Cartridge cover for personal vaporizer
First Claim
1. A cover configured to removably fit over a cartridge attached to a battery pack, the cartridge having an atomizer with air intake holes, the atomizer attachable to the battery pack at a distal end, a cartridge outer wall extending proximally from the atomizer and enclosing a fluid chamber and an elongated vapor passage, the cartridge further having a mouthpiece seat and a vapor outlet that communicates with the vapor passage, the vapor outlet being proximal the mouthpiece seat, the atomizer configured to selectively vaporize fluid received from the fluid chamber within a vaporization chamber, the vaporized fluid exiting the vaporization chamber and flowing through the vapor passage to and through the vapor outlet, the cover comprising:
- an elongated body defining an internal lumen, the elongated body sized to fit concentrically over the cartridge so as to completely encase the cartridge within the cover internal lumen, a distal end of the cover being internally threaded so as to engage external threads on a mount boss of the battery pack;
one or more holes formed through the cover elongated body proximal the distal end of the cover and configured to communicate with air intake holes of the atomizer;
a proximal end of the cover having a mouthpiece receiver configured to receive a mouthpiece; and
a sealing structure configured to engage the cartridge outer wall so as to create an airtight seal between the one or more holes formed through the cover elongated body and the vapor outlet of the cartridge when the cover is engaged with the battery;
wherein when the cover is engaged with a cartridge the cover internal lumen comprises an intake chamber defined distal of the sealing member and an outlet chamber defined proximal the sealing member.

Abstract
A cartridge is selectively usable with a personal vaporizer. The cartridge may include a chamber for holding a vaporizing medium such as a liquid solution. The cartridge may also include an atomizer that can be manufactured as a unit with the chamber. The cartridge can be attached to a vaporizer structure such as a battery assembly. A cartridge cover fits over and encloses the cartridge therewithin. The cartridge cover can employ decorative aspects that match or complement decorative aspects of the battery assembly.

5. A cover configured to fit over a cartridge attached to a battery assembly, the battery assembly having a mount boss having a first connector and a second connector, the cartridge having an atomizer coupled with a fluid chamber, a cartridge outer wall enclosing the fluid chamber and an elongated vapor passage, the atomizer attached to the battery assembly first connector, the cover comprising:
-
an elongated body defining an internal lumen, the elongated body sized to fit concentrically over the cartridge outer wall so as to completely encase the cartridge within the cover internal lumen, a distal end of the cover being selectively attachable to the battery assembly second connector; a sealing structure configured to create an airtight or semi-airtight seal between an internal surface of the cover and an external surface of the cartridge outer wall when the cover is engaged with the battery second connector; wherein when the cover is engaged with a cartridge the cover internal lumen comprises an intake chamber defined distal of the sealing member and an outlet chamber defined proximal of the sealing member. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
