Water pipe
According to some examples, a water pipe can include a body with a top end section, a bottom end section and an opening at the top end section. The opening can be angled with respect to a vertical axis. Additionally, the body of the water pip can include a well extending from the opening to the bottom end section, and an indent extending from the top end section to the bottom end section.
1. A water pipe comprising:
a removable bowl including a bowl stem;
a tab including a hole dimensioned to fit a diameter of the bowl stem; and
a body including:
a top end section;
a bottom end section terminating at a base;
an opening at the top end section;
a well extending from the opening to the bottom end section; and
an indent extending from the top end section to the bottom end section,
the indent including a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion including an indent opening dimensioned to receive the bowl stem and the top portion including a recess formed from the body to provide a shelving structure for one or more fingers of a user to securely grip the water pipe.
2. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein the body gradually tapers from the top end section to the bottom end section.
3. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a surface of the bowl stem has a ground-glass finish.
4. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein the tab is formed from a heat resistant material.
5. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein the bowl is formed from borosilicate glass.
6. The water pipe of claim 1 , further comprising:
a down-stem, the down-stem including:
a first end section with a first opening;
a second end section with a second opening; and
a conduit extending from the first opening to the second opening.
7. The water pipe of claim 6 ,
wherein a portion of the conduit at the first end section of the down-stem is dimensioned to receive the bowl stem.
8. The water pipe of claim 7 , wherein a surface of the conduit of the down-stem has a ground-glass finish, a smooth-glass finish or a combination thereof.
9. The water pipe of claim 6 , wherein the first end section of the down-stem includes a protruding edge.
10. The water pipe of claim 1 , further comprising:
a grommet dimensioned to line an edge of the indent opening.
11. The water pipe of claim 10 , wherein the grommet includes:
a first end section with a first opening;
a second end section with a second opening; and
a conduit extending from the first opening to the second opening.
12. The water pipe of claim 11 , wherein the grommet is formed from a heat resistant material.
13. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein the indent gradually tapers from the top end section to the bottom end section and wherein a diameter of the opening is smaller than a diameter of the base.
14. The water pipe of claim 1 , further comprising:
a protective sleeve dimensioned to fit the bottom end section of the body, the protective sleeve being formed from a heat resistant material.
15. The water pipe of claim 1 , wherein the bottom end section has a cross section that lies on a first plane, wherein the opening has a cross section that lies on a second plane that is acutely angled relative to the first plane, and wherein the acute angle formation of the opening is adapted to reduce neck strain and a risk of fluid within the well from being spilled when a user engages with the opening.
16. A water pipe comprising:
a removable bowl including a bowl stem;
a tab including a hole dimensioned to fit a diameter of the bowl stem; and
a body including:
a top end section;
a bottom end section terminating at a base;
an opening at the top end section; and
an indent extending from the top end section to the bottom end section,
the indent including a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion including an indent opening dimensioned to receive the bowl stem and the top portion including a recess formed from the body to provide a shelving structure for one or more fingers of a user to securely grip the water pipe;
wherein both the body and the indent gradually taper from the top end section to the bottom end section.
17. The water pipe of claim 16 , wherein the body further includes:
a well extending from the opening to the bottom end section.
18. The water pipe of claim 16 , wherein the bottom end section has a cross section that lies on a first plane, wherein the opening has a cross section that lies on a second plane that is acutely angled relative to the first plane.
19. A water pipe comprising:
a removable bowl including a bowl stem;
a tab including a hole dimensioned to fit a diameter of the bowl stem; and
a body including:
a top end section;
a bottom end section terminating at a base and having a cross section that lies on a first plane;
an opening at the top end section, the opening having a cross section that lies on a second plane that is acutely angled relative to the first plane;
a well extending from the opening to the bottom end section; and
an indent extending from the top end section to the bottom end section, the indent including a top portion and bottom portion, the bottom portion including an indent opening and dimensioned to receive the bowl stem and the top portion including a recess formed from the body to provide a shelving structure for one or more fingers of a user to securely grip the water pipe.
20. The water pipe of claim 19 , wherein the indent gradually tapers from the top end section to the bottom end section.
