Reservoir assembly for non-nicotine e-vaping device
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11925208B2) discloses a reservoir assembly designed for a non-nicotine e-vaping device. The assembly includes structures defining a reservoir for holding a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation, a connector assembly to establish fluid communication with a vaporizer assembly, and an isolation structure that can move between positions to control the exposure of the vaporizer assembly to the reservoir. The design allows for the prevention of disengagement of the connector element and enables easy refilling of the reservoir through fluid ports.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a non-nicotine vapor generator assembly incorporating the reservoir assembly and a non-nicotine vaporizer assembly. This setup includes features such as fluid ports for communication with the exterior, an isolation structure for regulating access to the reservoir, and a bayonet connector system for secure attachment. The assembly can be refilled through designated ports and offers flexibility in controlling the exposure of the vaporizer assembly to the reservoir. Additionally, the patent extends to a non-nicotine e-vaping device that includes the vapor generator assembly and a power supply assembly for supplying electrical power to the vaporizer assembly, with the option of a rechargeable battery and the ability to decouple the power supply assembly from the vapor generator assembly.
