Abstract

The invention includes a device for smoking smokeable material. The device has a housing with a burning section and an inhalation section, a pusher in the housing for pushing the smokeable material through the burning section. The device also has a threaded rotatable shaft for driving smokeable material towards the first end of the housing as the smokeable material is smoked, and a connector for connecting the mouthpiece to the threaded rotatable shaft, where the connector is rotatable relative to the housing, so that rotation of the connector rotates the threaded rotatable shaft relative to the housing.

Claims

1. A device for smoking smokeable material comprising:

a) a housing having an open first end, a second end, a burning section proximate to the first end, an interior wall, and a longitudinal axis;

b) a receiving region in the burning section for receiving a smokeable material inserted through the open first end of the housing;

c) a pusher in the housing for pushing the smokeable material through the burning section;

d) a threaded rotatable shaft for driving the pusher, wherein the shaft extends beyond the pusher and into the burning section where the shaft contains at least one opening in the burning section;

e) a mouthpiece at the second end of the housing; and

f) a connector for connecting the mouthpiece to the threaded rotatable shaft, wherein the connector is rotatable relative to the housing, so that rotation of the connector rotates the threaded rotatable shaft relative to the housing and the mouthpiece.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the housing is sufficiently transparent or translucent that smokeable material in the burning section is visible.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the smokeable material is in the burning section.

4. The device of claim 1 further comprising a door sized and shaped for closing the first end of the housing, the door having an open position and a closed position.

5. The device of claim 1 further comprising a filter in the mouthpiece.

6. A device for smoking smokeable material comprising:

a) a housing having a first end, a second end, a burning section proximate to the first end, an inhalation section proximate to the second end, an interior wall, and a longitudinal axis, wherein the first end is open, and wherein the burning section is sized and shaped for receiving smokeable material inserted through the first end of the housing;

b) a mouthpiece at the second end of the housing;

c) a pusher in the housing for pushing the smokeable material through the burning section;

d) a threaded rotatable shaft for driving the pusher, wherein the shaft extends beyond the pusher and into the burning section where the shaft contains at least one opening in the burning section; and

e) a connector for connecting the mouthpiece to the threaded rotatable shaft, wherein the connector is rotatable relative to the housing, so that rotation of the connector rotates the threaded rotatable shaft relative to the housing and the mouthpiece.

7. The device of claim 6 further comprising a filter in the mouthpiece.

8. The device of claim 7 wherein the filter is replaceable.
