first embodiment

[0025]Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail and first, particularly, to FIGS. 1-12 thereof, there is seen an e-cigarette cover 1 including a top cover part 2, a bottom cover part 3 and a spring 4 which are preferably, but not necessarily, formed together in one piece from a hard material such as plastic. In a released position shown in FIG. 1, the top cover part 2 covers a mouthpiece region 5 of an e-cigarette 7 which touches the mouth of a user and has a hole 6 from which vapor emerges. In order to use the cover 1, the user slides the top cover part 2 downward into an actuated position by using the thumb of one hand 10 which compresses the spring 4. When released, the spring pushes the top cover part 2 upward again to cover the mouthpiece region 5. The spring 4 provides a mechanism actuable by the thumb of a user for selectively exposing and covering the mouthpiece region 5 of the e-cigarette 7.

[0026]FIGS. 3-6 illustrate further details of the cover 1 in the releas...

third embodiment

[0028]In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 18-21, a cover 31 can be seen as having a top cover part 2, a bottom cover part 3 and a spring 4 formed from plastic or metal or a combination thereof, as described above. However, the cover 31 is used for a rechargeable e-cigarette 32 having a flavor container 33 and a battery 34 interconnected by a threaded connection 35. In this case, the battery 34 is snapped or glued to the spring 4.

fourth embodiment

[0029]In the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 22-25, a short cover 41 is seen to have a top cover part 2, a spring 4 and a bottom ring 42 formed from plastic or metal or a combination thereof, as described above, for use with a rechargeable e-cigarette. The bottom ring 42 is held in place on a flavor container 43 by a tight fit or snap connection or adhesive. The flavor container 43 is connected to a battery 44 by a threaded connection 45.

Abstract

A cover for an e-cigarette having a mouthpiece for emitting vapor, includes a top cover part, a bottom cover part and a mechanism configured to be actuated by the thumb of a user for selectively exposing and covering the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette. The mechanism may be a spring interconnecting the top cover part and the bottom cover part, each of which surround the e-cigarette. The spring permits the top cover part to move between an upper released position covering the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette under force of the spring and a lower actuated position exposing the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette under force of the thumb of the user. Flexible regions, knobs, detents and recesses may also be used as the mechanism and the top part may have a cap. Disposable and rechargeable e-cigarettes may be used.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a cover for an electronic cigarette or e-cigarette, which allows the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette to be covered to promote cleanliness.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]An e-cigarette is a personal vaporizer or electronic nicotine delivery system which is battery-powered and simulates tobacco smoking. The e-cigarette uses a heating element or atomizer for a liquid solution which may contain a mixture of nicotine and / or flavorings. Most, but not all, e-cigarettes are cylindrical and look like tobacco cigarettes. Some are one-piece disposable units and some have disposable and interchangeable liquid flavor containers and rechargeable batteries.[0005]In contrast to tobacco cigarettes which are smoked and discarded, all e-cigarettes are used over and over again. Therefore, the mouthpiece of the e-cigarette is subject to soiling and contamination by germs when touched by the hands or othe...
