Abstract

A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

Is the battery j 〇 4 held in place by the battery branch member 106? The pc board 123, the spacer 128, and the PC board 124 are disposed within the main housing 160. The near wick 136 and the distal wick 134 are disposed within the nebulizer housing 132. The nebulizer housing 132 (and thus the near wick 136, the distal wick 13 4) is disposed within the tube sleeve 140 and the main housing 〇2. (Note: For the sake of clarity, the main casing 1〇2 is not shown in Figs. 8 and 9.) The light pipe sleeve 14 is placed in the main casing 1〇2. The light pipe sleeve 140 is positioned such that light emitted from a light source mounted on the pc board 124 can be conducted via the light pipe sleeve 140 to a position where it is visible on the exterior of the individual evaporator unit 1 . The crucible 150 is placed in the light pipe sleeve 14〇. When assembled, one of the substances contained in the crucible is kept in direct contact with the far wick 134. When the 匣15〇 is inserted into the personal vaporizer unit 1〇〇, the nebulizer housing 132 or the distal wick 134 can pierce the seal or cap that contains the substance to be evaporated in the crucible 150. Once pierced, the material held in one of the reservoirs 150 can be in direct contact with the distal wick 134. Figure 10 is a perspective view of one of the suction caps of a person's evaporator unit. Figure 11 is a distal end view of one of the suction port covers of Figure 10. Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the suction port cover taken along the cutting line shown in Figure 11 . As can be seen in Figures 10 through 12, the suction port cover 114 has an opening 114-1 that allows air and vaporized material to be drawn through the suction port cover 114. The suction port cover 14 is configured for contact with a person's mouth. In one embodiment, at least portion 156233.doc 201143824 of the mouthpiece cover has an antimicrobial surface. The antimicrobial surface of the mouthpiece cover 114 can include, but is not limited to, polyoxyxene rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, organic crumb, silver impregnated polymer 'silver impregnated thermoplastic elastomer and/or polymer. The suction flap 114 is also configured to be detachable by a user from the personal evaporator unit 100 without the use of a tool. This allows the suction port cover 114 to be replaced and/or cleaned. In one embodiment, the suction port cover 114 can be held in position on the individual evaporator unit 100 by an annular ridge 114_2 that interfaces with a recess in the suction port 116 of the personal vaporizer unit 100 for inhalation. The flap 114 is secured in place. In another embodiment, the suction port cover ι 4 can be held in place on the individual evaporator unit 1 by a friction fit. Figure 13 is a perspective view of one of the suction ports of a personal evaporator unit. Figure μ is a side view of the suction port of Figure 13. Figure 15 is a cross section of the suction port along the cutting line shown in Figure 14. As can be seen in Figures 13 through 15, the suction port 116 has a passage 116_丨' which allows air and vaporized material to be drawn through the suction port U6. The suction port 116 can include a conductive surface or material configured to contact one of the first body portions of one of the individuals holding the personal vaporizer unit 100. This first body portion can hold a portion of one hand or at least one lip of a person of the individual evaporator unit 100. In one embodiment, the suction inlet 116 has an annular groove 116_2 surrounding an outer surface. This groove is configured to receive the annular ridge 114_2. Therefore, the annular groove 116_2 helps to fasten the suction port cover 114 to the personal evaporator unit 100. Figure 16 is a perspective view of one of the suction port insulators of a single evaporator unit. Figure 17 is a distal end view of one of the suction port insulators of Figure 16.

Figure 19 is a cross section of the suction line insulator along the cutting line of Figure 18, 156233.doc -11 - 201143824. As previously discussed, the suction port insulator 112 is disposed between the main casing 1〇2 and the suction port 116. As can be seen in Figures μ through 18, the suction port insulator 112 has a passage 112-1 that allows air and vaporized material to be drawn through the suction port insulator 112. Since the suction port insulator U2 is disposed between the main casing 102 and the suction port 116, the suction port insulator 112 can electrically isolate the main casing 1〇2 from the suction port 116. Thus, in one embodiment, the suction port insulator 12 includes or is made of a non-conductive material. This electrical isolation between the main housing 1G2 and the suction population 116 allows for the detection of electrical impedance changes between the main housing 102 and the suction port 116. For example, σ, one of the first conductive surfaces on the suction port ii 6 can pass The first body portion is configured to contact one of the individuals holding the individual evaporator unit 100. The second guide f surface on the main housing 102 (which is electrically isolated by the suction surface) can be configured to contact the second body portion of the individual. Then, the personal evaporator unit 100 can be activated in response to detecting a conductivity change between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. In an embodiment, the conductivity change can include the first conductive An impedance drop between the surface and the second conductive surface. In one embodiment, the conductivity change can include a -capacitance change between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. The first body portion can be a finger. The first: the body part can be a lip. The second body portion can be a second hand. In a consistent embodiment, the first conductive surface and the second electrical surface can be used to transfer a charge current to the battery 1G4. The first and second conductive surfaces can also be used to read the data, s, to the individual hair dryer unit or from the individual 156233.doc

The main outer cover 260 can be used as an alternative embodiment of the main outer cover 160. The main outer cover 260 is configured to hold 1> (: plates 123 and 124 And a spacer 128. The main housing 260 is configured to be mated within the main housing i2 via a friction fit. The main housing 260 has a number of apertures 266 that allow light to pass through one of the sources on the panel 124. Once this light passes through the aperture 266, it can be coupled into the light pipe sleeve 14" where it conducts to the individual vaporizer A visible position on the exterior of the element 1. The main outer cover 260 also has a hole 265 that allows an electrical conductor (not shown) to extend from the PC board 123 or the PC board 124 through the main housing 26. Or connected to a heating element (not shown) which facilitates evaporation of the substance to be inhaled by a user of the personal vaporizer unit 100. This heating element can be controlled by circuitry on the PC board 123 or PC board 124. The heating element can be activated in response to a change in conductivity between the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface, as previously described. The outer cover 260 can also have a plurality of flat surfaces (or other geometric structures) externally. The flat surface formation is configured to allow vaporized material and air to pass between the main outer casing 260 and the main casing 102 through a gallery. Once the vaporized material and air pass through the main outer casing 260, it can pass through the passage, 156233 .doc • 14· 201143824 The passage 116-1 and the opening 114-1 travel to be inhaled by a user of the personal evaporator unit 1 .

Figure 33 is a perspective exploded view of one of the PCB assemblies of Figure 31. Figure 34 is an exploded side view of one of the 31i PCB assemblies. As seen in 34, the PCB assembly is comprised of a PC board 123 and a PC board 124 separated by a spacer 128. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) 125 to 127 or other light sources may already be mounted on the PC board 124. The LEDs 125 through 127 are configured and positioned such that when they produce light, the light passes through apertures 166 or 266 in the main housings 160 and 260, respectively. This light can then be conducted by the light envelope 140 to a position where it will be visible outside the individual evaporator unit 1 . A microprocessor, memory or other circuitry (not shown) may be mounted on the PC board 123 to activate or otherwise control the personal evaporator unit. The microprocessor can store data about the individual evaporators & i 〇 〇 。 in the memory. For example, the microprocessor can determine and store the number of cycles in which the individual evaporator unit 100 has been triggered. The microprocessor can also store a time and/or period associated with one or more of the cycles. The microprocessor can cause the data to be output via the connector. The connector may be formed by the first and second conductive surfaces of the suction port 116 and/or the main housing 1200. In an embodiment, the microprocessor can determine a duration associated with various cycles of unit 100 that have triggered personal vaporizer 156233.doc -15- 201143824. These durations (or a number based on such durations, such as an average) may be stored in the memory. The microprocessor can cause the digital to be output via the connector. The microprocessor can determine an open condition and store a number associated with the number of occurrences of the open condition. The microprocessor or other circuitry can determine one of the open conditions based on a resistance between the nebulizer housing 132 or 232 and a wick 134, 234, 136 236. The microprocessor can also store a time and/or period associated with one or more of these open conditions. The number of times an empty g condition is detected and/or the time and/or date associated with such occlusion conditions can be output via the connector. The battery 104, the board 123, the PC board 124, and all of the electronics inside the personal evaporator unit 1A can be sealed in a plastic or plastic and epoxy compartment within the apparatus. This compartment may contain a main outer cover 16 or 26 turns. All permeations in this compartment can be sealed. Therefore, only the wire will protrude from the compartment. This may be filled with epoxy resin after assembly of the battery 104, the PC board 123, the PC board 124, and the LEDs 125 to 127. The compartment may be ultrasonically welded to be closed after assembling the battery 1〇4, the pc board 123, the pc board 124, and the LEDs 125 to 127. The sealed compartment is configured such that all vapors within the individual evaporator unit 1 are not in contact with the electronics on the PC board 123 or 124.

Figure 35A is a perspective view of a heating element disposed through a proximal wicking element of a person's evaporator unit. Figure 35B is a perspective view of one of the heating elements of a person's evaporator unit. Figure 36 is a distal end view of one of the wick elements of Figure 35. Figure 37 is a cross section of the wick element along the cutting line shown in Figure 35. 156233.doc • 16. 201143824 The near wick 136 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 132. As can be seen in Figures 3S-37, the near wick 136 includes internal wire passages 136-1 and external wire passages 136-2. These wire passages allow a conductor or a heating element 139 to be positioned through the near wick 136. (via internal wire path 136-1) ^ This conductor or heating element 139 can also be positioned in the outer wire path 136-2. Thus, as shown in Figure 35A, a conductor or heating element 139 can be extended through the inner wire path 136-1, around the distal end of the proximal wick 136, and through the outer wire path 136-2 to return to approximation. At its origin, the conductor or heating element 139 is wrapped around a portion of the near wick 36. When the personal vaporizer 100 is activated, the heating element 139 can heat the near wick 136 to promote evaporation of a substance. Figure 3 is a perspective view of one of the far wicking elements of one of the individual evaporator units. Figure 39 is a distal end view of one of the wick elements of Figure 38. Figure 4 is a cross section of the wick element along a cutting line shown in Figure 39. The distal wick 134 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 132. As can be seen in Figures 38 through 40, the distal wick 134 includes two cylinders of different diameters. A chamfered surface transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the distal wick 1 34 to a larger diameter at the proximal end of the distal wick 4. The cylinder at the distal end terminates with a flat surface end 1344. The flat surface end 134-1 is a distal wick 134 that is arranged to directly contact one end of the surface with a substance to be evaporated when the 匣ι5 is inserted into the distal end of the individual evaporator 1〇〇. The proximal end of the distal wick 134 is typically in contact with the proximal wick 136. Then, at least a portion of the near wick 13 6 and the far wick 134 are separated by an air gap. When the far wick 134 and the near wick 136 are used together, the air gap is formed between the far wick 134 and the near wick 136 by the pad portion 136_3 shown in Fig. 37. 156233.doc -17- 201143824 Figure 4 1 is a perspective view of one of the far wick elements of a single evaporator unit. Figure 42 is a distal end view of one of the wick elements of Figure 41. Figure 43 is a cross section of the wick element along the cutting line shown in Figure 42. The near wick 234 can be used as an alternative to the distal wick 134. The near wick 234 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 232. As can be seen in Figures 41-43, the proximal wick 234 includes two cylinders of different diameters and a vertebral or pointed end 234-1. A chamfered surface transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the proximal wick 234 to a larger diameter at a proximal end of the proximal wick 234. The cylinder at the distal end terminates with a pointed end 234_丨. The pointed end 234-1 is the end of the near wick 234 that is in direct contact with a substance to be evaporated. The pointed end 234-1 can also pierce a seal on the 匣150 to allow the evaporation. The substance is in direct contact with the near wick 234. The proximal end of the proximal wick 234 is typically in contact with the proximal wick 136. However, at least a portion of the near wick U6 and the near wick 234 are separated by an air gap. When the distal wick 134 and the near wick 236 are used together, the air gap is formed between the near wick 234 and the near wick 136 by the pad portion 136-3 shown in FIG. Figure 44 is a perspective view of one of the nebulizer covers of one of the person's evaporator units. Figure 45 is a distal end view of one of the nebulizer housings of Figure 44. Figure 46 is a side elevational view of the nebulizer housing of Figure 44. Figure 47 is a top plan view of the nebulizer housing of Figure 44. Figure 48 is a cross-sectional view of the atomizer housing along the cutting line shown in Figure 47. The nebulizer housing 132 is configured to fit within the main housing 〇2. As can be seen in Figures 44-48, the nebulizer housing 132 generally includes two cylinders of different diameters. A chamfered surface 132-3 transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the nebulizer housing 132 to a larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 132. The larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 13 2 is configured to be forged to the light pipe 156233.doc 201143824 The set of cylinders at the distal end of 140 terminates at the __ spade tip 132_2. This bell tip 132-2 can pierce the seal on g 15 () to allow the material to be evaporated to be in direct contact with the far wick 134. The tip of other shapes is also possible (e.g., 'needle or spear shape'). The chamfered surface U2-3 has one or more apertures 132-1. These holes allow air and differential to pass through the nebulizer housing 13 2 into the distal wick 13 4 by suction. This suction can be supplied by a user of the personal vaporizer 100 sucking or inhaling on the inhalation flap 114 and/or the suction inlet 116. Air drawn into the distal wick enters the distal wick 134 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the distal wick 134. The air sucked into the far wick 134 discharges some of the substances being evaporated, which have been absorbed by the far wick 134, so that the sigma material exits the far wick 13 and enters to form a long suction. The air gap between the core 13 4 and the near wick 136 is atomized. The heating element disposed about the near wick 136 can then evaporate at least some of the atomized material. In one embodiment, the diameter of one or more of the apertures 132_1 can range between 〇.〇2 inches and 〇.〇625 inches. In one embodiment, the placement of the aperture 13 2 -1 at the leading edge of the chamfered surface places a volume of material to be vaporized in the path of entering the air. This entry air has nowhere to go only through the large diameter (or "head") end of the distal wick 13 4 . When air enters this region of the distal wick 134, it causes the material to be vaporized suspended in the distal wick 134 to exit toward an air chamber between the distal wick 134 and the proximal wick 136. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal occlusion 134, the negative pressure entering the air and the chamber forces it out of the wick. This produces a substance to be evaporated 156233.doc -19- 201143824 atomized cloud. In one embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 13 4 is variable and smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 13 6 . This allows air of a regulated volume to bypass the proximal wick 136 and directly enter the cavity between the distal wick 134 and the distal wick 136 without first passing through the distal wick 136. Figure 49 is a perspective view of one of the nebulizer housings of a single evaporator unit. Figure 50 is a distal end view of one of the nebulizer housings of Figure 49. Figure 51 is a side elevational view of the nebulizer housing of Figure 49. Figure 52 is a top plan view of the nebulizer housing of Figure 49. Figure 53 is a cross-sectional view of the atomizer housing along the cutting line shown in Figure 52. The nebulizer housing 232 is an alternative embodiment of the nebulizer housing 132 for use with the proximal wick 234. The nebulizer housing 232 is configured to fit within the main housing 102 and the light pipe sleeve 140. As can be seen in Figures 49-53, the nebulizer housing 232 generally includes two cylinders of different diameters. A chamfered surface 232-3 transitions from a smaller diameter at the distal end of the nebulizer housing 232 to a larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 232. The larger diameter at the proximal end of the nebulizer housing 232 is configured to be pressed into the tube sleeve 14A. The cylinder at the distal end terminates with an open cylindrical tip 232-2. The open cylindrical tip 232-2 allows the tip end 234-1 of the name 234 to puncture a seal on the smith 150 to allow the substance to be evaporated to be in direct contact with the near wick 234. The chamfered surface 232-3 has one or more apertures 232-1. These apertures allow air to pass through the nebulizer housing 232 via suction into the proximal wick 234. The air drawn into the near wick 234 enters the near wick 234 on or near the chamfered surface between the two cylinders of the near wick 234. The air that is drawn into the near wick 234 causes some of the material being vaporized that has been absorbed by the near wick 234 to be discharged 'so that the substance exits near the wick 234 and enters to form 156233.doc -20- 201143824 is atomized while in the air gap between the near wick 234 and the near wick 136. The heating element disposed about the near wick 136 can then evaporate at least some of the atomized material that is being vaporized. In one embodiment, the diameter of one or more of the apertures 232-1 can range between 〇.〇2 inches and 0.0625 inches. In one embodiment, the placement of the apertures 232-1 at the leading edge of the chamfered surface places a volume of material to be evaporated in a set volume in the path of entering the air. This entry air has nowhere to go but only passes through the distal wick 234. When the air of the 3H is in the region of the distal absorbing unit 23, the substance to be evaporated suspended in the distal wick 234 is directed toward the air between the distal wick 234 and the proximal wick 236. The cavity is discharged. When the discharged material to be evaporated reaches the surface of the distal wick 232, the negative pressure into the air and the chamber forces it out of the wick. This produces an atomized cloud of the material to be evaporated. In one embodiment, the diameter of the head of the distal wick 234 can vary and be smaller than the diameter of the proximal wick 236. This allows an adjusted volume of air to bypass the distal wick 230 and directly enter the cavity between the proximal wick 234 and the distal wick 236 without first passing through the distal wick 236. Figure 54 is a perspective view of one of the nebulizer housings and the wick of one of the person's evaporator units. Figure 55 is an exploded perspective view of the atomizer housing, wire guide and wick of Figure 54. Figure 56 is a side elevational view of the nebulizer cover and wick of Figure 54. Figure 57 is a distal end elevational view of the nebulizer housing and wick of Figure 54. Figure 58 is a cross-sectional view of the nebulizer housing and wick along the cutting line shown in Figure 57. The nebulizer housing and wick shown in Figures 54-58 are used in an alternative embodiment to the proximal wick 236. The embodiment shown in Figures 5 to 58 uses an atomizer housing 232, a near wick 234, a near wick 236, wire guides 237 156233.doc -21 - 201143824 and wire guides 238. The near wick 236 is configured to fit within the nebulizer housing 232. As can be seen in Figures 54-58, the near wick 236 includes an internal wire path 236-1. This wire path 236-1 allows a conductor or a heating element (not shown) to pass through the near suction; 2 3 6 is positioned (via the internal wire path 2 3 6 -1). The conductor or heating element can be positioned around the wire guide 237 and the wire guide 238. Thus, a conductor or heating element can extend through the wire path 236_1, around the wire guides 237 and 238 and then back through the wire path 236" to return to approximately its origin. When the personal evaporator unit 1 is activated, the heating element can heat the near wick 236 to promote evaporation of a substance. Figure 59 is a perspective view of a proximal wick assembly of Figures 54-58. Figure 59A shows a perspective view of one of the heating elements disposed through the proximal wick of Figures 54-58 and surrounding the wire guide. Figure 59B is a perspective view of one of the heating elements of a human evaporator unit. Figure 60 is a distal end elevational view of one of the wicking elements and wire guides of Figures 54 through 58. Figure 61 is a cross section of the wick element and wire guide along the cutting line shown in Figure 60. As can be seen in Figure 59A, a conductor or heating element 239 can extend through the wire path 236-i, surround the wire guides 237 and 238, and then back through the wire path 236-1 to return to approximately its origin. In one embodiment, for example, the distal wicks 134, 234 and the near wicks 136, 236 can be made of or include porous ceramics. The far wicks 134, 234 and the near wicks 130, 236 may be made of or include the following: oxidized, cerium carbide, partially stabilized zirconia by magnesium oxide, tetragonal zirconia polycrystals, Porous metal (eg steel, aluminum, turn, chin, etc.), ceramic coated porous metal, woven metal, spinning 156233.doc -22- 201143824 metal, metal wool (eg steel wool), porous polymer , porous coated polymer, porous dioxo prior (ie, glass) and/or porous resistant glass. The distal wicks m, 234 and the proximal wicks 136, 236 may be made of or comprise other materials that are absorbing materials that are desired to be evolved. For example, a conductor or add-on element placed through a near wick 136 or 236 may be made of or include the following: secret, iron, or steel, H, cent, or (d) material. The conductor or heating element disposed through the near-suction 136 may be made of or include other materials that heat up as a current is passed therethrough. Figure 62 is a perspective view of a light pipe sleeve of a person's evaporator unit. Figure ^ is a side view of the light pipe sleeve of Figure 62. Figure 64 is a cross-sectional view of the light pipe sleeve along the cutting line shown in Figure 。. The light pipe sleeve 14 is configured to be disposed within the main housing 102. The tube sleeve 140 is also configured to hold the cassette 15 and the nebulizer housing 132 or 232. As discussed above, the light pipe sleeve 14 is configured to conduct light entering the proximal end of the light pipe sleeve 140 (eg, from LEDs 125 through 127) to the distal end of the light pipe sleeve 140. The light from the distal end of the set of 14 turns will be visible from the outside of the personal vaporizer 100. Light exiting the distal end of the tube sleeve 140 can be diffused by the crucible 150. The light exiting the distal end of the tube sleeve 140 illuminates the characters and/or symbols drawn, printed, written or engraved in one of the ends of the cassette 150. In the embodiment, the light exiting the light pipe sleeve 140 illuminates a mark, character and/or symbol cut into the outer main casing 1〇2. In one embodiment, the light pipe sleeve 140 is made of or comprises a translucent acrylic plastic. Figure 65 is a perspective view of one of the individual evaporator units. Figure 66 is a close up view of one of the tops of Figure 65. Figure 67 is a side view of one of the lines of Figure 65. Figure 68 156233.doc -23- 201143824 A top view of one of the drawings 65. The section of the diagram is the section of the cutting line shown in _. As shown in Figures 65-69, £15〇 includes a hollow cylindrical section having at least one outer flat surface 158. When (10) is inserted into the distal end of the individual evaporating WO, the flat surface 158 forms an open space between the (4) outer surface and one of the inner surfaces of the tube sleeve 140. This space defines a channel for drawing air from the personal evaporator unit i 0 0 through the personal evaporator unit! (8) The inhalation of ma1 by the user in conjunction with the evaporating material also helps define the volume of air drawn into the individual evaporator unit 100. A different mixture of vaporized material and air can be produced by defining the volume of air that is typically drawn into the unit. The hollow portion of E 1 50 is configured to hold the reservoir of the substance to be evaporated by the individual evaporator unit with α. The hollow portion of g150 holds the substance to be evaporated which is in direct contact with the far wick 134 or 234. This allows the far wick 134 or 234 to be filled with material to be evaporated. The area of the distal wick 134 or 234 that is in direct contact with the substance to be evaporated can be varied to deliver different doses of the material to be swelled. For example, a crucible 150 having hollow portions of different diameters can be used to deliver different doses of material to be evaporated to the user. The crucible 150 can be configured to limit the material to be evaporated by a cap or seal (not shown) on the proximal end. The cap or seal may be pierced by the end of the nebulizer housing 132 or the pointed end 234_ of the proximal wick 234. When inserted into the personal evaporator unit 1 匣, the ram pad 157 defines an air passage between the light sleeve 140 and the end of the main housing 102. This air passage allows air to reach the air passage defined by the flat surface 丨58. 156233.doc
