Abstract

The present invention is directed to a smoking pipe having an elastic body that defines an air passage. Preferably the elastic body is formed of a heat resistant silicone. The elastic body included a bowl receiving portion and a stem which define an air passage. The bowl receiving portion also including a groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage and an elastic lip formed adjacent to the groove. The bowl may be removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion with the flange seated in the groove and the elastic lip holding the flange compressively within the groove. The bowl may be formed of stainless steel, brass, titanium, glass or ceramic.

Claims

1. A smoking pipe comprising.

an elastic body defining an air passage, the elastic body including a bowl receiving portion located proximate to a first end of the air passage;

and

a bowl removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the bowl including one or more airflow apertures; and

a second end of the air passage defining a mouthpiece.

2. The smoking pipe of claim 1 wherein the elastic body further comprises a body formed of a heat resistant silicone.

3. The smoking pipe of claim 1 wherein the elastic body further comprises a stem fluidly communicating with the bowl receiving portion.

4. The smoking pipe of claim 1 wherein the bowl further comprises a bowl formed of a material selected from the group of materials including stainless steel, brass, titanium, glass and ceramic.

5. The smoking pipe of claim 1 wherein the elastic body further comprises a stem fluidly communicating with the bowl receiving portion, the stem configured so that air flow through the air passage may be restricted by applying a pinching force against substantially opposing sides of the stem creating a restricted air passage.

6. The smoking pipe of claim 1 further comprising:

the bowl including a flange formed about a circumference of an uppermost edge of the bowl;

the bowl receiving portion including a groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, the bowl receiving portion also including an elastic lip formed adjacent to the groove; and

the flange configured to seat within the groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, and the elastic lip adapted to hold the flange compressively within the groove.

7. The smoking pipe of claim 1 further comprising an airflow regulation aperture formed in the elastic body.

8. The smoking pipe of claim 1 further comprising a removable cap configured to fit snugly over the bowl receiving portion upper edge.

9. The smoking pipe of claim 1 further comprising:

a smoke conduit removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the smoke conduit positioned below the bowl; and

the bowl further configured to be placed at least partially within the smoke conduit.

10. The smoking pipe of claim 1 further comprising:

a smoke conduit removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the smoke conduit positioned below the bowl, the smoke conduit formed as a conical segment, the smoke conduit further comprising a bubbler tube connected to and extending from conical segment, the bubbler tube including one or more bubble apertures formed at a distal end of the bubbler tube; and

the bowl further configured to be placed at least partially within the smoke conduit.

11. A smoking pipe comprising.

an elastic body formed of a heat resistant silicone, the elastic body including a bowl receiving portion located proximate to a first end of the air passage, the elastic body also including a stem fluidly communicating with the bowl receiving portion defining an air passage;

and

a bowl removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the bowl including one or more airflow apertures.

12. The smoking pipe of claim 11 wherein the bowl further comprises a bowl formed of a material selected from the group of materials including stainless steel, brass, titanium, glass and ceramic.

13. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising:

the bowl including a flange formed about a circumference of an uppermost edge of the bowl; and

the bowl receiving portion including a groove formed proximate to the first end of the air passage, the flange of the bowl configured to seat within the groove.

14. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising:

the bowl including a flange formed about a circumference of an uppermost edge of the bowl;

the bowl receiving portion including a groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, the bowl receiving portion also including an elastic lip formed adjacent to the groove; and

the flange configured to seat within the groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, and the elastic lip adapted to hold the flange compressively within the groove.

15. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising an airflow regulation aperture formed in the elastic body.

16. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising:

a smoke conduit removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the smoke conduit positioned below the bowl; and

the bowl further configured to be placed at least partially within the smoke conduit.

17. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising:

the smoking pipe configures as a water pipe;

a smoke conduit removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the smoke conduit positioned below the bowl, the smoke conduit formed as a conical segment, the smoke conduit further comprising a bubbler tube connected to and extending from conical segment, the bubbler tube including one or more bubble apertures formed at a distal end of the bubbler tube; and

the bowl further configured to be placed at least partially within the smoke conduit.

18. The smoking pipe of claim 11 further comprising further comprising a removable cap configured to fit snugly over the bowl receiving portion upper edge.

19. A smoking pipe comprising.

an elastic body defining an air passage, the elastic body formed of a heat resistant silicone, the elastic body including a bowl receiving portion located proximate to a first end of the air passage and a stem fluidly communicating with the bowl receiving portion, the bowl receiving portion also including a groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, the bowl receiving portion also including an elastic lip formed adjacent to the groove;

and

a bowl removably positioned within the bowl receiving portion, the bowl formed of a material selected from the group of materials including stainless steel, brass, titanium, glass and ceramic, the bowl including one or more airflow apertures, the bowl including a flange formed about a circumference of an uppermost edge of the bowl, the flange configured to seat within the groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, and the elastic lip adapted to hold the flange compressively within the groove.

20. The smoking pipe of claim 19 wherein the elastic body further comprises a stem fluidly communicating with the bowl receiving portion, the stem configured so that air flow through the air passage may be restricted by applying a pinching force against substantially opposing sides of the stem creating a restricted air passage, the flange configured to seat within the groove formed at the proximate to the first end of the air passage, and the elastic lip adapted to hold the flange compressively within the groove.
