Abstract

Inhaler, comprising a vaporizer device with at least one electric vaporizer for vaporizing liquid supplied to the vaporizer, at least one electrical line for an electrical voltage supply to the vaporizer, and a receptacle for retaining a replaceable liquid reservoir which is fluidically connectable to the vaporizer via an opening, wherein the receptacle comprises a device which forces the replaceable liquid reservoir with the opening into direct abutment with the vaporizer.

Claims (28)

1 . An inhaler, comprising:

a vaporizer device, wherein the vaporizer device comprises:

at least one electrical vaporizer for vaporizing liquid supplied to the at least one electrical vaporizer,

at least one electrical line connected to an electrical voltage supply of the vaporizer, and

a receptacle for retaining a replaceable liquid reservoir, which is configured to fluidically connect to the at least one electrical vaporizer via an opening,

wherein the receptacle comprises a device which forces the replaceable liquid reservoir with the opening into direct abutment with the vaporizer.

2 . The inhaler according to claim 1 ,

wherein a seal is provided between the at least one electrical vaporizer and the replaceable liquid reservoir sealing the opening to the outside.

3 . The inhaler according to claim 1 ,

wherein the device comprises a clamping device actuated by a magnetic force.

4 . The inhaler according to claim 1 ,

wherein the device comprises a spring-loaded pressing piece.

5 . The inhaler according to claim 4 ,

wherein the spring-loaded pressing piece is spring-loaded in a direction of an intended flow direction in the inhaler.

6 . The inhaler according to claim 4 ,

wherein the spring-loaded pressing piece is spring-loaded point-symmetrically to a longitudinal axis (L) of the spring-loaded pressing piece.

7 . A replaceable liquid reservoir for an inhaler comprising:

a hollow space which is filled with at least one liquid and is releasable via an opening, and

a wick structure for transporting the at least one liquid out of the hollow space,

wherein the opening is enclosed by a seal, and is closed via a foil bonded to the seal.

8 . The replaceable liquid reservoir according to claim 7 ,

wherein the wick structure is formed by a sponge filling at least the opening.

9 . The replaceable liquid reservoir according to claim 8 ,

wherein the sponge completely fills the hollow space.

10 . The replaceable liquid reservoir according to claim 8 ,

wherein the sponge is flexible in itself.

11 . The replaceable liquid reservoir according to claim 8 ,

wherein the sponge is thermally stable up to a temperature of 300° C.
