Benefits of technology

The present invention describes a module that can power an electronic smoking device. This module connects to the smoking device and also to a portable electronic device. The module has a built-in battery to store energy, which is then supplied to the smoking device from the portable device. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and portable way to use electronic smoking devices.

Problems solved by technology

When the battery of the electronic smoking device is discharged, a mobile user may undesirably be unable to recharge the battery at any location.
A battery level indicator integrated with the electronic smoking device could help to avoid such situations, but typically would increase the cost of production.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]Throughout the following, an electronic smoking device, for example an e-cigarette, a module, and a system will be exemplarily described with reference to the drawings. The electronic smoking device or a portion thereof (electronic smoking device portion) may be coupled with a module according to exemplary embodiments of the invention.

[0011]As is shown in FIG. 1, an electronic smoking device 10 typically has a housing comprising a cylindrical hollow tube having an end cap 16. The cylindrical hollow tube may be a single-piece or a multiple-piece tube. In FIG. 1, the cylindrical hollow tube is shown as a two-piece structure having a battery portion 12 and an atomizer / liquid reservoir portion 14. Together the battery portion 12 and the atomizer / liquid reservoir portion 14 form a cylindrical tube which can be approximately the same size and shape as a conventional cigarette, typically about 100 mm with a 7.5 mm diameter, although lengths may range from 70 to 150 or 180 mm, and dia...

Abstract

The invention relates to a module (40, 140, 240) for powering an electronic smoking device portion (10, 12, 14, 100). The module (40, 140, 240) comprises a first coupling element (41) adapted to connect to the electronic smoking device portion (10, 12, 14, 100), a second coupling element (42) adapted to connect to a portable electronic device (50), and a power supply element (60) adapted for powering the electronic smoking device portion (10, 12, 14, 0). The power supply element (60) comprises an energy storage (60). The module (40, 140, 240) is adapted to supply energy, received from the portable electronic device (50) via the second coupling element (42), to the energy storage (60).

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to modules for powering an electronic smoking device portion, and in particular to a module for powering an electronic cigarette.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]An electronic smoking device, such as an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette), typically has a housing accommodating an electric power source (e.g. a single use or rechargeable battery, electrical plug, or other power source), and an electrically operable atomizer. The atomizer vaporizes or atomizes liquid supplied from a reservoir and provides vaporized or atomized liquid as an aerosol. Control electronics control the activation of the atomizer. In some electronic cigarettes, an airflow sensor is provided within the electronic smoking device, which detects a user puffing on the device (e.g., by sensing an under-pressure or an air flow pattern through the device). The airflow sensor indicates or signals the puff to the control electronics to power up the device a...
