Description

Hookah accessory

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a floating accessory for hookah (water pipe, shisha, hookah ...). It allows to extend its use to other situations, increasing the versatility of this utensil.

STATE OF THE ART

The hookah, water pipe, shisha or hookah is a device for tobacco consumption that starts from a base that is filled with water, with a submerged tube whose upper end reaches an upper bowl where the tobacco is placed, a grid ( perforated aluminum foil, for example) and an ember. A mouthpiece is connected above the water, so that when you breathe in through the mouthpiece, air is drawn through the tube, the passage of tobacco smoke into the water and from there to the mouthpiece.

This type of device can be bought or rented in many places (tea shops, bars.) As a form of social relationship. However, it must always be supported on a stable floor or surface to prevent it from tipping over, with the risk of casting the embers on a person or flammable item.

If the user wants to use his hookah in the water (a private or public pool or beach) he has to place it on the edge and make movements to it. Therefore, it is more annoying to share. Also, being in a strange position (higher than usual), it is easy for the tip to occur with the problems that it entails.

The applicant, after conducting a thorough patent study, does not know of any device similar to the invention or that allows solving these problems. US8387624 discloses an apparatus for hanging a hookah, so it reduces the problem of tipping, but it cannot be installed on a pscna or paya, which do not have ec o. Vuga an anti-tip stand applicable on a table.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a hookah accessory according to claim 1. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The hookah accessory comprises a float or floating system with a central hole, inside which a support is arranged. The support is, or at least its base is, in a different plane than the float, which in use defines the lower position. The support is preferably designed to allow contact with the water in the pool or beach and also evacuate any water that enters. This water is used to cool the base of the hookah. For this reason, it is preferably made of a grid of physically and chemically resistant material. The float or floating system can be inflatable, hollow or made of a material less dense than water.

This cooling with the water from the pool or beach, below ambient temperature, produces an additional improvement in the effect of the hookah by modifying the absorption of smoke and its substances by the water.

The central hole can be closed by two or more elastic bands or tapes that close the central hole. Alternatively, it may have a closure (for example made of elastic fabric) that covers its entire surface and includes a practicable opening for the passage of the hookah. This opening can be closed using brackets, Velcro (registered trademark) or another method.

The upper surface of the float preferably comprises cavities, around the central hole, generally midway between the hole or the edge where users can place their personal items (keys, money, rings, ..) or accessories (tobacco, .. ). Some of these cavities may have an airtight lid that produces a tight seal, protecting their contents from water.

Other variants can be seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention will be briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The accessory shown in figure 1 comprises a float or floating system (1), which in this case has been represented as annular, with a central hole (2), inside which a support (3) is arranged, the base of which is on the a different plane of the float (1). In use, the stand base (3) will be placed underneath. As the hookah has its center of gravity in its lower part, as the tank is full of water, this solution is very stable. The support (3) represented is a grate, which is the most suitable solution for combining resistance, cooling with water and evacuation of this when removing the accessory from the water.

The central hole (2) has a diameter suitable for the hookah for which the accessory is designed. Thus, it allows the entry in a tight way, which ensures that it does not move. It is possible to have some fixing element that blocks the hookah when the dimension of the central hole (2) is too large. For example, two or more elastic tapes or bands (4) can be arranged that close the central hole (2). When inserting the hookah, the ribbons or bands (4) are deformed, hugging your neck, and will prevent the waves from affecting the stability of the hookah.

The float (1) can comprise cavities (5), with or without a lid, to place any type of complement (tobacco ...), soft drinks. In case of having a lid, the closure will be hermetic. These cavities (5) are distributed over the upper surface (in use) to be able to be used conveniently.

The tapes or bands (4) can be replaced by a closure of the entire surface of the central hole (2), which has an opening (6) for the passage of the hookah. The opening (6) will have a Velcro type gasket (registered trademark) to block it if desired, or another type of coupling. If the closure covers the central hole (2), it can serve as a floating table for placing not too heavy objects when the hookah is not being used.
