Abstract

The invention provides a device configured to resemble an actual cigarette, tubular in shape and boasts the same measurements of a standard cigarette. The Life Stick is manufactured primarily of recycled plastic, with the distal end of the unit comprised of a canister filled with pure, pressurized oxygen containing gas. Positioned at the end of this canister is an integrated filter mechanism infused with any number of tasty flavors released each time the user takes a drag on the Life Stick .The flavor can be any desired flavor, such as grape, cherry, orange, lemon, lime, other fruit flavor, peppermint, spearmint, other mint, for example. A simple spring loaded release valve is incorporated into the design of the filter which serves to release the oxygen containing gas when the flush mounted push button is depressed by the user, thus delivering the concentrated oxygen containing gas directly into the lungs when inhaling the Life Stick.

Description

    CLAIM OF PRIORITY
  • This patent application claims priority under 35 USC 119 (e) (1) from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/403,571 filed Sep. 17, 2010, of common inventorship herewith entitled, “Life Stick.”
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention pertains to the field of oxygen therapy devices, and cigarette cessation devices, and more specifically to the field of tobacco free cigarette simulated devices which provide energy to the user buy means of delivering oxygen.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The prior art has put forth several designs for tobacco free cigarette simulated devices. Among these are:
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,893,371 to Jed E. Rose and Frederique M. Behm describes a non-nicotine method and apparatus for use to reduce the need to smoke tobacco and which utilizes one or more constituents from black pepper or red pepper which are introduced into the user's respirator tract by inhalation from either a vapor delivery system or an aerosol delivery system.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,041,790 to Mickey Lee Smith et al describes a cigarette substitute article which comprises one or more rod segments made of a gathered web or filamentary tow material in which a flavorant is embedded in liquid or powder form or in a breakable flavorant-containing capsule.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,527,059 to Diane M. Iannuzzi describes a look-alike substitute for a cigarette, from which a smokeless aroma of burning tobacco or other fragrances can be inhaled and smoke-simulating aromatized powder can be emitted out.
  • None of these prior art references describe the present invention. None of these address a device which provides an oxygen delivery device.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a device to deliver an oxygen based energy supplement to be inhaled by a person.
  • It is a further object of the present invention to provide a tobacco free cigarette simulated device.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational angled perspective view of the device of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational angled perspective view of another embodiment of the device of the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention, hereinafter referred as the Life Stick Oxygen Based energy Supplement, or Life Stick, is a specially designed, simulated cigarette containing a pressurized oxygen chamber. The Life Stick provides consumers who want to partake of oxygen therapy, or who are trying to quit smoking, with a comfortably handled replica of a cigarette, thus satisfying the habit of holding a cigarette while providing them a peaceful calm afforded by inhaling the concentrated oxygen. The Life Stick also introduces the general public to the many health benefits associated with oxygen therapy.
  • Administering the many benefits associated with oxygen therapy, as well as delicious flavorings, the Life Stick provides the unique sensation of feeling simultaneously energized, yet peaceful and calm. A convincing replica of a cigarette that disperses a dose of concentrated oxygen, the Life Stick appeases the psychological desire to hold a cigarette in the hand, which is just as hard to overcome as the nicotine addiction itself. As a result, new nonsmokers are able to avoid that negative feeling of being without a trusty cigarette when talking on the phone, driving to work, or after a meal, with the oxygen rich air enabling them to better concentrate on living rather than wishing for a cigarette.
  • The oxygen therapy benefits that the Life Stick provides to everyone who uses it include improved memory, stamina, and concentration, as well as provide relief from fatigue, headaches, migraines, stress, cramps and minor aches and pains. Oxygen also promotes faster healing of injuries. Nonsmokers utilize the Life Stick as a means of enjoying a significant energy boost throughout the day. Delivering concentrated oxygen directly into the system, the Life Stick appeals to anyone who wants to enjoy an extra spring in their step or a sense of calm throughout a hectic day. Consumers also enjoy the flavored filtered taste alone, without releasing oxygen, just by inhaling on the Life Stick. Use of the Life Stick greatly impacts the health and well being of the users, helps reduce medical and insurance costs, and creates new jobs, stimulating the economy. The positive butterfly effect that this product produces has enormous potential.
  • The Life Stick is an innovative product invention that effectively eases the stress that results when one decides to quit smoking and provide health benefits to smokers and nonsmokers alike. Safe to use, this oxygen rich, smoke free product is enjoyed whenever the craving for a cigarette occurs, as well as when one simply wishes to enjoy a revitalizing calm during the day. Affordably priced, the Life Stick is well received by all consumers who have and are trying to give up the habit, as well as nonsmokers who wish to receive the benefits of a burst of fresh oxygen, a sizable market potential.
  • The Life Stick is a smoke free pseudo-cigarette which incorporates the look and feel of a real cigarette but it is not only for those quitting smoking. The Life Stick also provides the many health benefits associated with oxygen therapy in a single use applicator.
  • The Life Stick disperses a concentrated dose of oxygen with every “drag” thus enabling the user to enjoy the many benefits oxygen therapy provides when enjoying a smoke.
  • Configured to resemble an actual cigarette, the Life Stick is tubular in shape and boasts the same measurements of a standard cigarette. The Life Stick is manufactured of any suitable materials, such as aluminum or recycled plastic, for example, with the distal end of the unit comprised of a canister filled with pure, pressurized oxygen. Positioned at the end of this canister is an integrated filter mechanism infused with any number of tasty flavors released each time the user takes a drag on the Life Stick. The flavor can be any desired flavor, such as grape, cherry, orange, lemon, lime, other fruit flavor, peppermint, spearmint, other mint, for example. Non-flavored embodiments are also available. A simple release valve is incorporated into the design of the filter, which serves to release the oxygen containing gas. One such valve, for example, comprises a spring loaded release valve having a flush mounted push button to be depressed by the user, thus delivering the concentrated oxygen directly into the lungs when inhaling the Life Stick. Another valve configuration comprises a valve which when pushed to one side, releases the oxygen containing gas. Any suitable valve can be utilized to release the oxygen containing gas.
  • The filter of the Life Stick is colored to mimic the look of a real cigarette filter, with the remaining portion of the unit colored the customary white of cigarette paper. The filter portion would also be made available in a plethora of flavors or colors to satisfy consumer needs. The Life Stick is offered in packages of ten to twenty units per container. As an additional consideration, the Life Stick is individually wrapped for distribution on airplanes and the like. The Life Stick is also coupled with popular product flavor lines, such as Snapple™, for example.
  • Although this invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, it is not intended to be limited thereto and various modifications which will become apparent to the person of ordinary skill in the art are intended to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as described herein taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the appended claims.
