Standardized Mobile Hookah

Abstract

A smoking pipe of Middle Eastern / South Asian mechanical design, which is used to smoke tobacco and other substances while utilizing liquid, such as water, for purifying the smoke, made novel by the use of a coupler that allows the smoking pipe to be compatible with a multitude of standard, consumer bottle types, such as soda bottles or liquor bottles, as the liquid reservoir, which increases the versatility and transportability of the smoking apparatus.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The tobacco pipe of Middle Eastern and South Asian origin, known as a “hookah,” is differentiated from other smoking pipes by its use of water as a means to cool and purify the smoke. Kline U.S. Pat. No. 4,116,204 describes the “hookah” style pipe as one consisting of a stem and bowl situated in respect to a liquid receptacle, such that smoke from a burning substance may be drawn from the bowl through the stem and into a liquid when the user inhales through a mouthpiece. The smoke is purified and cooled by the liquid, making the smoke more amenable to the user. The Kline Patent accurately described hookahs as being inherently bulky and non-transportable due to the use of a liquid receptacle.[0002]As with the Kline Patent, the object of this patent is a hookah-style pipe with the advantage of water cooled smoke in a configuration that allows for the ease of transport.[0003]Where the Kline Patent seeks to ameliorate the transport issue through the use ...
