Pre-sealed foil pouch containing such as flavored tobacco for use with a hookah pipe and head attachment assembly

Abstract

A prepackaged pouch assembly for use in a hookah pipe and which includes a volume of a tobacco encapsulated within a dual layer foil including an upper layer and a lower layer, between which is defined an interior volume for containing the volume of tobacco. The foil further includes a perimeter extending and bendable rim, such as which may be intermediately supported by an inner annularly inserted and rigid support collar which is removed at the time of use. The foil package is adapted to be secured in vacuum sealing fashion over a top of an attachment head in turn secured to an upper location of the hookah pipe, and such as by folding the foil edges around the rim of the head attachment and prior to utilization of a pointed instrument for puncturing the upper and lower foil layers in use.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This Application is a Non-Prov of Prov (35 USC 119(e)) application 60 / 824,846 filed on Sep. 7, 2006 and entitled PRE-SEALED POUCH CONTAINING SUCH AS FLAVORED TOBACCO FOR USE WITH A HOOKAH PIPE AND HEAT ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates generally to water pipe (i.e. hookah pipe) assemblies, also known as “shisha”. More specifically, the present invention discloses an improved prepackaged foil assembly for enclosing a volume of such as a flavored or molasses tobacco and which dispenses with the mess associated applying molasses tobacco directly into the arcuate recess associated with a hookah head attachment bowl. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The prior art is documented with specific examples of attempts made to improve upon the conventional practice of applying molasses tobacco directly upon an open curved bowl interior associated with a conventional hookah pipe. Specifically, conventio...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] More specifically, the present invention discloses an improved and pre-sealed dual foil layer pouch construction, utilized with such a hookah / water pipe, and for containing a volume of a moisture laden tobacco, such as molasses or other flavored tobacco. The dual layer foil pouch construction is an improvement over prior art practices of applying a single foil overlay over a measured volume of tobacco placed directly within a concave recess associated with a clay / ceramic bowl attachment secured atop the pipe assembly, as described above and often resulting in the tobacco both fouling the vacuum intake openings defined through the concave surface of the attachment as well as burn unevenly and incompletely upon a heated charcoal briquette being positioned atop the foil.
