- the member 84 functions as a second electrical contact with the battery charging device (not shown).
- the contact 82 has an extended member 88 that passes through the aperture 80 and attaches to a conductor leading toward a battery being charged.
- the coaxial contact 82 may be realized in other configurations, e.g., a coaxial ring, and may have appears in profile as a domed or pointed tip contact.
- the member 88 could have many configurations on cross section, for example, tubular, square or rectangular, and could be hollow or solid.
- Several recesses 92 are formed externally along the circumference of the cap 72 for permitting air flow from outside and into the battery section 12 ( FIG. 1 ) during normal smoking operation.
- the member 84 and the flange 74 are coated with nickel or gold to minimize corrosion and enhance electrical conductivity with the battery charging device.
- Contacts on the battery charging device are typically also coated with nickel or gold, and configured to mate with the contacts of the adaptor 70 . Details of the battery charger are presented below.
- the insert 76 is manufactured of a plastic having a translucency and diffusing property so that light from a light emitting diode (LED) (not shown) within the device diffuses at the tip, i.e., throughout the insert 76 , so as to prevent recognition of internal structures and shadows by an observer.
- LED light emitting diode
- This effect may be enhanced by including tiny crystals, e.g., glass crystals, within the plastic.
- the wire (not shown) in the aerosol generating device would constitute a relatively low resistance load on the charger, and would defeat the charging function.
- FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of electrical circuitry in an electronic cigarette 94 adapted to a battery charger in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- a battery charger electrode assembly 96 is provided with magnets 98 , which are attracted to external contacts 100 , 102 . As the contacts 100 , 102 incorporate a ferromagnetic material, they are urged into firm electrical contact with the magnets 98 by magnetic attraction. Positive and negative terminals 111 conduct the output of a conventional battery charger (not shown).
- the circuit arrangement comprises a first circuit supplying the aerosol generating device of the cigarette 94 and a second charging circuit extending from the contacts 100 , 102 to the battery 104 .
- a diode 108 is interposed in the second circuit between contact 100 and positive terminal 110 of battery 104 .
- the diode 108 permits the battery 104 to be charged, but prevents outflow of electricity to external contacts 100 , 102 if the contacts 100 , 102 are inadvertently connected so as to cause a short circuit.
- the positive terminal 110 is also connected to a contact 112 of a pressure sensor chip assembly 114 disposed at or near the tip of the cigarette 94 .
- Another external contact, contact 102 is connected in common to ground point 116 of the sensor chip assembly 114 , to negative terminal 118 of the battery 104 , and to the connector 106 .
- the connector 106 is typically a threaded connector joining the battery section with the aerosol generating device section of the cigarette 94 , as described above with reference to FIG. 1 .
- a wire 120 connects the aerosol generating device with the sensor chip assembly 114 at a contact point 122 .
- cigarette 94 is connected to a battery charger, e.g., a USB charger, via assembly 96 , if a user draws on the cigarette 94 , he causes the aerosol generating device to be actuated in normal smoking operation.
- a battery charger e.g., a USB charger
- power flow from the battery charger to the battery both charges the battery and powers the aerosol generating device if the battery is not sufficiently charged.
- the assembly 96 comprises the magnets 98 , which are held by magnetic attraction against ferromagnetic disks 124 , to which are bonded (e.g., soldered) wire leads 126 originating from the battery charger (not shown). This construction avoids the difficult operation of soldering the wire leads 126 directly onto the magnets 98 , which would likely impair the magnets 98 .
- FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of electrical circuitry in an electronic cigarette 130 adapted to a battery charger in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- the battery charger assembly 96 is now connected to a side port 128 of an electronic cigarette 130 having external contacts 132 , 134 , which connect in a circuit including the diode 108 and the positive terminal 110 of the battery 104 within battery compartment 105 , as in the previous embodiment.
- the sensor chip assembly 114 When the sensor chip assembly 114 is actuated as the user smokes, it actuates a switch, shown representatively as relay 136 , thereby breaking the charger circuit so that the charger is no longer operative.
- the sensor chip assembly 114 is typically disposed within or near cigarette tip 115 .
- the battery 104 then feeds power to aerosol generating device 137 .
- the aerosol generating device 137 and the battery compartment 105 may be joined by a threaded connector 139 . Once the user is no longer inhaling, the sensor chip assembly 114 operates the relay 136 to again make the circuit and enable charging to continue.
- FIG. 25 is a block diagram of electrical circuitry for charging an electronic cigarette, in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- charging control circuitry 223 for charging control and control switch 225 for smoking control.

- the charging control circuitry 223 is linked to the control switch 225 , a rechargeable battery 227 , and a sensor unit having control circuitry 229 .
- the control switch 225 enables and disables the charging control circuitry 223 from charging the battery 227 as commanded by control signals from the circuitry 229 .
- the circuitry 229 is actuated to disable the charging control circuitry 223 when a pressure sensor (not shown) detects a pressure difference from the ambient atmosphere, indicating that the user of the electronic cigarette is inhaling.
- a pressure sensor not shown
- the control switch 225 is commanded to enable the charging control circuitry 223 , allowing the battery 227 to continue charging.
- control switch 225 when the control switch 225 detects that the battery charger 221 is connected to the system, it automatically connects the circuitry 229 (sensor and aerosol generating device coil control) to operate directly from the battery charger 221 .
- the battery charger 221 performs two functions, according to the state of the control switch 225 : (1) Charging the battery; and (2) supplying power to the cigarette for smoking.
- the only limitation is that the battery charger 221 has sufficient output capacity to support charging and smoking at the same time.
- the electrical circuitry may selectively operate in either a first mode, wherein power flow to the battery is disabled when the aerosol generating device is activated by a user drawing on the electronic cigarette and is enabled when the aerosol generating device is not activated or may operate in a second mode, wherein power flow to the battery is enabled when the aerosol generating device is activated by the user drawing on the electronic cigarette and when the aerosol generating device is not activated.
- a first mode battery charging is disabled while a puff is being taken on the electronic cigarette.
- the second mode battery charging continues concurrently with puffing on the electronic cigarette.
- FIG. 15 is a detailed schematic diagram of electrical circuitry 149 of an electronic cigarette adapted to a battery charger 150 in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- the circuitry 149 allows concurrent smoking and charging.
- the circuitry shown in FIG. 14 will only charge the battery—between puffs, i.e., when the aerosol generating device is not actuated.
- Scenario A The charger 150 is not connected.
- Microcontroller 159 and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC 161 ) are constantly connected to battery cell 163 in cigarette 165 .
- the output 4-GP2 of microcontroller 159 is set to “0”, and transistor Q 1 169 is “open”, meaning that output OUT 1 on the ASIC 161 is connected to output connector J 3 .
- Output 1-GPO of microcontroller 159 exactly duplicates the signal from sensor S 167 (When sensor S 167 is disconnected, 1-GPO shows a logical “1”; and when sensor S 167 is connected, 1-GPO of microcontroller 159 shows a logical “0”).
- the sensor S 167 may be realized as an analog circuit, with appropriate modification of the microcontroller 159 to accommodate an analog device, for example, by including an analog-to-digital converter as is known in the art.
- the cigarette 165 works the same as usual, and the circuitry 149 does not affect the operation of the cigarette 165 , since the input 6-GP3 of microcontroller 159 shows a logical “0”, which indicates that the charger 150 is not connected.
- Scenario B The charger 150 is connected.
- a logical “1” is produced constantly at the output 1-GPO of the microcontroller 159 , meaning that the ASIC 161 no longer controls sensor S 167 .
- the transistor Q 1 169 is also closed in this state, meaning that there is no electrical connection between OUT 1 of the ASIC 161 and the output connector J 3 .
- the voltage from the charger 150 is being directed via connectors J 1 , J 2 to the input OUT 1 of ASIC 161 and goes out through output OUT 2 of ASIC 161 , to the cell 163 , resulting in the charging of the cell 163 .
- the signal from the sensor S 167 arrives at the input 3-GP1 of the microcontroller 159 , which then does the following:
- Transistor Q 1 169 opens, and the power travels from the charger 150 through the transistor Q 1 169 and goes to the heating element of the cartridge (not shown) in the cigarette 165 , and at the same time the power charges the cell 163 (if it is not fully charged).
- LED's are included with the ASIC 161 or separate from the ASIC 161 and controlled by the microcontroller 159 in either case. These LED's inform the user of the status of the ASIC 161 and simulate smoking activity.
- circuitry 149 In another embodiment of the circuit all the functionality of the circuitry 149 may be incorporated into the ASIC.
- FIG. 16 is a side elevation of a cradle 154 for connection to a battery charging device in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- This version features a circular ring 152 that engages the tip of a cigarette, holding it in contact with the cradle 154 .
- the ring 152 should be made of a rubbery material such as silicone, in order to facilitate holding a cigarette tip inside the cradle 154 by friction.
- Notches 156 retain magnet 64 .
- FIG. 17 is a top view of the cradle 154 , showing the ring 152 , and the magnets 64 , 66 in place.
- FIG. 18 is a sectional view through the cradle 154 , illustrating the magnet 64 being held in place by the notches 156 .
- FIG. 19 is a partially cut-away view of an electronic cigarette charging system 171 , which is constructed and operative in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- This embodiment like the embodiment shown in FIG. 14 , uses a side-port on the electronic cigarette to connect to a cradle 175 housing battery charging circuitry 177 .
- Use of the system 171 avoids any need for disassembly of an electronic cigarette 173 . Indeed, the electronic cigarette 173 may be temporarily removed during charging, puffing resumed, and the electronic cigarette then replaced in the cradle 175 to continue charging the battery of the electronic cigarette.
- a universal serial bus (USB) adaptor 179 connects a source of power (not shown), e.g., a laptop computer to the circuitry 177 via a cable 185 .
- a source of power not shown
- electrical contacts 181 on the cradle 175 mate with side port electrical contacts 183 , which may be magnetic, or spring-loaded, and which are disposed along the barrel of the electronic cigarette 173 , as best seen in FIG. 14
- the side-charging configuration can also allow for puffing while the cigarette is inside the cradle 175 .
- the circuitry shown in FIG. 15 may be used.
- FIG. 20 , FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 are, respectively, an elevation and two cutaway views of a tip of an electronic cigarette that is constructed and operative to engage a battery charger in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- An outer metallic ring or band 189 functions as one electrical contact with the battery charger.
- the band 189 is typically, but not necessarily, the positive contact. As seen in FIG. 22 , it extends proximally, and is exposed to the interior of body 195 of the electronic cigarette at a point 203 .
- a centrally located metallic plug 191 functions as the other electrical contact, typically the negative pole.
- the band 189 and the plug 191 may be magnetic, or constructed of a paramagnetic material. Wires (not shown), lead from the band 189 and the plug 191 to a battery within the body of the cigarette as discussed above, or to regulatory circuitry, e.g., circuitry 149 ( FIG. 15 ).
- a member 193 appears on FIG. 20 as a ring separating the band 189 from the plug 191 .
- the member 193 has a first function: it acts as an electrical insulator between the two contacts, band 189 and plug 191 . It is formed of an electrically non-conductive material.
- the member 193 has a second function: placing the interior of the body 195 into fluid communication with ambient air as seen in FIG. 21 , so as to facilitate operation of a pressure sensor, e.g., sensor 24 ( FIG. 1 ).
- the member 193 achieves this using a groove or channel 197 formed therein, which emerges onto the exterior of the tip at a point 199 and debouches into the interior of the body 195 at point 201 .
- the member 193 has a third function: simulating the glow of a conventional cigarette tip.
- the member 193 is typically composed of a plastic having an opacity and diffusing property so that light from a LED (not shown) within the body 195 diffuses when it passes through the member 193 , so as to mask internal structures and internal shadows produced by the LED, such that their features cannot be perceived by an observer. This effect may be enhanced by including tiny crystals, e.g., glass crystals, within the plastic.
- FIG. 23 is a cut-away view of a portion of a barrel 215 of an electronic cigarette 211 having a LED cap 207 , in accordance with an alternate embodiment of the invention.
- This embodiment is a modification of the tip adaptor 34 shown in FIGS. 2 , 3 and 4 , which accommodates a sensor in an internal chamber, and may include integrated circuitry.
- the LED cap 207 is mostly inset into the end of the barrel 215 , and lacks the electrical contact mechanisms of the adaptor 34 for tip-charging the electronic cigarette.
- the LED cap 207 may be constructed of a plastic material as described for the member 193 ( FIG. 20 ).
- a sensor unit 209 occupies the interior of the LED cap 207 , and is an embodiment of the sensor 24 ( FIG. 1 ), but instead of being inside a plastic housing of its own, the sensor unit 209 is now disposed inside the LED cap 207 in order to save space. Electrical circuitry associated with or incorporated in the sensor unit 209 may enable the aerosol generating device and perform various additional functions as may be required for the operation of the electronic cigarette 211 .
- the LED cap 207 has a perforation 213 for communication between the sensor unit 209 and the ambient atmosphere.
- a battery 217 powers the electronic cigarette 211 as described above.
- FIG. 24 is a sectional view of the electronic cigarette 211 shown in FIG. 23 , illustrating structural details of the sensor unit 209 and its relationship with the LED cap 207 and perforation 213 .
