Electronic Cigarette with Function Illuminator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic cigarette apparatus for generating an aerosol of a fluid in response to air being drawn therethrough, comprising:
- a housing having;
a tip with a translucent portion, a mouthpiece with an aerosol outlet opening formed therethrough, and an electric power supply disposed therein;
a fluid reservoir, for containing the fluid;
an atomizer assembly coupled to receive the fluid from said fluid reservoir, and operable to selectively generate an aerosol of the fluid;
a draw pressure sensor pneumatically coupled to generate a draw signal in response to detection of a pressure change induced while air is drawn out of said aerosol outlet;
a draw control circuit operable to activate said atomizer assembly in response to said draw signal, thereby selectively outputting said aerosol to said aerosol output, and further operable to output a lamp signal in response to said draw signal, anda lamp circuit having an actuator, a first color lamp and a second color lamp, both aligned to illuminate said tip, and operable to selectively, and alternatively in response to subsequent actuations of said actuator, select between illuminating said first color lamp and said second color lamp in response to said lamp signal.

Abstract
An electronic cigarette with an illumination function, and that generates an aerosol of a fluid when air is drawn through it, includes a housing with a translucent tip, a mouthpiece, and a battery. A fluid reservoir and an atomizer assembly selectively generate an aerosol of the fluid. A draw pressure sensor generates a draw signal in response to a pressure change induced while air is drawn out of the mouthpiece. A draw control circuit activates the atomizer assembly in response to the draw signal. The draw circuit also outputs a lamp signal in response to the draw signal. A lamp circuit with an actuator, a first color lamp, and a second color lamp that are both aligned to illuminate the tip. The lamp circuit selectively, and alternatively in response to subsequent actuations of the actuator, selects between illuminating the first color lamp and the second color lamp in response to the lamp signal.
