Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung für elektrisch betriebene Rauchartikel, insbesondere E-Zigaretten, mit wenigstens einer Basis, und mit mehreren auf der Basis angeordneten und durch wenigstens einen Steg voneinander getrennten Aufnahmefächern für den betreffenden Rauchartikel und/oder Einzelteile des Rauchartikels, beispielsweise einen Verdampferkopf, einen Flüssigkeitsbehälter oder ein Mundstück.The invention relates to a holding device for electrically operated smoking articles, in particular e-cigarettes, with at least one base, and arranged on the base and separated by at least one web receiving compartments for the relevant smoking article and / or items of the smoking article, such as an evaporator head, a liquid container or mouthpiece.
Elektrisch betriebene Rauchartikel und insbesondere E-Zigaretten erfreuen sich wachsender Verbreitung. Das liegt zum einen an der einfachen Handhabung, welche insbesondere ein zusätzliches Feuerzeug entbehrlich macht. Zum anderen kann über die in Rauch umgewandelte Flüssigkeit nicht nur der jeweils eingeatmete Nikotingehalt gesteuert werden, sondern lassen sich auch ganz verschiedene Geschmacksrichtungen realisieren. Bisherigen und herkömmlichen Zigaretten ist eine solche Variabilität im Geschmack und Nikotingehalt fremd.Electrically powered smoking articles and in particular e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular. This is partly due to the ease of use, which in particular makes an additional lighter dispensable. On the other hand, not only the respectively inhaled nicotine content can be controlled via the liquid converted into smoke, but also very different flavors can be realized. Previous and conventional cigarettes have such variability in taste and nicotine content.
E-Zigaretten setzen sich aus einem Akkumulator und insbesondere Lithium-Ionen Akkumulator, einem Verdampferkopf und schließlich einem Flüssigkeitsbehälter oder Tank sowie einem Mundstück zusammen. Mithilfe des Akkumulators wird der mit der Flüssigkeit getränkte Verdampferkopf erhitzt, so dass die Flüssigkeit verdampft. Über das Mundstück kann nun der Dampf eingeatmet bzw. geraucht werden.E-cigarettes are composed of an accumulator and in particular lithium-ion accumulator, an evaporator head and finally a liquid container or tank and a mouthpiece. By means of the accumulator, the evaporator head soaked with the liquid is heated, so that the liquid evaporates. About the mouthpiece, the steam can now be inhaled or smoked.
Bei einer solchen E-Zigarette sind in der Regel das Mundstück, der Tank bzw. Flüssigkeitsbehälter für die eigentliche Rauchflüssigkeit bzw. das sogenannte "Liquid" und schließlich der Verdampferkopf als jeweils abnehmbare Komponenten ausgelegt. Durch die Abnehmbarkeit kann der Verdampferkopf beispielhaft gereinigt werden und lassen sich die einzelnen Flüssigkeitsbehälter austauschen bzw. kann der zugehörige Tank fertig gekauft oder selber befüllt werden. Diese verschiedenen Einzelteile des Rauchartikels bzw. der E-Zigarette müssen für den bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch miteinander vereinigt werden. Das geschieht üblicherweise durch an dieser Stelle realisierte Steckverbindungen. Ein erfolgreicher Zusammenbau setzt allerdings voraus, dass die Einzelteile vollständig vorhanden sind.In such an e-cigarette usually the mouthpiece, the tank or liquid container for the actual smoke liquid or the so-called "liquid" and finally the evaporator head are designed as removable components. Due to the removability of the evaporator head can be cleaned as an example and can replace the individual liquid container or the associated tank can be bought ready or filled yourself. These various items of the smoking article or the e-cigarette must be combined with each other for the intended use. This is usually done by realized at this point connectors. However, a successful assembly requires that the individual parts are completely present.
Aus diesem Grund werden im gattungsbildenden Stand der Technik nach der
Neben der zum Teil aufwändigen Zugänglichkeit solcher Schachteln ist zu berücksichtigen, dass ihr zur Verfügung gestelltes Volumen für die Einzelteile des Rauchartikels naturgemäß begrenzt ist. Insbesondere fortgeschrittene Anwender von E-Zigaretten wünschen sich jedoch ein Aufbewahrungssystem, welches ihren verschiedenen Vorlieben Rechnung trägt. Ein solches Aufnahmesystem sollte beispielsweise geeignet sein, eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen Flüssigkeitsbehältern oder auch Mundstücken aufnehmen zu können, um diese wahlweise mit einer oder mehreren vorhandenen E-Zigaretten zu kombinieren. Die bisherigen und portablen Lösungen lassen eine solche umfangreiche Bevorratung nicht zu.In addition to the sometimes complex accessibility of such boxes is to be considered that their volume provided for the individual parts of the smoking article is naturally limited. However, advanced users of e-cigarettes, in particular, want a storage system that accommodates their various preferences. Such a recording system should be suitable, for example, a variety of to accommodate different liquid containers or mouthpieces to combine them with either one or more existing e-cigarettes. The previous and portable solutions do not allow such extensive stocking.
Daneben werden im Stand der Technik noch Haltevorrichtungen beschrieben, die jeweils einzeln zur Halterung der zugehörigen E-Zigarette eingerichtet und ausgelegt sind. Ein Beispiel hierfür wird in der
Eine andere Lösung beschreibt das Gebrauchsmuster
Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, eine derartige Haltevorrichtung für elektrisch betriebene Rauchartikel und insbesondere E-Zigaretten zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche die einzelnen bevorrateten Einzelteile des Rauchartikels einfach zugänglich bevorratet und die Möglichkeit eröffnet, variabel auf unterschiedliche Anzahlen an Rauchartikeln reagieren zu können.The invention is based on the technical problem of providing such a holding device for electrically operated smoking articles and, in particular, e-cigarettes, which stores the individual stored individual parts of the smoking article in an easily accessible manner and opens up the possibility of being able to react variably to different numbers of smoking articles.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung ist eine gattungsgemäße Haltevorrichtung im Rahmen der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Basis inklusive zumindest einer umlaufenden Umfangswand für die nach oben offenen und zugänglichen Aufnahmefächer als einstückiges Formteil ausgebildet ist.To solve this technical problem, a generic holding device in the invention is characterized in that the base is formed including at least one circumferential wall for the upwardly open and accessible receiving compartments as a one-piece molding.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung wird zunächst einmal neben der obligatorischen Basis mit einer insgesamt umlaufenden und folglich überwiegend geschlossenen Umfangswand gearbeitet. Innerhalb dieser Umfangswand können die einzelnen und nach oben hin offenen sowie nach oben hin zugänglichen Aufnahmefächer definiert werden. Das heißt, die Aufnahmefächer sind unmittelbar zugänglich, und zwar ohne dass etwaige Deckel geöffnet, Schubladen ausgezogen werden müssen etc. Außerdem sorgt die einstückige Auslegung der Basis inklusive zumindest der umlaufenden Umfangswand für eine kostengünstige Fertigung und variable Anpassung an die jeweils gewünschten Aufnahmefächer hinsichtlich Größe und Anzahl.In the context of the invention, in addition to the obligatory base with a total circumferential and therefore predominantly closed peripheral wall is first worked. Within this peripheral wall, the individual and upwardly open and accessible to the top storage compartments can be defined. That is, the receiving compartments are directly accessible, without having to open any lid, drawers must be pulled out, etc. In addition, the one-piece design of the base including at least the peripheral circumferential wall ensures cost-effective production and variable adaptation to the respective desired storage compartments in size and Number.
Tatsächlich wird meistens so vorgegangen, dass der wenigstens eine Steg als in Steckaufnahmen in der Umfangswand eingreifende Stecklamelle ausgebildet ist. Die Stecklamelle kann im Querschnitt bogenförmig ausgelegt sein. Außerdem hat es sich in diesem Zusammenhang als günstig erwiesen, wenn die Umfangswand zumindest in Teilbereichen in Aufsicht bogenförmig gestaltet ist.In fact, in most cases the procedure is that the at least one web is designed as a plug-in lamella engaging in plug-in receptacles in the peripheral wall. The plug-in blade can be designed arcuate in cross-section. In addition, it has proven to be beneficial in this context, if the peripheral wall is designed arcuate at least in some areas in supervision.
Die Bogenform des Teilbereiches der Umfangswand und die Bogenform der Stecklamelle sind im Allgemeinen aneinander angepasst. Auf diese Weise kann zumindest ein insgesamt angenähert kreisförmig ausgebildetes Aufnahmefach definiert werden. Dieses angenähert kreisförmig ausgebildete Aufnahmefach ist dabei vorteilhaft an die Größe und Ausprägung des hierin jeweils aufgenommenen Einzelteils des Rauchartikels angepasst. Hierbei kann es sich um den Verdampferkopf, den Flüssigkeitsbehälter oder auch das Mundstück oder andere Einzelteile handeln, die aufgrund des meistens zylindrischen Charakters des betreffenden Rauchartikels ebenfalls zylindrisch ausgelegt sind und folgerichtig ein Aufnahmefach mit angenähert kreisförmiger Gestaltung zu ihrer einwandfreien Halterung benötigen. Durch die als in Steckaufnahmen in der Umfangswand eingreifende Stecklamellen ausgebildeten Stege wird bereits eine große Variabilität erreicht.The arc shape of the portion of the peripheral wall and the arc shape of the plug-in blade are generally adapted to each other. In this way, at least one generally approximately circular trained receiving compartment can be defined. This approximately circular trained receiving compartment is advantageous to the size and expression of each herein adapted item of the smoking article adapted. This may be the evaporator head, the liquid container or the mouthpiece or other items that are also designed cylindrical due to the mostly cylindrical nature of the subject smoking article and logically need a receptacle with approximately circular design for proper support. By designed as plug-in receptacles in the peripheral wall plug-in webs formed a large variability is already achieved.
Im Rahmen einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird so vorgegangen, dass die Umfangswand und der zumindest eine Steg einstückig ausgelegt sind. In diesem Fall sind die Basis, die Umfangswand und der eine Steg oder die mehreren Stege als insgesamt einstückiges Bauteil ausgebildet. Dieses Bauteil kann besonders kostengünstig hergestellt werden. Außerdem macht die Erfindung sich hierbei zunutze, dass die Einzelteile der E-Zigaretten bzw. Rauchartikel meistens genormt sind und dementsprechend eine Variabilität der einzelnen Aufnahmefächer nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist. Vielmehr reicht es aus, verschiedene Aufnahmefächer für die Einzelteile zu definieren. Das kann auch im Rahmen der alternativen Ausführungsform dadurch geschehen, dass die Umfangswand und der zumindest eine Steg inklusive der Basis einstückig ausgelegt sind.In another embodiment of the invention, the procedure is such that the peripheral wall and the at least one web are designed in one piece. In this case, the base, the peripheral wall and the one or more webs are formed as a total one-piece component. This component can be produced particularly inexpensively. In addition, the invention makes use of the fact that the individual parts of e-cigarettes or smoking articles are usually standardized and accordingly a variability of the individual receiving compartments is not absolutely necessary. Rather, it is sufficient to define different receiving compartments for the items. This can also be done in the context of the alternative embodiment in that the peripheral wall and the at least one web including the base are designed in one piece.
Die einstückige Auslegung gelingt im Rahmen der Erfindung besonders einfach und kostengünstig dadurch, dass das einstückige Formteil als Kunststoffformteil ausgebildet ist. Grundsätzlich lassen sich in diesem Zusammenhang auch sogenannte Holz-/Kunststoffformteile realisieren. In diesem Fall wird letztlich ein Gemisch auf Holzspänen und Kunststoffgranulat ähnlich wie bei Kunststoffformteilen allein extrudiert. Generell kann das einstückige Formteil aber auch als Metall-Spritzguss-Teil ausgebildet sein. Ebenso sind natürlich Ausgestaltungen derart denkbar, dass die Basis inklusive zumindest der umlaufenden Umfangswand ein einstückiges Holzteil bildet, welches mit Kunststoffstegen, Metallstegen etc. kombiniert wird.The one-piece design succeeds in the invention particularly simple and inexpensive in that the one-piece molded part is formed as a plastic molding. Basically, so-called wood / plastic moldings can be realized in this context. In this case, a mixture is ultimately extruded on wood chips and plastic granules similar to plastic moldings alone. In general, however, the one-piece molded part can also be designed as a metal injection-molded part. Likewise, of course Configurations conceivable such that the base including at least the peripheral peripheral wall forms an integral piece of wood, which is combined with plastic webs, metal bars, etc.
Die Basis ist meistens zusätzlich noch mit einem die Basis tragenden Fuß ausgerüstet. Dabei kann zugunsten einer einfachen und kostengünstigen Herstellung so vorgegangen werden, dass der Fuß, die Basis, die zumindest eine umlaufende Umfangswand und der eine oder die mehreren Stege einstückig ausgebildet sind. Außerdem wird in diesem Zusammenhang und bei dieser Ausführungsform meistens so vorgegangen, dass die Stege und die Basis parallel zueinander verlaufen. In diesem Zusammenhang sorgen Öffnungen in den Stegen in Verbindung mit der Basis dafür, dass auf diese Weise die jeweiligen Aufnahmefächer definiert werden. Die Stege, die Basis und der Fuß können parallel zueinander angeordnet sein.The base is usually additionally equipped with a foot supporting the base. This can be done in favor of a simple and inexpensive production so that the foot, the base, the at least one circumferential wall and the one or more webs are integrally formed. In addition, in this context and in this embodiment, the procedure is usually that the webs and the base are parallel to each other. In this connection, openings in the webs in connection with the base ensure that the respective receiving compartments are defined in this way. The webs, the base and the foot can be arranged parallel to each other.
Nach einem Vorschlag der Erfindung mit besonderer Bedeutung ist die Umfangswand mit Verbindungsöffnungen zur Aufnahme von Verbindungsmitteln und zur Kopplung mehrerer Basen mit zugehörigen Umfangswänden aneinander ausgerüstet. Bei den Verbindungsmitteln kann es sich um Steckzapfen handeln. Die Steckzapfen sind dabei hinsichtlich ihrer Geometrie an die als Zapfenaufnahmen ausgebildeten Verbindungsöffnungen angepasst. Auf diese Weise lassen sich verschiedene Basen mit zugehöriger umlaufender Umfangswand Wand an Wand zueinander platzieren.According to a proposal of the invention with particular importance, the peripheral wall is equipped with connection openings for receiving connecting means and for coupling a plurality of bases with associated peripheral walls to each other. The connecting means may be spigot. The plug-in pins are adapted in terms of their geometry to the connection openings formed as a journal receptacles. In this way, different bases with associated circumferential wall can be placed wall to wall.
Die betreffenden Umfangswände mit den Verbindungsöffnungen bilden dabei zusammen genommen Zapfenaufnahmen für die Steckzapfen. Sobald die Steckzapfen in die Zapfenaufnahmen eingesteckt werden, sind die einzelnen Basen mit den zugehörigen Umfangswänden lösbar miteinander gekoppelt. Auf diese Weise wird ein durch Steckverbindungen erweiterbares Aufbewahrungssystem aus einer Mehrzahl an Basen und zugehörigen Umfangswänden zur Verfügung gestellt, was der Stand der Technik bisher nicht einmal ansatzweise geliefert hat.The respective peripheral walls with the connection openings form together taken pin receptacles for the spigot. As soon as the plug-in pins are inserted into the pin receptacles, the individual bases are releasably coupled together with the associated peripheral walls. In this way, a plug-in expandable Storage system made available from a plurality of bases and associated peripheral walls, which the prior art has not even been delivered rudimentary.
Die Basis als solche kann als durchgängige Horizontalplatte gegebenenfalls mit Öffnungen ausgebildet sein. Durch die Öffnungen kann u. U. austretende Flüssigkeit, Speichel etc. abgeführt werden. Meistens werden keine Fortsätze der Einzelteile aufgenommen. Es ist aber zusätzlich möglich, dass die Basis zumindest im Bereich der Aufnahmefächer gegenüber einer Horizontalen jeweils geneigt ist. Die Neigung gegenüber der Horizontalen eröffnet die Möglichkeit, dass das jeweils auf der Basis ruhende Einzelteil des Rauchartikels in Schrägstellung in dem zugehörigen Aufnahmefach gehalten wird und dadurch nicht nur einfach zugänglich ist, sondern beispielsweise im Hinblick auf die jeweils einsetzbaren Flüssigkeitsbehälter eine zusätzliche Identifizierung und ein einfaches Ablesen beispielsweise der Geschmacksrichtung ermöglicht. Die Basis kann alternativ oder zusätzlich im Bereich der Aufnahmefächer auch abgestuft ausgebildet sein. Selbstverständlich sind auch Kombinationen der zuvor beschriebenen Varianten möglich.The base as such may optionally be formed as a continuous horizontal plate with openings. Through the openings u. U. emerging liquid, saliva, etc. are discharged. Mostly no extensions of the items are included. However, it is additionally possible that the base is inclined in each case at least in the region of the receiving compartments with respect to a horizontal. The inclination relative to the horizontal opens up the possibility that each resting on the base item of the smoking article is held in an inclined position in the associated receptacle and thereby not only easily accessible, but for example, with regard to each applicable liquid container an additional identification and a simple For example, the flavor allows reading. Alternatively or additionally, the base can also be stepped in the area of the receiving compartments. Of course, combinations of the variants described above are possible.
Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung mit selbstständiger Bedeutung ist ein an die Basis angeschlossener Haltearm vorgesehen. Mithilfe des Haltearms kann die Basis inklusive umlaufender Umfangswand an praktisch beliebigem Ort montiert und entsprechend ausgerichtet werden. Hier haben sich besonders und vorteilhaft Anbringungen im Innern eines Kraftfahrzeuges als günstig erwiesen. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Haltearm drehgelenkig an die Basis angeschlossen. Meistens verfügt der Haltearm über zwei Gelenke, um insgesamt eine dreidimensionale Verstellung der Basis inklusive der umlaufenden Umfangswand zusammen mit den Aufnahmefächern zur Verfügung zu stellen.According to another proposal of the invention with independent meaning a connected to the base holding arm is provided. With the help of the support arm, the base including the circumferential wall can be mounted in virtually any location and aligned accordingly. Here have particularly and advantageous installations in the interior of a motor vehicle proved favorable. For this purpose, the support arm is pivotally connected to the base. In most cases, the support arm has two joints, in order to provide a total of three-dimensional adjustment of the base including the circumferential wall together with the storage compartments available.
Der Haltearm kann mit üblichen Einrichtungen zur Kopplung und zum Anbau beispielsweise im Innern eines Kraftfahrzeuges ausgerüstet sein. So ist es denkbar, dass der Haltearm endseitig mit beispielsweise einem Saugnapf ausgerüstet wird, um eine Anbringung der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung an einer Scheibe, insbesondere einer Frontscheibe eines Kraftfahrzeuges, zu ermöglichen. Nach vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der Haltearm jedoch mit einem Steckzapfen ausgerüstet. Mithilfe des Steckzapfens kann der Haltearm im Innern des Kraftfahrzeuges festgelegt werden, beispielsweise in einen Zigarettenanzünder eingesteckt werden, der naturgemäß beim Einsatz von E-Zigaretten nicht (mehr) benötigt wird. Die Auslegung des Haltearms mit zwei Gelenken für eine dreidimensionale Verstellung ist in der Regel so ausgebildet, dass diesbezüglich mit zwei Kugelgelenken gearbeitet wird. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Gelenkarten denkbar. Auch ein sogenannter Schwanenhals als Haltearm wird von der Erfindung umfasst.The support arm may be equipped with conventional means for coupling and for mounting, for example, in the interior of a motor vehicle. Thus, it is conceivable that the holding arm is equipped at the end with, for example, a suction cup in order to enable attachment of the holding device according to the invention to a pane, in particular a windshield of a motor vehicle. However, according to an advantageous embodiment, the holding arm is equipped with a plug-in pin. With the help of the spigot of the support arm can be set inside the motor vehicle, for example, be plugged into a cigarette lighter, which is not (more) naturally required when using e-cigarettes. The design of the support arm with two joints for a three-dimensional adjustment is usually designed so that in this regard is worked with two ball joints. Of course, other types of joints are conceivable. Also a so-called gooseneck as a holding arm is encompassed by the invention.
Im Ergebnis wird eine Haltevorrichtung für elektrisch betriebene Rauchartikel zur Verfügung gestellt, die die unmittelbar zugängliche Aufbewahrung der Einzelteile des Rauchartikels ermöglicht. Durch die variable Möglichkeit zur Erweiterung der Haltevorrichtung können auch eine Mehrzahl an beispielsweise Flüssigkeitsbehältern oder auch Mundstücken von einem Bediener auf diese Weise bevorratet werden. Die nach oben hin offene und nach oben hin zugängliche Auslegung der Aufnahmefächer und ihre vorteilhaft schräge Anordnung in diesem Bereich ermöglicht die einfache Handhabung und auch Identifizierung. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.As a result, a holding device for electrically powered smoking articles is provided, which enables the immediate access to storage of the individual parts of the smoking article. Due to the variable possibility for expanding the holding device, a plurality of, for example, liquid containers or mouthpieces can also be stored by an operator in this way. The upwardly open and accessible upwards interpretation of the receiving compartments and their advantageous oblique arrangement in this area allows easy handling and identification. Here are the main benefits.

Erfindungswesentlich ist nun der Umstand, dass die Basis 3 inklusive zumindest einer umlaufenden Umfangswand 6 für die Aufnahmefächer 5 als einstückiges Formteil 3, 6 ausgebildet ist. Die Aufnahmefächer 5 sind dabei insgesamt nach oben hin offen und auch nach oben hin zugänglich, und zwar unmittelbar. Das heißt, erfindungsgemäß wird bewusst auf etwaige Verschlüsse, einen Deckel etc. verzichtet. Vielmehr ermöglichen die nach oben hin offenen und zugänglichen Aufnahmefächer 5 einen unmittelbaren Zugriff auf die Einzelteile, namentlich die einzelnen Verdampferköpfe 1 bzw. Flüssigkeitsbehälter 2. Außerdem sind die fraglichen Einzelteile durch diese Maßnahme nicht nur einfach zugänglich, sondern können auch voneinander unterschieden werden. Beispielsweise ermöglicht diese Anbringung und Auslegung, dass die einzelnen Flüssigkeitsbehälter 2 mit unterschiedlicher Geschmacksrichtung problemlos voneinander unterschieden werden können.Essential to the invention is now the fact that the
