Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring in detail to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of the device 10 which includes an upper tray 20, having a beveled or angled region 23, and a channel 26 disposed in a center region of tray 20. There is also a lower tray 30 which has a beveled region 34 and a center indent 134 for receiving water or other materials which can be dispensed from a bowl 50. Bowl 50 can be selectively inserted into channel 26 wherein stem 54 inserts into a lower substantially cylindrical region 29, while the bowl section 52 rests in a frusto-conical section 28 wherein this conical section or channel can be of various shapes and sizes. Once this bowl 50 is disposed in channel 26 it can rest there and then be filled with any desired condiments. Tray 20 is connected to tray 30 via legs 42, 44, and 46.

[0020]FIG. 2 discloses a perspective view of the device 10. Device 10 includes an upper tray, a lower tray 30 and a plurality of legs 40 which connects lower tray 30 to upper tra...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a device for aiding users in packing and clearing a smoking container or bowl. The device comprises a first upper tray comprising an edge region forming a rim and a base region forming a planar surface having a first side and a second side. There is a support element which can be formed as a one-piece support element or formed as a plurality of legs coupled to the first upper tray, and a second lower tray coupled to the support element. This second lower tray is formed as an ashtray and is spaced opposite the second side of the planar surface of the first upper tray. The first upper tray has a channel which extends through the planar surface on the first upper tray. This channel comprises a frusto-conical opening, extending away from the first side on the planar surface and an extending region extending from the second side on the planar surface. This frusto-conical opening is for receiving the smoking container (bowl), and the extending channel section is for holding the smoking container in place.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a device for aiding users in packing and clearing a smoking container. The smoking container (hereinafter referred to as a “bowl”) can be in the form of a bowl with stem which is the type used with a water pipe.[0002]If users do not have a device for packing and clearing a bowl, then it can be relatively cumbersome to handle and pack the bowl with the tobacco or smoking condiments, and attempts to clear and pack the bowl can result in a user making a mess of the surrounding area.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Accordingly, the invention relates to a device for aiding users in packing and clearing a bowl. The device includes a tray comprised of at least one hole in the tray for receiving the bowl, and a support element coupled to the tray for supporting the tray above a surface. Because this tray is supported above a surface, a user can insert a section of the bowl into the hole in the tray and have this bowl supported by the tr...
