Description

The invention relates to a valve system for a hookah according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Hookahs, also called shisha or hookahs, usually consist of a water container, the so-called bowl, and a closure head, which is fastened on the water container. At the closure head a flue pipe is attached, at the upper end of a tobacco head is arranged, is burned or evaporated together with the glowing coal tobacco. The flue pipe extends through the closure head in the water tank and opens with its lower end below the water level in the water tank. Further, a connection possibility for at least one smoke hose is provided on the closure head, which opens via a corresponding recess in the air space provided in the water tank between the head and the liquid level. When sucking by a user through the smoke hose, a negative pressure is created in the air space provided in the water tank, sucked through the tobacco smoke by the smoke pipe and cleaned, cooled and / or moistened when passing through the liquid.

It is essential that the negative pressure generated by a user during aspiration causes tobacco smoke to flow through the hookah in a desired amount. The desired amount depends on the type of tobacco used and the personal preferences of the users. Consumes the tobacco during use changes in otherwise unchanged conditions, the amount of tobacco smoke.

It is essential that the seal completely seals the water tank, as otherwise secondary air is sucked in and the hookah no longer "pulls" properly.

Known closures are formed, for example, in the manner of a screw or plug-in closure, and have connection openings for several smoke tubes.

In known manner, the connection opening for the smoke tube opens directly or indirectly via a recess in the water tank. In order to prevent, in particular in the case of an arrangement of a plurality of connection openings for a respective smoke hose, that unwanted secondary air is drawn through the unused connection openings, a respective valve arrangement in the manner of a check valve can be provided in the recess or the recesses.

In a known manner, the amount of tobacco smoke is adjusted by varying the Durchzugwiderstandes before the actual use of the hookah. This is done by cross-sectional constrictions on the lower flue pipe or by a mounted at the end of the flue pipe in the water air distributor or by the selected depth of immersion of the flue pipe below the water level in the Bowl. The penetration resistance is not or hardly changeable during use of the hookah. Customization to multiple users is not possible. The smoke is contaminated with dirt particles before flowing through the water. This dirt particles can enforce and block cross-sectional constrictions in the flue pipe and the air distributor.

Based on this prior art, it is the object of the present invention to provide a valve system for a hookah, which is easily varied in the passage resistance during use of the hookah. The setting of the pull-through resistance can be made individually by several users. The valve system is insensitive to contamination.

The invention relates to one or more adjustable valve device in the form of throttle bodies which are operated by the user, without the need to operate or manipulate other parts of the hookah.

This object is achieved by a valve system according to the teaching of claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The valve system for a hookah according to the present invention has at least one externally accessible adjustable throttle point for varying the passage resistance.

The throttle point with the associated control element is located outside the glassbowl preferably arranged according to the valve arrangement of the check valve. The adjustable throttle point can be integrated, for example, in the valve recess, the smoke tube adapter, the mouthpiece, the upper flue pipe or the tobacco head adapter.

The throttle point is preferably designed as a rotary valve, as a ball valve, as a piston valve, as a cone valve, as a blocking flap or as an iris diaphragm. The throttle point is preferably adjusted manually. Also an electric or pneumatic adjustment is possible.

Although it is quite sufficient for the essence of the invention to provide a throttle point, it is still advantageous to provide each smoke connection with an individually adjustable throttle point.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments showing drawings.
