Pre-sealed foil pouch containing such as flavored tobacco for use with a hookah pipe and head attachment assembly

Abstract

A prepackaged pouch assembly for use in a hookah pipe and which includes a volume of a tobacco encapsulated within a dual layer foil including an upper layer and a lower layer, between which is defined an interior volume for containing the volume of tobacco. The foil further includes a perimeter extending and bendable rim, such as which may be intermediately supported by an inner annularly inserted and rigid support collar which is removed at the time of use. The foil package is adapted to be secured in vacuum sealing fashion over a top of an attachment head in turn secured to an upper location of the hookah pipe, and such as by folding the foil edges around the rim of the head attachment and prior to utilization of a pointed instrument for puncturing the upper and lower foil layers in use.

1 . A prepackaged pouch assembly for use in a hookah pipe, comprising: 
 a volume of a tobacco encapsulated within a multiple layer foil including at least an upper layer and a lower layer, between which is defined an interior volume for containing the volume of tobacco; and    said foil layers further including a perimeter extending and bendable edge which is adapted to be secured in vacuum sealing fashion over an associated rim edge of a bowl attachment secured to the hookah pipe.    
   
   
       2 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , said foil pouch having a specified shape and size and containing a molasses tobacco exhibiting a specified moisture content.  
   
   
       3 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a support collar about which is supported said perimeter extending and bendable edge, said tobacco containing interior volume being supported upon an inner open diameter associated with said collar.  
   
   
       4 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a three layer foil construction with a generally wafer shaped filtration element being sandwiched between a first lowermost foil layer and a second intermediate foil layer, the volume of tobacco in turn defining a second interiorly sandwiching and three-dimensional interior layer disposed between an opposite surface associated with said intermediate foil layer and a third upper most foil layer.  
   
   
       5 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 2 , said tobacco further comprising at least one of dried fruit, natural extracts, and artificial flavorings to produce a varying assortment of tobacco flavors, such as apple, double and triple apple, strawberry, rose, mango, cappuccino, vanilla, coconut, cherry, grape, banana, kiwi, blueberry, tutti-frutti, Arabian coffee, mixed fruit, cola, lemon, apricot, licorice and mint.  
   
   
       6 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a pointed implement for puncturing said upper and lower foil layers.  
   
   
       7 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 6 , further comprising a charcoal briquette placed upon said upper foil layer following perforating said foil layers.  
   
   
       8 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , said attachment further comprising a bowl shaped with an interiorly open passageway, said pouch being supported upon an upper facing and inwardly concave surface of said attachment and through which are defined a plurality of apertures.  
   
   
       9 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 1 , the hookah pipe generally including a glass base partially filled with water to define a lower smoke chamber, an elongated pipe connecting to the base by a tube extending downwardly from an intermediate portion into the base interior and at a location below the water level.  
   
   
       10 . A prepackaged pouch assembly for use in a hookah pipe, comprising: 
 a volume of a tobacco encapsulated between upper and lower foil layers, said tobacco further comprising a molasses tobacco having a specified moisture content which is maintained in airtight fashion between said foil layers; and    said foil layers further including a perimeter extending and bendable edge which is adapted to be secured in vacuum sealing fashion over an associated rim edge of a bowl attachment secured to the hookah pipe.    
   
   
       11 . The pouch assembly as described in  claim 10 , further comprising a support collar about which is supported said perimeter extending and bendable edge, said tobacco containing interior volume being supported upon an inner open diameter associated with said collar.  
   
   
       12 . A prepackaged pouch assembly for use in a hookah pipe, comprising: 
 a three layer foil construction including a lowermost foil layer, an intermediate foil layer, and an uppermost foil layer;    a filtration element sandwiched between said lowermost and intermediate foil layers;    a volume of tobacco in turn defining a second interiorly sandwiching and three-dimensional interior layer disposed between an opposite surface associated with said intermediate foil layer and a third uppermost foil layer; and    a perimeter extending and bendable edge collectively defined upon overlapping said foil layers and which is adapted to be secured in vacuum sealing fashion over an associated rim edge of a bowl attachment secured to the hookah pipe.
