  • Patent number: 11208240
    Abstract: A filling system for an electronic cigarette (10) is disclosed in which a nozzle (38) of a liquid dispenser (80) contains a plunger (62) which is biased by a spring (60) into a closed position in which liquid is prevented from flowing through the nozzle (38). In use the nozzle (38) is inserted into an open end (42) of a liquid reservoir (34) for an electronic cigarette containing an air tube (32). The plunger (62) engages with the end of the air tube (32) blocking the air tube (32) and opening the liquid flow path through the nozzle (38). The arrangement of the plunger (62) and nozzle (38) is such that operation of the plunger (62) only occurs when the nozzle (38) engaged within a liquid reservoir (32). A membrane (96) can be provided to prevent leakage from the liquid reservoir (34) when the nozzle (38) is disengaged.

  • Publication number: 20210394281
    Abstract: Disclosed are a drill and an insert for a drill having improved centering capability and cutting performance. In the drill of the present disclosure, central relief surfaces of cutting parts are processed as flat relief surfaces, and outer circumferential relief surfaces continuing from the center part to the outer circumferential surface of the drill are processed as curved relief surfaces, thereby enhancing the centering capability of the drill and minimizing the generation of drill vibration and burrs. In addition, in the drill of the present disclosure, the outer relief surfaces of the drill in contact with a hole to be drilled are processed such that an angle between the tangential lines of the outer relief surfaces is constant regardless of the size of the outer diameter of the drill, thereby achieving consistent performance of the drill despite change in the outer diameter of the drill.
