Description

The invention relates to a dispenser for a hookah for mounting on a water receiving container of the hookah with a bottom, tubular receptacle for a protruding into the water immersion tube and a top-side tubular receptacle for a smoke column of hookah, said manifold has at least two openings, wherein a first port has a spigot for connecting a hose leading to a mouthpiece of the water whistle, and the second port allows discharge of air blown through the hose and the first port into the water reservoir from the water reservoir.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a hookah with such a manifold.

In water pipes tobacco is heated by a hot medium, especially coal. The escaping vapors are passed through a water bath inside a container, thereby cooled and cleaned and smoked over a connection piece with hose. Such a water pipe usually consists of a substantially vertical column of smoke, on top of which a tobacco head is placed, which receives both the heating medium, ie, glowing coal, as well as the tobacco to be smoked. The smoke column is received at its lower end by a manifold and continues down as a dip tube. This dip tube protrudes into a partially filled with water container. Above the water level of this container, the hose leading to a mouthpiece for the user is connected to a connection piece of the distributor piece.

The manifold is usually detachably attached to the container, e.g. with the help of a thread or a bayonet lock. This distributor piece has in addition to the connecting piece for connecting a hose leading to a mouthpiece usually at least one further connecting piece, which opens into the environment. Frequently, other connecting pieces are provided, which allow the connection of several hoses, so that several users can smoke at the same time.

The connection port connected to the environment serves to flush the water tank and remove cold fumes from the tank. To do this, the user blows air through the mouthpiece into the container, which exits through the connecting piece connected to the environment.

A distributor with the features of the preamble of the protection claim 1 and a corresponding hookah are made for example DE 20 2014 102 447 U1 known.

Out US 55,321 A a water pipe with a smoke column is known in which the smoke column is arranged next to the manifold. The manifold has two channels which provide fluid communication from the smoke column via a dip tube and the water bath to the mouthpiece when a stopcock on the manifold is in a first position. In this position of the stopcock, the functioning of the water pipe is like a normal water pipe, ie the flue gases are passed through the water bath. If, on the other hand, blowing into the mouthpiece in this position of the stopcock, the air can not escape from the container. If the stopcock is turned 90 °, the water bath is completely disconnected and a direct flow from the mouthpiece to the smoke column or vice versa through a recess is possible. In this position, air can be blown through the mouthpiece, but the injected exhaled air does not then enter the water container.

The object of the invention is to improve the function of a hookah.

This object is achieved with a manifold of the type described in the present invention, characterized in that the second opening is formed so that it allows fluid communication between the first opening and the tubular receptacle for the smoke column, wherein in the second opening a check valve is arranged, which prevents fluid flow from the tubular receiver for the smoke column into the container.

In departure from the prior art thus is the second opening, so the exhaust opening, not directly with the environment in connection, but flows into the smoke column, so that during the flushing process by blowing air through the mouthpiece, the injected air with the cold flue gases in the smoke column is guided and thereby enters the tobacco chamber, which on the one hand favors the combustion process, since oxygen is supplied, but on the other hand also causes a cooling effect, so that the tobacco head is not too hot and there is only a small risk of injury when accidentally touching it. The check valve ensures that during normal use of the hookah, i. When smoking, not flue gases can be sucked directly through the second opening from the column of smoke.

The second opening is preferably formed in the upper region of the tubular receptacle for the dip tube. It can be as simple Bore be formed in the tubular receptacle for the smoke column with an additional receptacle for a check valve.

The invention also relates to a hookah with a distributor described above.

The invention is explained in more detail below by way of example with reference to the drawing. This shows in

1 a top view of a distributor according to the invention,

2 a section along line II-II in 1 .

3 a water pipe without a smoke column and tobacco head equipped with a distributor in longitudinal section during smoking and in

4 the water pipe in the same representation as in 3 when blowing in air.

A distributor for a hookah is generally with 1 designated. This distributor 1 serves for placing on a container 2 a water pipe, which is partially filled with water. The water level is with 3 designated. In the illustrated embodiment, the water tank 2 Upper side, a neck-like, tubular rejuvenation 12 with a contact flange 4 on which the distributor piece 1 can be attached detachably.

The distributor piece 1 has a housing 5 with a contact surface 6 for contact with the abutment flange 4 of the container 2 on. In the case 5 Upper side is a tubular receptacle 7 omitted for insertion of a smoke column, not shown, the hookah. This tubular receptacle 7 extends over the entire height of the housing 5 of the distributor piece 2 and sits in a bottom tube-shaped receptacle 8th away from the case 5 protrudes downwards. This lower-side tubular receptacle is used for inserting a dip tube 9 , which in mounted position below the water level 3 in the container 2 empties.

The underside tubular receptacle 8th is of a tubular approach 10 surrounded, being between the outside of the tubular receptacle 8th and the tubular approach 10 an annular space 11 is provided. In this case, the outer diameter of the tubular extension 10 to the inner diameter of the tubular taper 12 the container adapted, preferably, the tubular approach 10 on its outside an unillustrated external thread, with an internal thread on the tubular taper 12 of the container 2 corresponds.

In the case 5 is a first opening 13 recessed, which a fluid flow from the environment into the free space 11 and thus the inside of the water tank 2 allows. In the opening 13 an unillustrated connection piece is used, to which a connection hose can be connected, which is also not shown and leads to a mouthpiece of the hookah.

In the case 5 of the distributor piece 1 is also a second opening 14 provided, which fluid communication between the first opening 13 and the tubular receptacle 7 allows for the smoke column. This second opening 14 is in the embodiment in the upper region of the tubular receptacle 8th for the dip tube 9 formed, ie it is a transverse bore in the tubular receptacle 8th provided, which fluidly connects the tubular receptacle 7 to the annular space 11 and thus to the interior of the water tank 2 and thus to the first opening 13 manufactures.

It is within the second opening 14 a check valve 15 arranged, which is a fluid flow from the tubular receptacle 7 for the smoke column in the container 2 prevents and allows only a fluid flow in the opposite direction. The check valve 15 is preferably formed as a ball, which in a valve receptacle 16 recorded in a known manner.

The operation of this distributor piece 1 in connection with a hookah results from the 3 and 4 ,

In 3 the condition is shown in which the water pipe is used normally, ie tobacco fumes are inhaled. The user sucks on the mouthpiece, not shown, so that a fluid flow in the direction of the arrow 17 results, ie tobacco fumes are from the tobacco head through the smoke column on the tubular recording 7 of the distributor piece 1 , the dip tube 9 and sucked in through the water bath. In this state, the check valve 15 closed, leaving through the second opening 14 not accidentally directly fumes are sucked with.

If now the hookah be flushed, the user blows in the mouthpiece, not shown, with exhalation air connection hose in the first opening 13 , whereby a fluid flow according to arrow 18 gives ( 4 ). Through the into the container 2 incoming air opens the check valve 15 and the air enters the tubular receptacle 7 and thus in the smoke column and enters the area of the tobacco head. Thus, on the one hand the tobacco head is cooled, on the other hand, the tobacco or combustion area oxygen is supplied, which favors the combustion.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Further embodiments are possible without departing from the basic idea. So basically the distributor piece 1 also several first openings 13 so that the hookah can be used by several people at the same time.
