Patent number: 11925208Abstract: A reservoir assembly that holds a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation in a reservoir includes a reservoir assembly connector assembly defining a connector conduit, and which may be configured to detachably couple with a non-nicotine vaporizer assembly based on a connector element of the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly engaging with the connector conduit of the connector conduit. The reservoir assembly may include an isolation structure configured to move in relation to both the reservoir and the non-nicotine vaporizer connector assembly between a first position where the isolation structure exposes the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly to the reservoir and at least partially obstructs the connector conduit to restrict the connector element from disengaging from the connector conduit, and a second position where the isolation structure isolates the non-nicotine vaporizer assembly from the reservoir and opens the connector conduit to enable the connector element to disengage from the connector conduit.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Altria Client Services LLCInventors: Eric Hawes, Raymond W. Lau, Jose Jesus Paolo Montalvan, John Paul Muring
