Description

Hookah, method and use and hookah tobacco capsule

The invention relates to a hookah, a method for operating a hookah and a use and a hookah tobacco capsule.

Hookahs and their use have been known for many centuries, which in principle have a heating unit, in particular in the form of a coal smoldering unit, in particular in the form of a metal or ceramic / clay bowl, in which glowing coals radiate their heat - in the direction of the tobacco smoke application direction. dispense it downwards in a tobacco holder, for example and in particular in the form of a plate-like holder, so that the tobacco located there burns glowingly due to the heat of the coals, and this produces tobacco smoke which is generated by the creation of a suction vacuum by means of at least one Suction hose and the corresponding connected mouthpieces pass through a water tobacco smoke passage unit, for example and in particular in the form of a mostly bulbous ceramic, metal or glass container which is filled with water, so that the hot, produced tobacco smoke passes through by h the water in the water tobacco smoke passage unit is strongly cooled in order to minimize sensory irritation, with a suction hose connection unit being provided after the water tobacco smoke passage unit, to which at least one suction hose is then connected and in use usually also with at least one mouthpiece, so - that the smoking user by suction and thereby the generation can finally inhale the smoke generated in the tobacco receptacle in a cooled state.

DE 10 2016 120 786 A1 discloses a capsule for insertion into a head of a water pipe, comprising a capsule body and a lid with at least one opening, the capsule body and the lid enclosing a portion space in which a single portion of water pipe tobacco is present, and the lid is connected to the capsule body in a moisture-tight manner by means of a weld seam, the weld seam being produced free of additives and the lid and the capsule body being directly connected to one another by the weld seam.

WO 01/97641 A1 discloses a hookah, in which a filter unit based on activated carbon is disclosed in the mouthpiece.

DE 20 2016 002 621 U1 discloses a chimney head, material clay, or ceramic, characterized in that the chimney head has a large draft hole in the middle, each dimension being applicable here and the draft hole being completely through from top to bottom extends the chimney head.

WO 2017/216593 A1 discloses a water pipe tobacco capsule loaded with tobacco, the latter being designed in such a way that two directions of gas passage which are opposite with respect to the gas-permeable outer surfaces can be implemented or are implemented in use by turning the tobacco capsule, the tobacco capsule in has at least one gas-permeable tobacco compartmentalization element in its interior, wherein at least two tobacco compartments containing tobacco are formed in the interior of the tobacco capsule and are arranged in series in the gas passage direction. Here, too, it has proven to be disadvantageous that a certain part of the tobacco does not remain burned and unburned inside the tobacco capsule and, moreover, the resulting The ashes of the upper layers get caught in the lower layers of tobacco over time and thus sometimes lead to considerable sensory irritation.

The disadvantage here, however, is the fact that tobacco smoke still has a high number of toxins and the taste of tobacco smoke turns out to be unsatisfactory, so that it appears imperative to reduce the toxicity of tobacco smoke in order to influence the taste as little as possible.

This problem is solved according to the invention by a hookah according to claim 1, a method for operating a hookah according to claim 19 and a use according to claim 21.

According to the invention, the hookah has in the direction of the tobacco smoke application device:

A heating unit, in particular a coal smoldering unit, a tobacco holder, a water tobacco smoke passage unit, a suction hose connection unit and advantageously also at least one suction hose and / or at least one mouthpiece, wherein according to the invention the water pipe has at least one tobacco smoke filter unit for partial filtering of toxins, especially if the tobacco receptacle has the filter unit and / or the suction hose connection unit has the filter unit, or at least one suction hose has the filter unit and / or the mouthpiece has the filter unit.

According to the invention, the tobacco smoke filter unit is one which contains silica gel and / or nanoparticles (mainly as grains or granules). The tobacco smoke filter unit is advantageously present as a cartridge / cartridge, so that a clean exchange can take place.

Through the use of a tobacco smoke filter unit, the tobacco filter unit ultimately being able to be present not only in the above-mentioned individual sections, but also in several up to all sections, by using the tobacco smoke filter unit or tobacco smoke filter units at least one part the toxins contained in tobacco smoke are reduced.

The water pipe according to the invention is further advantageously designed such that it has a water pipe tobacco capsule loaded with tobacco in the tobacco receptacle, the tobacco capsule being designed in such a way that two with respect to gas-permeable outer surfaces, which for example and in particular are oval in cross section, opposite directions of gas passage, for example and in particular from top to bottom or from bottom to top, can be realized or can be realized in use by turning the tobacco capsule, for example and in particular by turning through about 180 degrees, the tobacco capsule in it Rem has at least one gas-permeable tobacco compartmentalizing element, for example and in particular designed rust-like, wherein at least two tobacco compartments containing tobacco are formed in the interior of the tobacco capsule and are arranged in series in the gas passage direction, so that, for example wise and in particular the order (from top to bottom) of the upper tobacco compartment, tobacco compartmenting element in the form of a grate and a (further) and second tobacco compartment arranged below it results.

According to the invention, inside a tobacco capsule of this type, by means of a tobacco compartmenting element, for example and in particular in Form of a rust-like network, two tobacco compartments formed in the serial gas passage direction, so that the tobacco in a first application - ie when heating from the heating unit located above the tobacco capsule, for example and in particular in the form of a glowing coal shell burns almost smoldering from top to bottom and the accumulated ashes mostly attach to the remnants of the smoldered tobacco in the upper compartment, while the unused tobacco located in the lower second compartment is turned into a kind of "second pass" by subsequent turning of the water pipe tobacco capsule can be used, in which case there is also a controlled smoldering burning of the tobacco and the accumulated ash adheres to the remains of the tobacco, which is located in the second compartment.

In this way, the tobacco in the tobacco capsule is efficiently used in a much higher manner and, at the same time, the rust-like structure of the tobacco compartmentalizing element in connection with tobacco lying on it considerably reduces the contamination of the tobacco underneath with ash, which leads to an improved sensory perception of tobacco quality.

In this context, as already mentioned above, it is advantageous if the at least one tobacco compartmenting element is designed to be rust-like in order to avoid uncontrolled falling through on the one hand and at the same time to ensure gas traction through the tobacco capsule in order to ensure that the tobacco burns cleanly and smolderingly to enable (gas-permeable outer surfaces, for example and in particular in the form of gas passage openings). In practice, it has been found to be advantageous that the tobacco capsule according to the invention contains aluminum or consists of aluminum, since the excellent conditions for processing and the low density provide the best conditions for mass production.

In addition, it is advantageous if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has gas passage openings on its outer surfaces (see above).

It is also advantageous if the tobacco capsule has at least two tobacco compartment elements, so that not only two but more tobacco compartments can be created and the tobacco capsule can be more precisely adapted to the respective application.

In this context, it is advantageous if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has at least one tobacco-free tobacco compartment, which is arranged in series with respect to the gas passage direction to the at least two tobacco compartments, especially when the tobacco-free tobacco compartment with respect to the gas passage opening between the at least two tobacco compartments - Arranged arranged to achieve an even better thermal separation of the two tobacco compartments from each other and at the same time the likelihood of falling / trickling of tobacco ash is even more minimized or, in a special and advantageous embodiment, the tobacco-free tobacco compartment a tobacco smoke filter unit for par- tial filters of toxins, wherein the tobacco smoke filter unit is one that contains activated carbon and / or silica gel and / or nanoparticles. In this context, the following have proven successful:

Activated carbon with an inner surface of 300 to 2000 m ² / g with a density of 0.2 to 0.6 g / cm ³ . Silica gel with an inner surface of 300 to 800 m ² / g, in particular around 600 m ² / g, with a density of approx. 2.2 g / cm ³

Nanoparticles: which are often on porous material, such as and in particular cellulose acetate, aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide, the particle size generally being in the range from 1 to 1000 nm and the materials being, for example, and in particular fullerenes, carbon black, Nanotubes, metals such as and in particular gold, silver, iron, metal and semimetal oxides such as and in particular Si0 ₂ Ti0 ₂ , Al ₂ 0 ₃ , Fe ₂ 0 ₃ , Fe ₃ 0 ₄ , ZnO, zeolites, metal sulfides, semiconductors , such as and in particular CdTe, CdSe, Si, and polymers, such as and in particular dendrimers, block polymers. As a rule, the nanoparticles are produced by grinding processes and laser ablation, photolithography, electron beam lithography.

It is particularly advantageous if the tobacco capsule according to the invention has a handle in order to ensure that the hookah tobacco capsule can be turned quickly and safely.

In addition, to give the user a particularly intense sensory experience, it is particularly advantageous that the tobacco-free tobacco compartment has an aromatizing unit which is designed, for example, and in particular as a pad or cotton wool.

In this context, it is advantageous because it has been proven that the flavoring unit is provided with at least one flavoring agent and / or fragrance, for example and in particular if the flavoring agent is one from the group of aromatics, esters, terpenes, Aldehydes, ketones, alkyl pyrazines, and / or that the fragrance is one from the group of anethole, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, citronellal, citronellol, coumarin, decanal, ethyl acetate, ethyl butanoate, ethyl vanillin, eugenol, geraniol, heliotropin, indole, isoamyl acetate, lonon, limonene, menthol, vanillin.

Furthermore, the use of the tobacco capsule according to the invention is claimed in a water pipe, it being advantageous in this context if the tobacco capsule can be used twice in the water pipe or is used or the tobacco located in the tobacco capsule can thus be almost completely consumed.

In this context, a method for operating a hookah is also claimed, which is characterized in that a tobacco capsule according to the invention and / or the tobacco smoke filter unit is used.

In this context, it is advantageous because it has proven itself in practice that the tobacco capsule according to the invention can be used or is used at least twice by turning it in the hookah.

Furthermore, the use of a tobacco smoke filter unit for a water pipe, in particular for an inventive one, is also claimed.

With the hookah tobacco capsule according to the invention, it is possible to ensure that the amounts of tobacco per capsule are constant and desired by the pre-assembly. In addition, the preparation time of the tobacco is shortened considerably by pulling off the two seals and placing the capsule in the tobacco capsule holder provided for this purpose, whereby almost the entire amount of tobacco in the capsule is actually consumed by rotating the tobacco capsule can, so that the otherwise usual larger losses (30 vol.%) are eliminated. Finally, the private consumer also saves the otherwise given constraint to buy large quantities for different flavors to buy, so that the relatively small amounts of tobacco per tobacco capsule are also advantageous in this sense, even with several flavors. Ultimately, the entire handling of the tobacco is also much cleaner and more hygienic, since only the two seals have to be removed in order to then apply the respective tobacco capsule in the hookah.

Finally, the shown water pipe tobacco capsule is claimed.
