Definitions

  • the present invention relates to tobacco devices and tobacco bowls.

  • the capsule supports a quantity of smokable material, while the apertures on the upper and lower surfaces permit airflow through the capsule.
  • Use of this type of capsule eliminates the need for the user to select the amount of tobacco to be smoked, and further prevents manually packing of the hookah bowl.
  • the user simply places the capsule into a hookah bowl and places coals thereover, eliminating much of the preparation work associated with smoking from a hookah.
  • the apertured lower surface of the capsule eliminates the need for a hookah bowl itself to have a filter screen therein for proper operation.
  • a new hookah bowl is desired that is specifically suited for use with a prepackaged tobacco capsule as described above, wherein the efficiency of the capsule design is maximized and the smoking experience is not hindered in any way.
  • the present invention is presented as a new hookah bowl structure that is specifically suited for use with prepackaged tobacco capsules. Unlike traditional hookah bowls, the present invention provides a hookah bowl that does not have a screen or apertured surface within the bowl interior.

  • the prepackaged tobacco capsule provides the apertures necessary for proper airflow through the tobacco and filtering thereof. Moreover, the air tight seal around the rim of the bowl prevents airflow from bypassing the capsule when the hookah is drawn upon.
  • the upper portion of the hookah bowl is configured to support the body of the capsule using an inward bulge with a plurality of optional depressions therealong. The depressions accommodate the expansion of the capsule while the increased thickness of the bulge maintains the capsule in the bowl as the upper rim seals against the capsule flange. Overall, the hookah bowl of the invention narrows from its upper end to its lower end and allows the free flow of smoke therethrough.
  • the standard hookah bowl in the art comprises a hollow bowl shape having upwardly extending sidewalls, a body portion extending downward therefrom, and an apertured surface extending across the bowl upper.
  • This surface is used to place a quantity of smokable material directly thereonto, whereafter a sheet of foil material is placed over the bowl upper and the smokable material, and then folded over the upper edge of the bowl upper.
  • This configuration is well known in the art of smoking structures and tobacco hookahs.
  • the present invention presents a new hookah bowl that has no interior surfaces and presents no restrictions between the bowl upper and the lower portion thereof.
  • the interior of the bowl is hollow and allows the free flow of air and smoke therethrough, wherein the upper portion of the bowl is adapted to support a tobacco capsule as opposed to hand-packed tobacco.
  • the Lee device contemplates the use of a screen element below the bowl, while the Roesling device is an apparatus supporting a tobacco bowl and a reservoir of fluid therein to filter the smoke emanating from the tobacco.
  • These devices fail to contemplate a tobacco bowl suitable for use with a hookah pipe, and further fail to contemplate a bowl with an open channel therethrough that is devoid of filter screens or obstructions.
  • the Roesling and Lee devices also fail to provide a bowl structure suitable or supporting a prepackaged capsule of smokable tobacco as herein disclosed.

Similar to the traditional hookah bowls in the art, the Zoumut device

This tapering can be achieved either by the bulge region 13 having a uniform thickness along its vertical extent, or a non-uniform thickness along its vertical extent. It will be appreciated, however, that the design of the inner surface 17 will largely be dictated by the capsule to be placed therein.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un bol de narguilé structuré pour accueillir une capsule de tabac préemballé. Le bol de narguilé comporte une extrémité supérieure ouverte (11), une partie centrale creuse (21) et une extrémité inférieure étroite (31). L'extrémité supérieure (11) comporte une structure de bol arrondie possédant des parois latérales (16) s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir de la partie centrale (21), un rebord supérieur (12) et une région de renflement intérieure (13) s'étendant vers l'intérieur à partir du rebord (12). La partie centrale (21) comporte un canal ouvert dépourvu de tamis et s'étendant entre la structure de bol arrondie vers l'extrémité inférieure pour faire circuler l'air et la fumée provenant d'une capsule accueillie dans la structure de bol. Le renflement intérieur (13) de la structure de bol est adapté à établir un joint étanche autour d'une capsule de tabac préemballé (100) quand la capsule est positionnée dans l'extrémité supérieure ouverte (11), tandis que le bord intérieur (14) peut en outre comporter une pluralité de creux (15) le long de ce dernier qui facilitent la dilatation d'un corps de capsule en train d'être fumée.
