Abstract
A mouthpiece assembly for use with a vaporizer device includes a mouthpiece having an opening formed axially therethrough from a first end to an opposing second end thereof and an inner tubular member configured to be slidably received within the opening of the mouthpiece. A sliding of the inner tubular member within the opening of the mouthpiece changes an axial length of the mouthpiece assembly to allow for the mouthpiece assembly to be coupled to a variety of different outer tubular members of differing axial lengths that are compatible for use with the mouthpiece assembly for forming the resulting vaporizer device.
Claims17
A mouthpiece assembly for use with a vaporizer device, the mouthpiece assembly comprising:
- a mouthpiece having a first opening formed axially therethrough from a first end to an opposing second end of the mouthpiece;
- an inner tubular member configured to be slidably received within the first opening at the second end of the mouthpiece, the inner tubular member having a second opening formed axially therethrough from a first end to an opposing second end of the inner tubular member, wherein the first end of the inner tubular member is disposed within the first opening and the second end of the inner tubular member is disposed exterior to the first opening when the inner tubular member is slidably received within the first opening, wherein a sliding of the inner tubular member within the first opening changes an axial length of a first flow path through the mouthpiece assembly formed by cooperation of the first opening and the second opening and extending from the first end of the mouthpiece to the second end of the inner tubular member;
- and
- at least one first sealing element, each of the at least one sealing elements disposed between an inner surface of the mouthpiece defining the first opening thereof and an outer surface of the inner tubular member when the inner tubular member is received within the first opening, each of the at least one sealing elements extending annularly around the outer surface of the inner tubular member in a circumferential direction thereof to form an annular seal between the inner tubular member and the mouthpiece when the inner tubular member is slidably received within the first opening.
A method of assembling a vaporizer device including the steps of:
- providing a mouthpiece assembly comprising:
- a mouthpiece having a first opening formed axially therethrough from a first end to an opposing second end of the mouthpiece, and
- an inner tubular member configured to be slidably received within the first opening, the inner tubular member having a second opening formed axially therethrough from a first end to an opposing second end of the inner tubular member;
- inserting the first end of the inner tubular member into the first opening at the second end of the mouthpiece;
- sliding the inner tubular member axially relative to the mouthpiece to adjust an axial length of a first flow path through the mouthpiece assembly formed by cooperation of the first opening and the second opening and extending from the first end of the mouthpiece to the second end of the inner tubular member;
- and
- coupling an outer tubular member to the mouthpiece.
