Description

The inventive utility model relates to the device of hookahs. Hookahs are designed for smoking special tobacco and a pleasant pastime.

A hookah is known (see RF patent for utility model No. 1055800, filing date 02/09/2011, publ. 06/27/2011), consisting of a vessel with water, wine or another liquid connected to a smoking bowl by a shaft, the lower end of which is immersed in liquid, above the liquid level, a tube leaves the vessel, at the end of which a cube is fixed, the shaft is a hollow pipe, the upper and lower ends of which are straight and have a common vertical axis, and the main, middle part of the pipe has the form of a spiral or spring, length which is from 1 to 1.5 m.

The reasons for the failure to achieve the technical result indicated below include the construction of a complicated shaft made of stainless steel. As you know, the thermal conductivity and heat capacity of steel is quite high compared to metals such as copper and aluminum or their alloys. When heated to a high temperature, the steel cools slowly. There is a high probability of getting a burn when using a hookah with such a shaft, especially since the shaft is not protected by any additional protective housing. In this case, the cooling rate of smoke to a temperature that excludes burns of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat is sharply reduced. Using such a hookah becomes unsafe.

The traditional construction of a hookah is known (See http://kalyan-club.su).

The hookah consists of elements hermetically interconnected: from the top (outer casing) and the shaft itself, connected to the outer casing. The outer casing is hermetically mounted on the flask, from which smoke for the smoker is discharged through a hose. The hookah has an exhaust ball valve to remove excess smoke. Usually the hookah is equipped with a protective saucer, a protective cap and tongs for coal. The main requirement for a hookah is tightness. The most important thing is the tightness of the connection of the upper part in the form of a shaft and a cup installed on it with the lower part of the hookah in the form of a bulb, as well as the tightness of the hookah with a hose (as well as a hose with a mouthpiece, if it is replaceable). When smoking a hookah, part of the harmful impurities dissolves in water, part condenses on the inner surfaces of the shaft and hose. Smoke passing through water is partially cooled and moistened. The disadvantages of the prototype include high requirements for the selection of tobacco mixtures, limiting their use due to the inability to comply with the temperature regime of the inhaled smoke. When using a wide range of tobacco blends, fairly high temperature smoke flows are formed without the possibility of rapid cooling.

The objective of the claimed utility model is to expand the possibilities of using various types and varieties of tobacco for hookah with the creation of comfortable and safe conditions for their smoking.

The technical result consists in improving the organoleptic properties of inhaled smoke, creating comfortable smoking conditions that exclude the possibility of burning the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, thereby improving safety when using a wide range of types of tobacco.

The specified result of the claimed utility model is achieved by the fact that the hookah, including a flask with liquid, the upper part in the form of a shaft mounted in the flask, a tobacco cup, a flexible hose with a mouthpiece, according to a utility model, additionally contains a smoke cooler made in the form of a detachable tubular container embedded in a hose along the path of tobacco smoke and filled with bags of ice hermetically sealed in them.

The presence of a tubular container allows it to be used for additional cooling of inhaled smoke through ice packs.

Making the container detachable allows you to quickly configure cooling without disassembling the hookah itself and without violating its tightness, only by placing ice packs in the cooler.

The implementation of packages with ice hermetically sealed in them allows you to reuse these packages after the next freezing of the ice that has melted in the packages.

Filling the container with ice packs allows the hot smoke to cool as it flows through the container between the packets and along their walls. Additional cooling of smoke flowing around the surface of ice packs eliminates the possibility of burning the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat.

No technical solutions matching the totality of the essential features of the claimed utility model have been identified, which allows us to conclude that the patentability condition is “novelty”.

The inventive utility model is illustrated by the hookah device diagram.

Figure 1 - General view of the hookah.

Figure 2 is a view of a tubular container with a slit.

The design of the hookah (figure 1) includes the following elements:

- flask 1, which serves as a reservoir for liquid, passing through which the smoke is partially cooled and filtered;

- upper part 2 (or top, mine), through which hot smoke from tobacco passes. The upper part is made in the form of an outer casing, performing a protective role and the role of decoration, and actually the shaft 2 in the form of a tube. Mine 2 is most often made of ordinary light metals or brass and hermetically connected to the outer casing. A quality mine has a wall thickness of at least 3 mm. An important parameter of a mine is its length. If the shaft is short, the smoke will not have time to cool, passing through it. If the shaft is long, it will be difficult to “draw” air through it. The dimensions of the mines range from 20 centimeters to 1 meter.

- cup 3 (or chilim, haggar) - a place to place tobacco. It is carried out sufficiently capacious and deep, has a hole for the passage of smoke into the mine and should be well purged. Cup 3 is made of clay or glazed ceramic. Cup 3 is attached to the top of the hookah above the mine entrance.

- hose 4 (or tube, flexible forelock), which is sealed from an elastic material with a diameter that allows for easy and saturated tightening.

- valve 5, which serves to remove excess smoke from the hookah flask. Its design is such that it should not let outside air into the hookah, but it easily releases smoke. That is, when smoking a hookah with such a valve, you can do both inhale through the hose-mouthpiece and exhale. Smoke should escape easily through the opening in the valve. As a rule, a ball valve is installed in hookahs.

- saucer 6, which is mounted in the upper part of the hookah and is designed to prevent the scattering of ash and coal, the location on it of tongs, glow coal, and a cap. The saucer material is heat-resistant metal.

- mouthpiece 7, as the end of a hose or pipe coming from a hookah. It is performed with a disposable or with a hygienic disposable nozzle made of polymer materials.

- seals 8, used mainly in the joints:

the outer case of the shaft 2 and the bulb 1, the cup for tobacco 3 and the shaft 2, the shaft 2 and the hose 4, and serve to improve the tightness of the hookah. Material - rubber or substitute polymers.

- cooler 9 (figure 1, 2) of inhaled smoke, made in the form of a detachable tubular container with the possibility of hermetically connecting its constituent parts, is built into the hose along the path of movement of tobacco smoke. Parts of the tubular container are made of polymeric materials.

- hermetically sealed packages 10 with ice (figure 2). Bags are made of polymeric materials or thick paper.

The hookah is additionally equipped with a cap, tongs and a basket for coal (not shown in the diagram).

Hookah works as follows.

Water is poured into the bottom of the hookah 1 (flask) so that the shaft 2 protruding from the top of the shaft 2 after connecting the shaft’s outer casing and flask 1 is 2-5 cm immersed in water. Then, the cup 3 is connected to the shaft 2 using a sealing seal 8 After assembling the flask 1 and the shaft 2, a hose 4 and an inhalation smoke cooler 9 made in the form of a detachable tubular container are inserted along the smoke path, while the cooler 9 and the hose 4 are installed sequentially one after another along the path of movement of tobacco smoke using vaniem seals 8. Detachable container cooler 9, consisting of at least two parts, hermetically sealed packages filled with ice 10, and its parts tightly connected to each other and with the hose 4 through the seals 8.

After that, the correct assembly of the hookah is checked - they draw air through the mouthpiece several times 7. The air should be inhaled easily, without much effort, with a characteristic gurgling of water. Then they try to draw in air by closing the smoke hole in the upper part of the hookah (in cup 3) with a finger. If air cannot be inhaled even with effort - everything is fine, if air is gradually drawn in - it is necessary to check the tightness of the connection of the two parts of the hookah 1 and 2 and the tightness of the connection of the hose 4 and cooler 9. If there is an exhaust valve 5, it is necessary to check its operation - when trying to exhale air into the hookah, valve 5 should open and air should exit through it.

After checking the tightness on one of the ledges of the outer casing of the shaft 2 in the upper part put a protective metal plate 6. Next, put on a cup 3 for tobacco (also with an o-ring 8). After installing cup 3, a small amount of tobacco is placed in it using special tweezers - about one teaspoon. The level of tobacco should not be higher than the edge of the cup 3. Tobacco is not laid tightly.

When smoking flavored tobacco varieties, the cup 3 is tightly covered with foil on top, in which holes are made over the entire area for the intake of hot air from coal. Hot coals or a quick-burning extruded charcoal tablet are placed on the foil with tweezers. During burning, sparks can bounce, so if there is a protective cap in the kit, immediately put on the hookah on the hook immediately after setting fire to coal. After the complete burning of coal and the cessation of the emission of harsh smoke, after 10-15 seconds, smoking begins.

Thus, the claimed utility model allows you to create a hookah with improved organoleptic properties of inhaled smoke by using a wide range of tobacco varieties and creating safe, comfortable smoking conditions that exclude the possibility of burning the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Hookahs with additional cooling in the form of a tubular container with ice fulfill all the necessary safety requirements.
