Abstract
A reservoir for inhalant product used in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens is provided which incorporates a convex or conical smooth bottom wall catch basin that, combined with a dual wick design, ensures that substantially all the inhalant product is directed to the wicks for maximum consumability of the inhalant product. Therefore, regardless of how much or how little oil/liquid inhalant product is remaining in the reservoir or the position of the reservoir, it is always being directed toward at least one wick so there is substantially no unusable space in the reservoir where product can collect and not be useable.
Description
RESERVOIR FOR USE IN ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AND ELECTRONIC PENS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention deals with reservoirs for use in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens. More particularly, the reservoir of the present invention incorporates a convex catch basin for its bottom wall which, when combined with a dual wick design, ensures that all product is directed to the wicks for maximized use of the inhalant product within the reservoir. Therefore, regardless of how much or how little oil/liquid inhalant remains in the reservoir, or the relative position thereof, it is always being directed toward the wicks so there is no unusable space in the reservoir where product can collect and be wasted.
BACKGROUND
Heretofore reservoirs of this type are known to have incorporated a substantially centralized single siphon wick which allows inhalant product to be left in the tank which is unable to be wicked to the vaporizing area. Also, a single wicking point or wick increases the likelihood of failure if the wick should become clogged or degraded.
Further, the prior art reservoirs all have a substantially, flat inside base or bottom wall with a wick about 7 cm higher than the base. What this means is that when the wick has vaporized the e-liquid inhalant product it can contact, there will typically always be a little product left at the bottom, below the wick which cannot be contacted by the wick and burned. When the wick becomes dried out and is burned, it produce an undesirable burned taste as it is not be able to burn all the remaining e-liquid inhalant product, and creates waste and means money lost for the buyer.
The proposed reservoir or tank of the present invention includes a convex shaped bottom wall. The material of the bottom is smooth so that the e-liquid inhalant product easily travels down to the outer bottom edge of the central convex shaped bottom wall to at least one of the dual wicks with which the bottom is in contact. The dual wicks delivers the e-liquid inhalant product to a vaporization chamber, and the convex shape of the bottom provides that substantially all of the e-liquid inhalant product will all be used, without any substantial waste and therefore substantially no money lost for the buyer. Moreover, the dual ended wick stays wet so that a burned taste is not produced.
lo SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention there is provided a reservoir for inhalant product used in electronic cigarettes and electronic pens which incorporates a bottom wall convex catch basin that, combined with a dual wick design, ensures that substantially all the inhalant product is directed to at least one of the dual wicks for maximized use of the inhalant product held therewithin. Therefore, regardless of how much or how little oil/liquid inhalant product is in the reservoir, it is always being directed toward at least one of the dual wicks so there is substantially no unusable space in the reservoir where inhalant product can collect and become waste.

In a standard prior art cartridge or reservoir 1, a wick 2 is usually a one-piece siphon wick, which sticks up through the middle of the tank or reservoir 1, as shown in Figure 1. This one-piece siphon wick 2 creates two primary functionality issues. First, there is approximately 5 millimeters of space where inhalant product can collect underneath the wick 2 which leads to a significant portion of the product remaining unused and unusable in the reservoir 1. This is especially true for thicker oil inhalant products, which tend to collect along the bottom of the reservoir 1 near a silicone spacer (not shown) and cannot be moved to the wick 2 unless the reservoir 1 is heated and tilted, and even then there is no way to get all of the collected oil product to the wick 2. Secondly, because there is only a single pathway from the top of the wick 2 through the silicone component and into the vaporization coil, any overload of the wick's capacity or degradation of the wick 2 material due to plant matter and/or essential fatty acids in the plant oil creates a product failure either through leaking or through loss of functionality of the wicking process, which leads to no oil being delivered to the vaporization element. This creates the very common "burnt" or "metallic" taste which is produced by such single wick reservoirs 1.

5 In the present embodiment of an inhalant reservoir 10 presented here, and which is shown from its exterior in Figure 2, the issues noted in the prior art have been addressed through the design of a molded, convex or conical silicone bottom wall catch basin 12 and a dual wick 14, 16 design. The convex or conical smooth bottom wall 12 ensures that all oil inhalant product (not shown) is funneled to at least one of the two wicks 14, 16 in the cartridge or reservoir 10, regardless of how much or how little oil inhalant product (not shown) is in the reservoir 10. In one embodiment, the basin 12 is made of silicone. Additionally, the dual-wick 14, 16 configuration allows for controlled saturation of the vaporization element, preventing both the overload or the drying out of the wick 14, 16 along the vaporization element 20 (Figure 3). This not only prevents the burned or metallic taste from occurring, it also prevents the degradation of the wicks which may cause cartridge or reservoir 10 failure. In some embodiments, the wick 14, 16 is a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16. An example of such an embodiment with an externally wrapped vaporization element 20 may be seen in Figure 3. In another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16. In yet another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16. An example of such an embodiment with an externally wrapped vaporization element 20 may be seen in Figure 3. In another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16.
As best illustrated in Figure 3, the present embodiment of the inhalant cartridge 10 of the present invention incorporates all the structures known by those skilled in the art and so will not be addressed here. Only the modifications to the prior art are described herein and it will be understood that such modifications may be applied to any cartridge/tank style reservoir, making then modifications substantially universal. Again, in Figure 3, it will be seen that the bottom wall has been modified to comprise a molded, convex or conical silicone bottom wall catch basin 12. Also, two wicks 14 and 16 extend along edges of the basin 12 at opposite positions along a circumference of the basin 12, each being diametrically opposite to the other. This configuration allows for the inhalant product in the reservoir 10 to be in contact with at least one of the dual wicks 14, 16 regardless of how much or how little product is in the reservoir 10 and regardless of what position the reservoir 10 is maintained. As stated above, the modifications prevent a burned taste from occurring and prevent degradation of the wicks 14, 16 which may cause failure of the reservoir 10. As discussed above, the wick 14, 16 may be a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16 as can be seen in Figure 3. The wick 14, 16 may also be a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16 in another embodiment. In yet another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16 as can be seen in Figure 3. In another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16.
As described above, the inhalant cartridge 10 provides a number of advantages, some of which have been described above and others of which are inherent in the invention. Also, modifications may be proposed without departing from the teachings
As best illustrated in Figure 3, the present embodiment of the inhalant cartridge 10 of the present invention incorporates all the structures known by those skilled in the art and so will not be addressed here.

This configuration allows for the inhalant product in the reservoir 10 to be in contact with at least one of the dual wicks 14, 16 regardless of how much or how little product is in the reservoir 10 and regardless of what position the reservoir 10 is maintained. As stated above, the modifications prevent a burned taste from occurring and prevent degradation of the wicks 14, 16 which may cause failure of the reservoir 10. As discussed above, the wick 14, 16 may be a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16 as can be seen in Figure 3. The wick 14, 16 may also be a glass fiber wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16 in another embodiment. In yet another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 externally wrapped around the wick 14, 16 as can be seen in Figure 3. In another embodiment, the wick 14, 16 may be a ceramic wick with a vaporization element 20 embedded in the wick 14, 16.
As described above, the inhalant cartridge 10 provides a number of advantages, some of which have been described above and others of which are inherent in the invention. Also, modifications may be proposed without departing from the teachings
