Abstract

The invention discloses a device for combining a glass container and a glass hookah, wherein the glass container comprises a hollow interior, an open top end for accommodating a container cover and a middle part arranged between the open top end and a bottom part, and the bottom part is detachably connected with a top opening part of the glass hookah.

Description

Device for combining glass container and glass water pipe
Technical Field
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a glass hookah with a glass container. In addition, other aspects are described.
Background
A hookah is a filter device used to smoke smokable substances, such as tobacco and the like. Hookah generally may be made up of three parts: the water chamber comprises a cigarette holder (or an opening) arranged at the top; a lower tobacco rod in the form of a thin tube having an opening into the bottom of the water chamber; a bowl containing smoking material. During use, the bowl (or the pipe part of the bowl) is inserted into the lower tobacco rod, and the bottom of the water chamber is filled with water capable of submerging at least one part of the lower tobacco rod. After the user forms a seal by placing the mouth at the mouthpiece, the smokable substance is ignited with a flame. The user then effects filtration and/or cooling of the smoke generated by the ignited smokable substance by inhaling from the bowl, through the lower tobacco rod and then through the water. The filtered and/or cooled smoke is collected in a water chamber. When the smokable substances are burnt out, the user can smoke the smoke collected in the water chamber after taking the smoke bowl down from the lower smoke rod.
Disclosure of Invention
The hookah may include multiple components, such as a water chamber and a bowl that may be integrated and stored as a single item. After use, the user can pour the water out of the water chamber, remove all the smoking substances that are not used up in the bowl, and place the cleaned bowl in the opening of the water chamber to clean and store the water pipe. Storing the hookah as a single item helps prevent improper placement of various components such as the bowl. However, the use of a hookah also involves many other components such as the smokable substance and the flame source (e.g., a lighter) that may be located separate from the hookah, and each such component (including the hookah) may be located separate from the other. The smokable substance may be stored in a sealed plastic bag and the lighter may be stored separately. Since each such component is a necessary component for the use of the hookah, the user must systematically position it in a known location. However, since these components are separated from each other, in some cases, some components may be misplaced, resulting in the water pipe being unusable. Accordingly, there is a need for an organized arrangement of the above components such that at least some of such components are stored in the same location as the hookah, so that they are readily available when a user desires to use the hookah to smoke the smokable substance.
The present disclosure relates to a glass container combined with a glass hookah. The container includes a hollow interior for containing (storing or securing) one or more components (or objects) such as a smokable substance. The container includes an open top end that allows a user to place a containment object into the hollow interior of the container. The open top end is also adapted to receive a container lid. For example, when the container lid is a plug (e.g., cork), the hollow interior can be sealed by inserting (and press-fitting) the plug into the open top end. The container lid may also be, for example, a screw cap. In this case, the open top end may include a threaded (e.g., male) portion, and the screw cap may have a female thread so that the screw cap can be screwed onto the glass container. The glass container further comprises an intermediate portion disposed between the open top end and the (closed) bottom portion. The bottom portion is adapted to be removably connected to the top opening portion of the glass hookah. In this case, the open top open portion of the glass hookah may comprise an outer joint and the bottom portion of the glass container comprises an inner joint, the outer joint for receiving the inner joint. In this manner, the glass container may contain smokable substances and be placed on the glass hookah (by inserting the closed bottom portion into the open top of the glass hookah) when the hookah is not in use, thereby enabling a user to store smokable substances with the glass hookah.
In general, most uses for purchasing smokable substances are intended to discourage others (e.g., minors) from consuming such smokable substances without permission. To accomplish this, the user may hide the smokable substance from the minors or place it in a location (e.g., in a cabinet) that is inaccessible to the minors. However, this may still be insufficient to prevent others from obtaining smokable material (e.g., young people may inadvertently find hidden smokable material). Therefore, it is desirable to secure the smokable substance (and/or components of the hookah) in place during storage. The present disclosure describes an approach for providing a safety cap (child resistant cap) on a glass container. In particular, the safety cap may be screwed onto a threaded portion of the glass container. Such a safety cap may reduce the risk of others coming into contact with the contents of the container by preventing others from opening the glass container.
The above summary of the invention does not list all aspects of the disclosure in an exhaustive manner. The present disclosure is intended to encompass all systems and methods that can be practiced according to all suitable combinations of the various aspects summarized above, disclosed in the detailed description section below, and particularly pointed out in the claims of the application. The specific advantages of such combinations are not specifically described in the summary section above.

In one aspect, at least one of the hookah housing, bowl, and container is constructed of glass. In another aspect, the cylindrical hookah, container, and/or bowl may be similar to those described above.
In the description herein, "coupling" a component to another component may refer to fluidly coupling the two components together such that fluid, such as smoke, generated upon ignition of the smokable substance is able to flow between the two components. For example, fluidly connecting a tube to another tube (or chamber) means connecting (or connecting) the two tubes together so that smoke can flow from one of the tubes into the other tube.
Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a glass hookah system (or apparatus) 1 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, the figure shows a glass hookah system 1 comprising a glass hookah 2, a lower tobacco rod 3, a bowl 4, a lid 20, a glass container 5 and a container lid 28. As shown, each component is separate (detachable or removable) from the other. As further shown, the Z-axis is the longitudinal central axis extending through the glass hookah 2, the glass container 5, and the container lid 28, and the T-axis is the longitudinal central axis extending through the lid 20, the bowl 4, and the lower tobacco rod 3 (and the open side 10 of the glass hookah). In one aspect, at least a portion of a component may be formed integrally with another component (or a portion thereof). For example, as shown, the lower tobacco rod may be part of a bowl and/or glass hookah. In another aspect, the system can increase or decrease the components. For example, the system may include neither the lower tobacco rod nor at least one of the two lids.
The glass water pipe 2 comprises a water chamber (e.g. bottom part) 6 for containing water, a neck (e.g. middle part) 7 and an open top (first open top) 8. As shown in the figure, the glass hookah is a flask-shaped hookah. In particular, the shape of the water chamber is conical with a closed bottom portion, which tapers inwards (and the bottom portion edges are rounded) in a direction away from the bottom portion of the water chamber and towards the neck (e.g. along the longitudinal central Z-axis). The neck 7 is cylindrical in shape and fluidly connects the water chamber with the open top. The open top is conical in shape and tapers outwardly in the direction away from the neck in the Z-axis direction. The open top has an opening 9 at the end opposite the neck. In one aspect, all three of the above components are fluidly connected together such that the components form a hollow interior within the hookah.
In one aspect, the components of the glass hookah 2 may also have different shapes than described above. For example, the shape of the open top 8 may also be cylindrical. In this case, the top 8 and neck 7 may have the same (or similar) outer (and/or inner) diameter (e.g., both being the same tube). For another example, the water chamber 6 and/or the open top 8 may be at least partially cylindrical in shape. In this case, the glass hookah may be a tubular hookah. As such, each component may have the same outer (and/or inner) diameter, such that the hookah (as a whole) is (at least partially) cylindrical in shape (e.g., a glass tube with a closed bottom end and an open top end). In another aspect, the glass hookah (and/or any component of the hookah) may have any shape.
The glass chimney 2 has a height (H) extending from the floor of the water chamber to the top of the open top (e.g., to the opening 9)1). In one aspect, H1Can be in the range of 10cm to 300 cm. In another aspect, height H1Can be in the range of 60 cm-200 cm. In some aspects, height H1Can be in the range of 30 cm-60 cm. Maximum outer diameter (D) of the water chamber 61) Can be in the range of 1cm to 40 cm. In another aspect, D1Can be in the range of 2cm to 20 cm. As shown, the diameter of the neck 7 is less than D1. In one aspect, the neck 7 and/or open top 8 (e.g., mouthpiece) may have the same diameter (e.g., D) as the water chamber1). In another aspect, the hookah may also have other dimensions.
As shown, the glass hookah 2 also includes an open side 10. One side of the open side has an opening 11 and the opposite side is in fluid connection with the water chamber. In one aspect, the open side may be connected with the side wall of the water chamber or may be formed as part of (the side wall of) the water chamber. In another aspect, the open side may be made of the same material as the water chamber (e.g., glass, etc.). However, in some aspects, the open sides can be made of different materials (e.g., plastic).
The open top 8 and the open sides 10 comprise a (top) outer joint and a (side) outer joint, respectively. Specifically, the open top is an outer joint having an inner surface 12, and the inner surface 12 is gradually enlarged in a conical shape in the Z-axis direction. Similarly, the open side is an outer joint having an inner side 13, the inner side 13 being gradually flared in a conical shape in the direction of the longitudinal center T axis. In one aspect, either of the top 8 and side 10 portions may include a tapered outer joint while having a cylindrical outer side. For example, the outer side surface of the open top 8 may have a cylindrical shape such that the outer diameter of the open top 8 is the same as the outer diameter of the neck 7 while the inner side surface 12 is a conical surface as described above. In another aspect, either of the two external joints may have a different shape than described above. For example, the inner side surface 12 of the top outer joint may be cylindrical in shape so that the inner diameter of the open top remains constant along (at least part of) its height in the Z-axis direction.
The lower tobacco rod 3 comprises a joint 14 in fluid connection with a hollow tube 15. The joint 14 has an inner surface 21 (and an outer surface 22) that gradually widens in a conical shape in the T-axis direction (in a direction away from the hollow tube 15).
The bowl 4 includes an open bottom portion 16 (at a first end of the bowl), an open top portion 18 (at a second end of the bowl opposite the first end), and an intermediate portion 17 disposed between the bottom portion 16 and the top portion 18. As shown, (at least a portion of) the intermediate portion 17 is cylindrical in shape and fluidly connects the open bottom portion 16 with the open top portion 18. Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the intermediate portion 17. The bottom part 16 comprises a nipple with an outer side face 19, which outer side face 19 tapers in a conical shape in the direction of the T-axis in a direction away from the middle part 17. In one aspect, the inner side of the bottom portion 16 may be (at least partially) cylindrical in shape. The open top 18 is cylindrical in shape and includes a threaded portion. In particular, the thread of the threaded portion is an external thread. The cap 20 is a screw cap including internal threads. The threaded portion of the bowl 4 is for threaded connection with a lid so that the open top of the bowl 4 can be closed (and sealed) by a user.
As mentioned above, the glass container 5 includes a closed bottom portion 23 at a first end of the container that is configured to be removably connected to the open top of the glass hookah. The container further includes an open top 25 (e.g., a second open top) disposed at a second end of the container opposite the first end, and an intermediate portion 24 disposed between the bottom portion 23 and the top 25. Specifically, the intermediate portion 24 fluidly connects the open top 25 with the closed bottom portion 23. The intermediate portion 24 is conical in shape and gradually widens in a direction away from the closed bottom portion 23 and towards the open top 25 (along the longitudinal central Z-axis). In one aspect, closed bottom portion 23 is also conical in shape. Specifically, the closed bottom portion 23 is an inner joint (closed joint) having an outer side face 26, and the outer side face 26 is gradually widened outward in a conical shape in a direction away from the bottom face of the bottom portion 23 and toward the intermediate portion 24 on the longitudinal center Z axis. The open top 25 is cylindrical in shape and is adapted (and sized) to receive a cap (e.g., a container cap 28). As shown, the open top 25 includes a threaded portion that is externally threaded. The container lid 28 is a screw cap that includes internal threads. In this manner, the threaded portion of the container 5 is configured to be threadably coupled to the container lid 28 for the user to close (and seal) the container.
The container 5 also includes a hollow interior 27 for containing a contained object such as a smokable substance. In one aspect, hollow interior 27 is a portion of middle portion 24 and top portion 25. In another aspect, the hollow interior can extend to the closed bottom portion such that the container can be filled with the contents from the bottom surface of the bottom portion 23 all the way to the top 25.
In one aspect, the glass container 5 may have a different shape than described above. In particular, the closed bottom portion 23 and/or the intermediate portion 24 may be (at least partially) cylindrical in shape. The cylindrical shape of the glass container is shown in more detail in fig. 7.
In one aspect, the components of the hookah system may be constructed of one or more materials. For example, the hookah 2, lower tobacco stem 3, bowl 4 and container 5 may all be made of glass, while the lid 20 and container lid 28 may be made of plastic. In one aspect, at least some of the components may be constructed of one or more different materials. For example, the container may be constructed of glass, plastic, and/or metal (e.g., steel). In one aspect, the different components may be integrally formed as a single article from at least one material. For example, the bowl 4 and the container 5 may be made from the same piece of glass.
In one aspect, the different components of the glass hookah system 1 can be combined with each other to form a single article. For example, the (outer joint of the) open top 8 of the hookah pipe 2 is arranged for and sized to receive (via the opening 9) the (inner joint of the) closed bottom portion 23 of the glass container 5, so that the glass container can be placed on top of the glass hookah pipe. Furthermore, the (outer joint of the) open side 10 is arranged for and sized to receive (via the opening 11) the joint 14 of the lower tobacco rod, while this joint 14 itself is arranged for and sized to receive the (inner joint of the) open bottom portion 16 of the smoking bowl 4. Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, each such component may be removably connected to each other.
In another aspect, at least a portion of the side surfaces of the inner and/or outer joint may be a frosted surface (or roughened surface). For example, outer side 26 may be a frosted glass surface, or inner side 12 may be a frosted glass surface, or both surfaces 26 and 12 may be frosted glass surfaces. For another example, inner side 13, inner side 21, outer side 22, and/or outer side 19 may be frosted glass surfaces. In one aspect, the frosted surface may provide additional friction when the inner joint is received (and press-fit) into the outer joint. In another aspect, all of the inner and outer joints have a frosted surface. In another aspect, at least a portion of the surface may not be a frosted surface. In this manner, a smooth transparent surface (e.g., a polished glass surface) can be provided.
FIG. 2 illustrates a glass container 5 provided with a container lid 28 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, the container lid shown in the figure is a screw cap screwed to (the male screw of) the open top end 25 of the glass container 5. The glass container 5 on which the container lid 28 is provided has a height (H) extending from the bottom surface of the closed bottom portion 23 to the top surface of the container lid 282). In one aspect, H2May be only the height of the glass container (e.g., the height from the bottom surface of closed bottom portion 23 to the top surface (top edge) of open top end 25). In one aspect, height H2Can be in the range of 2cm to 40 cm. In another aspect, H2Can be in the range of 5cm to 20 cm. In some aspects, H2Is 6.5 cm. The glass container 5 has an (outer) diameter (D)2). As shown in the figure, D2The outer diameter of the container lid 28. However, in one aspect, D2The diameter of the cylindrical open top end 25. In another aspect, D2The maximum outer diameter of the conical midsection 24 (e.g., the outer diameter of the midsection where it meets the open top end). In some aspects, D is when intermediate portion 24 is cylindrical2May be the outer diameter of (at least a portion of) the intermediate portion along the Z-axis. In one aspect, diameter D2Can be in the range of 2.5 cm-20 cm. In another aspect, D2Can be in the range of 4 cm-10 cm. In some aspects, D2Is 5 cm.
As shown, the closed bottom portion 23 of the glass container 5 may have dimensions that differ from the dimensions of other portions of the container, such as the intermediate portion 24. For example, the closed bottom portion 23 has a height (H) extending from the intermediate portion 24 (bottom edge) to the bottom surface of the closed bottom portion3). In one aspect, height H3Can be in the range of 0.5cm to 10 cm. In another aspect, H3Can be between 1cm and 5 cm. In some aspects, H3Is 1.5 cm. Furthermore, the closed bottom part also has an (outer) diameter (D)3). As shown in the figure, D3May be the smallest diameter of the conical closed bottom portion. In another aspect, when the closed bottom portion is cylindrical, D3May be a bottom portion (toA fraction) of the outer diameter along the Z-axis. In one aspect, diameter D3Can be in the range of 2cm to 10 cm. In another aspect, D3Can be in the range of 3 cm-5 cm. In some aspects, D3Is 3.5 cm.
As shown, the intermediate portion 24 is connected to the closed bottom portion by an edge 30 extending inwardly toward the longitudinal center Z axis. In one aspect, as shown in fig. 5, the rim is intended to contact the open top 8 of a glass hookah and rest on it (top rim). The intermediate portion 24 has a larger diameter than the closed bottom portion 23 due to the presence of the rim 30. Specifically, one end of the intermediate portion (where the intermediate portion has the smallest diameter) connected to a first side (along the Z-axis) of the rim 30 has a larger diameter than one end of the closed bottom portion 23 (where the closed bottom portion has the largest diameter) connected to an opposite second side of the rim 30.
Fig. 3 illustrates a glass container provided with a container lid according to another aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, the glass container 31 shown in the figure has a stopper 36 as a container cover for sealing the container. The container 31 is similar to the container 5 such that the container 31 comprises a closed bottom portion 32, an open top 34, and an intermediate portion 33 disposed between the bottom portion and the top. Further, the container 31 includes a hollow interior 38 for receiving the containment object, wherein the hollow interior may extend from the intermediate portion 33 (and the open top 34) into the closed bottom portion 32. Unlike the glass container 5, however, the open top 34 does not include a threaded portion, but includes an outer lip provided at the top edge of the top. The top portion 34 is configured to receive a plug 36. Specifically, the plug is configured to be press-fit into the open top 34 of the container 31. In one aspect, the plug 36 may be constructed of one or more materials such as cork, plastic, rubber, and/or metal.
As shown, the container 31 is shaped differently than the container 5. In particular, the intermediate portion 33 is connected to the closed bottom portion 32 by an edge 37 extending outwardly from the longitudinal center Z-axis (in a direction from the intermediate portion 33 and toward the closed bottom portion 32). Thus, one end of the intermediate portion connected to a first side (along the Z-axis) of the rim 37 has a smaller diameter than the opposite second side of the rim 37An end of the attached closed bottom portion. In one aspect, the intermediate portion 33 and the closed bottom portion 32 can have similar dimensions. For example, both portions taper inwardly (in a direction away from the respective bottom surfaces) along the Z-axis. For another example, the two portions may have the same height along the Z-axis (e.g., the height of the middle portion 33 extending from the open top 34 to a first side of the edge 37 may be the same as the height of the closed bottom portion 32 extending from a second side of the edge 37 to the bottom surface of the closed bottom portion 32). As another example, the middle portion 33 and the bottom portion 32 may have the same (or similar) diameter along the respective heights in the Z-direction. In another aspect, the container 31 may be of similar (or the same) size as the container 5 (e.g., the open top 34 may have a dimension D as2The same diameter).
Figure 4 illustrates a smoking bowl provided with a lid according to one aspect of the present disclosure. As mentioned above, the bowl 4 comprises an open bottom portion 16, an open top portion 18, and an intermediate portion 17 disposed therebetween. The figure shows a lid 20 which is a screw cap that screws onto (the external thread of) the open top 18 of the bowl 4. The intermediate portion 17 comprises two chambers spaced from each other. Specifically, the intermediate portion includes: a first (containing) chamber 40 for containing a smokable substance; and a second (output) chamber 41 for (1) receiving smoke from the first chamber 40 when the smokable substance is lit, and (2) supplying smoke to the water chamber (via the lower tobacco rod 3). The operation of the glass hookah is described in more detail below. Chambers 40 and 41 are separated by a restriction 42. The restraint structure 42 is a ring-shaped structure that surrounds a portion of the inner surface of the intermediate portion 17 and tapers inwardly toward the longitudinal center T axis. The center of the restriction forms an aperture 47 fluidly connecting the first chamber 40 with the second chamber 41. The diameter of the hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the intermediate portion 17. Thus, the restriction structure restricts the passage of larger objects between the two chambers by narrowing the inner diameter of the intermediate portion. In one aspect, restraint structure 42 may be part of intermediate portion 17 (integral with intermediate portion 17). For example, when the bowl 4 is a glass bowl, the restriction structure may be formed by the glass wall that forms the glass intermediate portion 17.
The bowl 4, with the lid 20 disposed thereon, has a height (H) extending from a bottom end of the open bottom portion 16 (e.g., the end opposite the end of the bottom portion connected to the intermediate portion 17) to a top end of the lid 204). In one aspect, H4May be the bowl height when no lid is present (e.g., from the bottom end of the open bottom portion 16 to the top end of the open top portion 18). In one aspect, height H4Can be in the range of 4 cm-20 cm. In another aspect, H4Can be in the range of 6 cm-12 cm. In some aspects, H4It was 7.5 cm. The bowl 4 has an (outer) diameter (D)4). In one aspect, D4The diameter of the cylindrical open top 18. In another aspect, D4The outer diameter of (at least a part of) the cylindrical middle portion 17. In yet another aspect, D4The outer diameter of the cap 20. In one aspect, diameter D4Can be in the range of 1 cm-8 cm. In another aspect, D4Can be in the range of 1.5cm to 5 cm. In some aspects, D4Is 2.5 cm.
FIG. 5 illustrates a glass hookah system according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, as noted above, the figure shows each of the components of the glass hookah system 1 integrated with each other to form a single article. Thus, a container that can hold a subject (e.g., unused smokable substances) is placed on top of the glass hookah housing with the lid 28 and the bowl 4 is placed in the open side 10 with the lid 20. After combination, the system 1 may be placed elsewhere for subsequent use.
As shown in this figure, the lid 20 and the container lid 28 are screw-on caps. In one aspect, either of the two caps (or both caps) may be a safety cap (or a child-resistant cap). The container lid 28 may be, for example, a safety cap that can be screwed onto the open top end 25 of the container 5 by twisting the cap in a first (clockwise) direction, but cannot be removed by simply twisting the cap in a second (counter-clockwise) opposite direction. Conversely, if the user desires to remove the cap, the user may twist the cap in the second direction while pushing the cap in the direction of the vessel. As mentioned above, the lid 20 and container lid 28 may be plastic lids. In another aspect, any of the two covers may be constructed of any material, such as metal, rubber, wood, and the like.
As mentioned above, the lid 20 and container lid 28 may be a threaded (safety) cap and/or plug. In one aspect, either of the two covers may be any type of cover. For example, the container lid 28 can be a lid (e.g., a plastic lid) that is pressed over the open top end 25 and a lip that conforms to the outer surface of the top. In one aspect, either of the two lids may be latched to and secured to the container 5 and/or the smoking bowl 4. For example, the container lid 28 may be a spring-loaded (or flip-top) lid that is held in place by a gasket (e.g., a rubber gasket) and held in place by a metal latch.
FIG. 6 illustrates a glass hookah system in use according to one aspect of the present disclosure. In particular, the figure shows the hookah system 1 in a ready-to-use state. The closed bottom portion 6 is internally filled with water 60 and the water level submerges at least a portion of the tube 15 of the tobacco rod 3. The container 5 has been removed from the open top 8 and the lid 20 has been removed from the smoking bowl 4.
FIG. 7 illustrates another example of a glass hookah system 81 according to another aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, the system 81 is similar to the glass hookah system 1, except that the system 81 includes hookahs and containers that are sized differently than the hookahs 2 and containers 5 of the system 1. Specifically, the system 81 includes a cylindrical hookah pipe 82, the hookah pipe 82 having a lateral outer joint 89 (similar to the joint 10 of the glass hookah pipe 2) for receiving the bowl 4 (e.g., via the lower tobacco rod). The hookah 82 also includes a cylindrical water chamber (or neck) 87 and a cylindrical open top 88. As shown, the open top 88 and the water chamber 87 are the same cylindrical tube.
The glass container 85 includes a closed bottom portion 83, an open top illustrated as being covered by the container lid 28, and an intermediate portion 84 disposed between the bottom portion and the top. The glass container 85 also includes a hollow interior 86. Unlike the glass container 5, the container 85 is cylindrical in shape. Specifically, as described above, the intermediate portion 84 is (at least partially) cylindrical in shapeAnd the closed bottom portion 83 is (at least partially) cylindrical in shape. Thus, the intermediate portion 84 may have a first diameter (e.g., D)2) The closed bottom portion 83 can have a second diameter (e.g., D)3) Wherein D is2Greater than D3. In one aspect, D of the (cylindrical) middle portion 842May be the same (or similar) diameter as the open top 88 (and/or the water chamber 87). As such, when the container is placed on the hookah 82, the outer surface of the middle portion 84 is flush with the outer surface of the neck and top portions 87 and 88.
Fig. 8 is an exploded view of a connection structure 70 connecting the glass container 5 to the glass hookah 2 according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, the portion of the hookah system 1 shown in this figure includes the glass container 5, the connection structure 70, and the open top 8 of the glass hookah 2. All of these components are separate (detachable or removable) from each other as shown.
The figure shows only the open top 8 of the glass hookah 2. As shown, the top portion includes an externally threaded portion 71 extending along at least a portion of the height of the top portion in the Z-direction. In one aspect, the externally threaded portion may be constructed of the same material as the open top (e.g., both constructed of glass).
The connecting structure 70 includes a glass container 79 having an open top 74 (e.g., a third open top) and a closed bottom portion 75 (e.g., a second closed bottom portion). The closed bottom portion 75 is shaped as a cone that tapers inwardly in the Z-axis direction in a direction away from the open top. That is, the closed bottom portion 75 is gradually reduced in diameter in the Z-axis direction. In one aspect, the closed bottom portion can be (at least partially) cylindrical in shape such that the diameter of the closed bottom portion 75 remains constant along the Z-axis. The glass container 79 also includes a hollow interior 72. The open top 74 is adapted to receive and be connected to (a closed bottom portion of) the glass container 5 such that the connecting structure secures (and retains) the container thereto. Specifically, at least a portion of the container 5 (e.g., the closed bottom portion 23) is positioned within the hollow interior 72 when coupled to the coupling structure. In one aspect, as described above, the connection structure 70 may include an external joint (not shown) configured to tap and engage the closed bottom portion of the glass container 5.
The open top includes a screw cap (e.g., a plastic cap) 76 and a retaining structure 78. In one aspect, the linking structure may be a RODAVISS linking structure. Specifically, the retaining structure 78 may rest on a circular glass bump (not shown) that is connected to the outer surface of the glass container 79. Further, the screw cap 76 can rest on the retaining structure 78 such that the cap 76, although rotatable, cannot be pushed down and over the remainder of the glass container 79 (e.g., the cap cannot be pushed over the closed bottom portion 75). However, in one aspect, the cap 76 can be pulled up to disengage the retaining structure 78. The connecting structure is arranged to be connected with the glass water pipe in a detachable mode. Specifically, the open top 8 is adapted to receive the closed bottom portion 75 of the connecting structure 70. After it is received, the connection structure is used to threadedly connect with the externally threaded portion 71 of the open top 8. Specifically, the screw cap may include an internally threaded portion that threads onto the externally threaded portion 71 when a user places the attachment structure atop the open top 8 and screws the cap in a first (e.g., clockwise) direction. After the threaded connection, the connection structure may seal (or close) the open top 8 of the glass hookah.
FIG. 9 illustrates a glass hookah system provided with the attachment structure shown in FIG. 8, according to one aspect of the present disclosure. Specifically, as shown, the connection structure 70 is removably connected with (the open top 8 of) the glass hookah 2, and the glass container 5 is connected with the connection structure 70. The connecting structure 70 has several advantages. For example, when the attachment structure 70 is attached to the glass hookah 2, the attachment structure covers (closes) the opening 9 of the open top 8. In this manner, liquid (e.g., cleaning solution) is prevented from escaping from opening 9 when the user cleans the hookah (e.g., when shaking the solution within hookah 2). Furthermore, the attachment structure provides protection to the glass hookah when the glass container 5 is attached to the hookah. For example, when a user attaches a glass container directly to a glass hookah, damage (e.g., chipping) to the hookah may result. However, by providing the connection structure, cushioning can be achieved between the container 5 and the hookah 2.
While certain aspects have been described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such aspects are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad scope of the disclosure, and that this disclosure not be limited to the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described, but may be modified variously by those skilled in the art.
In some aspects, the disclosure may include a statement such as "[ at least one of element a ] and [ element B ]. Such phrases may refer to one of the elements or more than one of the elements. For example, "at least one of a and B" may refer to "a", "B", or "a and B". In particular, "at least one of a and B" may refer to "at least one of a and at least one of B," or "… … of at least a or B. In some aspects, the disclosure may include statements such as "[ element a ], [ element B ], and/or [ element C ]". This statement may refer to any of the elements or any combination of the elements. For example, "A, B and/or C" may refer to "a", "B", "C", "a and B", "a and C", "B and C", or "A, B and C".
