Hookah Bowl

Abstract

The present invention includes a hookah bowl having a reservoir that catches massell constituents before they accumulate in a hookah stem or base. The reservoir is positioned below bowl apertures and around a bowl spire that leads to a stem.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking a central solid portion; and   a bowl shell defining (i) a peripheral reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network, defining a floor laterally-enclosed within said shell, (ii) a central spire, extending from said floor toward said platform and positioned centrally between a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, and (iii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire.   
     
     
         2 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said bowl tobacco platform is removable from said bowl shell. 
     
     
         3 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  further comprising a barrier wall descending from said platform into said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         4 . The hookah bowl of  claim 3  wherein said barrier wall descends below an apex of said spire. 
     
     
         5 . The hookah bowl of  claim 3  wherein said barrier wall is affixed to said platform. 
     
     
         6 . The hookah bowl of  claim 5  wherein said bowl tobacco platform is removable from said bowl shell. 
     
     
         7 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said spire extends at least 50% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         8 . The hookah bowl of  claim 7  wherein said spire extends at least 75% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         9 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said radial platform aperture network is a raised radial platform aperture network. 
     
     
         10 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking a central solid portion;   a bowl shell defining (i) a peripheral reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network, defining a floor laterally-enclosed within said shell, (ii) a central spire, extending from said floor toward said platform and positioned centrally between a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, positioned below said central solid portion, extending below said floor, and (iii) a barrier wall descending from said platform into said peripheral reservoir and about said spire.   
     
     
         11 . The hookah bowl of  claim 10  wherein said bowl tobacco platform is removable from said bowl shell. 
     
     
         12 . The hookah bowl of  claim 10  wherein said barrier wall descends below an apex of said spire. 
     
     
         13 . The hookah bowl of  claim 12  wherein said bowl tobacco platform is removable from said bowl shell. 
     
     
         14 . The hookah bowl of  claim 10  wherein said spire extends at least 50% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         15 . The hookah bowl of  claim 14  wherein said spire extends at least 75% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         16 . The hookah bowl of  claim 10  wherein said radial platform aperture network is a raised radial platform aperture network. 
     
     
         17 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking an inner portion and an outer portion; and   a bowl shell defining (i) a peripheral reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network, defining a floor laterally-enclosed within said shell, (ii) a spire, extending from said floor toward said platform and positioned within a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, and said spire defining at least one peripheral inlet allowing direct fluid communication between said reservoir and said dry smoke aperture; and (iii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire.   
     
     
         18 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking an inner portion and an outer portion; and   a bowl shell defining (i) a reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network, defining a floor laterally-enclosed within said shell, (ii) a spire, extending from said floor toward said platform and positioned outside of a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture; and (iii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire.
