Description

Smoking pipe for a smokable stimulant '

The invention relates to a smoking pipe for a smokable beverage, comprising a pipe bowl, a hollow pipe body and at least one mouthpiece, wherein the bowl and the at least one mouthpiece are each fluidly connectable to the pipe body.

From the state of the art water pipes and so-called bongs are known. A disadvantage of the known from the prior art pipes is the need to form a suppression at a first train on the mouthpiece and sucked from outside the pipe nkörpers sucked over a smoldering, smokable stimulant into the pipe body into order there with another Train to be consumed as edible smoke through the mouthpiece.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a whistle of the type mentioned, which overcomes this disadvantage and can be used more easily.

According to the invention the object is achieved in that the size of one of the

Pipe body enclosed space is changeable by a movable

Wall portion of the pipe body from a first position in at least one further position is movable.

Advantageously, an enlargement can be formed by enlarging the space, which causes an intake of air from outside the pipe body over the pipe bowl. This eliminates the need for a first pull of a smoker to introduce edible smoke into the pipe body. By further movement of the wall portion back to the starting position, a reduction of the space can be effected so that the edible smoke through the mouthpiece can escape from the pipe and consumed. Conveniently, the movable wall portion is arranged movably in a preferably cylindrical guide portion of the pipe body. Advantageously, the

Wall section performed at a change in volume of the room, so that tilting and / or tilting, which can cause a sticking of the wall portion, is prevented. Preferably, the movable wall portion is formed as a Vollyzlinder. Advantageously, a Vollyzlinder is particularly stable and gas-tight.

In one embodiment of the invention, a sealing surface is formed between the movable wall portion and the guide portion of the pipe body. As a result, during a movement of the wall section no gas, smoke and / or air between the

Wall section and the guide section or exit. Advantageously, a formation of a negative pressure in the pipe body at an enlargement of the space and a formation of an overpressure in the pipe body with a reduction of the space is made possible so that consumable smoke can be formed and discharged through the mouthpiece.

If the movable wall section is designed as a solid cylinder, which is preferably formed from a gas-tight material, advantageously only a single sealing surface is formed between the wall section and the guide section. An undesirable escape of gas, smoke and / or air is prevented and a service life of the pipe is increased.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the movable wall section is at least partially coated on a side surface facing the guide section of the pipe body and / or the guide section of the pipe body is provided with a coating, preferably on an inner side. Advantageously, for example by a sliding layer, a particularly good sliding of the wall portion in the guide portion can be effected. Use of the whistle requires so only a very small amount of force. It is also conceivable that the coating improves a seal of the pipe body, in particular of the guide section. Particularly advantageous is the Beschich tion of the wall portion, since then not the entire guide portion must be coated, but only the sealing surface forming a contact surface of the wall portion. Furthermore, markings may be attached to the guide section, which is a

Show pipe users which volume of pipe body was enlarged.

Conveniently, between the movable wall portion and the

Guide portion of the pipe body provided a sealant. Advantageously, a seal can be improved. It is conceivable that the sealant as a coating or Coating is formed and causes both a better seal and a particularly easy sliding of the wall portion in the guide portion.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the sealing means comprises at least one sealing ring.

In one embodiment of the invention, the movable wall portion of the same material as the pipe nkörper, another material than the pipe body and / or formed in several parts. The pipe body could be formed of glass and the movable wall portion of a plastic, such as a thermoset or thermoplastic.

It is also conceivable that the movable wall section is formed from a plastic and a surface of the wall section facing a space of the pipe body is coated or clad with a glass and / or a ceramic material.

Conveniently, the movable wall portion is provided with an additional weight and / or of a material having a high density, in particular lead, iron and / or a lead or iron alloy formed. Thereby, a movement of the wall section from an end position in the direction of a starting position by the weight and / or the additional weight can be effected. An engagement of a pipe smoker to move the wall section to the starting position is not required. It is conceivable that by a suitable choice of the additional weight, a volume flow of a consumable smoke, which emerges through a mouthpiece of the pipe, is adjustable. The higher the weight, the higher the volume flow. This can be achieved a special smoking experience.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a connecting channel is provided, which fluidly connects the mouthpiece with the pipe body and has a means for opening and locking the channel, preferably a valve. Advantageously, the opening and locking means can be closed at an enlargement of the enclosed space of a pipe body, so that only air from outside the pipe can flow over a provided with a smoldering smokable stimulant pipe bowl into the pipe. This causes a particularly good filling of the pipe body with consumable smoke and prevents the intake of outside air through the mouthpiece. The valve is as

Ball valve or preferably check valve formed. Advantageously requires one

Check valve no manual opening or closing. This allows a pipe to be enjoyed without interruption. In one embodiment of the invention, the movable wall section lies in one

End position, in which no further enlargement of the space enclosed by the pipe body space can be more effected against an end stop. The end stop may be formed by an underside of a guide member mounted in a guide portion of the whistle. The wall portion is movably disposed in the guide portion and is in the end position with a side facing away from the space enclosed by a pipe body, against the end stop. The guide element is advantageously provided with a through-passage through which air can escape during movement of the wall section in the direction of the end position or air can be drawn in when moving back into an initial position.

In another embodiment of the invention, the movable wall portion on a connecting part, the piece for connecting the movable wall portion with a handle or a drive device is set up. Advantageously, the wall section can be moved by operation of the handle or by the drive means at a certain speed in the desired position and moved back out of this. Preferably, the connecting part is rod-shaped, fully or hollow cylindrical.

Expediently, a drive device is provided, which in particular comprises a controllable and preferably electric drive, and which is set up to move the movable wall section from the first to the further position. It is understood that the drive means can control each position of the wall portion, which is located between a starting position and an end position in which no further enlargement of the space is more possible. Furthermore, a control unit may be provided, which moves the wall section at certain times in certain positions. As a result, use of the whistle can be automated. It is also conceivable that the control unit is also arranged to open or close a valve, which is arranged in a connec tion channel between a mouthpiece and a bowl, arranged.

In a further embodiment of the invention, a lower portion of the pipe body for receiving a liquid, preferably water, set up, wherein a

Connecting channel, which connects the pipe head fluidly with the pipe body, is provided for immersion in the liquid. Consumable smoke at one

Aspiration of air through a pipe bowl with smoldering, consumable smoke in the Pipe body formed, takes place a passage through the liquid instead ("bubbling"), in which the smoke is cooled down to a consumption temperature.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, in a pipe body facing the end of the preferably cylindrical guide portion at least one parallel to a cylinder axis extending groove in an inner side of the

Introduced guide section. The groove forms, in an initial position of the wall portion, a bypass passage through which a space enclosed by the pipe body is fluidly connected to a space outside the pipe body. Through this bypass channel, which is immediately upon movement of the wall portion out of a starting position, in which no further reduction of the space enclosed by the pipe body space is possible, closed, smoke collected in the pipe body can be sucked by a smoker and removed from the pipe body Although no further reduction of the space enclosed by the pipe body space is more possible.

Advantageously, the pipe body can be completely emptied by a smoker, creating a special smoking experience is possible.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings relating to the exemplary embodiments. Show it:

A in Fig. 1 a shown in cross section pipe (1), which is formed in this embodiment as a water pipe, has a hollow pipe body formed from glass (2) and a mouthpiece (3) and a bowl (4), wherein the mouthpiece (3) for drawing in consumption smoke by a pipe smoker and the pipe bowl (4) for receiving a smoldering, smokable stimulant (5) is provided. The mouthpiece (3) is fluidly connected to the pipe body (2) through a connecting channel (6) formed as a metallic tube and passing through an opening (7) in the pipe body (2). The pipe bowl (4) is through a

Connecting channel (8), which is formed as a glass tube, and which passes through an opening (9) in the pipe body (2), fluidly connected to the pipe body (2).

A space (10) enclosed by the pipe body (2) is defined by an inner surface (11) of the pipe body (2), a liquid level (12) of a non-combustible liquid (13), usually water, in the pipe body (2) a bottom (14) of a fully cylindrical in this embodiment, movable wall portion (15) limited. The movable wall portion (15) is arranged in a cylindrical guide portion (16) of the pipe body (2) along the cylinder axis in the direction of a double arrow (22) shown in Fig. 1 movable. Between an outer side (17) of the movable Wandab section (15) and an inner side facing this (18) of the guide portion (16) a gas-tight sealing surface is formed.

To move the wall section (15), a handle (19) is provided, which is detachably connected to the wall section (15) by a connecting rod (20). In an upper portion of the guide portion (16), a guide member (21) in the pipe body (2) is introduced, which causes a guide of the connecting rod (20) and is releasably inserted into the guide portion (16). As a result, the whistle (1) can be disassembled in a simple manner for cleaning. Furthermore, in the guide element (21) of a pipe (1) according to the invention, a vertical through-hole, not shown in FIG. 1a, is provided. It is also conceivable that between guide element (21) and

Connecting rod (20) an air passage is formed. As a result, air, the movement of the wall portion (15) between the guide element (21) and the

Wall section (15) is included, escape or be sucked from outside the pipe (19.

A pipe smoker can use the pipe (1) by introducing into the pipe bowl (4) the smoldering beverage (5), for example tobacco, and the movable wall section (15) from a starting position shown in FIG. 1a by pulling on the handle (19) is moved upward in the direction of the double arrow (22) in a further, an enlargement of the pipe body (2) enclosed space (10) causing position. Conceivable each position between the starting position and an end position in which no further enlargement of the space (10) is possible. In the end position shown in Fig. Lb, the movable wall portion (15) with a the space (10) facing away from an end stop (23), which faces from one of the space (10) side of the

Guide element (21) is formed.

The fact that the mouthpiece (3) is either closed by a finger of the smoker, or locked in the tube (6) valve (24) locks, is in the

Enlarging the space (10) formed a suppression, so that air from outside of the pipe body (2) on the smoldering stimulant (5) is sucked into the bowl (4) and accumulates as edible smoke in the pipe body (2). The liquid (13) is used in this embodiment, the cooling of the edible smoke, the suction of the air from outside the pipe (1) by contact with the smoldering

Stimulant (5) is formed. When the valve (24) is opened or the finger is removed, then the handle (19) is moved downwards in the direction of the double arrow (22) and sucked on the mouthpiece (3), the edible smoke passes through the tube (6) and the mouthpiece (3) in the direction of the arrow (25) from the whistle (1) and can be consumed.

It is also conceivable that a movable wall section (15) and / or a handle (19) is or are provided with an additional weight and / or is formed from a material having a high density, so that movement of the wall section (FIG. 15) from an end position back to a starting position due to a weight force is possible. Manual movement of the wall section (15) back to the starting position

Operation of the handle (19) would not be required.

Although in this example a nonflammable liquid (13) is provided in the whistle (1) into which the tube (8) dips, this is not mandatory. If no cooling is desired or required, can be dispensed with a filling of the whistle (1) with the liquid (13). In this case, however, a valve must be introduced into the tube (8), which is preferably designed as a check valve.

It is also conceivable that in the tube (8) a not shown in Fig. 1 valve is introduced, which is opened at an enlargement of the space (10) and closed at a reduction. Advantageously, the edible smoke through the

Mouthpiece (3) through the pipe (1) emerge.
