Description

The present invention relates to a hookah which has a novel blow-out device.

In a water pipe, tobacco or a tobacco substitute is heated by a hot heating medium, usually coal. From a physical point of view, the water pipe (shisha) does not produce smoke, but steam. In water pipes, the tobacco is not burned, but only made to smolder by the glowing coals. The steam that escapes is passed through a water bath, where it is cooled and cleaned, and smoked through a hose outlet.

A water pipe typically consists of a substantially vertical column of smoke, on the top of which is placed a head which accommodates both the heating medium (hot coals or heating stones) and the water pipe tobacco or tobacco substitute to be smoked. The lower end of the smoke column protrudes into a bowl partially filled with water. The base is located directly above the bowl, the round middle piece of the shisha that connects all parts of the shisha with each other. The smoke pipe is screwed on top of the base. The dip tube is screwed under the base. With most water pipes, the hose adapters are attached to the base.

When smoke and/or steam is drawn in through the hose outlet, a negative pressure is created in the water tank, which is immediately compensated for by air entering the tank through gas inlet openings in the head through the smoke column and the water (fluid communication).

The smoke column is preferably made of brass or steel, the liquid container is made of glass, ceramic or a plastic material, for example acrylic. The tobacco head is preferably made of ceramic, earthenware or silicone. and the hose is made of leather, plastic or rubber. Hookahs are also known by the names Shisha, Hookah and Nargile.

It is known from practice to blow out old smoke that has accumulated in the glass to increase the smoking pleasure, so that you get a fresher taste when you draw the hookah again. It is also known to allow the rising smoke to flow into a so-called blow-out ring at the upper end of the smoke column. For this purpose, the exhaust ring has smoke ducts, which are distributed over the circumference of the exhaust ring and open out at a radial distance further out on the exhaust ring. Exhausted smoke rising through the smoke column can therefore flow radially outward through and out of the exhaust ring, which is desirable for decorative reasons.
Hookahs that allow the smoke to be blown out in the most aesthetically pleasing manner are becoming increasingly popular.

An example of such a water pipe is the "Moze Breeze Two", which is manufactured by Moze GmbH, 49716 Meppen. The functional principle of this water pipe is clearly shown in the video that can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js08Q1VINJY (entire video).

On this water pipe you can attach the blow-off valve individually to the water pipe in three different places on the water pipe. The advantage here is that you can blow out the smoke at the point you want, according to personal preference. The disadvantage of this water pipe from the prior art, however, is that you do not have the option to determine which valve is active at will while smoking on this water pipe, since you have to completely dismantle the water pipe for this, then mount the blow-out valve from A to B and then have to put it back together again.

A blow-out device, by means of which the blow-out valve can be adjusted while smoking, is implemented in the “Steamulation Prime Pro X” water pipe, which is available from Schmidt Innovations GmbH, 97816 Lohr am Main.
The principle of operation of this water pipe is explained in the video that can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaFmAlEG1zg (especially second 26 to 33).

The advantage of this water pipe is that you can manipulate the direction of the smoke flow at the blow-off valve using the turning function without assembling and dismantling the water pipe. The disadvantage is that this system is located on the smoke column of the water pipe and is therefore an unaesthetic foreign body on the classic water pipe. In addition, the water pipe is usually carried on the smoke column. Attaching the blow-out valve to the smoke column therefore affects the feel of the water pipe and practical handling, especially during transport.
However, the limited functioning of the system is particularly disadvantageous. Because you simply open and close valves, this function is only limited to two different blow-out directions, which are also in the same place or on the same blow-out valve.

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a hookah that Offers the possibility of attaching the blow-off valve to different places on the shisha without having to disassemble and reassemble the water pipe each time.

1. a) die Base zweigeteilt ist (2, 3) und sich zwischen den beiden Teilen ein Regulierring (1) befindet,
2. b) sie ein Flansch-Luftkanalsystem (4) aufweist, das durch mindestens zwei Rohre, die mit jeweils einem von mindestens zwei Ausblasventilen (A1, A2 ...), welche sich dauerhaft an der Wasserpfeife befinden, verbunden sind, wobei sich durch Drehen des Regulierrings (1) einstellen lässt, welches Rohr mit welchem Ausblasventil verbunden wird und
3. c) sich oberhalb des Regulierrings drei Flansche (F1, F2, F3) befinden, die miteinander durch kleine Rohre verbunden sind ( ), wobei die Verteilung des Rauches über die Flansche erfolgt, indem der Regulierring (1) an der zweigeteilten Base (2, 3) jeweils das Loch schließt, dass zu dem Flansch gehört, der dann mit dem anzusteuernden Ausblasventil verbunden ist.

This object is achieved according to the invention by providing a hookah which is characterized in that

1. a) the base is divided into two parts (2, 3) and there is an adjustment ring (1) between the two parts,
2. b) it has a flanged air duct system (4) connected by at least two pipes, each connected to one of at least two blow-out valves (A1, A2...) permanently located on the hookah, being rotated by turning the regulating ring (1) can be used to set which pipe is connected to which blow-off valve and
3. c) there are three flanges (F1, F2, F3) above the adjusting ring, which are connected to each other by small pipes ( ), whereby the smoke is distributed via the flanges by the regulating ring (1) on the two-part base (2, 3) closing the hole that belongs to the flange, which is then connected to the exhaust valve to be controlled.

According to the invention, the flange air duct system (4) comprises three flanges (F1, F2, F3) which are placed one on top of the other and whose small tubes each lead to a different hole in the base ( , and ). The holes are closed and opened by operating the control ring (1).

The smoke that flows through the bowl (12) into the base when the mouthpiece is drawn is then guided into the flanged air duct system (4), which is located on the base.

Advantageously, the water pipe according to the invention, thanks to the complex flange air duct system (4), allows all blow-out valves that are permanently located on the water pipe to be controlled at any time by turning the regulating ring.

In contrast to devices from the prior art, the water pipe according to the invention does not have to be disassembled and reassembled in order to control blow-out valves, which can be located anywhere on the water pipe. Since the flange air duct system (4) is located on the base, the disadvantageous practical, optical and haptic effects of the devices from the prior art do not occur with the water pipe according to the invention.

The water pipe according to the invention also enables a tensile and therefore stable and also tight connection of the respective components connected to one another through the use of the flanges.

Provision can be made for the smoke to flow out at only one point, that is to say through a single smoke duct, on the outside of one of the blow-out valves. However, traditional smoke patterns can be achieved in a manner known per se in that a number of smoke channels are correspondingly connected to a number of blow-out valves, so that the smoke emerges from the blow-out valves at a number of points at the same time.

The bowl is preferably made of glass, ceramic or a plastic material such as acrylic.

The smoke column of the water pipe according to the invention is preferably made of brass or steel.
One end of the smoke column is in the water and the other end points upwards, whereupon the tobacco head is placed. The tobacco bowl is preferably made of metal, ceramic, earthenware or silicone, with silicone being particularly preferred.
The amount of tobacco that is filled into the tobacco bowl depends on its size and shape. Usually the amount of tobacco is about 20 g.
The tube is preferably made of leather, plastic or rubber.

The invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Rather, a large number of variants and modifications are conceivable which make use of the idea according to the invention and therefore also fall within the scope of protection.
