Definitions

  • the e-vaping device includes a power supply, such as a rechargeable battery, arranged in the device.
  • the battery is electrically connected to the heater, such that the heater heats to a temperature sufficient to convert the pre-vapor formulation to a vapor.
  • the vapor exits the e- vaping device through a mouthpiece including at least one outlet.
  • the sheath is formed of an electrically conductive material. In at least one example embodiment, the first end of the heater is in contact with a portion of the sheath. In at least one example embodiment, the sheath is electrically insulated from the post.
  • the gasket defines two holes through the base portion.
  • the cartridge further comprises: a first electrical lead; and a second electrical lead. Each of the first electrical lead and the second electrical lead extend through one of the two holes through the base portion of the gasket.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line ll-ll of a cartridge of the e-vaping device of FIG. 1A according to at least one example embodiment.
  • FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a method of forming the cartridge of FIG. 2 according to at least one example embodiment.
  • the connector 30 may be any type of connector, such as a threaded, snug-fit, detent, clamp, bayonet, and/or clasp.
  • At least one air inlet 35 extends through a portion of the connector 30. In other example embodiments, the at least one air inlet 35 may extend through the housing 50, 50’. In at least one example embodiment, more than two air inlets 35 may be included in the housing 50, 50’. Alternatively, a single air inlet 35 may be included in the housing 50, 50’.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line ll-ll of a cartridge of the e-vaping device of FIG. 1 A according to at least one example embodiment.
  • the cartridge 15 includes a first connector piece 70 at a second end of the housing 50, and the mouth-end insert 60 in a first end of the housing 50.
  • the first absorbent pad 150 is at least partially retentive so as to substantially prevent and/or reduce leakage of pre-vapor formulation, while allowing the pre-vapor formulation to travel to the second absorbent pad 155 and the heater 115.
  • the material used to form the first absorbent pad 150 is not heat resistant since the first absorbent pad 150 is not in direct contact with the heater 1 15. In other example embodiments, the material used to form the first absorbent pad 150 is heat resistant.
  • the sheath 165 includes an end wall 170 having an outlet 180 therein.
  • the outlet 180 is in fluid communication with the first channel 100 of the post 105.
  • the sheath 165 may be generally cup-shaped and may be sized and configured to fit over the first and second absorbent pads 150, 155 and the heater 115.
  • the senor 230 is configured to generate an output indicative of a magnitude and direction of airflow in the e-vaping device 10.
  • the control circuit 235 receives the output of the sensor 230, and determines if (1 ) the direction of the airflow indicates a draw on the mouth-end insert 60 (versus blowing) and (2) the magnitude of the draw exceeds a threshold level. If these conditions are met, the control circuit 235 electrically connects the power supply 225 to the heater 115.
  • the sensor 230 may indicate a pressure drop, and the control circuit 235 activates the heater 115 in response thereto.
  • the method may also include press-fitting 2400 the inner tube 190 onto the sheath 165, connecting 2110 the leads 140 of the conductive metal insert 77 to the sheath 165, and vacuuming 2120 any debris from the subassembly.
  • the connecting 2110 may include spot welding.
  • the heater 115’ includes a first end ring 1600 and a second end ring 1610.
  • a sinusoidal shaped member 1620 extends between the first end ring 1600 and the second end ring 1610.
  • the heater 1 15’ may be formed by etching and/or laser cutting the sinusoidal shaped member 1620 into a tube, and the sinusoidal shaped member 1620 may have a substantially same shape as the heater 115 of FIG. 2.
  • the sheath 165 abuts and/or extends around a gasket portion 1830 of the extension 1810 of the connector piece 1730.
  • the gasket portion 1830 has a generally cylindrical cross-section, and the connector piece 1730 has a barbell or ⁇ ” shape.
  • the gasket portion 1830 has a larger diameter than a central portion of the extension 1810.
  • the gasket portion 1830 seals a second end of the sheath 165, such that the pre-vapor formulation cannot enter an interior area of the sheath 165.
  • the connector piece 1730 also includes a base 1800 having internal threads. In other example embodiments, the base 1800 may have external threads.
  • the base 1800 and the extension 1810 define an air channel 1780 therethrough.
  • the air channel 1780 is in fluid communication with the air channel in the inner tube 190 via the sheath 165.
  • the base 1800 further defines channels 1750 through which electrical leads extend.
  • the channels 1750 extend through the gasket portion 1830.
  • the electrical leads 1742, 1742’ are attached to ends of the heater and to the battery section 20 to form the electrical connection between the heater and the power supply. As shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional, enlarged view of a portion of the cartridge of FIG. 17 according to at least one example embodiment.
  • the heater 1815 and wick 1720 may be formed as set forth in in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013/0192623 to Tucker et al. filed January 31 , 2013 and/or features set forth in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 15/135,930 to Holtz et al. filed April 22, 2016, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
  • the e-vaping device may include the features set forth in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 15/135,923 filed April 22, 2016, and/or U.S. Patent No. 9,289,014 issued March 22, 2016, the entire contents of each of which is incorporated herein by this reference thereto.
