Abstract
An electronic cigarette device includes an elongate main body including a power supply unit, electrical circuitry and a seating for a liquid reservoir. Front and back panels are slidably attached to the elongate main body and configured to move in the longitudinal direction between an extended position and a retracted position. The panels include connectors configured to slide on rail members in a longitudinal direction. The connectors include a movable portion that is movable relative to a fixed portion, and which allows movement of the panel in a direction that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rail members.
Claims18
An electronic cigarette device comprising:
- an elongate main body configured to house a liquid reservoir,
- at least one slideable panel connected to the elongate main body and moveable in relation to the elongate main body in a longitudinal direction of the elongate main body between an extended position and a retracted position, whereby the liquid reservoir is exposed or more exposed when the at least one slideable panel is in the retracted position,
- wherein one of the elongate main body and the at least one slideable panel comprises at least one guide member and the other of the elongate main body and the at least one slideable panel comprises at least one connector configured to connect to the at least one guide member,
- and wherein the at least one connector is connected to the at least one guide member such that the at least one slideable panel is slideably moveable relative to the elongate main body in the longitudinal direction and is also movable in a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
