Definitions

• the present invention concerns an electronic smoking substitutive device, commonly known as electronic cigarette.
• the electronic cigarettes generally contain a rechargeable electric battery, an atomizer powered by a battery and a container for the liquid to be vaporized placed in contact with the smoke atomizer.
• the battery, the atomizer and the liquid container are housed inside a casing of elongated shape which reproduces also visually the shape of a normal cigarette.
• certain electronic cigarettes types are known, in which the liquid container is placed inside a portion of the tubular casing that simulates the filter of the cigarette and is inserted in the atomizer associated with the battery, which is placed inside a distal portion of the tubular casing simulating the cylindrical body of the cigarette.
• the liquid solution in the container vaporizes and can be inhaled by the user.
• the dose of liquid solution contained in the container is such as to allow, once vaporized, a predetermined number of inhalations.
• An electronic smoking substitutive device of such type is described for example in patent application GB 2465247.
• Such device is made up of a tube containing a tank which contains a liquid comprising an inhalable substance, for example an aqueous solution of nicotine and other flavorings.
• the device also comprises a heating element which is in direct contact with the tank.
• the heating element is suitable to be powered by a rechargeable electric battery.
• the tank is not removable from the tube without breaking or destroying other parts of the same device. Therefore, the device is of disposable type, like a normal cigarette, that is, when the contents of the tank are exhausted, the whole device is trashed.
• a different type of electronic smoking substitutive device illustrated for example in patent application US2013/0081642, comprises a first tubular unit, inside which the electric battery is housed, and a second tubular unit, also known as cartomizer, which, in use, is axially coupled with the first unit and carries, inside, the tank for the liquid solution and the atomizer, positioned in contact with the tank.
• cartomizer is disposable, while the battery unit is reusable.
• Patent application WO2013/040193 discloses an electronic cigarette having a first portion, which is a tubular reusable element housing electric components, including a rechargeable battery and a heating element.
• a second portion is hermetically coupled with the tubular element and can be periodically replaced.
• Such replaceable portion contains a cartridge with the material to be vaporized, for example synthetic cotton fibre saturated with a mixture of polyethylene glycol, nicotine and other flavorings.
• the first portion allows the passage of hot air when the user draws air through a mouthpiece placed at the end of the cigarette.
• the hot air flows through the volatile material, providing the user with the vaporized nicotine or other substances to be inhaled.
• the cartridge allows to perform 150 to 200 inhalations. Since the atomizer is separated from the cartridge containing the volatile substance, the cost of the replaceable piece is reduced.
• the currently most widespread electronic cigarettes provide, as container of the inhalable liquid, a refillable tank associated with the tubular body, in which the electric battery and the atomizer are housed.
• This tank is suitable to contain a suitable amount of liquid.
• the tank has sufficient capacity to allow a continued use of the electronic cigarette, for example, for one or more days, depending of course on the individual habits, that is, on the frequency with which the user normally uses the device.
• the tank is filled with the suitable amount of liquid; when the amount of liquid is exhausted, the user shall remove the tank from the body of the device and refill it by drawing from a suitable bottle.
• the task of the present invention is that of solving the aforementioned problems, by devising an electronic smoking substitutive device which does not require a frequent refilling of the tank for the liquid.
• a further scope of the present invention is that of providing an electronic smoking substitutive device which ensures, in use, the best hygienic conditions.
