CAPSULE FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRONIC SMOKING DEVICE

摘要

A capsule (6) for use with an electronic smoking device (1) is provided where liquid for atomisation by an electric atomiser is contained within a cavity enclosed by an end wall (50); a lateral wall (50); and a puncturable membrane (34). One or more grooves (54) are provided on the inner face (52) of the lateral wall (50) adjacent the cavity. When the puncturable membrane (34) is punctured the one or more grooves (54) act to provide air channels adjacent the lateral wall (50) facilitating air to pass into the cavity as the liquid leaves the cavity via the puncture in the puncturable membrane (34).

1. A capsule for use with an electronic smoking device, the capsule (6) comprising:
a shell (30) having a lateral wall (50) which extends away from an end wall (51), the lateral wall (50) and the end wall (51) defining a cavity open at one end (32); a puncturable membrane (34) enclosing the open end (32) of the cavity defined by the end wall (51) and the lateral wall (50); and a liquid contained within the cavity by the shell (30) and the puncturable membrane (34); characterised in that an inner face (52) of the lateral wall (50) of the shell (30) adjacent the cavity is provided with one or more grooves (54) wherein when the puncturable membrane (34) is punctured the one or more grooves (54) act to provide air channels adjacent the lateral wall (50) of the shell (30) facilitating air to pass into the cavity as the liquid leaves the cavity via the puncture in the puncturable membrane (34).
