Benefits of technology

The invention is a new lid device that can be used with standardized beverage containers. It can function both as a portable disposable waterproof and a sealing device. The smoking device is also designed to avoid the limitations of existing water pipes. The liquid container portion of the water pipe is free, durable, disposable and recyclable.

Problems solved by technology

Of the many water pipe smoking device designs that have been created, all generally suffer from the disadvantages that they consist of fragile glass or plastic members or tubes that are interconnected and tend get clogged as a result of the smoke and burned organic matter which passes there through.
Such water pipes are quite difficult to clean and must often be completely discarded after extensive use, or soaked in harsh cleaning solutions for extended periods of time then meticulously washed to remove the cleaning solutions, such pipes are unsanitary, complicated in their construction, can be extremely fragile, and almost impossible to transport or carry within a pocket, a purse, or other portable means.

embodiment 56

[0050]FIG. 17. Is a perspective view of an embodiment of the depicted lid device 20 coupled to a beverage container embodiment 56. The adaptor 52 is shown fitting over the outside diameter of beverage container and sealing inside the flange 54. In some embodiments the adaptor 52 can fit into the inside diameter of a beverage container 56 and the seal would be on the outside of flange 54. As would be obvious to anyone skilled in the art there are a numerous adaptors possible

Abstract

A lid device that takes advantage of the large number of the standardized beverage containers and when the lid device is coupled to a beverage container functions both as a portable disposable waterpipe and a sealing device. This lid device when in its first position is collapsed and can fit in a pocket, purse or small storage container and can easily be transported without spillage or damage to the device. When the lid device is in the second extended condition and coupled to a standard beverage container forms a complete and functional waterpipe that uses a discarded beverage container as a water chamber to create a fully functional water pipe. This lid device avoids the disadvantages of existing water pipes by having the liquid containing portion of the water pipe be in essence free, rugged, disposable and recyclable.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 6,3187,943 filed May 13, 2021, entitled “LID DEVICE,” the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A drink can (or beverage can) (or beverage container) is a container designed to hold a fixed portion of liquid such as carbonated or uncarbonated soft drinks, alcoholic drinks, fruitjuices, teas, herbal teas, energy drinks, etc. Drink cans are made of aluminum or tin-plated steel.
