Manually activated vaporizing or smoking device
First Claim
1. A device for heating material for use in inhalation, comprising:
- a housing defining two battery compartments and two separate material chambers each adapted to receive material, each of said battery compartments being adapted to receive at least one battery;
a selectively activated heating system that heats material in each of said chambers when the material is in contact with part of said heating system, said heating system comprising two conductive electrodes each having a portion extending into a respective one of said battery compartments and adapted to be electrically coupled to the at least one battery when present in the respective one of said battery compartments;
an activation system that activates said heating system; and
an outlet portion comprising a mouthpiece having an interior in flow communication with each of said chambers, and an adapter configured to fit over said mouthpiece, said outlet portion having a first configuration when said adapter is not over said mouthpiece and a second configuration when said adapter is over said mouthpiece and provides an outer circumference for said outlet portion that is larger than the outer circumference provided when said adapter is not over said mouthpiece,said housing comprising;
an intermediate ring section defining two rings and a bridging portion connecting said two rings together; and
two battery housings each connected to said intermediate ring section and defining a respective one of said battery compartments,whereby a user can place their mouth over said mouthpiece and directly inhale material being heated in said chambers or connect an inlet of an inhaling appliance to said adapter when said adapter is fit over said mouthpiece.

Abstract
Smoking device includes a housing defining two chambers, and a heating system that heats material in the chambers when in contact with part of the heating system. An activation system activates the heating system. An outlet portion includes a mouthpiece and an adapter configured to fit over the mouthpiece. The outlet portion also includes an upper cap having a first conduit leading from an area above one chamber, a second conduit leading from an area above the other chamber, and a single outflow conduit communicating with both chambers and in flow communication with the mouthpiece. A plunger system presses material in each chamber against the part of the heating system and includes a spring retained at one end on the housing and a board attached at an opposite end of the spring and that is urged by the spring toward the heated part of the heating system.
