Abstract
A tray (50) configured for receiving replaceable portions (26, 26′) of an electronic smoking device (10) is disclosed. The tray (50) has cavities (52) each configured for receiving a replaceable portion (26, 26′) for being releasably clamped therein. The replaceable portion (26, 26′) is releasably clamped by a movement (R) with respect to the tray (50).
Claims19
A tray (50) for replaceable portions (26, 26′), the replaceable portions (26, 26′) being configured for releasable attachment to an electronic smoking device (10), the tray (50) comprising a plurality of cavities (52) each configured for receiving one of the replaceable portion (26, 26′), wherein each replaceable portion (26, 26′) can be releasably clamped therein by a first movement (R) with respect to the tray (50);
- wherein the cavities (52) are arranged along a furrow (54) extending in a first direction (X), wherein a pressure on the tray (50) in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction (X) increases a width of the cavities (52) such that the replaceable portion (26, 26′) can be received, and wherein a pressure reduction decreases the width of the cavities (52) such that the received replaceable portion (26, 26′) is releasably clamped.
A tray for replaceable portions configured for releasable attachment to an electronic smoking device, the tray comprising:
- a plurality of cavities in a line extending in a first direction, wherein an opening force on the tray in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction increases a width of at least one of the cavities such that a replaceable portion can be received in the at least one cavity, and wherein release of the opening force decreases the width of the at least one cavity and clamps the replaceable portion.
