Solution Overview

Problem

Existing rolling paper devices do not effectively enhance the smoking experience by maximizing the mixing of resin with smoking material, as they typically involve igniting the wide end and inhaling through the narrow end, which limits the integration of combustion resin with the material.

Innovation Solution

A conical rolling paper device with a narrow end for ignition and a wide end for inhalation, incorporating a filter with an air aperture and a heat-resistant material, allowing for reversed airflow to enhance combustion resin mixing with the smoking material.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the wide end is ignited and the narrow end is inhaled through, then the cigarette can be smoked, but the mixing of combustion resin with smoking material is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesmoking operationVSAvoidmixing of resin with smoking material
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent inverts the traditional cigarette structure by making the narrow end the ignition point and the wide end the inhalation point. This reversal allows combustion to occur at the narrow end where the burning element is positioned, and enables the user to inhale through the wide end where more smoking material and resin can be effectively mixed and drawn, thereby improving the quantity of resin mixing with smoking material

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Ease of operation

If a filter is added to the wide end, then the air aperture allows better inhalation, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinhalationVSAvoidstructure with filter
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter component serves multiple functions: it filters the air and resin mixture for better inhalation, provides structural support for the wide end opening, and helps contain the smoking material. By making the filter multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while still improving inhalation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

AI summary

A conical rolling paper assembly for rolling a cigarette includes a rolling paper for rolling into a cigarette for smoking. The rolling paper is pre-formed into a conical shape having a narrow end that has a diameter is less than a wide end. Moreover, the rolling paper is rollable into a cone of a pre-determined diameter for having smoking material placed therein. The wide end of is inhaled through by a user and the narrow end is ignited for smoking. A filter is insertable into the wide end when the smoking material is positioned in the cone defined by the rolling paper. The filter has an air aperture extending therethrough to be inhaled through by the user for smoking the smoking material in the rolling paper.
