Collapsible water pipe

Abstract

A collapsible water pipe is disclosed. An example collapsible water pipe includes a base plate forming a water basin, a body connectable to the base plate, an extension connectable to the open-top lid, and a stem connectable to the base plate. The extension is removed from the body and the stem is removed from the base plate, and the body is removed from the base plate so that the extension and the stem are placed inside the body before reconnecting the body to the base plate for storage and/or transport. The extension and the stem are removed from the body, the extension is connected to the body, and the stem is connected to the base plate for assembly in an operating configuration.

         7 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the extension is connectable to the body by threading into the body. 
     
     
         8 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the body has thumb formations. 
     
     
         9 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , further comprising a fritted base plate to increase operating efficiency. 
     
     
         10 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the water pipe is collapsible to be readily portable. 
     
     
         11 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the water pipe is approximately the size and shape of a soda can. 
     
     
         12 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the water pipe is disguisable as a soda can or other container. 
     
     
         13 . A collapsible water pipe, comprising:
 a base plate forming a water basin;   a body;   an extension threaded into a top of the body;   a stem interlocking in an opening formed in a side of the base plate; and   wherein the water pipe is configurable between both an operating configuration and a transport and/or storage configuration.   
     
     
         14 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 13 , wherein the extension is removed from the body and the stem is removed from the base plate, and the body is removed from the base plate so that the extension and the stem are placed inside the body before reconnecting the body to the base plate. 
     
     
         15 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 1 , wherein the body is cylindrical. 
     
     
         16 . The collapsible water pipe of  claim 15 , wherein the water pipe is disguisable as a can or container. 
     
     
         17 . A collapsible water pipe, comprising:
 a body;   a base plate forming a water basin, the base plate connected to the body;   an extension removably connected to a top of the body; and   a stem removably connected to a side of the base plate;   wherein the extension is removed from the body and the stem is removed from the base plate, and the body is removed from the base plate so that the extension and the stem are placed inside the body before reconnecting the body to the base plate in a transport and/or storage configuration; and   wherein the extension and the stem are removed from the body, the extension is connected to the body, and the stem is connected to the base plate for assembly in an operating configuration.
