Effects of InventionTherefore, the subject invention has the advantages of easy and simple battery recharge and/or replacement because taking out the battery from the power supply part is made possible, as well as not having to buy separate chargers that are different in size by manufacturers but simply using the existing charger for easy recharge.
In addition, since only the battery needs to be replaced when it dies or is not working, it has the effect of lessening economic burden on the consumer.
The subject invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the attached figures.
The subject invention relates to the e-cigarette consisting of an inlet built for a user to inhale through by contact of the user's mouth, a cartridge (10) that is located below said inlet having a storage part in which the liquid containing nicotine is stored, a combustion part (20) that is formed to have the storage part of said cartridge (10) be interpolated into its upper part while housing an atomizer to burn the liquid in said storage part, and a power supply part (30) that is connected to the base of said combustion part in order to supply the power, and as shown in
At this time, said main body (100) is equipped with threads (110) on the outside of its upper portion for conjoining with said combustion part (20), has a power connection terminal (120) in its upper center, is equipped with a switch (130) protruding outward and located on the upper side of perimeter to authorize the power supply, and has at the bottom portion a plurality of coupling holes (140) formed to face each other.
At this time, said switch (130) has a transparent or translucent luminous part (131) around the outer perimeter, and it is preferable to have it indicated by lighting of LED member (not show in Fig) that is built in the control part (200) as the switch (130) operates on or off.
In other words, it is intended that the user is able to check not only whether the switch (130) is in operation, but also to check when to recharge the battery (300) based on its consumption level.
Meanwhile, said control part (200) is to perform the same role as in the existing standard cigarettes so the detailed description will be omitted.
In addition, said battery (300) is electrically connected with said control part (200) and functions to selectively supply the power to the combustion part (20) through said power connecting terminal (120) based on said switch's (130) operation.
Meanwhile, said opening/closing part (400) is conjoined at the base of said main body (100) and has a grounding spring (419) on its upper side and protrusion docking buttons (420) on the sides that correspond to said coupling holes (140).
At this time, the preferred form of said protrusion docking buttons (420) is to have them always project outward by equipping within the body of the opening/closing part (400) an elastic spring (421).
In other words, when conjoining the main body (100) and the opening/closing part (400), said protrusion docking buttons (420) penetrate through the coupling holes (140) and protrude outward of the main body (100), which brings about a firm tightening of these parts together.
At this time, it is preferred to have a plurality of said coupling holes (140) and protrusion docking buttons (420) that are facing each other in corresponding direction.
In other words, since e-cigarettes are usually kept in a case or are always carried on the person by placing separate neck strings on them for wearing, placing the protrusion docking buttons (420) on both sides to keep the opening/closing part (400) from being separated by user error helps to bring about a firm tightening of the parts together and also prevent losing the opening/closing part (400).
Also, as shown in
Since such opening/closing part (400) does not have a part protruding towards the external of the main body (100), there is an advantage of likely increasing the esthetic appeal of the e-cigarette.
Therefore, the subject invention is built have the structure of the aforementioned main body (100) and opening/closing part (400) which allows the battery (300) to be taken out, so it gives an advantage of simple and easy recharge and/or replacement of the battery (300).
In addition, when one is on the move for an extended period of time, such as traveling, there is no need for a separate charger as a means of power supply for the e-cigarette but simply having the relatively easy to carry spare batteries to replace the dead battery will allow one continually use the e-cigarette.
The subject invention is not limited to the above-described preferred methods, and anyone who has common knowledge in the relevant technology field to which the subject invention belongs is capable to implement various modified methods of practicing the subject invention, without falling outside of the scope of what is essentially claimed in the claim section of the subjection invention, and any such modifications in practice are well within the scope of what is claimed by the subjection invention.
