Electronic cigarette anti-roll case

Abstract

One or more features of an electronic cigarette or an electronic cigarette charging case is configured to hold the electronic cigarette in place and inhibit it from rolling and charge the electronic cigarette.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An anti-roll system comprising:
 an electronic smoking device; and   a charging case comprising at least one anti-roll feature configured to inhibit the electronic smoking device from rolling away from the charging case and configured to charge or hold the electronic smoking device;   wherein the charging case comprises a plurality of connectors configured to electrically couple the electronic smoking device and the charging case.   
     
     
         2 . The anti-roll system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate charging of a battery coupled with the electronic smoking device. 
     
     
         3 . The anti-roll system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate communication between the electronic smoking device and one or more of the charging case and external circuitry. 
     
     
         4 . The anti-roll system of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-roll feature comprises a groove configured to hold the electronic smoking device, and wherein the groove is located on an exterior surface of the charging case and, wherein the plurality of connectors are located in the groove. 
     
     
         5 . The anti-roll system of  claim 4 , wherein the groove is located on one of an anterior surface of the charging case, a posterior surface of the charging case, or a lateral surface of the charging case. 
     
     
         6 . An anti-roll system comprising:
 an electronic smoking device; and   a charging stand configured to charge or hold the electronic smoking device;   wherein the charging stand comprises
 a plurality of connectors configured to electrically couple with the electronic smoking device, 
 at least one anti-roll feature configured to inhibit the electronic smoking device from rolling away from the charging stand, and 
 a connector, where the connector electrically couples the plurality of connectors with external circuitry. 
   
     
     
         7 . The anti-roll system of  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate charging a battery coupled with the electronic smoking device. 
     
     
         8 . The anti-roll system of  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate communication between the electronic smoking device and one or more of the charging stand and external circuitry. 
     
     
         9 . The anti-roll system of  claim 6 , wherein the anti-roll feature comprises a groove portion configured to hold the electronic smoking device, and wherein the groove portion is located on an exterior surface of the charging stand and the plurality of connectors are located in the groove portion. 
     
     
         10 . The anti-roll system of  claim 9 , wherein the charging stand comprises a circular element with two notches aligned with the groove portion. 
     
     
         11 . The anti-roll system of  claim 6 , wherein the charging stand comprises notches proximal an edge of the charging stand. 
     
     
         12 . The anti-roll system of  claim 11 , wherein the charging stand further comprises a support portion, wherein the plurality of connectors are located on the support portion. 
     
     
         13 . A charging case for an electronic smoking device comprising:
 an anti-roll feature, wherein the anti-roll feature is located on an exterior surface of the charging case and is configured to inhibit the electronic smoking device from rolling away from the charging case;   a plurality of connectors configured to electrically couple the electronic smoking device and the charging case when the electronic smoking device is engaged with the anti-roll feature.   
     
     
         14 . The charging case of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate charging a battery coupled with the electronic smoking device. 
     
     
         15 . The charging case of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of connectors facilitate communication between the electronic smoking device and one or more of the charging case and external circuitry. 
     
     
         16 . The charging case of  claim 13 , wherein the anti-roll feature comprises a groove configured to hold the electronic smoking device and the plurality of connectors are located in the groove. 
     
     
         17 . The charging case of  claim 16 , wherein the groove is located on one of an anterior surface of the charging case, a posterior surface of the charging case, or a lateral surface of the charging case.
