Hookah bowl

Abstract

A hookah bowl for a hookah is disclosed. The hookah bowl has a raised circular structure in center of the bowl, which has an opening at the apex. A concave area having one or more compartments is defined between inner walls of the upper bowl and the raised circular structure. As the opening is placed at the apex, the liquid in the additive laced tobacco does not leak into the stem or base of the hookah. An alternative embodiment discloses an option to hold multiple flavors of tobacco. The hookah bowl also has a hexagonal shaft extending substantially below the raised circular structure. A diametrically growing airway conduit is defined from the apex of the raised circular structure through the shaft and till distal end of the shaft for increasing the surface area the hot flavored smoke has to traverse before entering into the base of the hookah containing water.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new hookah bowl design that enhances the smoking experience. The bowl has a concave area with a raised circular spire that prevents liquid from leaking into the stem or water container. The concave area can be divided into compartments for different flavors of tobacco, and there may be uneven distribution of the tobacco to achieve different concentrations and flavors. The raised spire is replaced by a raised dome with openings at the apex that enable uniform distribution of the heat for vaporizing the flavors. The airway conduit has a linear or other arrangement that increases the surface area that the thick hot smoke has to traverse before entering the water in the hookah. The bowl is molded from silicone material for better handling and durability. The technical effects of this design include improved hookah smoking experience with a concave area for smoking and a raised spire, as well as a more uniform distribution of the heat and flavors with compartments and openings at the apex.

Problems solved by technology

This results in smooth, thick, and flavorful smoke.

Too much heat will end up burning the tobacco more quickly, resulting in harsh, irritating smoke.

A problem with such traditional design is that the additives drip down into the stem, reducing the amount of vaporizable material, and fouling the interior of the stem and the hookah water container.
