Abstract:
1. An improved water pipe comprising (A) a smoke and vapor collection chamber comprising (B) a water reservoir comprising (C) a fifth means providing an ability to alter and adjust a relative vertical positioning of said water reservoir and said smoke and vapor collection chamber, said smoke and vapor collection chamber being suitably installed into said water reservoir, whereby said water reservoir being filled with a suitable quantity of water, said suitable quantity of water being sufficient to substantially fill an interior portion of said smoke and vapor collection chamber so suitably installed, said fourth means having established a substantially airtight seal of said passage and said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, said fifth means will by raising said smoke and vapor collection chamber relative to said water reservoir produce a hydraulic pressure gradient, also known as head, sufficient to cause a quantity of smoke and vapor to be drawn from said second means through said tubular hollow stem member into a portion of an interior of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, and whereby said quantity of smoke and vapor will be filtered and cooled by passing through a quantity of water contained within an interior portion of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, and whereby said quantity of water within an interior portion of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor serves both to draw a quantity of smoke and vapor from said second means through said tubular hollow stem member into an interior portion of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor due to said hydraulic pressure gradient, and to filter and cool said quantity of smoke and vapor, and whereby an operator may adjust a relative vertical positioning of said smoke and vapor collection chamber and said water reservoir so as to control and vary said hydraulic pressure gradient, so controlling and varying a rate at which smoke and vapor may be drawn from said second means through said tubular hollow stem member into said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, so also controlling a rate and temperature of combustion within said second means, and whereby an operator may adjust a relative vertical positioning of said smoke and vapor collection chamber and said water reservoir so as to ensure that a lowermost extent of said tubular hollow stem member remains always immersed below a surface of a portion of a quantity of water contained within an interior portion of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor during operation, and whereby said fourth means having released a substantially airtight seal of said passage and said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, said lowermost extent of said tubular hollow stem member remaining always immersed below a surface of said quantity of water contained within an interior portion of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor, said fifth means by lowering said smoke and vapor collection chamber relative to said water reservoir allows a portion of said quantity of smoke in a portion of an interior of said chamber suitable for the collection and dispensing of a quantity of smoke and vapor to be flushed through said passage for inhalation and enjoyment, simultaneously preventing an undesired outflow of said portion of said quantity of smoke an vapor through said tubular hollow stem member and said second means.
