Description

Electronic cigarette system

This invention relates to an electronic cigarette system. More specifically, the present invention relates to an electronic cigarette system for keeping the surroundings out of the use of electronic cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette is described in JP-T-2015-523077. E-cigarettes are more popular than cigarettes because they have significantly less harmful effects on the surroundings due to smoke and odors and also have less health damage. However, it may be preferable not to let others know the fact that they are using electronic cigarettes.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-523077

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system for electronic cigarettes and a device therefor that do not need to inform the surroundings of the fact that electronic cigarettes are used.

One aspect of the invention described herein relates to a system for electronic cigarettes.
The electronic cigarette system 1 includes (1) a mounting portion 5 that is attached to at least a part of the electronic cigarette 3, and (2) a container 9 that houses the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette 3.
The mounting portion 5 is a mode in which the main body portion of the electronic cigarette is invisible, and the cartridge attached to the main body portion of the electronic cigarette is wholly or partially out of the container 9, and the main body of the electronic cigarette is stored in the container 9. The part is attached.

In one aspect of the electronic cigarette system described above, the container 9 is a beverage can, the attachment portion 5 is attached to an inner diameter portion of the upper open end 11 of the beverage can, and the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette 3 is a beverage can. It includes an inner diameter accommodating portion 13 for fixing. Another example of the container 9 is a cup or mug.

Certain aspects of the invention described in this specification relate to a fixture 15. The attachment 15 may be the attachment 5 in the electronic cigarette system described above. The attachment 15 accommodates the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette 3 in the beverage can, and makes the whole or part of the cartridge to be inserted into the electronic cigarette 3 out of the beverage can. Is a fixture 15 for keeping the main body of the device hidden in the beverage can. The beverage can includes an inner diameter accommodating portion 13 attached to the inner diameter portion of the upper open end of the beverage can for fixing the main body portion of the electronic cigarette to the beverage can.

The present invention can provide a system for electronic cigarettes and a device therefor that do not need to inform the surroundings of the fact that electronic cigarettes are used.

FIG. 1 is a photograph replacing a drawing for explaining a system for an electronic cigarette. FIG. 2 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing an example in which an electronic cigarette system is used for a beverage can. FIG. 3 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing an example in which a mug is used as a container. FIG. 4 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing a side view of the electronic cigarette system of FIG. FIG. 5 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing a state when the electronic cigarette system of FIG. 3 is used. FIG. 6 is a photograph replacing a drawing for explaining the fixture.

Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the modes described below, and includes those appropriately modified within the scope obvious to those skilled in the art from the following modes.

One aspect of the invention described in this specification relates to a system for electronic cigarettes. This electronic cigarette system is an electronic cigarette system that does not need to inform the surroundings of the fact that the electronic cigarette is being used.

The electronic cigarette 3 includes an electronic cigarette that does not use a cigarette and a heating cigarette that uses a cigarette and that is electronically heated using electricity. Examples of heated cigarettes are IQOS(R), glo(R), and Bloom TECH(R).

Fig. 1 is a photograph replacing a drawing for explaining the electronic cigarette system. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cigarette system 1 includes a mounting portion 5 that is attached to at least a part of the electronic cigarette 3, and a container 9 that houses a main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette 3. The mounting portion 5 is a mode in which the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette cannot be visually recognized, and the whole or a part of the cartridge (the portion that the user smokes the electronic cigarette by including it in the mouth) attached to the main body portion of the electronic cigarette. The main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette is attached to the container 9 in such a manner that the container comes out of the container 9. The container has an open end at the top. The outer shape of the mounting portion 5 is made to match, for example, the inner diameter of the open end of the container. Therefore, when the mounting portion 5 is housed in the upper end of the container 9, the mounting portion is fixed to the container. Then, the mounting portion is provided with a hole 21 penetrating therethrough. The hole 21 is adapted to accommodate the body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette. The mounting portion 5 is a housing portion 23 having a shape in which the hole 21 is continuous to the lower portion, and may constitute the housing portion 23 that houses the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette. By having the accommodation portion 23, the electronic cigarette can be stably accommodated. Further, if the mounting portion 5 is provided, it is possible to prevent the container 9 and the electronic cigarette 3 from being relatively displaced when the electronic cigarette is used.

In one aspect of the electronic cigarette system described above, the container 9 is a beverage can, the attachment portion 5 is attached to an inner diameter portion of the upper open end 11 of the beverage can, and the main body portion 7 of the electronic cigarette 3 is a beverage can. It includes an inner diameter accommodating portion 13 for fixing. An example of a beverage can is one that has the appearance of a can used to contain a beverage such as juice or coffee. Some beverage cans have a so-called pull tab that opens the inside. On the other hand, in the present invention, a beverage can having an open end and a cap that can open and close the open end is preferable. With such a beverage can, it is easy to insert the electronic cigarette from the open end and to fix the mounting portion to the open end. Although a plastic can such as a PET bottle may be used as the beverage can, a transparent beverage can is preferable because the electronic cigarette inside is visible when the beverage can is transparent.

Fig. 2 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing an example of using an electronic cigarette system for a beverage can. In FIG. 2, the electronic cigarette can be housed inside the beverage can of the coffee beverage. In the example of FIG. 2, a part of the cartridge comes out from the upper end of the beverage can. Electronic cigarettes can be used by using (by sucking) the cartridge that pops out of the beverage can.

Another example of the container 9 is a cup or mug. FIG. 3 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing an example in which a mug is used as a container. In this example, the mounting portion 5 has a shape that can stably store the electronic cigarette. The depth of the mounting portion 5 may be designed in consideration of the body portion of the electronic cigarette. The depth of the mounting portion 5 may be designed so that when the electronic cigarette is inserted into the mounting portion 5, a part of the cartridge portion (portion that is easily sucked by the user) is exposed from the container. FIG. 4 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing a side view of the electronic cigarette system of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from the outside, this container (mug) looks like a normal container. FIG. 5 is a photograph replacing a drawing showing a state when the electronic cigarette system of FIG. 3 is used. As shown in FIG. 5, if this system is used, even if an electronic cigarette is smoked, it looks like drinking coffee from the outside.

FIG. 6 is a photograph replacing a drawing for explaining the fixture. This attachment allows the electronic cigarette to be accommodated by fixing the inner diameter accommodating portion 13 to the upper open end of the beverage can.

This invention can be used in the electronic cigarette industry.
