Definitions

  • the subject matter described herein relates generally to a system, device, and method preparing tobacco or other organic material for smoking using a water pipe, such as a hookah.
  • Traditional water pipes generally include a plate for supporting charcoal, a head for containing tobacco, a body including an internal pipe, a base for containing water, and a hose.
  • a user will first fill the base with water and then place the internal pipe into the water such that the body creates an airtight seal with the base.
  • the head is then filled with tobacco or other organic material and placed over the internal pipe such that an airtight seal is created between the internal pipe and the head.
  • the user places the plate over the head, places one or more lit charcoals on the plate and these charcoals serve to heat the tobacco underneath the plate.
  • the hose is typically attached to the body such that it has an airtight connection with air above the water in the base.
  • the user can inhale through the hose which draws smoke from the heated tobacco in the head through the internal pipe, through the water contained in the base, through the hose and into the user's lungs.
  • EP2179667A1 discloses a cartridge, which comprises a container wall with sealed perforations and which within this containerwall containsan individual portion of hookah tobacco. It further relates to a set for hookahs with such a standardised cartridge having a outwardly extending sealing edge and a standardised bowl for a hookah having a sealing shoulder within the bowl wall working together with the sealing edge of the cartridge.
  • US2014/026902A1 discloses a tobacco head for a water pipe.
  • US2010/083973A1 discloses a side heat bowl for use with a hookah comprising a first receptacle having an interior portion capable of holding a first material to be smoked and a second receptacle having an interior portion capable of holding a second material for providing a heat source for heating the first predetermined material. At least a portion of the sidewall portion of the second receptacle surrounds at least a portion of the side wall portion of the first receptacle. A plurality of apertures extending through the sidewall of the first receptacle is provided for transferring heat from the heat source to the material to be smoked. At least one aperture is disposed on the bottom portion of the first receptacle for providing fluid communication between the first predetermined material and the hookah.
  • the embodiments described herein relate to aspects of smoking tobacco (or other organic matter) via a water pipe.
  • the present invention provides a hookah bowl as defined in the present claim 1.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary water pipe 10 in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the water pipc generally comprises: a base 100, a stem 200, a bowl 300, and a hose 400.
  • An exemplary water pipe is described in U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 13/489,475, filed on June 6, 2012 .
  • the base 100 comprises a concave vessel having an open top portion for containing water or other liquid 102 therein.
  • the stem 200 extends into the base such that a distal end of the stem is partially submerged within the liquid 102 contained therein.
  • the stem 200 also couples to the open top portion of the base so as to form a substantially airtight seal therewith.
  • a first base grommet 104 may be provided to couple the stem 200 and the base 100 so as to form the substantially airtight seal. In this manner, a chamber is formed by the base 100 and stem 200/grommet 104.
  • the hose 400 extends into the base 100 such that a proximal portion of the hose 400 is in fluid communication with the chamber 106, though preferably not within the contained liquid 102 (e.g. air can pass between chamber 106 and hose 400).
  • a substantially airtight seal is formed from the coupling of the hose 400 and base 100.
  • a second hose grommet 108 may be provided to couple the hose 400 and the base 100 so as to form the substantially airtight seal.
  • a hose valve (not shown) may be intermediate the hose 400 and the base 100, the hose valve extending into the chamber 106 at one end and exterior to the chamber 106, coupling with the hose 400, at the other.
  • Bowl 300 couples to a proximal end of stem 200 such that a substantially airtight seal is formed therebetween. Accordingly, a third bowl grommet 110 may be provided to couple bowl 300 and stem 200 so as to form the substantially airtight seal.
  • organic matter to be smoked 308 may be contained within bowl 300, and bowl 300 may be covered with a cover 112, such as punctured foil, or a ventilated cover such as that described in U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 13/489,475, filed on June 6, 2012 , the entire contents and disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.
  • Coals 114 or other combustible heating material can be placed on or in cover 112 to heat the tobacco 308.
  • bowl 300, stem 200 and hose 400 each comprise a hollow tube such that when base 100, bowl 300, stem 200 and hose 400 are coupled, an airflow path is formed.
  • a user inhaling at the distal end of hose 400 may thus draw heated air into bowl 300, causing the organic material 308 therein to burn, releasing smoke that is subsequently drawn through bowl 300, through stem 200, and into liquid 102 contained within chamber 106 of base 100.
  • the smoke then rises through liquid 102 into the preferably sealed area above liquid 102 in the chamber 106, becoming filtered in the process, and inhaled through hose 400 as it is smoked by the user.
  • bowl 300 generally comprises a substantially hemispherical bowl head 302 extending vertically and radially from a substantially cylindrical bowl stalk 304.
  • bowl stalk 304 may be flared outward at its bottom end to facilitate easier manipulation and coupling with a stem, as previously described.
  • Bowl 300 preferably further comprises interior 306 and exterior 307 surfaces separated by a rim portion 310.
  • located central to the bowl head 302, and forming a portion of the inner surface of the bowl 300 may be a hollow tube 312 extending the length of the bowl 300 from the bowl head 302 through the bowl stalk 304.
  • Hollow tube 312, and other structures herein described, are additionally shown in FIG. 2E , which is a cross-sectional illustration of an exemplary bowl 300.
  • Bowl head 302 preferably further comprises a plurality of compartments 320 therein for containing the organic matter or other material to be smoked.
  • a plurality of internal walls 322 may extend inward from the interior surface of the bowl head to hollow tube 312, forming the plurality of compartments 320. Accordingly, each internal wall 322 may partially or wholly separate adjacent compartments 320.
  • Compartments 320 may have varied dimensions and may be uniform or sized differently in different embodiments. In the example embodiment each compartment is of equal depth and similar dimensions and shape. Each compartment may have a "U" shaped cross sectional profile when viewed from a side. Alternatively, each compartment may have a "V" shape, open-top square shape, open-top rectangular shape or other shapes.
  • bowl 300 may comprise at least six such compartments 320a, 320b, etc.
  • additional or fewer compartments may be formed without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • organic matter such as tobacco or shisha or other organic material having different flavors, may be mixed or otherwise combined in a single bowl 300 for smoking.
  • internal walls 322 may be spirally oriented.
  • the spiral orientation may facilitate mixing of flavors.
  • compartments 320 may not have spiral orientation and may be more similar to a pie shape.
  • the compartments 320 may be non-identical.
  • some compartments 320 may be larger than others.
  • compartments 320 may be concentrically oriented, or partially thcrcso.
  • internal walls 322 facilitate even heating.
  • multiple hollow tubes 312 may be included. For instance, three hollow tubes 312 may exist in bowl head 302 and may merge into a single hollow tube 312 in bowl stalk 304.
  • compartments 320 are slightly recessed from an upper elevation of the rim 310, forming a space between a cover and the organic matter to be smoked (see FIGs. 2A , 2E , 2I , 2L , 2M , 3C , 5A and 5C ) so as to promote airflow from the organic matter to the hollow tube 312.
  • FIGs. 2B and 2M show a top view of the bowl 300.
  • Compartments 320 are shown in the spiral configuration about central hollow tube 312.
  • compartments 320 may provide flavor mixing advantages not currently present in the art. For instance, one compartment 320a may be used for a first flavor of tobacco while a second compartment 320b may be used for a second flavor, and so on until each compartment 320 is filled. Unique and easily reproducible flavor combinations may be created by a user based on this design. Additionally, compartments 320 may be used to measure particular amounts of respective different flavorings so as to generate an easily reproducible ratio.
  • bowl stalk 304 may further comprise a grommet 314 for effecting a substantially airtight seal with a water pipe stem.
  • grommet 314 may include threading, tread, ribs or other surface characteristics.
  • Grommet 314 may be the same material as the rest of bowl 300 although in some embodiments it may be a different material.
  • grommet 314 may be rubber to promote better sealing characteristics and permanently coupled with hollow tube 312.
  • Grommet 314 may be flared as shown in the example embodiment of FIG. 2C by the concentric rings at the center. This may create a conical cross section of grommet 314 when viewed from the side of bowl 300, as shown in FIG. 2E .
  • the conical cross section may promote better sealing characteristics with a water pipe stem and ease of user coupling of head 300 with the water pipe stem.
  • grommet 314 preferably replaces the traditional bowl grommet shown in FIG. 1B .
  • an exterior surface of the bowl may comprise a grip portion 316.
  • this grip portion 316 may include individual features that create a friction surface providing additional grip to the user.
  • the grip surface may include ridges, bumps, depressions and other features.
  • the grip portion 316 in the example embodiment is a series of lines with arcing features, running generally parallel to each other around bowl 300.
  • a similar series of lines with arcing features in an opposite direction run generally substantially parallel to each other around bowl 300 such that numerous intersections of each set of lines with any one line creates a cross-hatched pattern around bowl 300.
  • bowl 300 is made of silicone material. Silicone may have advantages such as improved insulation around the head 302 and improved heat distribution inside the head 302 and may also provide improved uniformity of heat distribution.
  • silicone is FDA approved silicone. Improved insulation around head 302 may provide an improved user experience since users are less likely to burn themselves when handling bowl 300 when it is hot. Improved heat distribution inside head 302 may provide an improved user experience since it promotes even heating characteristics for organic matter in compartments 320. As such, organic matter may be evenly heated and less likely to have portions burn while other portions remain unheated. In other embodiments clay, marble, glass, or other appropriate materials may be used.
  • rim portion 310 may further comprise a coupling surface for frictionally coupling a cover (not shown) to bowl 300 such that charcoal or other heat source may provide heat to tobacco or other organic substances while remaining separated therefrom, in accordance with the embodiments and concepts discussed herein.
