Abstract

The Bong Stem Filter is a filtration insert intended for the reduction of Cannabis residue, Tobacco residue and other substance residues in a Bong smoking apparatus. Comprising of a Bong Stem Sleeve Filter to act as a porous device removing the impurities or solid particles from a liquid or gas passing through it. Containing the Bong Stem Sleeve Filter is a Bong Stem Filter Sleeve which acts as a holder for said Filter and a container for the residue which builds up during use. The Bong Stem Filter Sleeve has a light Sugar based Glue coating to ensure an adhesive effect upon contact with particles which otherwise manage to pass through the Bong Stem Sleeve Filter. The Bong Stem Filter Sleeve and the Bong Stem Sleeve Filter both require the same shape for proper insertion of said Filter.

Description

Bong Stem

Filter

The Bong Stem Filter (Refer to Drawings 1 C and 1 D) (BSF) is an addition to

sustainable

innovative

technology.

Cannabis use is an ever increasing market in today’s

society, with this in mind the use of a multitude of smoking apparatuses have been acquainted to the; everyday, once in a while and first time

cannabis

user. From this derives the BSF, a way for the

Cannabis user to maintain hygiene levels of their

Bong (Refer to Drawing 1 E), Bong water and Bong

stem (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B). The BSF does so in a manner that allows for

low-environmental

impact with the use of Hemp paper

for biodegradability and sustainability as well as a no

Carbon Manufacturing process. A Bong (Refer to

Drawing 1 E) in short is one of the

aforementioned

apparatuses which Cannabis users smoke from.

A

Bong functions as a filtration device (Refer to Drawing

1 E), simple or advanced blown glass in

numerous

shapes, single or multi-chambered to hold smoke which is drawn from a heat source being placed on

the Bowl (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label A) containing

substance such as Tobacco or Cannabis. The smoke

then pulls through the Bong Stem (Refer to

Drawing

1 E, label B) into a chamber or multiple (Refer to

Drawing 1 E, label C), up the neck of the Bong (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label D) and to the respiratory system of the user. Bongs all share the commonality of the Bong Stem (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label

B).

There is an extent of difficulty in cleaning a

Bong (Refer to Drawing 1 E) once it has been

covered in Cannabis, Tobacco or other substance

residues. Products have entered the market over the last decade which are limited to cleaning the bong after this residue has developed in the Bong

itself. These products can be costly with little effectiveness. Our product aims to largely take

part in the reduction of residues before they have the chance to build up allowing the consumer to rinse their product out with hot water. This allows for the reduction of chemical disposal in the home

and a low-cost option for consumers to filter the

aforementioned residues out of their Bongs (Refer to Drawing 1 E), Bong Stems (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B) and Bong water. Drawing 1A depicts the Bong Stem Filter

Sleeve

(unformed) which is used to hold the Bong Stem

Sleeve Filter depicted in Drawing 1 B

(unformed).

Drawing 1 C illustrates the Bong Stem Filter as a fully formed product. Drawing 1 D depicts the top

view of the Bong Stem Filter (Formed). Drawing

1 E is a rough illustration of a complete

Bong

containing water.

The Bong Stem Filter (Refer to Drawings

1 C and 1 D) is a filtration insert for a Bong

Stem

(Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B) which is placed in a bong, used to reduce the residues left

by

Cannabis, Tobacco and other substances. The

Bong Stem Filter is made up of Hemp Paper.

The

Hemp Paper was found to be the right choice

amongst papers due to the sustainability, biodegradability and effectiveness of the material.

Though any other paper may have been used,

effectiveness of residue reduction was found to be minimal in a comparative test amongst

Post

Consumer Papers, Inkjet Paper, Kraft

Paper,

Cotton Paper, Hemp Paper as well as Plastics.

Glass was a possibility but a low cost

efficiency

method. Both the Bong Stem Filter Sleeve (Refer to Drawing 1A) and the Bong Stem Sleeve Filter

(Refer to Drawing 1 B) are composed of

Hemp

Paper. Using a hand made manufacturing plan we have established a No Carbon

Manufacturing

process for these filters to further exemplify it as a green technology innovation. The Bong Stem

Sleeve Filter (Refer to Drawing 1A) has the bottom

(Refer to Drawing 1A, label C) lightly coated in a

sugar-based glue then proceeds to have the

corner (Refer to Drawing 1A, label A) folded over the opposite corner (Refer to Drawing 1 A, label B).

It is then inserted in a rotational motion into a

Bong Stem (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B) mould.

The same sugar-based glue placed on the bottom

is then wiped in a thin coating on the inside of the

Bong Stem Filter Sleeve (Formed, Refer to

drawing 1 C). It is then left to dry for a short period

of time until roughly 80% dry. Once at this point

the Bong Stem Sleeve Filter (Refer to Drawing 1 B)

is formed by taking the lower right corner (Refer to Drawing 1 B, label A) with the top left corner (Refer to Drawing 1 B, label B) in your other

hand

performing a 360 degree twist and folding into two while twisted, folding once more to

immediately

insert into a Bong Stem Sleeve that has

been

formed (Refer to Drawing 1 C). Once placed in the

Bong Stem Filter it is pushed downwards 2

1/4

inches with shaped wood. The complete

Bong

Stem Filter (Refer to Drawings 1 C and 1 D) is then left to dry in the mould, once dry the Bong Stem

Filter is removed from the mould and

packaged

immediately to be stored and/or

sold.

The Bong Stem Filter (Refer to Drawing 1 C) is intended to be inserted into a Bong Stem for filtration purposes, (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B) it should be tight with the tip (Refer to Drawing 1 C, label A) sitting

out of the Bong Stem (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B).

The user should always keep the tip of the Filter

(Refer to Drawing 1 C, label A) facing away from themselves when the Bong Stem Filter is inserted for

easy removal of the Filter Once the Bong Stem Filter

is in place the user can proceed to use their apparatus as they normally would. The Bowl (Refer to

Drawing 1 E, label A) is placed in the tip of the Bong

Stem Filter (Refer to Drawing 1 C) and the top of the

Bong Stem (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B). One Bowl

(Refer to Drawing 1 E, label A) full of Cannabis,

Tobacco or any other substance is referred to socially as a toke. For the Optimum use of the Bong

Stem

Filter the consumer should only use the product for a total of fifteen tokes which holds an equivalency with the term session for these purposes. The Bong Stem

Filter (Refer to Drawing 1 C) should be removed with

the Bowl (Refer to Drawing 1 E, label A) still inserted

to maintain the best Filter formation. Bong water levels should be based on the consumers Bong Stem

(Refer to Drawing 1 E, label B) and Base (Refer to

Drawing 1 E, label

E).
