Benefits of technology
The present invention is a finger ring with a barrel that allows for sharing rolled cigarettes without transferring germs or saliva. It is designed to be easy to clean and is compact and stylish for use with unfiltered cigarettes. The tapered barrel serves as both the holder for the cigarette and the mouthpiece for smoking, allowing the wearer to have a hands-free experience while smoking. The design is streamlined and unitary, providing a more convenient and comfortable experience than other similar products.
Problems solved by technology
Rolled cigarettes are shared more commonly than factory-rolled cigarettes, because they are more expensive and sometimes more powerful, and because many smokers are not good at rolling their own.
Smoking can often be an awkward experience, as it occupies the use of one hand for the duration of a cigarette.
This makes it difficult to drive, pour drinks, or use a computer while smoking.
However, they all require the smoker to make direct mouth contact with the cigarette.
Since the cigarette ring has a uniform cross section, however, there is nothing to prevent the cigarette from sliding completely through the cigarette ring.
Again, this would require direct mouth contact; with the upper surface of the cigarette exposed to open air, the smoker would not be able to create suction and draw from the cigarette by puffing on the end of the groove.
The downside is an unsightly and cumbersome design.
The Marcus / Sharples ring also has a lengthy narrow tube that is impossible to properly clean.

Embodiment Construction
[0018]The invention is a finger ring 11 with solid crown 12. In one preferred embodiment, the ring is fabricated of standard jewelry material such as steel, silver, or gold. In another preferred embodiment, it is made of less expensive materials such as acrylic or wood. The ring may also be fabricated of a combination of two or more of these materials, such as a steel finger ring with a gold crown.
[0019]A hollow barrel 13 passes through the crown. The barrel is completely enclosed within the crown.
[0020]The barrel is tapered or cone-shaped, with a wider end 14 and a narrower end 15. In the preferred embodiment, the mean cross-sectional diameter 16 of the barrel 13 is equal to the diameter of an average rolled cigarette, about 5-6 mm. This allows a rolled cigarette to be inserted halfway into the barrel, where it will be held firmly. The rolled cigarette will not extend out of the narrower end 15 of the barrel 13.
[0021]During use, a rolled cigarette is inserted into the wider end 14 ...

A finger ring has a crown and a hollow barrel fully enclosed by the crown. The barrel has a wider end and a narrower end, tapering uniformly from the wider end to the narrower end in the form of a cone. The barrel is appropriately sized to firmly hold a rolled cigarette when the rolled cigarette is inserted into the wider end of the barrel. The cigarette does not extend beyond the narrower end of the barrel. The narrower end of the barrel is used as a mouthpiece for smoking, thus avoiding mouth contact with the cigarette. The barrel may easily be cleaned with liquid soap or a cotton swab.
Description
1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention is in the field of devices used for smoking, particularly for holding and smoking a rolled cigarette.2. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]In this application, the term “rolled cigarette” shall refer to a hand-rolled cigarette paper filled with tobacco, cloves, marijuana, or any other smokable plant material, and without a filter. The trend of rolling cigarettes is on the rise as compared to smoking factory-rolled cigarettes with filters. Marijuana is also becoming more widely accepted as it is recognized for medical benefits. Marijuana has been legalized in many states, in some cases even for recreational use.[0003]Though the use and sale of marijuana are prohibited by federal law, there is no lawfulness requirement for patentability. In fact, we take note of US patents such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,096,868 (Norman), U.S. Pat. No. 8,490,629 (Shenassa et. al.), and U.S. Pat. No. 8,905,038 (Lotringer), which are devices expressly for ...
