Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A non-nicotine e-vaping device may include a non-nicotine pod assembly and a device body defining a through hole configured to receive the non-nicotine pod assembly. The non-nicotine pod assembly is configured to hold a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The through hole of the device body includes at least one sidewall that is configured to deflect during an insertion of the non-nicotine pod assembly. One or more sidewalls of the through hole may include at least one protrusion configured to engage with corresponding recesses of the non-nicotine pod assembly so as to retain the non-nicotine pod assembly within the through hole of the device body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A non-nicotine e-vaping device, comprising: a non-nicotine pod assembly configured to hold a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation, the non-nicotine pod assembly having an upstream end and a downstream end, the upstream end defining at least one upstream recess, the downstream end defining at least one downstream recess; and a device body defining a through hole configured to receive the non-nicotine pod assembly, the through hole including an upstream sidewall and a downstream sidewall, at least one of the upstream sidewall or the downstream sidewall configured to deflect during an insertion of the non-nicotine pod assembly, the upstream sidewall including at least one upstream protrusion, the downstream sidewall including at least one downstream protrusion, the at least one upstream protrusion and the at least one downstream protrusion configured to engage with the at least one upstream recess and the at least one downstream recess, respectively, so as to retain the non-nicotine pod assembly within the through hole of the device body.
