Description

Prerequisites for creating the invention

Field of technology to which the invention relates

The invention relates to a hookah device, and more particularly to the various components of a hookah, individually and together, forming an assembled hookah device intended for smoking flammable materials.

Description of the Prior Art

Hookah devices have long been known in this field and are used primarily for burning and smoking hookah tobacco and other combustible materials. However, despite the fact that various hookah designs have been proposed, each of them has its own disadvantages. For example, a traditional hookah contains a clay or ceramic head that is used to hold a flammable product (such as hookah tobacco). In operation, the user places hookah tobacco into the head and then uses a flame (from a lighter or other ignition device) to ignite and cause the hookah tobacco to burn. This method requires the hookah user to have certain skills to properly place the hookah tobacco. Additionally, due to the ignition process, the hookah takes a long time to prepare and heat up and, importantly, does not burn evenly. Finally, when hookah tobacco is burned, ash or other residue remains in the head, requiring cleaning, which is a time-consuming process.

In an attempt to eliminate some of the problems of traditional hookahs, electronic hookahs have been developed. Modern electronic hookahs use an electronically powered heater to heat and/or burn hookah tobacco. The problem with these existing systems is that the heat is not distributed evenly and there is a leak in the air flow.

Therefore, there is still a need for a smart hookah with components designed to improve various aspects and functions of existing hookah devices.

Description

The present invention relates to a hookah device comprising various components that individually and collectively provide an improvement over traditional hookah devices through the use of a consumable cartridge in combination with a rationally designed head. More specifically, and as described in more detail below, the graphics provided in conjunction with this specification depict various hookah components forming an assembled hookah designed for smoking various materials. The invention is an assembled hookah device and, in other aspects, relates to certain components described and illustrated that can be used with any hookah device, including any or all of the components (or any combination thereof) disclosed in US Provisional Application No. 62/ 815,167, filed March 7, 2019, and US Provisional Application No. 62/929,273, filed November 1, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the invention relates to a hookah device 100. The hookah device 100 is configured to look like a traditional hookah (though not limited to this) and contains all relevant components that may be needed to use the hookah device 100, including, but not limited to, a head 102, a plate 104 (optional), a shaft or leg 106, and a hose outlet 108 protruding from the main body 114 of the hookah. Attached to the hose outlet 108 is a hose 110, and a bulb 112 is located underneath the hookah body 114. However, and as shown in the exploded view illustration in FIG. 3, the hookah device 100 provides a marked improvement over the prior art due to a new and improved head 102 design.

The head 102 is configured to receive and heat the consumable cartridge 300 (and components therein). The consumable cartridge 300 contains flammable contents or any other material that, when heated, generates smoke or vapor for inhalation. By way of non-limiting example, the consumable cartridge 300 contains hookah tobacco, cannabis, herbal products, a liquid such as oil or tree sap, and the like.

The head 102 is formed to be of any suitable shape and contains all necessary components for heating the associated consumable cartridge 300. As a non-limiting example, the head 102 includes a bowl portion 302 that contains a recess for receiving the consumable cartridge 300. An electronic heating mechanism is present to for heating the consumable cartridge 300 and its internal fuel or other contents (for example, hookah tobacco, liquid, etc.). For example, the heating mechanism includes a heating plate 304 (such as a plate of ferromagnetic or other thermally conductive material) that can be pressed against the supply cartridge 300. A bowl top 306 is provided to hold the heating plate 304 pressed against the supply cartridge 300 for sufficient heat transfer while the heating plate 304 serves to distribute heat evenly throughout the consumable cartridge 300. It is important to note that a heater 308 is present to heat the heating plate 304. Heater 308 is any suitable mechanism or device operative to provide heat to the consumable cartridge 300 directly or indirectly (eg via heating plate 304). A non-limiting example of such a heater 308 includes an electrical induction coil (as shown in the figure). Finally, and in various embodiments, a head cap 310 is present to securely secure the heater 308 in place and attach to the heating plate 304.

In a desirable aspect, the head 102 is formed as a one-piece component that is securely attached to the hookah body 114 to form the hookah device 100. In another aspect, the head 102 may be formed to be sold separately and/or otherwise attached to any conventional hookah body. By way of non-limiting example and as shown in FIG. 4B and C, a conical contact surface 400 may be formed at the bottom of the head 102 to allow the head to securely engage with a corresponding cone-shaped portion 402 of the hookah body 114. Alternatively, in a non-limiting example, a hookah device would utilize a proprietary contact surface to selectively couple to the rest of the system (shaft, water bowl, and hose). For example, a rubber sleeve with a series of serrated projections may be wrapped around the top of the hookah body to allow the conical shaped portion 402 to be securely pressed into position relative to the hookah body. Thus, as one skilled in the art will appreciate, there are a number of ways in which the hookah head 102 can be attached to the hookah body 104. As noted above, it should be understood that the described and illustrated components of the head 102 can be implemented in either removable or permanently attached (to the main body of the hookah) embodiments. In other words, as mentioned above, the head 102 may be permanently attached to the hookah body 114. In such an embodiment, all relevant components, as described and illustrated, are implemented in a permanently attached head 102. Additional details regarding the various components of the head 102 are presented below.

In fig. 4A and 4B respectively show a top view and a side cross-sectional view of the hookah device 100. For a better understanding, FIG. 4C is an exploded view of the head 102 shown in FIG. 4B. As shown in FIG. 4B and C, an air passage 404 passes through the head 102 (and the consumable cartridge 300 contained therein), through the hookah body 114, and into a shaft 406 that introduces a gaseous product (e.g., smoke) into the flask 112. The smoke then exits the flask. 112 through the hose outlet 108 (and the subsequent hose) for inhalation by the user. In some aspects, a valve may be added at any desired location in the air passage or hose outlet 108 or in the hose.

As noted above, a characteristic aspect of the present invention is to provide a head 102 and a corresponding consumable cartridge 300. As described in more detail below, the consumable cartridge 300 can be made in a variety of forms to solve some of the problems found in traditional hookah devices. For example, the consumable cartridge 300 was designed to solve leakage problems that are typical of existing e-hookah solutions. Leakage is a problem because it can contaminate the entire shaft with liquid that is very difficult to clean, so residue remains from one session to the next, resulting in colored water and loss of flavor. Additionally, instead of heating the liquid for consumption, liquid leakage is essentially a loss of liquid (i.e. liquid leaks out), resulting in a shorter than expected hookah session. The present invention solves this problem by placing both a cartridge inlet 408 (for ambient air) and a cartridge inlet 410 (for smoke) in the upward facing surface of the secondary cover of the consumable cartridge 300. These aspects are further illustrated in FIG. 5A and B.

As noted above and shown in FIG. 4C, 5A, and 5B, the head 102 is formed to receive a consumable cartridge 300. It will be understood that the head 102 is formed in any suitable manner or shape to receive and heat a consumable cartridge 300. In some aspects, the consumable cartridge 300 may be inserted through a side cartridge recess of a portion 302 in the form of a bowl. In other aspects, the consumable cartridge 300 is placed in the upper cartridge recess. Thus, although a specific head 102 is illustrated and described below, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited thereto. For example, in one aspect, a cartridge recess 518 is formed in a cup portion 302 to receive and securely hold a consumable cartridge 300. Above and around the perimeter of the cartridge recess 518 there is a rise 502 that is formed to receive a cup top 306. Desirably, the consumable cartridge 300, the bowl portion 302, and the top bowl portion 306 are configured to allow air to pass through them (via an air passage). For example, the bowl top 306 includes a top inlet 504 that is aligned with a cartridge inlet 408 for entraining air 506 into the supply cartridge 300. The bowl top 306 also includes a top outlet 508 that is aligned with a cartridge outlet 410 to accept smoke 510 from the top of the consumable cartridge 300 and directing the smoke 510 back down into the smoke passage 512 formed through the bowl portion 302. Thus, the top bowl portion 306 effectively seals the bowl portion 302 behind

- 4 043706 except for the inlet port 504 of the upper part.

The bowl top 306 also includes a centrally formed heater recess 514 that is formed to securely retain the heater 308 while allowing the heater 308 to directly engage the plate 304. For example, an opening 520 is formed through the bowl top 306 with a perimeter formed around the opening 520 a heater lift to receive and hold the heater 308. Also as stated above, the consumable cartridge 300 includes a cover surface for enclosing the consumable material 500 (eg, hookah tobacco) therein. The coating surface includes both a cartridge inlet 408 and a cartridge outlet 410. Desirably, the coating surface includes a coating recess 516 formed to receive and accommodate a heating plate 304. Thus, when the heater 308 is installed in the heater recess 514, the plate 304 is securely held between the heater 308 and the coating recess 516 to transfer heat through the top part of the consumable cartridge 300 and the combustion of material 500 in it.

It should be understood that any suitable heating method may be used in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention. In one aspect and as shown, the heat source (ie, heater 308) is located on top of the consumable cartridge 300 rather than underneath it. Although one can imagine an embodiment in which the heater 308 is located below the cartridge 300, it is desirable for the heater 308 to be located on top of the cartridge 300 (as shown) to provide a smoking experience that is as close as possible to a conventional sensation in terms of flavor and volume of smoke. The normal experience is primarily provided by the controlled and uniform heating of the cartridge 300 and the consumable or product therein. In this aspect, the device moves away from the concept of a more uniform calcination in favor of a more gradient approach to heating, with the system closer to the electric version of coal than traditionally used. It should be noted that the problem with traditional coal-heated hookahs is the danger of burning the coal, inhaling toxic substances emitted by the burning coal, and a variety of safety issues. Thus, the head 102 and cartridge 300 described in this invention solve such problems through a controlled and uniform heating process. It should also be noted that this approach does not necessarily require an induction heating source, although it is desirable to include such a heater 308. Additionally, it should be understood that the electronic heating mechanism contains all relevant components that may be needed to enable the heater 308 to heat and operate in the desired manner, non-limiting examples of which include electrical cords, wires, output plugs, batteries, temperature control relays (if adjustment is required temperature), etc. Thus, depending on the desired configuration, the electronic heating mechanism contains appropriate components to ensure that the heater 308 receives current, or other characteristics that may be required for heating.

In one aspect, heater 308 utilizes a stranded wire of copper (or other suitable metal or material) arranged in a flat coil to form an electromagnetic induction coil (the same as those found in induction cookers). As stated above, the coil is mounted in the top portion 306 of the bowl and covered by a head cap 310. The ends of the copper wire of the coil are connected to the excitation circuit. The induction field that is generated when the coil is powered by high frequency oscillating current (or other suitable excitation source) serves to heat the ferromagnetic plate 304, which forms the main heat source and replaces the coals used in a traditional hookah system. Although the induction coil has been described above, it should be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited thereto, that is, any type of electrical heating mechanism may be used as heater 308.

The ferromagnetic plate 304 is heated sufficiently to raise the temperature of the hookah tobacco (or other consumable 500), i.e., in the consumable cartridge 300, to a temperature at which it begins to emit smoke. When a user takes a puff on the hose, ambient air is drawn in through the top inlet 504 and forced through the cartridge 300. As shown, the consumable cartridge 300 is completely filled to the top of the cartridge 300, however, in reality there may be an air gap between the top of the material 500 and the top surface cartridge 300, between two openings 408 and 410. As air is drawn through the consumable cartridge 300 and from the cartridge outlet 410 to the shaft, it takes with it the smoke 510 generated due to the heating of the consumable 500.

In another aspect, the heater may provide induction heating, using electromagnetic induction to heat the bowl without contacting it. For example, a metal coil may be built into the main body of a hookah, and a high-frequency alternating current may pass through it, which creates an alternating electromagnetic field. Since the bowl in this aspect is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as, but not limited to, stainless steel, the bowl heats up due to magnetic hysteresis losses. In other words, the magnetic field of the bowl cannot change at the same rate as the electromagnetic field created by the coil. This resistance from the changing magnetic field very quickly turns into heat.

- 5 043706

In yet another aspect and as shown in FIG. 6A-D, the bowl top 306 may be formed such that the top inlet 504 provides inlet heating. In this aspect, ambient air drawn into the supply cartridge 300 is heated by the air heater 600 before reaching the supply cartridge 300. For example, the air heater 600 may be a heating element such as a nichrome wire. In some aspect, the heating wire (ie, air heater 600) may be configured to heat when air inhalation is detected by sensors or other suitable components to provide such functionality. The basis for this aspect could be a more detailed reproduction of a traditional hookah bowl, where the air entering the bowl is heated by the coal located at the top on the foil before contacting the actual hookah tobacco. Thus, and as one skilled in the art will appreciate, there are many ways in which the consumable cartridge 300 can be heated in accordance with the present invention.

It should be noted that the consumable cartridge 300 may be formed in any suitable shape or in any suitable manner for use with the hookah device of the present invention. For example, although the consumable cartridge 300 is illustrated as a round can, it could also have a rounded shape (or any other shape), like a sardine tin. It should be noted and as shown in Fig. 7A-C, the consumable cartridge 300 has certain features that overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. For example, the 300 consumable cartridge is self-contained, so after use you only need to throw away the 300 cartridge rather than trying to clean the bowl. Additionally, the consumable cartridge 300, in some aspects, includes a cap 700. The cap 700 is any suitable cap that can be sealed and easily removed. For example, the cap 700 may be a peel-off cap or membrane, such as a metal or aluminum peel-off cap commonly used in a variety of packaging applications. Under the removable cover 700 is a cover surface 702 of the consumable cartridge 300, which includes a cartridge inlet 408 and a cartridge outlet 410. Also shown is a housing 704 that functions as a housing for holding the consumable 500. Thus, the consumable cartridge 300 is unique in that it contains a permanent coating surface 702 that remains in place after the cover 700 is removed. As noted above, the coating surface 702 provides two openings 408 and 410 forming a seal with two air passages (i.e., top inlet 504 and top outlet 508, as shown in FIGS. 4C, 5A, and 5B) when the consumable cartridge 300 is placed in the head for use.

Also as noted above, the cover surface 702 of the consumable cartridge 300 is shown with a recess 516 in the cover for a heating plate (although it is desirable to securely fasten the plate, such a feature is not important for the heat transfer function). In a desirable aspect, a liner material may be added to adhere to the bottom of the tear cap 700 to seal the top of the openings 408 and 410 to prevent glycerin and aromatics from escaping due to leakage between the tear cap 700 and the secondary coating surface 702 during shipment. .

Another example of a consumable cartridge is shown in FIG. 8A-C. The consumable cartridge 800 in this example includes an insulating layer 802 (eg, a layer of metal) attached or otherwise positioned beneath the coating surface 804. In this aspect, the insulating layer 802 provides uniform heating of the hookah tobacco (and reduces combustion) by creating an air cavity 806 to prevent direct contact between the very hot coating surface 804 and the hookah tobacco in the refill cartridge 800.

Another example of a consumable cartridge is shown in FIG. 9A-9C. The consumable cartridge 900 in this example includes one or more heating channels 902 that may be located in the material 500 and beneath the coating surface 904. Heating channels 902 are metal or other heat-conducting channels that can be pressed into hookah tobacco. Optionally, a mesh material 906 may be added to assist in transferring temperature to the heating channels 902. The goal here is to provide more surface area of the material 500 that can be heated more directly, and to allow additional air flow through the material 500 for more smoke volume. The mesh material 906 may be added for heating to increase thermal radiation from the top of the cartridge 900 by slightly more direct heating through contact with the material 500 itself.

Another example of a consumable cartridge is shown in FIG. 10A-C. The consumable cartridge 1000 in this example includes an inner casing 1002 with one or more air reservoirs 1004. The inner casing 1002 is located in the consumable cartridge 1000 and contains the material 500. The purpose of the inner casing 1002 in this example is to more closely replicate a traditional hookah bowl by providing air openings through the mass of material 500 to increase the smoke emission potential of the cartridge 1000. In all cartridge concepts, it is desirable that the cartridge inlets and outlets remain on the top surface to minimize
