Abstract
An e-vaping device includes a first section capable of containing a liquid material. The first section includes a heater capable of vaporizing the liquid material, a wick capable of drawing the liquid material to the heater, and a male threaded connector with first threads having a non-standard pitch. The e-vaping device also includes a second section with a power supply. The second section includes a female threaded connector with second threads having a non-standard pitch that mate with the non-standard pitch of the first threads of the first section.
Claims9
An e-vapor device, comprising:
- a first section, the first section including,
- an outer cylindrical tube extending in a longitudinal direction,
- an inner cylindrical tube within the outer cylindrical tube,
- a liquid supply comprising a liquid material, the liquid supply contained in an outer annulus between the outer cylindrical tube and the inner cylindrical tube,
- a heater located in the inner cylindrical tube,
- a wick in communication with the liquid supply and in communication with the heater,
- a mouth piece in fluid communication the inner cylindrical tube at a proximal end of the first section, and
- a male threaded connector at a distal end of the first section, the male threaded connector having first threads with a non-standard pitch;
- and
- a second section, the second section including,
- a power supply, and
- a female threaded connector at a proximal end of the second section, the female threaded connector having second threads mating with the non-standard pitch of the first threads,
- wherein values of nominal dimensions of the first and second threads, other than the non-standard pitch of the first and second threads, are standard nominal dimensions determined by international standards organization (ISO) Standard Number 68-1:1998 using a standard pitch of 0.75 mm, the non-standard pitch for the first and second threads being 0.6 mm.
