Benefits of technology

[0016]It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof by apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable, and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.

Problems solved by technology

The act of breathing air from the head space of the water receptacle induces partial vacuum in the head space, which in turn draws in smoke from the bowl through the supply conduit.
It is difficult at best to regulate the output of a combustion based heat source.
Also, smoke and other products of combustion may be objectionable within a closed room or building.
There remain issues of control of heat output and limitation of potentially hazardous voltages in an electric heating source for a hookah style water pipe.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]FIG. 1 shows a hookah type water pipe 100 having an electrical heat source for generating smoke. The hookah type water pipe 100 may comprise a conventional hookah 10 which comprises a liquid chamber 12, a smoking chamber 14 for receiving a combustible substance such as tobacco 16 and for generating smoke (not shown) by subjecting the tobacco 16 to heat. As employed herein, the term “chamber” will be understood to encompass both an enclosed space for performing a specified function and also surrounding structure such as walls, floor, etc., as may be necessary to define and maintain structural integrity of the enclosed space.

[0030]In conventional hookahs, heat is generated by placing charcoal (not shown) above or within the smoking chamber 14. The charcoal may be contained in a partially open cage (not shown) which is placed on the tobacco 16 or otherwise in heat exchange relation thereto. The charcoal is ignited. Heat from the burning charcoal is exposed to the tobacco 16. The ...

Abstract

Electric heat for generating smoke from tobacco or the like in a hookah type smoking pipe. Electric heat is obtained from an electrically powered heating element which may be placed proximate the tobacco. The heating element may be contained within a housing which in turn may be placed above the smoking chamber of the hookah. The housing may have adjustably damped holes disposed to pass air over the heating element. Electrical circuitry serving the heating element may comprise a step down transformer and a voltage adjusting switch. The heating element may be integral with the hookah, may take the form of a separate component which is mountable over the smoking chamber of the hookah, or may comprise a free standing assembly which may be placed to stand adjacent to the hookah.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a Continuation-in-Part of U.S. Non-Provisional application Ser. No. 12 / 393,286 filed Feb. 26, 2009, and claims the benefit of priority thereto.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to water pipes for smoking combusted materials, of the type known as hookahs, and more particularly to an electric heating source for hookah type smoking pipes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Hookah water pipes have long been used in smoking using combusted materials such as tobacco. As traditionally practiced, a hookah provides a water receptacle having an inlet conduit and at least one and often several outlet conduits. Smoke enters the water receptacle through the inlet conduit and is distributed to individual smokers through the outlet conduits, which are typically connected to hoses. Smoke is generated in a bowl in which a combustible substance such as tobacco is placed. A heat source is placed over the tobacco. In t...
