Abstract

A hookah system for a smoking product may comprise a head assembly and a base assembly. The head assembly may include a capsule, a cavity member, a bowl, and a ring. The capsule may include a capsule base, a capsule sidewall with a capsule interlock, and a capsule shelf. The cavity member may include a cavity base with a shaft extending therefrom and about an axis, a cavity sidewall with a cavity interlock configured to be positioned in at least a portion of the capsule interlock, and a cavity shelf. The bowl may include a bowl sidewall and a bowl base configured to engage the shaft. The ring may be configured to be positioned between the cavity member and the bowl.

Claims (23)

1. A hookah system for a smoking product, comprising:

a head assembly including

a cavity member having a cavity base with a cavity dome extending upwardly from the cavity base and a shaft extending downwardly from the cavity base and defining a passage about a central axis, a cavity sidewall extending upwardly from the cavity base and having a curved portion including a cavity interlock with a round surface configured to be positioned in at least a corresponding round surface of a corresponding member, the curved portion being configured to facilitate airflow between the cavity member and the corresponding member, and a cavity shelf extending outwardly from the cavity sidewall;

a bowl having a bowl base and a bowl sidewall extending from the bowl base, the bowl base having an aperture configured to engage the shaft; and

a ring configured to be positioned between the cavity member and the bowl.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding member is associated with a capsule having a capsule base, a capsule sidewall extending upwardly from the capsule base and having the capsule interlock, and a capsule shelf extending outwardly from the capsule sidewall.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the capsule includes an internal breaker extending inwardly in a radial direction from the capsule sidewall.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the capsule includes a capsule dome extending from the capsule base and including capsule dome holes.
