AEROSOL DELIVERY DEVICE WITH CONDUCTIVE INSERTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017027 titled 'AEROSOL DELIVERY DEVICE WITH CONDUCTIVE INSERTS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. In one example implementation, the device includes an aerosol source member with an outer surface and an interior area, containing a substrate material with an aerosol precursor composition. The device also includes a control body with a housing to hold the aerosol source member, an electrical energy source connected to the housing, and a heating assembly connected to the electrical energy source. The heating assembly has multiple spikes that can move between a retracted position (not in contact with the aerosol source member) and a heating position (piercing through the outer surface of the substrate material into the interior area).

• The device is designed to deliver aerosol through controlled heating of the aerosol precursor composition.
• The aerosol source member contains a substrate material that holds the aerosol precursor composition.
• The control body houses the aerosol source member and provides the necessary electrical energy for heating.
• The heating assembly includes spikes that can articulate between retracted and heating positions.
• The spikes pierce through the outer surface of the substrate material to heat the aerosol precursor composition.

Potential Applications:

• Medical inhalation devices for delivering aerosol medications.
• Personal vaporizers for recreational use.
• Air fresheners or fragrance dispensers.
• Industrial applications for controlled aerosol delivery.

Problems Solved:

• Provides a controlled and efficient method for delivering aerosol.
• Ensures proper heating of the aerosol precursor composition.
• Allows for precise control of aerosol release.

Benefits:

• Improved delivery of aerosol medications for medical purposes.
• Enhanced user experience in personal vaporizers.
• Efficient and effective dispersion of fragrances or air fresheners.
• Increased control and accuracy in industrial applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure provides aerosol delivery devices. in an example implementation, an aerosol delivery device comprises an aerosol source member that defines an outer surface and an interior area and includes a substrate material having an aerosol precursor composition associated therewith, a control body having a housing that is configured to receive the aerosol source member, an electrical energy source coupled with the housing, and a heating assembly operatively connected to the electrical energy source. the heating assembly includes a plurality of spikes that may be configured to articulate between a retracted position, in which the plurality of spikes is not in contact with the aerosol source member, and a heating position, in which the plurality of spikes pierces through the outer surface of the substrate material and into a portion of the interior area thereof.
