Abstract

The present invention provides an electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device, including an electronic cigarette enclosure of a barrel shape and with an opened end and a closure component engaged and pressed against the opened end of the enclosure for closing the opened end; the closure component and enclosure are independent components individually manufactured and then assembled together; the closure component is no less than the enclosure in hardness, the electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device further includes a holding mechanism disposed at the connection location between the closure component and enclosure and engaged and pressed against the enclosure such that the closure component and enclosure are firmly pressed against each other. The holding mechanism enhances the connection stability between the enclosure and closure.

Claims

1. An electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device, comprising an electronic cigarette enclosure of a barrel shape and with an opened end and a closure component engaged and pressed against the opened end of the enclosure for closing the opened end;

the closure component and enclosure are independent components individually manufactured and then assembled together;

the closure component is no less than the enclosure in hardness, wherein the electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device further comprises a holding mechanism disposed at the connection location between the closure component and enclosure and engaged and pressed against the enclosure such that the closure component and enclosure are firmly pressed against each other.

2. The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the opened end of the enclosure is tightly sleeved on the outside of the closure component, while the holding mechanism is tightly sleeved on the outside of the opened end of the enclosure.

3. The holding device according to claim 2, wherein both ends of the enclosure are opened and both opened ends are sleeved tightly on the outside of a closure component respectively;

the outside of the opened ends of the enclosure are encircled by the holding mechanism described above respectively.

4. The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the closure component is tightly sleeved on the outside of the opened end of the electronic cigarette enclosure, while the holding mechanism is placed inside the opened end of the enclosure and pressed against and supports internally an inner wall of the enclosure.

5. The holding device according to claim 4, wherein the two ends of the enclosure are opened and each opened end thereof is encircled by a closure component at outside;

a holding mechanism is contained inside each opened end of the enclosure.

6. The holding device according to claim 1, wherein the holding mechanism is a circular holding ring.

7. The holding device according to claim 1, wherein a paper layer for showing commercials or trademark surrounds the outside of the electronic cigarette enclosure;

the layer wraps the rest exposed portion of the enclosure therein.

8. An electronic cigarette, comprising an electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device having a soft electronic cigarette enclosure and a closure component, a cigar liquid cup located in the enclosure for storing cigar liquid, and an atomizer for transforming cigar liquid into smoke, wherein the electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device is the electronic cigarette soft enclosure holding device as described in claim 1.

9. The electronic cigarette according to claim 8, wherein the electronic cigarette is of a multi-pieced construction and includes a absorption stem and a power source stem which are connected with each other detachably.

10. The electronic cigarette according to claim 9, wherein the absorption stem includes a sleeve with hollow cavity, the cigar liquid cup disposed in the sleeve, and the atomizer;

the absorption stem sleeve is constructed of soft rubber material;

a liquid storage component is contained in the cigar liquid cup;

a through hole serving as a smoke path and running axially is defined in a middle portion of the liquid storage component;
