Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water pipe with a housing in which a container to be filled with a liquid medium and provided with at least one suction connection and a heating chamber connected to the latter via a suction pipe are integrated, the heating chamber being a receptacle for holding a smoke medium serving capsule.
  • a container to be filled with a liquid medium and provided with at least one suction connection and a heating chamber connected to the latter via a suction pipe are integrated, the heating chamber being a receptacle for holding a smoke medium serving capsule.
  • hookahs or hookahs water pipes originally come from the oriental region. Last but not least, they enjoy as
  • Hookah has a container to be partially filled with water or another liquid medium. Sucking from a mouthpiece causes suppression in this container. A piece of smoke also protrudes into the water, which has a head part at its upper end for receiving tobacco, which is heated with coal lying on it. The mixture of air, steam and smoke particles created when the tobacco is heated is then drawn in by the smoker. It is obvious that there is carbon monoxide poisoning due to heating by red-hot coal
  • the present invention therefore has the task of creating a hookah which is characterized by high tightness and thus effectiveness for the smoking experience.
  • Electronics unit receiving housing part are detachably connected to each other and that a valve is provided in the region of the mouth of the suction pipe in the container.
  • the housing of the hookah essentially consists of the container as the first housing part, the second housing part receiving the electronics such as the suction pipe and the third housing part receiving the heating chamber for the capsule, expediently in the order mentioned from top to bottom.
  • the container and the housing part receiving the electronics unit can be detached from one another and additionally by an improved one
  • valve is preferably arranged centrally and, if necessary, a part of it projects into the interior of the container. It has already been mentioned that the container is located above the housing part receiving the electronics unit. The proposal that the valve sits precisely on the suction pipe protruding upward from the housing part is understood in this sense.
  • the suction pipe which opens into the heating chamber with its lower end, and which the electronics unit
  • suction pipe opens into the bottom of the container from below, the bottom being so massive that a stable bearing for the valve and the end of the pipe is formed.
  • the suction pipe is used for the fastening plate centrally positioned in the cavity of the otherwise comparatively solid floor.
  • suction pipe and the valve are arranged in the longitudinal axis of the hookah, so that the suction pipe when assembling the container and housing z. B. after cleaning, finds its position directly in the valve.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the container and the housing part receiving the electronics are connected to one another at the edges, this is then supplemented by the precise fit between the top of the suction pipe and the valve.
  • the container is placed on the housing part receiving the electronics unit
  • the tank, housing, intake manifold and valve are synchronized in such a way that there is inevitably a firm external connection such as the secure seat of the valve.
  • the container closes with a lid. It is expedient if the container has an inwardly projecting collar at its upper end and that a sealant is integrated in the lid on its underside facing the collar.
  • An O-ring is preferably considered, so that a seal in the
  • the cone is of crucial importance with regard to the precise fit. This allows a particularly targeted heat transfer by a precisely fitting seat between the wall of the receptacle that laterally encompasses the capsule and the capsule itself. H. from the direction of the heating chamber towards the capsule.
  • a particularly advantageous variant for such a precisely fitting seat provides that the side wall of the receptacle tapers conically in the direction of the interior of the heating chamber, the cone having an angle of approximately 5 ° to 10 °, preferably approximately 7 °.
  • the receptacle has on its outside a closing ring which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the housing and into which the receptacle for the capsule is integrated, i.e. the closing ring or heating chamber are arranged and designed to correspond to one another in such a way that End ring has a central opening in which the capsule sits in the receptacle.
  • the end ring also forms the upper or lower end of the housing or the heating chamber.
  • the end ring has the function of acting as a stop for one
  • the end ring does not ensure that the capsule is seated in the heating chamber lastly, in that the capsule has a collar with which it strikes against the end ring.
  • the fact that the mechanism can be operated from outside the heating chamber aims in the same direction, namely to create a sufficient distance between the operator's hand and the heating chamber or the capsule located therein.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the suction pipe is mounted displaceably in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
  • This is a particularly optimal solution for such a mechanism in that the suction pipe, which is present anyway, has the additional function of serving as a mechanism for removing the capsules. This is from a completely harmless distance in relation to the high temperature of the used capsules in the heating chamber.
  • the suction pipe is displaceably supported against the force of a spring, so that the suction pipe returns to its starting position after use to remove the capsule and the play of the suction pipe during operation is limited.
  • the invention is particularly characterized in that a
  • Water pipe is created with which an optimal total air supply from the capsule to the rejection of air through the mouthpiece is guaranteed. This is thanks to a special connection between the water tank and the housing of the shisha, specifically the central housing part that houses the electronics. By reliably transporting the air between the heating chamber and the central one
  • Housing part with electronics and water tank via the suction pipe ensures that no air can escape there, because when assembling or
  • the suction pipe opens into the container, specifically in its hollow base with a central fastening plate, which serves to mount the suction pipe in this area of the hookah.
  • FIG. 1 shows a hookah in top view
  • FIG. 2 shows a section to the hookah according to FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through the intake pipe mouth
  • Figure 4 shows a container and a receiving the electronics unit

  • the container 3 is closed at the top by the cover 23.
  • a suction hose 55 is connected with its integral end to the connecting piece 56 as part of the cover 23 and is provided with an exchangeable mouthpiece 57 at the other end.
  • Several hoses can be connected.
  • the water level for the water held in the container 3 is designated with 58, especially since the water is only partially filled
