Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable heating device, especially for a hookah / water pipe.
- Hookahs are waterpipes that are used to smoke specially made tobacco mixtures that come in a wide variety of flavors. They usually work by passing charcoal-heated air through the tobacco mixture and ultimately through a water-filled chamber. A user then inhales the smoke through a tube and mouthpiece.
- charcoal used to heat hookah tobacco may pose additional health risks (beyond the hazardous and addictive chemicals released from the tobacco), since this combustion process produces dangerous substances such as carbon monoxide, metals, and other chemicals.
- FIG. 1A is a prior art diagram of a hookah / water pipe 10.
- the hookah is comprised of the following elements:
- a bowl 12 holds the tobacco or smoking preparation T.
- a bowl stem 14 is the part of the stem that attaches to the bowl.
- a coal tray 16 is a resting place for lit coals and also catches fallen ash.
- a stem 18 connects the bowl, base, and hose together.
- a hose 20 is a long flexible piece of hollow tubing.
- a hose connector and hose port 22 is also called a hose adaptor and is the element where the hose is inserted.
- the hose connector is the part of the hose that connects into the hose port.
- a stem heart 24 is the bulky section of the stem that connects to the base and includes the hose port and release valve.
