Abstract

Described herein is a compact water pipe comprising essentially of a first hollow elongated tube having a cap secured across the bottom end such that the tube is able to retain fluid, a second hollow elongated tube, one end of which is inserted into the first tube and the other end of which extends outwardly therefrom and is adapted to receive a reversible smoking bowl. The smoking bowl is connected to the second tube and is adapted to retain the smoking tobacco. The reversible bowl is provided with two independent smoking compartments of different sizes, both smoking compartments having the same diameter such that they each fit over the open end of the second elongated tube. An orifice, connecting the first and second smoking compartments, is provided to enable the smoke to pass into the second tube, through the fluid, and out through the first tube. A closure cap is provided across the open end of the first tube to prevent fluid spillage while permitting smoke to pass through a series of passages contained therein. The arrangement of the component parts is such that the device is portable and easily dismantled for rapid and efficient cleaning.

Claims

1. A compact water pipe comprising:

a. a first hollow elongated cylindrical tube having top and bottom open ends;

b. means secured across said bottom end to permit fluid to be retained in said tube;

c. a second hollow elongated cylindrical tube having top and bottom open ends, said bottom end inserted into said first tube and said top end extending outwardly therefrom;

d. a cylindrical reversible smoking bowl connected to the top end of said second tube for retaining smoking tobacco and permitting smoke to pass into the tube;

e. said second tube and said bowl being smaller in length and diameter than said first tube and separable therefrom whereby said second tube and said bowl may be disassembled from said first tube and stored within the interior space defined by said first hollow tube;

f. whereby smoke passing into said second tube is drawn through said fluid and directed out through said first tube.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein said means secured across said bottom end comprises a removable cap.

3. The device of claim 2 further comprising a removable cap secured across the top end of said first tube.

4. The device of claim 3 wherein said cap secured across the top end contains a plurality of holes to permit smoke to be drawn without removal of the cap.

5. The device of claim 4 wherein said holes are centrally located to minimize fluid spillage when said pipe is in a horizontal position.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein said second tube is inserted into said first tube at an acute angle thereto.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein said reversible smoking bowl comprises a. a first smoking compartment having an inside diameter adapted to fit over said top open end of said second tube;

b. a second smoking compartment having the same inside diameter as said first smoking compartment and having a length larger than the length of said first smoking compartment; and

c. an orifice connecting said first and second smoking compartments for permitting smoke to pass therethrough;

d. whereby said bowl is reversible for retaining a larger or a smaller volume of smoking tobacco.
