Threaded Jar Device for Compact Water Pipe Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional water pipes are bulky and difficult to transport and manipulate, limiting their portability and convenience for smokers.
Innovation Solution
A jar device with a container and hollow body that can be configured into a water pipe by threading engagement, allowing for easy assembly and storage, featuring a lid for sealing and a spout for smoke communication, and constructed from transparent materials like glass or plastic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional water pipes are constructed with a water chamber and diffuser, then cooling and filtration function is improved, but device size and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the water pipe chamber with a jar container, combining two separate functions (smoking device and storage container) into a single integrated structure. The chamber serves both as the water filtration chamber and the jar body, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing overall device volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The jar device serves multiple functions: it acts as both a smoking device (with water chamber and diffuser for cooling and filtration) and a storage container for herbs. The lid provides additional functionality by sealing the chamber when not in use, creating a multi-functional device that addresses both smoking needs and portability requirements.
2Volume of moving object
If water pipes are made compact for portability, then device size is improved, but ease of assembly and manipulation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the water pipe into separable components (chamber with diffuser and lid) that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The threaded connection allows for simple manipulation and assembly, while the compact design maintains portability. Users can easily assemble the components by screwing the lid onto the chamber base.
3Reliability
If water pipes are designed with diffuser and water chamber, then smoke filtration is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the water chamber and storage jar into a single integrated structure, reducing the number of separate components needed. The diffuser is integrated directly into the chamber base, and the lid serves multiple purposes including sealing and potential herb storage, thereby simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining effective smoke filtration through the water chamber and diffuser combination.
