Conical Shaped Device Used in Heating and Inhalation of Organic Leafy Materials

Abstract

A conical or frustum shaped product is provided comprising compressed leafy organic material and a filter or crutch, wherein the leafy organic material and filter or crutch are wrapped together in paper. The product has a cone shape, truncated cone shape, pyramidal shape, truncated pyramid shape, frustum shape, or any other shape that tapers to have at least one narrow end, and is designed for use with a device capable of heating the organic leafy material to be inhaled by a user and to produce an experience that closely resembles smoking in taste and feel.

1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 organic leafy material;   a conical shaped covering wrapped into a tapered cylinder around a filter, the covering configured to maintain the organic leafy material;   a lower compression element configured to receive the conical shaped covering wrapped into the tapered cylinder around the filter and the organic leafy material; and   an upper compression element configured to compress the organic leafy material in the within the covering positioned in the lower compression element using pressure.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper compression element when compressed on the lower compression element compresses the organic leafy material toward the filter. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the upper compression element when compressed on the lower compression element closes a top of the conical shaped covering and causes compression of the organic leafy material toward the filter. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper compression element when compressed on the lower compression element causes a groove to be formed in the organic leafy material. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an axially central element is provided with the conical shaped covering, wherein the upper compression element when compressed on the lower compression element compresses the organic material about the axially central element, and further wherein the compressed organic leafy material is separable from the axially central element, thereby leaving a channel within the organic leafy material. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the groove is irregularly shaped. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the upper element comprises a central lower protrusion and the upper compression element when compressed on the lower compression element causes an end of the conical shaped covering to remain open about the protrusion while causing compression of the organic leafy material toward the filter. 
     
     
         8 . An apparatus comprising:
 organic leafy material;   a filter positioned adjacent the organic leafy material; and   a conically shaped covering configured to maintain the organic leafy material and the filter, wherein the apparatus is configured in a shape fitting within a compression device.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the organic leafy material is compressible toward the filter within the conically shaped covering. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein compression of the organic material closes a top of the conically shaped covering. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the compression causes a groove to be formed in the organic leafy material. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , further comprising an axially central element provided with the conical shaped covering, wherein compression compacts the organic material about the axially central element, and further wherein the compressed organic leafy material is separable from the axially central element, thereby leaving a channel within the organic leafy material. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the groove is irregularly shaped. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein compression causes an end of the conical shaped covering to remain open. 
     
     
         15 . An apparatus comprising:
 a conical shaped covering;   compressed organic leafy material positioned within the conical shaped covering;   wherein the conical shaped covering is configured to fit within a conical shaped opening provided in a smoking or vaping device.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the conical shaped covering is frustum shaped when assembled. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the compressed organic leafy material includes an axial central channel 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the compressed organic leafy material comprises a groove formed therein. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein the groove is irregularly shaped. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 18 , wherein the conical shaped opening comprises a protrusion comparable to the groove such that the organic leafy material fits within the conical shaped opening and holds the organic leafy material with the protrusion fitting with the groove.
