Abstract

An e-vaping device includes a first section capable of containing a liquid material. The first section includes a heater capable of vaporizing the liquid material, and a wick capable of drawing the liquid material to the heater. A male threaded connection with non-standard male threads is on one end of the first section. The e-vaping device also includes a second section with a power supply. The second section includes a female threaded connection on one end, where the female threaded connection includes female threads that mate with the non-standard male threads of the first section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An e-vapor device, comprising:
a first section, the first section including,
an outer cylindrical tube extending in a longitudinal direction,
an inner cylindrical tube within the outer cylindrical tube,
a liquid supply comprising a liquid material, the liquid supply contained in an outer annulus between the outer cylindrical tube and the inner cylindrical tube,
a heater located in the inner cylindrical tube,
a wick in communication with the liquid supply and in communication with the heater,
a mouth piece in fluid communication with the inner cylindrical tube at a proximal end of the first section, and
a male threaded connector at a distal end of the first section, the male threaded connector having first threads with a non-standard pitch; and

a second section, the second section including,
a power supply, and
a female threaded connector at a proximal end of the second section, the female threaded connector having second threads mating with the non-standard pitch of the first threads,
wherein a major diameter of the male and female threads is 7.00 mm and the non-standard pitch of the first and second threads is 0.6 mm, and the second threads have a root radius of 0.108 mm, a pitch diameter of 6.513 mm, a minor diameter of 6.188 mm, a thread height of 0.406 mm, and a tap drill diameter of 6.20 mm.

2. The e-vapor device of claim 1 , wherein the first threads have a root radius of 0.108 mm, a pitch diameter of 6.513 mm, a minor diameter of 6.080 mm, a thread height of 0.460 mm, and a tap drill diameter of 6.20 mm.

3. An e-vapor device, comprising:
a section, the section including,
an outer cylindrical tube extending in a longitudinal direction,
an inner cylindrical tube within the outer cylindrical tube,
a liquid supply comprising a liquid material, the liquid supply contained in an outer annulus between the outer cylindrical tube and the inner cylindrical tube,
a heater located in the inner cylindrical tube,
a wick in communication with the liquid supply and in communication with the heater,
a mouth piece in fluid communication the inner cylindrical tube at a proximal end of the section, and
a male threaded connector at a distal end of the section, the male threaded connector having threads with a non-standard pitch,
wherein a major diameter of the threads is 7.00 mm and the non-standard pitch of the threads is 0.6 mm, and the threads have a root radius of 0.108 mm, a pitch diameter of 6.513 mm, a minor diameter of 6.080 mm, a thread height of 0.460 mm, and a tap drill diameter of 6.20 mm.
