From what I've read it has to do with the cone shape being able to stabilize and funnel the foam head to one point sort of like how you can increase the velocity of the water coming out of a hose by putting your thumb over the exit hole. It is essentially taking the sloped neck design of most modern skimmers and applying it to the whole body. The jury still seems to be out on how much more effective it is than a "standard" cylindrical skimmer body. Apparently Bubble King looked at a cone design recently and abandoned it.
