inside the container packing are arranged, which contain volatile, inhalable substances.

Of the Disadvantage of this inhaler is that he does not like a Cigarette can be handled. This concerns in particular one for the Smoker important ritual, namely sliding through the fingers, lighting the cigarette and that pull it. Furthermore Costly manufacturing is required to get the exact look a cigarette in shape, size and weight to reach. Or if, as indicated in the description, a commercial cigarette tube would be used this immediately from the inhalation oil imbued become. Also the storage of inhalable substances in microcapsules can not solve this problem or inhalation is not possible.

Also, the inhaler according to the patent, DE 43 38 884 C1 , does not solve this problem. The invention is intended to represent a simple and safe alternative to the inhalation of flavorings, flavorings, fragrances, essential oils, medicines, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and much more. The inhaler consists of a tube, in which two inner tubes are installed. A removable plug prevents leakage of inhalants. The inhalants located in an evaporation chamber are, after removal of the plug, inhaled through a suction port. The intrusion of the inner tubes into the evaporation chamber prevents the escape of a liquid or flowable inhalation substance when the inhalation device is pivoted. An additional protection against inhalation of substances from the evaporation chamber is a filter. A front holder can be used as a cigarette holder, which is to facilitate smoking cessation.

These Inhalation device is by their closure system and the arrangement the inner tube complicated structure. By the alien for a smoker Handling is her for a nicotine withdrawal completely unsuitable, especially because of the additional connection of a cigarette Nicotine should be inhaled.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

task The invention is a cigarette inhaler, in particular for smoking cessation easy to manufacture, in shape, size and weight similar to a cigarette and allows the smoker a familiar ritual.

The Task is solved with the features of the first protection claim. advantageous Further developments and embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Of the Cigarette inhaler for inhaling volatile substances as well as The substitute for a smoking article consists of one, in a cigarette tube with one Filter passable introduced cylindrical body, the one continuous has axial bore, in which a, an inhalation agent storing Material is arranged. The inhalant may be an essential oil such as As mint, eucalyptus, menthol or the like.

There a smoker used is to light a cigarette or to handle the lighter, this is also due to the Invention consideration, without the inhalation cigarette really can burn.

Of the cylindrical body is therefore made of a non- or flame-retardant material produced. For Hardwood has proved to be a suitable material for prototypes.

In order to the inhalant can not diffuse into the hardwood, is between the material storing material and the inner wall the hole arranged an active substance impermeable layer. These can be made from an oil-impermeable coating or from a separate tube exist in which the material storing the active substance before introduction into the hole is inserted.

In an execution it can be useful be the diameter of the hole in the cylindrical body of one side, to take the tube with the material storing the active substance to be sized larger.

The material storing the active substance is an absorbent substance capable of metering the inhalant into an air stream by pulling on the cigarette inhaler. This material may consist of microfibers, micropores besit zen, a wool thread, cotton wool or a similar material.

At Wherever there is a general ban on smoking, the cigarette Inhaler support the smoker, longer Time to rest, while the smoker ritual can be maintained.

He helps to reduce cigarette consumption by the smoker Cigarette inhaler to take your finger and hold on to this "cigarette". He can even do it set fire and pull on it. The smoker gets a pleasant taste in the mouth and gets a fresh breath.

at smoking cessation (eg with the help of a nicotine patch) facilitates this inhalation Cigarette the smoker's transition to a healthy life. To relieve the stress of a nicotine withdrawal reduce, keep he first his previous smoker motor skills and behavior. By inhalation of the essential oil additionally the Airway cleaned.

is a smoker gets a cold and wants to grab a cigarette (even though she does not like it anymore!), he can his health through the cigarette inhaler only improve.

In order to the inhalant in the cigarette inhaler does not evaporate prematurely, the cigarette inhaler is gas-tight individually and / or in several pieces packed up.

[Examples]

At Hand of drawings becomes the structure and operation of the invention explained in more detail.

It demonstrate:

1 the basic structure of the cigarette inhaler,

2 a convenient embodiment for mounting the cigarette inhaler.

The in 1 illustrated cigarette inhaler consists in its basic structure of a cigarette tube 1 with a filter 2 ,

In the cigarette tube 1 becomes a cylindrical body 3 with a continuous axial bore 4 introduced. Into the hole 4 , which is about 1/3 of the diameter of the wooden tube 3 is, becomes an absorbent material 5 for storing an inhalant inserted.

So the inhalant 5 not in the wood of the wooden tube 3 diffused, is between the inhalant 5 and the inner wall of the bore 4 a barrier layer 6 brought in. The barrier layer 6 can be made of a special coating of the inner wall of the hole 4 or consist of a small sleeve, at least in the area of the inhalant 5 is arranged.

2 shows a convenient design for mounting with all parts of the cigarette inhaler. Into the hole 4 of the cylindrical body 3 , the Z. B. is a hardwood tube, which is impregnated with the inhalant material 5 introduced.

It is expedient that the impregnated with the inhalant material 5 previously in a barrier tube 7 arranged and then together with this in the cylindrical body 3 is introduced.

Subsequently, the cylindrical body 3 with the active ingredient 5 in a commercial cigarette tube 1 with a filter at one end 2 has been introduced and you get the finished cigarette inhaler according to 1 ,

For a better grip of the cylindrical body 3 , this is in the cigarette tube 1 bonded.
