Hookah with simplified lighting

Abstract

The invention relates to a hookah comprising a filter bottle ( 1 ) provided with a suction outlet ( 10 ), a bowl ( 21 ) designed to contain a combustible mix (M) to be smoked, and a plunger tube ( 22 ) connecting the bowl ( 21 ) inside the bottle ( 1 ) and dipping into the water contained in the bottle to filter the descending smoke. The hookah according to the invention also comprises a supporting structure ( 3 ), an energy source ( 4 ), and a heat generator ( 5 ), the supporting structure ( 3 ) holding the bottle ( 1 ), the energy source ( 4 ) and the heat generator ( 5 ) in a relatively stable position, and the heat generator ( 5 ) being located above the bowl ( 21 ) and supplied with the energy source ( 4 ) during use to heat the combustible mix (M) to a suitable heating temperature.

1 . Hookah comprising a filter bottle ( 1 ) provided with a suction outlet ( 10 ), a bowl ( 21 ) designed to contain a combustible mix (M) to be smoked, and a plunger tube ( 22 ) connecting the bowl ( 21 ) to the inside of the bottle ( 1 ) and dipping into the water contained in the bottle to filter the descending smoke, characterised in that it also comprises a supporting structure ( 3 ), an energy source ( 4 ) and a heat generator ( 5 ), the supporting structure ( 3 ) comprising a base ( 30 ) and holding the bottle ( 1 ), the energy source ( 4 ) and the heat generator ( 5 ) in a relatively stable position, and the heat generator ( 5 ) being located above the bowl ( 21 ) and supplied with the energy source ( 4 ) during use to heat the combustible mix (M) to a suitable heating temperature, and in that the base ( 30 ) delimits an internal volume in which the energy source ( 4 ) is housed and has a rest surface ( 300 ) on which the bottle ( 1 ) is placed.  
   
   
       2 . Hookah according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the energy source ( 4 ) consists of a reserve ( 4 ) of combustible gas.  
   
   
       3 . Hookah according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the heat generator ( 5 ) comprises a burner ( 51 ) connected to the gas reserve ( 4 ) through a pipe ( 40 ), the pipe ( 40 ) and the burner ( 51 ) being held by two uprights ( 31 ) of the supporting structure ( 3 ).  
   
   
       4 . Hookah according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the burner ( 51 ) comprises a pot ( 510 ), an internal metallic grill ( 511 ) facing the pot ( 510 ) and an external metallic grill ( 512 ) facing the bowl ( 21 ), and in that the internal and external grills ( 511 ,  512 ) are separated from each other by a space inside which the burned gas flame is formed.  
   
   
       5 . Hookah according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the supporting structure ( 3 ) comprises a cap ( 32 ) in which the burner ( 51 ) is housed, and in that the supporting structure consisting of the base ( 30 ) and the cap ( 32 ) combined is approximately in the shape of a pyramid.  
   
   
       6 . Hookah according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the cap ( 32 ) is separated from the support surface ( 300 ) of the base ( 30 ) by a space in which the bottle ( 1 ) and the bowl ( 21 ) can be inserted together, or in that the cap ( 32 ) is installed free to move with respect to the base ( 30 ).  
   
   
       7 . Hookah according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the base ( 30 ) has a drilling ( 301 ) through which at least one gas lighter or a gas flow adjustment valve ( 41 ) projects from the internal volume of this base ( 30 ).  
   
   
       8 . Hookah according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it also comprises a plug ( 6 ) closing the bottle ( 1 ), this plug being fitted with the suction outlet ( 10 ) and a smoke overflow evacuation valve ( 7 ).
