Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 63/089,161, filed on Oct. 8, 2020, and incorporates the disclosure of the application in its entirety by reference.
- Vaporizer devices present an alternative to smoking and work by vaporizing a consumable flower or oil, such as cannabis, tobacco, etc. by heating the flower or oil at a lower temperature than an open flame so that a user can inhale the flower or oil in vapor form, rather than smoke.
- A conventional vaporizer device typically has a chamber for holding oil, a small, heated coil in contact with the chamber, and one or more openings to allow a user to draw vapor toward the mouth of the user. A current is typically passed through the coil, thereby heating the chamber which in turn heats the oil. However, a conventional vaporizer device is configured in a manner that does not allow the oil to feely flow to the heated coil. Accordingly, a conventional vaporizer device is prone to leaving an oily residue in the chamber after repeated use, which may result in unpleasant flavors and aromas.
- Accordingly, what is needed is an apparatus and system to reduce the number of components of the vaporizer device and provide the user with a high-quality vapor and improved flavor over the lifetime of the consumable flower or oil.
- Systems and apparatus for a vaporizer device according to various aspects of the present technology may comprise a vaporizer assembly and a battery. The vaporizer assembly may comprise a tubular body comprising an outer surface and an inner surface defining a receptacle cavity in the tubular body. The vaporizer assembly may also comprise an atomizer at least partially disposed within the tubular body, wherein the inner surface and the atomizer define an inner volume in the tubular body. The vaporizer assembly may further comprise a seal configured to contain a vaporizable material inside the inner volume and a heating element coupled to the atomizer. The battery may be connected to the heating element.

In one embodiment, thetubular body 120 may comprise anouter surface 122 and aninner surface 124 defining areceptacle cavity 126 in thetubular body 120, such as shown inFIG. 2 . Theinner surface 124 may be configured to receivably engage theatomizer 125. In addition, thetubular body 120 may comprise an openfirst end 132 terminating in a first peripheralannular edge 134 and a secondopen end 136 opposite the openfirst end 132 and terminating in a second peripheralannular edge 138. Thetubular body 120 may be constructed from any suitable food-grade material that is capable of withstanding maximum atomizer heating temperatures, such as silicone, wax, or the like. - In some embodiments, the
tubular body 120 may comprise asubstrate 121 formed on theouter surface 122 of thetubular body 120, such as shown inFIG. 3A . Thesubstrate 121 may comprise a layer of protective material to provide structural support. In other embodiments, thesubstrate 121 may be formed on an exterior surface (not shown) of theatomizer 125. Thesubstrate 121 may comprise any suitable material capable of withstanding maximum dry atomizer heating temperatures, such as silicone, wax, or the like. - The
atomizer 125 may operate in conjunction with theheating element 130 to absorb and heat the vaporizable material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the vaporizable material. It will be appreciated that theatomizer 125 may be constructed from a variety of suitable thermally conductive materials, such as metal, ceramic, silicone, glass, or any other combination of thermally conductive materials. In on embodiment, theatomizer 125 may be at least partially disposed within thetubular body 120, such as shown inFIGS. 4B-C , 5A-D, and 6A-C. Accordingly, theinner surface 124 of thetubular body 120 and theatomizer 125 may define aninner volume 148 in thetubular body 120 for holding the vaporizable material. - In on embodiment, the
atomizer 125 may comprise abase 142 and a cylindrical-shapedbody 144 coupled to thebase 142. The cylindrical-shapedbody 144 may comprise a circularouter edge 146, where the circularouter edge 146 may be flush with theinner surface 124 of thetubular body 120 and the base 142 may abut the second peripheralannular edge 138 of thetubular body 120 when receivably engaged with thetubular body 120, such as shown inFIGS. 4B-C , 5B-D, and 6B-C. - It will be appreciated that the
inner volume 148 may comprise any suitable size and shape so long as theinner volume 148 is capable of holding a sufficient amount of vaporizable material to provide the user with a high-quality vapor and improved flavor over the lifetime of the material. For example, in one embodiment, theinner volume 148 may comprise a volume of approximately 0.05 to 2 cubic centimeters. In this regard, theinner volume 148 may be capable of holding approximately 0.05 to 2 grams of oil, concentrate, or flower. - In various embodiments, the
seal 135 may be configured to contain the vaporizable material inside theinner volume 148. Specifically, theseal 135 may be coupled to the openfirst end 132 of thetubular body 120 to hold the vaporizable material in theinner volume 148. Theseal 135 may be removable, meaning the user may disconnect or disengage theseal 135 from the openfirst end 132 before using thevaporizer device 115. Thus, theinner volume 148 may be filled with the vaporizable material via the openfirst end 132 when theseal 135 is removed, and the vaporizable material may be prevented from falling or leaking out of theinner volume 148 when theseal 135 is coupled to the openfirst end 132. Theseal 135 may be constructed from any suitable food-grade material, such as silicone, wax, or the like. - It will be appreciated that modifications may be made to the
seal 135 without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, instead of theseal 135, a plug (not shown) may be inserted into thetubular body 120. Specifically, the plug (not shown) may comprise a circular outer edge (not shown), where the circular outer edge (not shown) may be flush with theinner surface 124 of thetubular body 120 immediately adjacent the first peripheralannular edge 134 of thetubular body 120 when receivably engaged with thetubular body 120. In this regard, the plug (not shown) may be configured to contain the vaporizable material inside theinner volume 148. The plug (not shown) may be constructed from any suitable food-grade material, such as silicone, wax, or the like. In some embodiments, the plug (not shown) may be removable, meaning the plug (not shown) may be removed by the user before using thevaporizer device 115. In other embodiments, the plug (not shown) may also function as a mouthpiece. - The
heating element 130 may comprise any suitable resistive element, such as a coil, strip of wire, wire mesh, film, or the like, that dissipates heat when an electric current flows through it. The resistive element may comprise any suitable resistance so long as the resistive element may dissipate enough heat to heat the vaporizable material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the vaporizable material. As an example, in the case where the vaporizable material is oil or concentrate, the oil or concentrate within theinner volume 148 may be heated to a temperature of approximately 365 to 428° F. to create an aerosolized vapor therefrom. In the case where the vaporizable material is cannabis flower, the flower within theinner volume 148 may be heated to a temperature of approximately 215 to 480° F. to create an aerosolized vapor therefrom. - The
heating element 130 may also comprise one or more wires (not shown) coupled to theheating element 130 for connecting theheating element 130 to various components of thevaporizer system 100, such as thebattery 140. Theheating element 130 may be in contact with theatomizer 125 and may heat the vaporizable material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the vaporizable material. In one embodiment, theheating element 130 may be embedded within theatomizer 125, such as shown inFIGS. 1B-C and 3B-D. In another embodiment, theheating element 130 may be coupled to thebase 142 of theatomizer 125, such as shown inFIGS. 4B-C , 5A-D, and 6B-C. In yet another embodiment, theheating element 130 may be printed on thebase 142 of theatomizer 125. Theheating element 130 may, however, be coupled to theatomizer 125 in any suitably manner. - The
battery 140 may be connected to various components of thevaporizer system 100, such as theheating element 130, and may be suitably configured to supply power to the components. For example, in one embodiment, thebattery 140 may be coupled to theheating element 130 via apower terminal 149, such as shown inFIGS. 1C, 4C, and 6C . In another embodiment, thebattery 140 may be coupled to theheating element 130 via one or more wires (not shown) coupled to theheating element 130. Thebattery 140 may comprise any suitable disposable, replaceable, or rechargeable battery, such as an alkaline battery, a lead acid battery, a nickel cadmium battery, a nickel metal hydride battery, a lithium-ion battery, and the like. It will be appreciated that modifications may be made to thebattery 140 without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, instead of thebattery 140, alternative energy sources, such as inductive, solar, and chemical energy sources, may be used to power various components of thevaporizer assembly 105, e.g., theheating element 130. - The
vaporizer system 100 may further comprise alocking component 150 configured to constrain a movement of thevaporizer assembly 105 with respect to thebattery 140. In addition, thelocking component 150 may be configured to guide a movement of thevaporizer assembly 105 with respect to thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115. Thelocking component 150 may comprise any suitable device or system for locking and/or guiding thevaporizer assembly 105 to thebattery 140. In addition, thelocking component 150 may be further configured to disengage thevaporizer assembly 105 from thebattery 140. For example, in one embodiment, thelocking component 150 may be pivotal between a locked position wherein a movement of thevaporizer assembly 105 with respect to thebattery 140 and thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 may be constrained, and an unlocked position wherein thevaporizer assembly 105 may be disengaged from thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115. - In an alternative embodiment, the
locking component 150 may be configured to couple thevaporizer assembly 105 to thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 in a locked position by pressing thevaporizer assembly 105 towards thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 to lock into position. Similarly, thelocking component 150 may decouple thevaporizer assembly 105 from thehousing 110 in an unlocked position, whereby thevaporizer assembly 105 is pushed into the unlocked position to disengage. For example, thelocking component 150 may be received in a notch (not shown) formed in thetubular body 120 so that thevaporizer assembly 105 may be coupled to thebattery 140 and thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115. - The
vaporizer assembly 105 may further comprise amouthpiece 155. Themouthpiece 155 may be inserted into thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 and may be coupled to thevaporizer assembly 105 when receivably engaged with thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115, such as shown inFIGS. 1A-C and 4A-C. In addition, themouthpiece 155 may be suitably configured to puncture theseal 135 when receivably engaged with thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 to allow the generated vapor to be mixed with air drawn into themouthpiece 155. For example, themouthpiece 155 may comprise anairflow channel 156 configured to puncture theseal 135. In one embodiment, air may be drawn through agap 180 disposed between theatomizer 125 and thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 and into theatomizer 125 through a gap between themouthpiece 155 and an inner surface (not shown) of theatomizer 125. Accordingly, the resulting aerosol (combination of vapor and airflow) may travel as an aerosol stream along airflow path A where it may be expelled via an outlet (not shown) of themouthpiece 155 and then inhaled by the user, such as shown inFIG. 1C . Themouthpiece 155 may be constructed from any suitable food-grade material, such as silicone, wax, or the like. Further, themouthpiece 155 may be capable of withstanding maximum atomizer heating temperatures. - In one embodiment, the
mouthpiece 155 and thevaporizer assembly 105 may be separate components of thevaporizer system 100, such as shown inFIGS. 1A-C and 4A-C. In an alternative embodiment, thevaporizer assembly 105 may be integrated with themouthpiece 155 in the form of amouthpiece assembly 157, such as shown inFIGS. 6A-C and 7A-D. As an example, themouthpiece assembly 157 may comprise a cylindrical-shapedbody 160, where the cylindrical-shapedbody 160 may comprise anexterior surface 162 and aninterior surface 164. Theinterior surface 164 may be configured to receivably engage theatomizer 125. In this regard, theatomizer 125 may be at least partially disposed within themouthpiece assembly 157. Themouthpiece assembly 157 may further comprise areservoir 165 positioned in the center of the cylindrical-shapedbody 160 for holding the vaporizable material. Thereservoir 165 may comprise an openbottom end 167 and a closedtop end 169. The openbottom end 167 may be positioned against theatomizer 125 to form a fluid-tight seal in order to prevent the vaporizable material from falling or leaking out of thereservoir 165. - The
mouthpiece assembly 157 may further comprise one ormore inlets 170 positioned along theexterior surface 162 of the cylindrical-shapedbody 160. Eachinlet 170 may be in communication with a respective one of a plurality ofchannels 172 extending along a longitudinal axis of themouthpiece assembly 157. Further, eachchannel 172 may be in communication with a respective one of a plurality ofoutlets 174, such as shown inFIG. 7D . In this regard, air may be drawn into themouthpiece assembly 157 through the plurality ofinlets 170 where it may may mix with the vapor generated by theatomizer 125. The resulting aerosol (vapor and airflow) may then travel as an aerosol stream through the plurality ofchannels 172 where it may be expelled via the plurality ofoutlets 174 and inhaled through themouthpiece assembly 157. - In operation, a user may fill the
inner volume 148 of thevaporizer assembly 105 with the vaporizable material. Once theinner volume 148 has been filled with the vaporizable material, the user may attach theseal 135 to the secondopen end 136 of thetubular body 120 in in order to prevent the vaporizable material from falling or leaking out of theinner volume 148. Alternatively, instead of theseal 135, the user may insert a plug (not shown) into thetubular body 120 of thevaporizer assembly 105 in order to prevent the vaporizable material from falling or leaking out of theinner volume 148. At this point, the user may insert thevaporizer assembly 105 into thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 using thelocking component 150, such as described in paragraphs [0039] and [0040] of this application. Further, in the case where theseal 135 is used, the user may then insert themouthpiece 155 into thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 to couple themouthpiece 155 to thevaporizer assembly 105. Because theseal 135 may be positioned between theinner volume 148 and themouthpiece 155, theairflow channel 156 of themouthpiece 155 may puncture theseal 135 when themouthpiece 155 is receivably engaged with thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115. - Once the
vaporizer assembly 105 has been inserted into thehousing 110 of thevaporizer device 115 and themouthpiece 155 is coupled to thevaporizer assembly 105, thevaporizer system 100 may be turned on by a sensor (not shown), which may be an airflow or other type of trigger sensor, or by pressing a button or switch. For example, in the case where thevaporizer device 115 is “draw-activated”, a user may turn on thevaporizer device 115 by drawing air into thevaporizer device 115 by inhaling through themouthpiece 155. When the user inhales, a negative pressure may be induced inside thevaporizer device 115. The negative pressure induced inside thevaporizer device 115 may cause the sensor (not shown) to close a pressure switch (not shown), thereby closing the circuit between thebattery 140 and the various components of thevaporizer system 100. Once the pressure switch (not shown) is closed, thebattery 140 may supply power to the various components of thevaporizer system 100, including theheating element 130. Accordingly, thebattery 140 may supply a current to theheating element 130. Because theheating element 130 may comprise a resistive element, theheating element 130 may dissipate heat when the current flows through it. Further, because theheating element 130 may be in contact or embedded within theatomizer 125, the resulting heat may be transferred to theinner volume 148. In this regard, theheating element 130 may vaporize a portion of the vaporizable material by heating theinner volume 148 to a temperature sufficient to generate the vapor. Once the vapor is produced, it may mix with the air drawn into theatomizer 125, and the resulting aerosol (vapor and airflow) may travel as an aerosol stream along the airflow path A where it may be expelled via an outlet (not shown) and inhaled through themouthpiece 155. - The particular implementations shown and described are illustrative of the technology and its best mode and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the present technology in any way.
