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 platform floor a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking a central solid portion, with a platform sidewall defining a reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network from said platform floor to a platform base; and   a bowl shell defining (i) an integral central spire constituted of a spire sidewall, extending adjacently from said platform base toward said platform floor and positioned centrally between a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, and (ii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire; and   wherein said reservoir includes an outer periphery formed exclusively by said platform and an inner periphery formed exclusively by said shell.   
     
     
         2 . The bowl of  claim 1  wherein said shell includes a shell shoulder, below said shell spire, having a spire diameter less than a shell diameter of said shell shoulder. 
     
     
         3 . The bowl of  claim 2  wherein said shell spire sidewall includes an interior surface continuous from said shoulder to said spire. 
     
     
         4 . The bowl of  claim 2  wherein said bowl shell is separable from said tobacco platform. 
     
     
         5 . The bowl of  claim 4  wherein said bowl shell is separable from said tobacco platform proximate to said shoulder. 
     
     
         6 . The bowl of  claim 1  wherein said bowl shell is separable from said tobacco platform. 
     
     
         7 . The bowl of  claim 6  wherein including repeating and exterior surface features positioned on both said shell and said bowl platform. 
     
     
         8 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  further comprising a barrier wall descending from said platform into said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         9 . The hookah bowl of  claim 8  wherein said barrier wall descends below an apex of said spire. 
     
     
         10 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said spire extends at least 50% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         11 . The hookah bowl of  claim 10  wherein said spire extends at least 75% of a height of said peripheral reservoir. 
     
     
         12 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said radial platform aperture network is a raised radial platform aperture network. 
     
     
         13 . The hookah bowl of  claim 1  wherein said spire sidewall includes an inward slant. 
     
     
         14 . The hookah bowl of  claim 13  wherein said spire includes exterior cavities circumscribing said spire. 
     
     
         15 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a platform floor a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking a central solid portion, with a platform sidewall defining a reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network from said platform floor to a platform base; and   a bowl shell, removably affixed to said platform, defining (i) an integral central spire constituted of a spire sidewall, extending adjacently from said platform base toward said platform floor and positioned centrally between a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, (ii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire; and wherein said reservoir includes an outer periphery formed exclusively by said platform and an inner periphery formed exclusively by said shell, (iii) a shell shoulder, below said shell spire, having a spire outer diameter less than a shell outer diameter of said shell shoulder; and (iv) a spire interior surface continuous from said shoulder to said spire.   
     
     
         16 . The hookah bowl of  claim 15  wherein said reservoir includes an outer periphery formed exclusively by said platform and an inner periphery formed exclusively by said shell. 
     
     
         17 . A hookah bowl comprising:
 a bowl tobacco platform defining a platform floor a substantially radial platform aperture network flanking a central solid portion, with a platform sidewall defining a reservoir, positioned directly below said aperture network from said platform floor to a platform base; and   a bowl shell, separable from said platform, defining (i) an integral central spire constituted of a spire sidewall, extending adjacently from said platform base toward said platform floor and positioned centrally between a projection of said aperture network, defining a dry smoke aperture, and (ii) a hookah stem contact port beneath said spire.   
     
     
         18 . The hookah bowl of  claim 17  wherein said reservoir includes an outer periphery formed exclusively by said platform and an inner periphery formed exclusively by said shell.
