Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mit Tabak beladene Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel, eine diesbezügliche Verwendung sowie das Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Wasserpfeife - also dem Rauchen von Tabakrauch aus Tabak - und eine Wasserpfeife selbst.The invention relates to a hookah tobacco capsule loaded with tobacco, a related use and the method for operating a hookah - i.e. smoking tobacco smoke from tobacco - and a hookah itself.

Aus dem Stand der Technik, insbesondere US 9,433,241 B1 , sind, insbesondere aus Aluminium bestehende, Behältnisse bekannt, die Wasserpfeifentabak enthalten, wobei diese Behältnisse kapselartig ausgestaltet sind und an der oberen und unteren Außenoberfläche nach Abziehen von entsprechend vorher applizierten Kunststoffdichtungen viele Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen aufweisen, um im Einsatz - also beim Erzeugen von Tabakrauch durch verglimmendes Verbrennen durch starkes Erhitzen mittels in der Regel glimmenden Kohlen, die oberhalb einer solchen Kapsel angeordnet sind - den Tabak glimmend zu verbrennen, wobei Luft und damit zum größten Teil Sauerstoff durch die Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen eintritt, damit ein kontrollierter, glimmender Abbrand des sich im Inneren einer solchen Tabakkapsel befindenden Tabaks stattfinden kann.From the state of the art, in particular US 9,433,241 B1 , are containers, especially made of aluminium, which contain water pipe tobacco, these containers being designed like capsules and having a large number of gas passage openings on the upper and lower outer surface after the corresponding previously applied plastic seals have been removed, in order to be able to use it - i.e. when producing tobacco smoke by smoldering Combustion by strong heating by means of usually smoldering coals, which are arranged above such a capsule - to burn the tobacco smoldering, with air and thus for the most part oxygen entering through the gas passage openings, so that a controlled, smoldering combustion of the inside of such a Tobacco capsule located tobacco can take place.

Nachteilig hat sich hierbei erwiesen, dass ein nicht unerheblicher Teil des Tabaks nicht mit verbrennt und unverbrannt im Inneren der Tabakkapsel verbleibt und darüber hinaus die entstehende Asche der oberen Schichten sich im Laufe der Zeit in den unteren Schichten des Tabaks verfängt und somit zum Teil zu erheblichen sensorischen Irritationen führen.The disadvantage here has proven that a not inconsiderable part of the tobacco does not burn and remains unburned inside the tobacco capsule and, in addition, the resulting ash of the upper layers gets caught in the lower layers of the tobacco over time and thus becomes significant in some cases lead to sensory irritation.

DE 10 2016 120 786 A1 offenbart eine Kapsel zum Einsetzen in einen Kopf einer Wasserpfeife, umfassend einen Kapselkörper und einen Deckel mit zumindest einer Öffnung, wobei der Kapselkörper und der Deckel einen Portionsraum umschließen, in dem eine Einzelportion Wasserpfeifentabak vorhanden ist, und wobei der Deckel durch eine Schweißnaht feuchtigkeitsdicht mit dem Kapselkörper verbunden ist, wobei die Schweißnaht hilfsstofffrei erzeugt ist und der Deckel und der Kapselkörper durch die Schweißnaht unmittelbar miteinander verbunden sind. DE 10 2016 120 786 A1 discloses a capsule for insertion into a bowl of a water pipe, comprising a capsule body and a lid with at least one opening, the capsule body and the lid enclosing a portion space in which a single portion of water pipe tobacco is present, and the lid being moisture-tight by a weld seam with the Capsule body is connected, the weld seam is produced free of auxiliary materials and the lid and the capsule body are connected directly to one another by the weld seam.

WO 01/97641 A1 offenbart eine Wasserpfeife, bei der im Mundstück eine Filtereinheit auf Aktivkohlebasis offenbart ist. WO 01/97641 A1 discloses a water pipe in which an activated charcoal-based filter unit is disclosed in the mouthpiece.

DE 20 2016 002 621 U1 offenbart einen Kaminkopf, Material Ton, oder Keramik, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Kaminkopf ein großes Zugloch in der Mitte aufweist, wobei hier jedes Maß anwendbar ist und das Zugloch sich komplett von oben nach unten durch den Kaminkopf erstreckt. DE 20 2016 002 621 U1 discloses a chimney head, material clay, or ceramic, characterized in that the chimney head has a large draft hole in the middle, any dimension being applicable here and the draft hole extending completely from top to bottom through the chimney head.

WO 2017/216593 A1 offenbart eine mit Tabak beladene Wasserpfeifentabackapsel, wobei diese derart ausgestaltet ist, dass zwei in bezug auf im Einsatz gasdurchlässige Außenoberflächen entgegengesetzte Gasdurchtrittsrichtungen realisierbar sind bzw. im Einsatz realisiert werden mittels Wenden der Tabackapsel, wobei die Tabakkapsel in ihrem Inneren mindestens ein gasdurchlässiges Tabakkompartimentierungselement aufweist, wobei im Inneren der Tabackapsel mindestens zwei Tabak enthaltende Tabakkompartimente gebildet und in Gasdurchtrittsrichtung seriell angeordnet sind. Auch hier hat es sich als nachteilig erwiesen, dass ein gewisser Teil des Tabaks nicht mit verbrennt und unverbrannt im Inneren der Tabakkapsel verbleibt und darüber hinaus die entstehende Asche der oberen Schichten sich im Laufe der Zeit in den unteren Schichten des Tabaks verfängt und somit zum Teil zu erheblichen sensorischen Irritationen führt. WO 2017/216593 A1 discloses a hookah tobacco capsule loaded with tobacco, which is designed in such a way that two opposite directions of gas passage with respect to outer surfaces that are gas-permeable in use can be realized or are realized in use by turning the tobacco capsule, the tobacco capsule having at least one gas-permeable tobacco compartmentation element in its interior, wherein at least two tobacco-containing tobacco compartments are formed inside the tobacco capsule and are arranged serially in the gas passage direction. Here, too, it has proven to be disadvantageous that a certain part of the tobacco does not burn and remains unburned inside the tobacco capsule and, moreover, the resulting ash of the upper layers gets caught in the lower layers of the tobacco over time and thus partly leads to significant sensory irritation.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Tabak beladene Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel bereitzustellen, die eine hohe Ausnutzung des sich im Inneren von solchen Kapseln befindenden Tabaks bewerkstelligt und darüber hinaus erheblich weniger sensorische Irritationen auftreten.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a tobacco-loaded hookah tobacco capsule which achieves a high level of utilization of the tobacco located inside such capsules and, in addition, causes considerably less sensory irritation.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Wasserpfeifentabackapsel nach Anspruch 1, eine Verwendung nach Anspruch 15, ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 21 sowie eine Wasserpfeife nach Anspruch 23.This problem is solved according to the invention by a water pipe tobacco capsule according to claim 1, a use according to claim 15, a method according to claim 21 and a water pipe according to claim 23.

Erfindungsgemäß handelt es sich bei der mit Tabak beladenen Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel um eine solche, die derart ausgestaltet ist, dass zwei in bezug auf im Einsatz gasdurchlässige Außenoberflächen, die beispielsweise und insbesondere im Querschnitt ovaloid ausgebildet sind, entgegengesetzte Gasdurchtrittsrichtungen, beispielsweise und insbesondere von oben nach unten bzw. von unten nach oben, realisierbar sind bzw. im Einsatz realisiert werden durch Wenden der Tabakkapsel, beispielsweise und insbesondere durch Wenden um ca. 180 Winkelgrad, wobei die Tabakkapsel in ihrem Inneren mindestens ein gasdurchlässiges Tabakkompartimentierungselement, beispielsweise und insbesondere rostartig ausgestaltet, aufweist, wobei im Inneren der Tabakkapsel mindestens zwei Tabak enthaltende Tabakkompartimente gebildet und in Gasdurchtrittsrichtung seriell angeordnet sind, sodass sich beispielsweise und insbesondere die Reihenfolge (von oben nach unten) oberes Tabakkompartiment, Tabakkompartimentierungselement in Form eines Rostes sowie ein darunter angeordnetes (weiteres) und zweites Tabakkompartiment ergibt.According to the invention, the hookah tobacco capsule loaded with tobacco is designed in such a way that two outer surfaces which are gas-permeable during use and which, for example and in particular, are ovaloid in cross-section, have opposite gas passage directions, for example and in particular from top to bottom or From bottom to top, can be implemented or implemented in use by turning the tobacco capsule, for example and in particular by turning it through about 180 degrees of angle, the tobacco capsule having at least one gas-permeable tobacco compartmenting element, for example and in particular in the form of a grate, in its interior, with At least two tobacco compartments containing tobacco are formed inside the tobacco capsule and are arranged serially in the direction of gas passage, so that, for example and in particular, the sequence (from top to bottom) is upper tobacco compartment, tobacco compartmentation element in the form of a grate and a (further) and second tobacco compartment arranged underneath.

Erfindungsgemäß werden im Inneren einer solchen Tabakkapsel mittels eines Tabakkompartimentierungselementes, beispielsweise und insbesondere in Form eines rostartig ausgestalteten Netzes, zwei Tabakkompartimente in serieller Gasdurchtrittsrichtung gebildet, sodass bei einer ersten Applikation - also beim Erhitzen von der sich oberhalb von der Tabakkapsel angeordneten Heizeinheit, beispielsweise und insbesondere in Form einerglühende Kohlen aufweisenden Schale, der Tabak quasi glimmend von oben nach unten verbrennt und die angesammelte Asche sich zu einem überwiegenden Anteil im oberen Kompartiment bei den Resten des verglimmten Tabaks anheftet, während der ungenutzte sich im unteren zweiten Kompartiment befindende Tabak durch anschließendes Wenden der erfindungsgemäßen Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel in einer Art "zweiten Durchgang" verwendet werden kann, wobei dann auch hier ein kontrolliert glimmender Abbrand des Tabaks stattfindet und die angesammelte Asche an den Resten des Tabaks, der sich im zweiten Kompartiment befindet, anhaftet.According to the invention, two tobacco compartments are arranged in series in the interior of such a tobacco capsule by means of a tobacco compartmentation element, for example and in particular in the form of a grid-like net Gas passage direction formed, so that in a first application - i.e. when heated by the heating unit arranged above the tobacco capsule, for example and in particular in the form of a shell having glowing coals, the tobacco burns quasi smoldering from top to bottom and the majority of the accumulated ash burns sticks to the remains of the smoldering tobacco in the upper compartment, while the unused tobacco in the lower second compartment can be used in a kind of "second pass" by subsequently turning the water pipe tobacco capsule according to the invention, in which case a controlled smoldering combustion of the tobacco then also takes place here and the accumulated ash adheres to the remains of the tobacco located in the second compartment.

Auf diese Art und Weise wird der sich in der Tabakkapsel befindende Tabak effizient verbraucht und gleichzeitig durch die rostartige Struktur des Tabakkompartimentierungselementes in Verbindung mit auf diesem aufliegenden Tabak die Kontamination des darunter liegenden Tabaks mit Asche erheblich vermindert, was zu einer verbesserten sensorischen Wahrnehmung der Tabakqualität führt.In this way, the tobacco in the tobacco capsule is efficiently consumed and, at the same time, the rust-like structure of the tobacco compartmentation element in conjunction with the tobacco lying on it significantly reduces the contamination of the underlying tobacco with ash, which leads to improved sensory perception of the tobacco quality .

In diesem Kontext ist es - wie bereits oben erwähnt - vorteilhaft, wenn das mindestens eine Tabakkompartimentierungselement rostartig ausgestaltet ist, um auf der einen Seite ein unkontrolliertes Durchfallen zu vermeiden und gleichzeitig eine Gaszugfähigkeit durch die Tabakkapsel zu gewährleisten, um einen sauberen und glimmenden Abbrand des Tabaks zu ermöglichen (gasdurchlässige Außenoberflächen, beispielsweise und insbesondere in Form von Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen).In this context, it is - as already mentioned above - advantageous if the at least one tobacco compartmentation element is designed like a grate in order to avoid uncontrolled falling through on the one hand and at the same time to ensure that the gas can be drawn through the tobacco capsule in order to ensure clean and smoldering combustion of the tobacco to allow (gas-permeable outer surfaces, for example and in particular in the form of gas passage openings).

In der Praxis hat es sich als vorteilhaft herausgestellt, dass die erfindungsgemä-ße Tabakkapsel Aluminium enthält oder aus Aluminium besteht, da aufgrund der hervorragenden Verarbeitbarkeit und der geringen Dichte beste Voraussetzungen für eine Massenproduktion gegeben sind.In practice, it has been found to be advantageous that the tobacco capsule according to the invention contains aluminum or is made of aluminum because due to the excellent processability and the low density are the best prerequisites for mass production.

Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Tabakkapsel an ihren Außenoberflächen Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen aufweist (siehe oben).In addition, it is advantageous if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has gas passage openings on its outer surfaces (see above).

Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Tabakkapsel mindestens zwei Tabackompartimentierungselemente aufweist, sodass dadurch nicht nur zwei sondern mehrere Tabakkompartimente entstehen können und entsprechend der jeweiligen Applikation die Tabakkapsel genauer anpassbar ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the tobacco capsule has at least two tobacco compartment partitioning elements, so that not only two but several tobacco compartments can arise and the tobacco capsule can be adapted more precisely according to the respective application.

In diesem Kontext ist es erfindungsgemäß, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Tabackapsel mindestens ein tabakfreies Tabakkompartiment aufweist, das in bezug auf die Gasdurchtrittsrichtung zu den mindestens zwei Tabakkompartimenten seriell angeordnet ist, insbesondere dann, wenn das tabakfreie Tabakkompartiment in bezug auf die Gasdurchtrittsöffnung zwischen den mindestens zwei Tabakkompartimenten angeordnet ist, um eine noch bessere thermische Trennung der beiden Tabakkompartimente voneinander zu erreichen und gleichzeitig die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Durchfallens / -rieselns von Tabakasche noch stärker minimiert wird oder aber in einer besonderen und vorteilhaften Ausführungsform das tabakfreie Tabakkompartiment eine Tabakrauchfiltereinheit zum partiellen Filtern von Giftstoffen aufweist, wobei es sich bei der Tabakrauchfiltereinheit um eine solche handelt, die Aktivkohle und/oder Kieselgel und/oder Nanopartikel enthält. In diesem Kontext haben sich bewährt:

  • Aktivkohle mit einer inneren Oberfläche von 300 bis 2000 m2 / g bei einer Dichte von 0,2 bis 0,6 g/cm3.
  • Kieselgel mit einer inneren Oberfläche von 300 bis 800 m2 / g, insbesondere um die 600 m2 / g, bei einer Dichte von ca. 2,2 g/cm3 ;
In this context, it is according to the invention if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has at least one tobacco-free tobacco compartment, which is arranged in series with the at least two tobacco compartments with respect to the gas passage direction, in particular if the tobacco-free tobacco compartment is arranged between the at least two tobacco compartments with respect to the gas passage opening is to achieve an even better thermal separation of the two tobacco compartments from each other and at the same time the probability of tobacco ash falling / trickling through is minimized even more or, in a special and advantageous embodiment, the tobacco-free tobacco compartment has a tobacco smoke filter unit for partial filtering of toxins, wherein the tobacco smoke filter unit is one that contains activated carbon and/or silica gel and/or nanoparticles. In this context, the following have proven themselves:
  • Activated carbon with an internal surface area of 300 to 2000 m 2 /g at a density of 0.2 to 0.6 g/cm 3 .
  • silica gel with an internal surface area of 300 to 800 m 2 /g, in particular around 600 m 2 /g, with a density of approx. 2.2 g/cm 3 ;

Nanopartikel: die sich oft auf porösem Material, wie beispielsweise und insbesondere Celluloseacetat, Aluminiumoxid sowie Titandioxid befinden, wobei die Partikelgröße in der Regel im Bereich von 1 bis 1000 nm liegt und es sich bei den Materialien beispielsweise und insbesondere um Fullerene, Industrieruß, Nanoröhren, Metalle, wie beispielsweise und insbesondere Gold, Silber, Eisen, Metall- und Halbmetalloxide, wie beispielsweise und insbesondere SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, ZnO, Zeolithe, Metallsulfide, Halbleiter, wie beispielsweise und insbesondere CdTe, CdSe, Si, sowie Polymere, wie beispielsweise und insbesondere Dendrimere, Blockpolymere. In der Regel werden die Nanopartikel hergestellt durch Mahlprozesse und Laserablation, Fotolithographie, Elektronenstrahllithographie.Nanoparticles: often found on porous material such as, and in particular, cellulose acetate, aluminum oxide, and titanium dioxide, the particle size typically being in the range of 1 to 1000 nm, and the materials being, for example, and in particular, fullerenes, carbon black, nanotubes, Metals, such as, for example and in particular, gold, silver, iron, metal and semimetal oxides, such as, for example and in particular SiO 2 , TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , ZnO, zeolites, metal sulfides, semiconductors, such as, for example and in particular, CdTe, CdSe, Si, and polymers, such as, for example and in particular, dendrimers, block polymers. As a rule, the nanoparticles are produced by milling processes and laser ablation, photolithography, electron beam lithography.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Tabakkapsel einen Griff aufweist, um ein schnelles und sicheres Wenden der Wasserpfeifentabackapsel zu gewährleisten.It is of particular advantage if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has a handle in order to ensure that the water pipe tobacco capsule can be turned over quickly and safely.

Darüber hinaus ist es von besonderem Vorteil, um dem Benutzer ein besonders intensives sensorisches Erlebnis zu vermitteln, dass das tabakfreie Tabakkompartiment eine Aromatisierungseinheit aufweist, die beispielsweise und insbesondere als Pad oder Watte ausgestaltet ist.In addition, it is of particular advantage, in order to provide the user with a particularly intensive sensory experience, that the tobacco-free tobacco compartment has a flavoring unit, which is designed, for example and in particular, as a pad or cotton wool.

In diesem Kontext ist es von Vorteil, da bewährt, dass die Aromatisierungseinheit mit mindestens einem Aromastoff und/oder Duftstoff versehen ist, beispielsweise und insbesondere, wenn es sich bei dem Aromastoff um einen aus der Gruppe Aromaten, Ester, Terpene, Aldehyde, Ketone, Alkylpyrazine, und/oder dass es sich bei dem Duftstoff um einen aus der Gruppe Anethol, Benzaldehyd, Benzylalkohol, Citronellal, Citronellol, Coumarin, Decanal, Ethylacetat, Ethylbutanoat, Ethylvanillin, Eugenol, Geraniol, Heliotropin, Indol, Isoamylacetat, Ionon, Limonen, Menthol, Vanillin handelt.In this context, it is advantageous, since proven, that the flavoring unit is provided with at least one flavoring and/or fragrance, for example and in particular if the flavoring is one from the group of aromatics, esters, terpenes, aldehydes, ketones, Alkylpyrazine, and/or that the fragrance is one from the group of anethole, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, citronellal, citronellol, coumarin, decanal, ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, ethyl vanillin, eugenol, geraniol, heliotropin, indole, isoamyl acetate, ionone, limonene, Menthol, vanillin acts.

Weiterhin wird die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Tabakkapsel in einer Wasserpfeife beansprucht, wobei es in diesem Kontext vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Tabakkapsel durch Wenden dieser in der Wasserpfeife zweifach verwendbar ist bzw. verwendet wird respektive der in der Tabakkapsel befindliche Tabak somit nahezu vollständig verbraucht werden kann.Furthermore, the use of the tobacco capsule according to the invention in a hookah is claimed, it being advantageous in this context if the tobacco capsule can be used twice by turning it in the hookah or the tobacco in the tobacco capsule can thus be almost completely consumed.

In diesem Kontext wird auch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Wasserpfeife beansprucht, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass eine erfindungsgemäße Tabakkapsel verwendet wird.In this context, a method for operating a hookah is also claimed, which is characterized in that a tobacco capsule according to the invention is used.

In diesem Kontext ist es von Vorteil, da in der Praxis bewährt, dass die erfindungsgemäße Tabakkapsel durch Wenden dieser in der Wasserpfeife mindestens zweifach verwendbar ist bzw. verwendet wird.In this context, it is advantageous, since it has been proven in practice that the tobacco capsule according to the invention can be used or used at least twice by turning it in the water pipe.

Schließlich wird auch eine Wasserpfeife beansprucht, die eine erfindungsgemäße Tabakkapsel aufweist.Finally, a water pipe is also claimed which has a tobacco capsule according to the invention.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel ist es möglich, durch die Vorkonfektionierung immer gleichbleibende und gewünschte Tabakmengen pro Kapsel zu gewährleisten. Darüber hinaus verkürzt sich die Vorbereitungszeit des Tabaks durch das Abziehen der beiden Dichtungen, Platzieren der Kapsel in die dafür vorgesehene Tabakkapselaufnahme erheblich, wobei durch das Drehen der Tabakkapsel nahezu die gesamte Menge des sich in der Kapsel befindenden Tabaks tatsächlich verbraucht werden kann, sodass die sonst üblichen größeren Verluste (30 Vol.%) hiermit wegfallen. Schließlich spart sich der private Verbraucher auch den ansonsten gegebenen Zwang dahingehend, bei verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen entsprechend große Abnahmemengen zu kaufen, sodass auch bei mehreren Geschmacksrichtungen die relativ kleinen Tabakmengen je Tabakkapsel auch in diesem Sinne vorteilhaft sind. Letztendlich ist auch das gesamte Handling mit dem Tabak ein wesentlich sauberer und hygienischerer, da lediglich die beiden Dichtungen abgezogen werden müssen, um dann die jeweilige Tabakkapsel in der Wasserpfeife zu applizieren.With the water pipe tobacco capsule according to the invention, it is possible to always ensure constant and desired amounts of tobacco per capsule due to the pre-assembly. In addition, the preparation time of the tobacco is significantly reduced by removing the two seals, placing the capsule in the tobacco capsule holder provided for this purpose, whereby almost the entire amount of tobacco in the capsule can actually be used by turning the tobacco capsule, so that the otherwise the usual larger losses (30% by volume) are hereby omitted. Finally, the private consumer also saves the otherwise existing compulsion to buy correspondingly large quantities for different flavors, so that even with several flavors the relatively small tobacco quantities per tobacco capsule are also advantageous in this sense. Ultimately, the entire handling of the tobacco is much cleaner and More hygienic, as only the two seals have to be removed in order to then apply the respective tobacco capsule in the water pipe.

In Figur 1 ist ein aus dem Stand der Technik, insbesondere aus US 9,433,241 B2 , bekannter Aufbau einer Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel aufgezeigt, wobei zu erkennen ist, dass diese obere Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen 9 an deren oberer Außenoberfläche 1 und untere Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen 9 an deren unterer Außenoberfläche 2 aufweist, sodass ein sich in einer im Inneren der Kapsel befindender Tabak bei entsprechender Erhitzung in einer Wasserpfeife durch beispielsweise und insbesondere glühende Kohlen, die sich oberhalb dieser Kapsel beispielsweise und insbesondere in einer entsprechenden Schale befinden, derart erhitzt wird, dass durch ein Ansaugen mittels eines Schlauches ein Unterdruck unterhalb der Kapsel erzeugt wird, sodass die einströmende erhitzte Luft in der Gasdurchtrittsrichtung G1 in die Kapsel strömt und dabei den sich in dieser Kapsel befindende Tabak T glimmend verbrennt, sich dabei entsprechender Tabakrauch bildet, der dann durch den Unterdruck in die Gasdurchtrittsrichtung G1 nach unten in Richtung Wassertabakrauchdurchtrittseinheit, Saugschlauch und Mundstück am Ende beim Verbraucher ankommend inhaliert wird.In figure 1 is a prior art, in particular US 9,433,241 B2 , Known structure of a hookah tobacco capsule is shown, whereby it can be seen that this has upper gas passage openings 9 on its upper outer surface 1 and lower gas passage openings 9 on its lower outer surface 2, so that a tobacco located in the interior of the capsule when heated accordingly in a water pipe by, for example, and in particular glowing coals, which are located above this capsule, for example and in particular in a corresponding shell, is heated in such a way that suction by means of a hose creates a negative pressure below the capsule, so that the heated air flowing in in the gas passage direction G1 in the capsule flows and the tobacco T in this capsule burns smoldering, forming corresponding tobacco smoke, which is then inhaled by the negative pressure in the gas passage direction G1 downwards in the direction of the water tobacco smoke passage unit, suction hose and mouthpiece, arriving at the consumer at the end.

Bei dieser aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Ausführungsform treten die Probleme des unvollständigen Tabakabbrandes auf neben der hohen Kontamination des Tabaks mit der entstehenden Tabakasche, die dann zu erheblichen sensorischen Irritationen führen kann.In this embodiment, which is known from the prior art, the problems of incomplete tobacco combustion occur in addition to the high level of contamination of the tobacco with the tobacco ash that is produced, which can then lead to considerable sensory irritation.

Eine erste aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Ausführungsform einer Tabackapsel ist in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigt, wobei in Figur 2 die Gasdurchtrittsöffnungen 9 vor dem Einsatz jeweils mit einer entfernbaren Dichtung 10, beispielsweise und insbesondere in Form einer abziehbaren Kunststofffolie, versehen sind, wobei erfindungsgemäß im Inneren durch Anordnung eines Tabackompartimentierungselementes 3 zwei Tabakkompartimente 4 und 5 (oberes und unteres Tabakkompartiment) entstehen, sodass nach Abziehen der entsprechenden Dichtungen 10 und Applizieren der erfindungsgemäßen Tabackapsel in einer Wasserpfeife unterhalb der oben genannten Heizeinheit (meistens mit glühenden Kohlen) eine entsprechende tabakverbrauchende Applikation stattfinden kann. Ein erheblicher Vorteil ist hierbei, dass nach einer ersten verbrauchenden Applikation mit einer Gasdurchtrittsrichtung G1 durch Wenden der erfindungsgemäßen Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel eine zweite Applikation ermöglicht wird mit einer entsprechenden Gasdurchtrittsrichtung G2, die entgegengesetzt zur Gasdurchtrittsrichtung G1 ist. Durch die zweite Applikation und die saubere Trennung der beiden Kompartimente zueinander und des sich dort befindenden Tabaks T, findet somit zweimal ein nahezu vollständiger, glimmender Abbrand des jeweiligen Tabaks im entsprechenden Tabakkompartiment 4 oder 5 statt und darüber hinaus ein Anheften der entstehenden Tabakasche am Rest des sich im jeweiligen Tabakkompartiment 4 oder 5 befindenden Tabaks, sodass dadurch weniger sensorische Irritationen auftreten. Der Gaszug als solcher ist gewährleistet dadurch, dass das Tabakkompartimentierungselement 3 rostartig ausgestaltet ist und sinnfälligerweise die Dimensionierungen der Öffnungen des rostartig ausgestalteten Tabakkompartimentierungselementes 3 derart dimensioniert sind, dass die Tabakkrumen nicht ohne weiteres durch diese Öffnungen fallen können, um sowohl einen Gasdurchtritt zu ermöglichen als auch zum größten Teil zu verhindern, dass Tabak und insbesondere Tabakasche unkontrolliert in das andere Kompartiment fällt.A first known from the prior art embodiment of a tobacco capsule is in the figures 2 and 3 shown where in figure 2 the gas passage openings 9 are each provided with a removable seal 10 before use, for example and in particular in the form of a removable plastic film, with the invention in the interior by arranging a tobacco compartment 3 two tobacco compartments 4 and 5 (upper and lower tobacco compartment) are created, so that after removing the corresponding seals 10 and applying the tobacco capsule according to the invention in a water pipe below the above-mentioned heating unit (usually with glowing coals), a corresponding tobacco-consuming application can take place. A significant advantage here is that after a first consuming application with a gas passage direction G1 by turning the waterpipe tobacco capsule according to the invention, a second application is made possible with a corresponding gas passage direction G2, which is opposite to the gas passage direction G1. Due to the second application and the clean separation of the two compartments from each other and the tobacco T located there, an almost complete, smoldering combustion of the respective tobacco takes place twice in the corresponding tobacco compartment 4 or 5 and, in addition, the resulting tobacco ash is attached to the rest of the tobacco located in the respective tobacco compartment 4 or 5, so that less sensory irritation occurs as a result. The gas flue as such is ensured by the fact that the tobacco compartmentation element 3 is designed like a grate and the dimensions of the openings of the tobacco compartmentation element 3 designed like a grate are obviously dimensioned in such a way that the tobacco crumbs cannot easily fall through these openings, in order to allow gas to pass through as well largely to prevent tobacco, and particularly tobacco ash, from falling uncontrolled into the other compartment.

In Figur 4 ist eine erste Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel dargestellt, bei der zwei Tabakkompartimentierungselemente 3 und 3' insgesamt drei Tabakkompartimente 4, 5 und 6 bilden, wobei in den Tabakkompartimenten 4 und 6 Tabak angeordnet ist, während im mittleren Tabakkompartiment 5 nichts weiter angeordnet ist oder aber wie in Figur 5 eine Tabakfiltereinheit, insbesondere und beispielsweise in Form von einer Granulen- oder Perlenschüttung oder einer Kartusche, sodass der Ausführungsform in Figur 4 dann durch entsprechende Dimensionierungen durch den Hohlraum, also durch das Tabakkompartiment 5, eine zusätzliche dynamische und thermische Trennung der befüllten Tabakkompartimente 4 und 6 bewerkstelligt oder aber eine entsprechend partielle Filterung von sich im Tabakrauch befindenden Giftstoffen realisiert werden kann (zweite Ausführungsform) (siehe Figur 5).In figure 4 shows a first embodiment of the water pipe tobacco capsule according to the invention, in which two tobacco compartmentation elements 3 and 3' form a total of three tobacco compartments 4, 5 and 6, with tobacco being arranged in the tobacco compartments 4 and 6, while tobacco is in the middle compartment 5 nothing further is arranged or as in figure 5 a tobacco filter unit, in particular and for example in the form of a granule or bead bed or a cartridge, so that the embodiment in figure 4 then by appropriate dimensioning through the cavity, i.e. through the tobacco compartment 5, an additional dynamic and thermal separation of the filled tobacco compartments 4 and 6 can be achieved or a corresponding partial filtering of toxins in the tobacco smoke can be implemented (second embodiment) (see figure 5 ).

In Figur 6 wird eine dritte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Tabakkapsel dargestellt, bei der mittels dreier Tabakkompartimentierungselementen 3, 3' und 3", die sämtlich rostartig ausgebildet sind, insgesamt vier Tabakkompartimente 4, 5, 6 und 7 realisiert werden, wobei in diesem Fall die inneren Tabackompartimente 5 und 6 mit Tabak gefüllt sind, während die äußeren Tabackompartimente 4 und 7 leer sind, um eine gewisse thermische Barriere zu bilden, damit der Tabak eher langsam glimmend verbrennt, je nach Dimensionierung der entsprechenden Wasserpfeifentabakkapsel.In figure 6 a third embodiment of the tobacco capsule according to the invention is shown, in which a total of four tobacco compartments 4, 5, 6 and 7 are realized by means of three tobacco compartmentation elements 3, 3' and 3", all of which are designed like a grate, with the inner tobacco compartments 5 and 6 are filled with tobacco, while the outer tobacco compartments 4 and 7 are empty in order to form a certain thermal barrier so that the tobacco burns rather slowly smoldering, depending on the dimensioning of the corresponding water pipe tobacco capsule.

Bei einer vierten Ausführungsform, die in Figur 7 gezeigt ist, werden durch insgesamt vier Tabakkompartimentierungselemente 3, 3', 3" und 3‴, die sämtlich rostartig ausgebildet sind, insgesamt fünf Tabakkompartimente 4, 5, 6, 7 und 8 gebildet, wobei die Tabakkompartimente 5 und 7 jeweils Tabak enthalten, während die Tabakkompartimente 4, 6 und 8 jeweils leer sind, wobei es jedoch auch hier möglich ist, dass das eine oder andere leere Tabakkompartiment mit einer entsprechenden Tabakrauchfiltereinheit bestückt ist.In a fourth embodiment, shown in figure 7 is shown, a total of five tobacco compartments 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are formed by a total of four tobacco compartmentation elements 3, 3', 3" and 3‴, all of which are rust-like, with the tobacco compartments 5 and 7 each containing tobacco, while the tobacco compartments 4, 6 and 8 are each empty, although it is also possible here that one or the other empty tobacco compartment is equipped with a corresponding tobacco smoke filter unit.

In Figur 9 ist der schematische Aufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Wasserpfeife dargestellt, wobei nach einer Heizeinheit 20 , insbesondere einer Kohlenglimmeinheit, beispielsweise und insbesondere in Form einer Kohlen aufnehmenden Schale, eine Tabakkapselaufnahme 21 folgt, die ggf. eine Tabakrauchfiltereinheit 12 aufweist, wobei im Anschluss daran eine Wassertabakrauchdurchtrittseinheit 22 sich anschließt, die ggf. wiederum mit einer Tabakrauchfiltereinheit 12 ausgestattet ist. Im Anschluss daran folgt eine Saugschlauchanschlusseinheit 23, die ggf. mit einer Tabakrauchfiltereinheit 12 ausgestattet ist, wobei sich im Anschluss daran ein Saugschlauch 24 anschließt, der ggf. wiederum mit einer Tabakrauchfiltereinheit 12 ausgestattet ist, um am Ende mit einem Mundstück 25 abzuschließen, das ggf. wiederum mit einer Tabakrauchfiltereinheit 12 ausgestattet ist.In figure 9 shows the schematic structure of a water pipe according to the invention, wherein after a heating unit 20, in particular a coal glow unit, for example and in particular in the form of a coal-receiving Shell, a tobacco capsule receptacle 21 follows, which may have a tobacco smoke filter unit 12, which is followed by a water tobacco smoke passage unit 22, which may in turn be equipped with a tobacco smoke filter unit 12. This is followed by a suction hose connection unit 23, which may be equipped with a tobacco smoke filter unit 12, followed by a suction hose 24, which may in turn be equipped with a tobacco smoke filter unit 12, terminating at the end with a mouthpiece 25, which may be in turn is equipped with a tobacco smoke filter unit 12 .
