Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of electrical apparatuses for generating a vapour by heating a chemical compound or, alternatively, tobacco or tobacco derivatives.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for generating vapour comprising an electrical device for generating vapour and a relative charger device.
  • Electronic cigarettes are devices which generate vapour by heating a chemical compound - typically a mixture containing vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol and possibly one or more flavourings of various kinds and/or nicotine - which is then inhaled by a user, an action typically referred to as "vaping".
  • the device comprises an atomiser which vaporises the chemical compound, generating the vapour vaped by the user.
  • the vaporisation of the chemical compound, or the nicotine of the tobacco is obtained by circulating an electric current in special resistors.
  • the electric current is supplied by a battery, contained within the device, which must be periodically charged using a charger.
  • US10,638,792 discloses a vaporizer device which can be charged upon resting in a seat of charger that must be connected to an electric source via a cable or a USB connector.
  • the charger is provided with an elongated seat with contact pins placed in the middle of the seat and the vaporizer is provided with an elongated body with respective contact pins in the middle of the body.
  • the charger is a portable device (so-called power-bank)
  • the user must wait some time before being able to use the device again to generate vapour.
  • apparatuses comprising a device for generating vapour and a separable charger, which are configured to allow the device for generating vapour to be used even when connected to the charger device.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art.
