Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a housing. A rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA) deck on the housing supports first and second spaced terminal posts connected to first ends of respective first and second heating coils. A central column terminal has a central post received within a central orifice of the RDA deck and engages a battery contained in the housing. A transverse support is spaced above the terminal posts and onto which second ends of respective first and second heating coils are clamped. An insulator separates the central post from the RDA deck. A switch is carried by the housing and connected to the electrical circuit and completes the electrical circuit to energize the heating coils and vaporize juice contained on at least one wick held by the heating coils.
Claims28
An electronic cigarette, comprising:
- a housing configured to hold a battery;
- a rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA) deck formed of a conductive material and supported by said housing and having a central orifice and first and second spaced terminal posts configured to connect to first ends of respective first and second heating coils;
- a central column terminal comprising a central post received within the central orifice of the RDA deck that engages the battery, and a transverse support carried by the central post and spaced above the terminal posts onto which second ends of respective first and second heating coils are positioned;
- a clamp bar secured onto the transverse support and fixing the second ends of the heating coils in place on the transverse support;
- an insulator received within the central orifice of the RDA deck and insulating electrically the central post from the RDA deck;
- an electrical circuit connecting the battery and RDA deck;
- and
- a switch carried by the housing and connected to the electrical circuit, wherein when closed, said switch completes the electrical circuit and energizes the heating coils to vaporize juice contained on at least one wick held by the heating coils.
An electronic cigarette, comprising:
- a housing comprising a metallic tube and having a first closed end and a second end and configured to hold a battery having a positive pole adjacent the first end of the housing and a negative pole adjacent the second end of the housing;
- a metallic rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA) deck supported at the first closed end of the housing and configured to support first and second heating coils and having a central orifice and first and second spaced terminal posts configured to connect to first ends of respective first and second heating coils;
- a central column terminal comprising a central post received within the central orifice of the RDA deck that engages the positive pole of the battery held within the housing, and a transverse support carried by the central post and spaced above the terminal posts onto which second ends of respective first and second heating coils are positioned;
- a clamp bar secured onto the transverse support and fixing the second ends of the heating coils in place on the transverse support;
- a sleeve formed of an insulator material and received within the central orifice of the RDA deck and having an orifice that receives the central post and electrically insulates the central post from the RDA deck;
- and
- a switch at the second end of the housing, wherein when closed, said switch completes an electrical circuit from the negative pole of the battery through the housing to the RDA deck and energizes the heating coils to vaporize juice contained on at least one wick held by the heating coils, said switch further comprising a button assembly having a button and firing pin mechanism for completing the electrical circuit when the button is depressed.
A rebuildable dripping atomizer (RDA) apparatus, comprising:
- a metallic RDA deck having a threaded protrusion configured to connect to a housing of an electronic cigarette and wherein said RDA deck has a central orifice and first and second spaced terminal posts configured to connect to first ends of respective first and second heating coils and a cylindrically configured, recessed well to hold juice;
- a central column terminal comprising a central post received within the central orifice of the RDA deck and configured to engage a battery held within the housing to which the RDA deck is connected, and a transverse support carried by the central post and spaced above the terminal posts onto which second ends of respective first and second heating coils are positioned;
- a clamp bar secured onto the transverse support and fixing the second ends of the heating coils in place on the transverse support;
- and
- a sleeve formed of an insulator material and received within the central orifice of the RDA deck and having an orifice that receives the central post and electrically insulates the central post from the RDA deck.
