`AEROSOL ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE
`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`
`[000l]The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette, in particular, an aerosol electronic
`
`cigarette that doesn't co11tai11 tar but nicotine.
`
`BACKGROUND ART
`
`[0002]Today when "smoking is hannful to your health" has become a common sense, there are
`
`one billion people smoking cigarettes, and this figure is still rising. On Mar. 1, 2003, the World
`
`Health Organization (WHO) issued the first international smoking ban--Framework Convention
`
`on Tobacco Control. According to WHO'S data, smoking causes 4,900,000 deaths each year.
`
`Smoking causes serious respiratory system diseases and cancers, though it is a hard job to
`
`persuade the smokers to completely quit smoking.
`
`[0003]Nicoti11e is the effective ingredient of cigarette, which produces a lot of tar mist as the
`
`cigarette bums. The tar mist accesses the pulmonary alveolus and is quickly absorbed i11to the
`
`blood. Nicotine thus acts on the receptor of the central nervous system, bringing the euphoria
`
`like stimulant drugs to the smokers, who feel light in the head and 011 Wings as Well.
`
`Exhibit 1010-00009
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No. 3ANLEA—00 1 -DIV
`
`[0004]Nicotine is a micromolecular alkaloid, which is basically harmless to human bodies with a
`
`small dosage. Plus, its half life period is extremely short in blood. Tar is the major harmful
`
`substance in tobacco. Tobacco tar comprises of several thousands of ingredients, dozens of
`
`which are carcinogenic substances. It has now been proved that second hand smoking is even
`
`more harmful to those who don't smoke.
`
`[0O05]To seek the cigarette substitutes that don't contain harmful tar but nicotine, many
`
`inventors have used the relatively pure nicotine to create such products as "Cigarette Patch",
`
`"Nicotine Gargle", "Aerosol Packed in the High Pressure Tank with Propellant", "Nicotine
`
`Chewing Gum", and "Nicotine Beverage". These products are not as harmful as tar, but are
`
`absorbed very slowly. As a result, its peak concentration can't be effectively established in blood,
`
`and the smokers can't be satisfied to the full. In addition, the smokers are deprived of the
`
`"smoking" habit. Therefore, the substituting products are not real cigarette substitutes or products
`
`helping to quit smoking.
`
`[0006] The electronic cigarettes currently available on the market may resolve the above-
`
`mentioned issue, though they are complicated in structure. Their cigarette bodies can be roughly
`
`divided into three sections, which have to be connected through via plugging or thread coupling
`
`before use. Also, their batteries have to be changed frequently, making it inconvenient for the
`
`users. What's worse, the electronic cigarettes don't provide the ideal aerosol effects, and their
`
`atomizing efficiency is not high.
`
`Exhibit 1010-00010
`
`
`
`CONTENTS OF INVENTION
`
`Attorney Docket No. JANLEA-O0 l -DIV
`
`[0OO7]To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages, this invention has been designed to
`
`provide an aerosol electronic cigarette that substitutes for cigarettes and helps the smokers to quit
`
`smoking .
`
`[0008]The ptupose of this invention is fulfilled with the following technical solution: an aerosol
`
`electronic cigarette includes a battery assembly, an atomizer assembly and a cigarette bottle
`
`assembly, and also includes a shell, which is hollow and integrally formed. The said battery
`
`assembly connects with the said atomizer assembly and both are located iii the said shell. The
`
`said cigarette bottle assembly is located in one end of the shell, which is detachable. The said
`
`cigarette bottle assembly fits with the said atomizer assembly. The said shell has through—air—
`
`inlets.
`
`[O009]The additional features of this invention are as follows: the said battery assembly includes
`
`the battery, and the operating indicator, electronic circuit board, and airflow sensor, which are
`
`connected with the said battery; the signal output of the said airflow sensor is connected with the
`
`said electronic circuit board.
`
`[OOlO]It also includes a check valve. The said battery is a rechargeable battery, which has a
`
`flexibly connected charging plug. The blades of the said plug come out of the other end of the
`
`said shell.
`
`Exhibit 1010-00011
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No. JANLEA—O0 1 -DIV
`
`[001 1]Between the said charging plug and rechargeable battery is a spring, which lies against the
`
`body of the said rechargeable battery on one end, and its free end lies against the said charging
`
`plug.
`
`[OO12]The said battery is a rechargeable battery, which has a charging slot on it. The said
`
`operating indicator is a LED.
`
`[001 3]The said airflow sensor may be alternatively a semiconductor force~sensitive chip
`
`capacitance sensor or an inductance sensor.
`
`[0014]The said electronic circuit board includes an electronic switch circuit.
`
`[OO15]The said airflow sensor has a silica gel corrugated membrane, which connects with
`
`magnetic steel with a reed relay on one of its ends. Both ends of the said reed relay correspond to
`
`the relay electrodes.
`
`[00l6]The said airflow sensor has a silica gel corrugated membrane, which connects with
`
`magnetic steel with a Hall element or a magneto-diode or a magneto-triode on one of its ends.
`
`[0O17]The said atomizer assembly is an atomizer, which includes a porous component and a
`
`heating body.
`
`Exhibit 1010-00012
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No. JANLEA-O01-DIV

`
`[O037]Tl1is invention will bring the following benefits: (1) For this invention, the perforated
`
`component for liquid storage of the cigarette bottle assembly stores the nicotine liquid only,
`
`which doesn't contain cigarette tar, considerably reducing the carcinogenic risks of smoking. At
`
`the same time, the smokers can still enjoy the feel and excitement of smoking, and there is no
`
`fire hazard since there is no need for igniting. (2) For this invention, the battery assembly and
`
`atomizer assembly are directly installed inside the shell, and then connected with the cigarette
`
`bottle assembly. That is, there is just one comiection between two parts, resulting in a very
`
`simple structure. For use or change, you just need to plug the cigarette holder into the sl1ell,
`
`providing great convenience. When the nicotine liquid iii the cigarette bottle assembly is used up
`
`or the cigarette bottle assembly is damaged and needs to be changed, the operation will be
`
`extremely easy. (3) For this invention, the rechargeable battery inside the battery assembly has a
`
`charging plug, whose blades come out of the shell. When the rechargeable battery inside the
`
`electronic cigarette runs out of power, it may be directly plugged into the charger for charging,
`
`with no need to remove the rechargeable battery, resulting in very easy use. (4) For this
`
`Exhibit 1010-00016
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No. JANLEA-00 l -DIV
`
`invention, the charging device includes the charger and the auxiliary charging storage battery.
`
`The electronic cigarette is put inside the charger when not in use, and then the charging device
`
`may be electrified to charge the electronic cigarette and the auxiliary charging storage battery as
`
`well. In the event that power supply is not available for the charging device, the auxiliary
`
`charging storage battery may be used to charge the electronic cigarette. Therefore, the electronic
`
`cigarette can be charged anywhere you go, and it is very suitable for use when you are on a
`
`business or tourist trip. Further, the charging device includes a spare liquid supply bottle, which
`
`contains nicotine liquid for spare use when you are on a business or tourist trip. (5) For this
`
`invention, on one end of the shell of the cigarette bottle assembly, there is an air channel
`
`extending inward. The electronic cigarette works to produce mist, which flows to the shell,
`
`generating some fine drips; the fine drips are condensed into bigger drips, which fall along the
`
`exterior wall of the air channel into the cavity of the shell of the cigarette bottle assembly, so that
`
`they are not inhaled by the smoker out of the air channel. (6) In addition, with a little bit
`
`modification to the liquid storage, the unit and its connecting structure of this invention may also
`
`be loaded with drugs for delivery to the lung.
