Electronic Cigarette Cartridge Holder

Abstract

An electronic cigarette cartridge holder utilized in combination with an electronic cigarette cartridge from an electronic cigarette to hold the electronic cigarette cartridge while in use. The electronic cigarette cartridge holder includes a housing, a plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of prongs. The protrusions deform a silicon cover disposed on a connector of the electronic cigarette cartridge to break the silicon cover and allow exterior air to enter into a cartridge body to volatilize an e-liquid and act as a fulcrum against which the cartridge body to pivot to engage the silicon cover to break.

1 . An electronic cigarette cartridge holder, comprising:
 a planar housing having an arcuate shape, an opening, a first end, and a second end;   a plurality of protrusions disposed on an internal surface of the planar housing; and   a plurality of prongs disposed on the planar housing;   wherein the planar housing partially surrounds and receives a cartridge body of the electronic cigarette cartridge in opening the planar housing to contain the electronic cigarette cartridge while using the electronic cigarette cartridge;   wherein the prongs are disposed on the planar housing proximal to the second end of the planar housing to secure the electronic cigarette cartridge within the planar housing of the electronic cigarette cartridge holder;   wherein the protrusions are disposed on an internal surface of the planar housing proximal to the first end of the planar housing;   wherein the protrusions are semispherical in shape;   wherein the first end of the housing includes a wall that entirely covers the first end of the housing; and   wherein the second end of the housing is open ended.   
     
     
         2 .- 4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . An electronic cigarette cartridge holder, comprising:
 a planar housing having an arcuate shape, an opening, a first end, and a second end, the planar housing is adapted to partially surround and receive a cartridge body of the electronic cigarette cartridge in the opening of the planar housing to contain the electronic cigarette cartridge while using the electronic cigarette cartridge;   a plurality of protrusions disposed on the internal surface of the planar housing proximal to the first end of the planar housing; and   a plurality of prongs disposed on the planar housing proximal to the second end of the planar housing to secure the electronic cigarette cartridge within the planar housing of the electronic cigarette cartridge holder;   wherein the protrusions deform a silicon cover disposed on a connector of the electronic cigarette cartridge to break the silicon cover and allow exterior air to enter into a cartridge body to volatilize an e-liquid;   wherein the protrusions are semispherical in shape;   wherein the first end of the housing includes a wall that entirely covers the first end of the housing; and   wherein the second end of the housing is open ended.   
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The electronic cigarette cartridge holder, according to  claim 5 , wherein the electronic cigarette cartridge holder is made of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber, or silicon. 
     
     
         8 . An electronic cigarette cartridge holder, consisting of:
 an arcuate shape planar housing having an opening, a first end, and a second end, the housing is adapted to partially surround and receive a cartridge body of the electronic cigarette cartridge in the opening of the planar housing to contain the electronic cigarette cartridge while using the electronic cigarette cartridge;   a plurality of protrusions disposed on the internal surface of the planar housing proximal to the first end of the planar housing;   a pair of prongs disposed on the planar housing proximal to the second end of the planar housing to secure the electronic cigarette cartridge within the planar housing of the electronic cigarette cartridge holder;   wherein the protrusions deform a silicon cover disposed on a connector of the electronic cigarette cartridge to break the silicon cover and allow exterior air to enter into a cartridge body to volatilize an e-liquid;   wherein the protrusions act as a fulcrum against which the cartridge body pivots to engage the silicon cover to break;   wherein the protrusions are semispherical in shape;   wherein the first end of the housing includes a wall that entirely covers the first end of the housing; and   wherein the second end of the housing is open ended.   
     
     
         9 .- 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . The electronic cigarette cartridge holder, according to  claim 8 , wherein the electronic cigarette cartridge holder is made of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber, or silicon.
