US Patent 10301077 Electronic cigarette tank

A tank for containing e-liquid in an electronic cigarette assembly is disclosed. The tank comprises a cap and a body. The cap is connectable to the body through a screw thread with a specified handedness, and the body is connected to a battery assembly through a second screw thread with an opposite handedness to the screw thread of the cap. A construction of the tank ensures than when opening the cap, the body is not inadvertently unscrewed from the battery, and likewise when removing the body from the battery the cap is not inadvertently unscrewed from the body, thus preventing unintended e-liquid spillage and improving ease of removal of the cap and the body.
