Claim Text:
1. An electronic cigarette case, comprising: a case body for storing a plurality of electronic cigarettes; a charging device disposed in the case body for charging the plurality of electronic cigarettes; wherein the charging device comprises a charging base, a rechargeable battery, and a control circuit board integrated with a circuit processing unit; the charging base comprising an electrode support where a first electrode element, a second electrode element, and a trigger element spaced apart from the second electrode element at a predetermined distance are all disposed on the electrode support; two opposite ends of the first electrode element respectively electrically connected with a first electrode of one of the electronic cigarettes and a first electrode of the rechargeable battery; two opposite ends of the second electrode element respectively electrically connected with a second electrode of the one of the electronic cigarettes and a second electrode of the rechargeable battery; and the second electrode element being flexibly deformable when one of the electronic cigarettes is inserted into the case body to depress the second electrode element so as to enable the second electrode element to abut against the trigger element and create a charging circuit, wherein the circuit processing unit automatically controls the rechargeable battery for charging the electronic cigarette being inserted until it is full of power; the electrode support is made of an insulating material, and the first and second electrode elements each is made of a conductive metal material and bends to form a sheet-shape so as to be deformable; the trigger element and the first and second electrode elements are disposed in direct contact with corresponding land portions of the control circuit board, and are electrically connected with the rechargeable battery through the control circuit board; the electrode support comprises an upper wall, a lower wall, a left wall, a right wall, and a rear wall cooperatively forming a rectangle case shape, the trigger element is mounted to the left wall with one end of the trigger element attached to the upper wall and the other end thereof extending out of the electrode support to contact the control circuit board, the second electrode element is mounted to the right wall with one end of the second electrode element disposed above the upper wall and spaced apart at the predetermined distance from the end of the trigger element attached to the upper wall, the other end of the second electrode element extending out of the electrode support to contact the control circuit board, and the first electrode element is mounted to the rear wall with one end of the first electrode element extending out of both the upper wall of the electrode support and the second electrode element, the other end of the first electrode element extending out of the electrode support to contact the control circuit board.
