Lighter holder with retractable pipe poker

Abstract

An apparatus for attaching a retractable poker to a cigarette lighter holder for unclogging tobacco pipes. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises an inner geometric profile conforming to an outer shape of a cigarette lighter, a hollow chamber within the cigarette lighter holder for holding a retractable rod, and said retractable rod is longitudinally movable to extend along a vertical profile of the cigarette lighter holder to allow the rod to be physically extruded from the cigarette lighter holder.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cigarette lighter holder with a retractable poker that enables the user to unclog a tobacco pipe. The invention allows users of tobacco pipes to always have a poker in hand because it will always be attached to the cigarette lighter holder, that will be attached to the lighter.[0003]2.

Benefits of technology

[0008]To minimize the limitation in the prior art, the present invention discloses an apparatus for having a retractable poker fixed to a lighter. In almost every case, a smoker who has ever come across a clogged pipe was holding a lighter in their hands since a pipe is useless without fire. By attaching a poker to the lighter, the smoker can easily unclog their pipe. An apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises an inner geometric profile conforming to an outer shape of a cigarette lighter, a hollow chamber within the cigarette lighter holder for holding a retractable rod, and the retractable rod is longitudinally movable to extend along a vertical profile of the cigarette lighter holder to allow the rod to be physically extruded from the cigarette lighter holder.

[0010]It is another object of the present invention to incorporate the “poker's” inherent shape into that of a smoking apparatus such as a lighter to allow ease of transportability.

[0011]It is still another object of the present invention to make the item reusable since the cigarette lighter holder can be easily interchanged between lighters.
