Configuration of Nicotine Air Suction Pipe According to the Present Invention First, as shown in FIG. 1, the pipe body 1 is composed of an exterior material 3 and a xell portion 4 as to the appearance of the nicotine air suction pipe according to the present invention. The upper part of the slide type cutter 2 attached on the main body 1 is exposed. The slide type cutter 2 slides the exposed upper part along the side part of the exterior material 3 to cut a nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 stored in a tank storage device 9 to be described later, thereby causing the nicotine aqueous solution inside to flow out. The attachment method to the pipe body 1 may be fixed or removable.

In the illustrated embodiment, the exterior material 3 has a columnar shape, and a xel portion 4 is detachably attached to one end of the exterior material 3, but the shape of the exterior material 3 is not limited to this, and the exterior material 3 and the xels The mounting of the part 4 may be an insertion type, a screw type, or any other method. Moreover, although the material of the exterior material 3 and the xel portion 4 is not specified, it is desirable to adopt a hard plastic material in consideration of weight and strength. As shown in the figure, the tip portion of the xels portion 4 is a small-diameter mouthpiece 5 so that the user can easily rub with the lips, and inside thereof, as shown in FIG. A mouth 14 is formed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the internal structure of the pipe body 1 is provided with an interior material 6 inside the exterior material 3, and will be described later in a space surrounded by the ceramic 7 near the tip. A tank storage device 9 is stored, and a portion near the xell portion 4 is filled with a water absorption net 8. An air passage 15 through which nicotine gas passes and an air vent 14 communicate with each other inside the xell portion 4. The water absorption net 8 serves as a preliminary water absorption member so that a nicotine aqueous solution that has not been separated by the water absorption filter 12 described later will not accidentally flow into the user's mouth.

In the illustrated embodiment, a tank housing 9 is inserted into a space surrounded by the ceramic 7 of the interior material 6, and the cutting edge of the slide cutter 2 attached to the pipe body 1 is the nicotine aqueous solution in the tank housing 9. Although it is in a state of biting into the tank 11, in a normal use state, unless the upper part of the slide type cutter 2 is pushed in the direction of the arrow, the cutting edge is in a non-contact state with the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the internal structure of the tank housing 9 is a cylindrical structure having a cap 13 at the tip, and from the direction closer to the cap 13, the water stop filter 10, the nicotine aqueous solution It has a three-layer structure in which the tank 11 and the water absorption filter 12 are accommodated. The tank housing 9 can be detached from the interior material 6 by rotating the lever 16 of the cap 13, but it may be of a plug-in type, and the method of removal is not particularly limited. The surface of the cap 13 is planned to adopt a plastic mesh provided with a plurality of pores so that air can be sucked, but the material and the like are not limited as long as they can be vented.

The nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is filled and sealed with a nicotine aqueous solution. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is represented as one continuous tank. May be made small. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the inside of the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is partitioned into three chambers, but the number of sections is not limited to this. By adopting such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 9, the sliding cutter 2 is repeatedly pushed and slid as shown by an arrow, and the nicotine aqueous solution is made by sequentially cutting 1 to 3 sections. Since it can be made to flow out in a small amount, it can always have a fresh and uniform taste of nicotine compared to the case where all aqueous nicotine solutions are discharged at once. Moreover, various variations can also be enjoyed by filling a nicotine aqueous solution having a different nicotine content for each of a plurality of compartments, or filling a nicotine aqueous solution having a different fragrance and flavor such as menthol.

The used nicotine aqueous solution tank can be easily exchanged for a new nicotine aqueous solution tank by rotating the lever 16 and taking out the tank housing 9 together with the interior material 6. The material of the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is planned to adopt a material that can be easily cut by the slide cutter 2, such as a silicon-based material or a soft plastic material. Further, in the drawing, the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is shown with substantially the same diameter as the inner wall of the tank housing 9, but in reality it is indeterminate and a gap is formed between the inner wall of the tank housing 9, The ventilation | gas_flowing which flowed in from the water stop filter 10 is not prevented. Alternatively, the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 may have a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the tank housing 9 to ensure more reliable air permeability.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the water absorption filter 12 is provided adjacent to the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 and absorbs the nicotine aqueous solution that has flowed out due to water breakage of the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11. The water absorption filter 12 is planned to employ a water absorbent body such as a sponge material, but a polymer material excellent in water absorption and water retention may be employed, and the material is not limited. The water absorption filter 12 can be easily removed from the tank housing 9 and can be replaced with a new water absorption filter.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the water stop filter 10 is also provided adjacent to the nicotine aqueous solution filter 11, and absorbs the nicotine aqueous solution that has flowed out due to water breakage of the nicotine aqueous solution and prevents leakage from the cap 13. It plays a role to do. However, since most of the ruptured nicotine aqueous solution is desirably absorbed by the water absorption filter 12 described above, in order to increase the water absorption rate to the water absorption filter 12, for example, although it has air permeability like a polyurethane material, A non-water-permeable material that does not pass through may be used. Thereby, leakage of the nicotine aqueous solution from the cap 13 can be prevented while ensuring air permeability.

The cross-sectional structure of the pipe body 1 in which the tank housing 9 is inserted into the space surrounded by the ceramic 7 of the interior material 6 and becomes available is as shown in FIGS. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 1, and an interior material 6 provided inside the exterior material 3 and a water stop filter 10 in a tank housing 9 inserted in a space surrounded by the ceramic 7. Appears. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B of FIG. 1. The interior material 6 provided inside the exterior material 3, the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 in the tank housing 9 inserted into the hollow portion 7, The slide cutter 2 that reaches the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 appears. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 1 and shows an interior material 6 provided inside the exterior material 3 and a water absorption net 8 filled inside the interior material 6.

Next, in the nicotine air suction pipe according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, the heating wire 17 is arranged around a part or the whole of the water absorption filter 12, and the storage battery 18 is attached to the exterior material 3 or the interior material 6. By providing the switch 19, the heating wire 17 is energized by the operation of the switch 19, and the water absorption filter 12 can be heated. By setting it as such a structure, since the nicotine aqueous solution absorbed by the water absorption filter 12 is warmed, the vaporization to nicotine vapor | steam can be actively promoted and nicotine vapor | steam which is fresh and stable in flavor can be generated. In addition, in FIG. 10, although the heating wire 17 is the aspect surrounding the lower half about the water absorption filter 12, you may surround the whole. Further, in the illustrated example, the storage battery 18 and the switch are provided in the interior material 6, but may be provided in the exterior material 3, and the storage battery can be replaced by wear. The switch 19 has a slightly protruding upper portion so that the user can operate the switch 19 with the exterior material 3 attached.
Mode of Use of Nicotine Air Suction Pipe According to the Present Invention Next, a mode of smoking using the nicotine air suction pipe according to the present invention will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, the user rotates the lever 16 of the cap 13 at the tip of the pipe body 1 to take out the tank storage device 9 from the interior material 6. The taken-out tank storage 9 is provided with a water stop filter 10 and a water absorption filter 12, and a space for storing the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is provided therebetween.

  Therefore, the user installs the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 having a desired seasoning and nicotine content in the space provided between the water stop filter 10 and the water absorption filter 12. The nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 includes a non-compartment type shown in FIG. 2 and a plurality of compartment types shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 9, and can be selectively used according to the user's preference.

When the attachment of the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 to the tank housing 9 is completed, the tank housing 9 is again inserted into the interior material 6 in the pipe body 1, and the lever 16 is rotated and fixed. The attached nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is arranged in the interior material 6 as shown in FIG. 2 in the case where there is no compartment, and as shown in FIG. 9 in the case where the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is divided into a plurality of compartments.

Thus, when the attachment of the tank housing 9 is completed, the upper part of the slide cutter 2 attached on the pipe body 1 is pushed. Then, the cutting edge of the slide cutter 2 bites into the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 and tears it, and the nicotine aqueous solution inside the tank flows out.

In addition, when the inside of the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is divided into a plurality of sections, as shown in FIG. 9, it is necessary to move the sliding cutter 2 in the direction of the arrow and sequentially cut it into sections 1 to 3. Depending on the situation, the nicotine aqueous solution can be dispensed.

Further, the nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 is indefinite and has a gap between the inner wall of the tank housing 9 and a lot of gaps are generated due to water breakage, so that the ventilation from the water stop filter 10 is not hindered. The nicotine aqueous solution tank 11 may have a smaller diameter than the inner wall of the tank housing 9 to ensure more reliable air permeability.

The nicotine aqueous solution that has flowed out is absorbed by the water absorption filter 12, but the nicotine aqueous solution that cannot be absorbed is absorbed by the water stop filter 10, and leakage from the cap 13 and the vent hole 14 is prevented. Alternatively, by employing a non-water-permeable material having air permeability for the water stop filter 10, the nicotine aqueous solution is reliably absorbed by the water absorption filter 12. Moreover, since the interior material 6 is provided with the water absorption net 8, there is a double possibility that the user will accidentally suck it.

  In this way, when the nicotine aqueous solution is absorbed by the water absorption filter 12 or the water stop filter 10, the user holds the suction port 5 and sucks in air, so that the nicotine gas evaporated from the water absorption filter 12 is vented from the water absorption net 8. 15, the air is sucked from the vent hole 14 into the user's mouth.

  Further, in the type in which the periphery of the water absorption filter 12 is surrounded by the heating wire 17, the switch 19 that slightly protrudes from the exterior material 3 is used by the user when the nicotine aqueous solution is broken by the slide cutter 2 and then sucked. Push the head. Then, energization is started, the heating wire 17 is warmed, and the water absorption filter 12 surrounded by the heating wire 17 is heated, so that the vaporization of the absorbed nicotine aqueous solution is promoted, and a fresher and more stable flavor of nicotine is obtained. It becomes like this. Moreover, since the heating part is surrounded by the ceramic 7 and the heat transfer to the exterior material 3 is blocked, the user is not burned.

  The present invention is a nicotine-suction pipe that eliminates the adverse effects of nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide as well as the odor contained in the sidestream smoke, and is used as a substitute for tobacco.
