AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE WITH HOLLOW TUBULAR ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041101 titled 'AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE WITH HOLLOW TUBULAR ELEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an aerosol-generating article that consists of a first element and a hollow tubular element. The hollow tubular element has a peripheral portion that defines a hollow inner region and a support element made from a sheet, extending from one point at the peripheral portion across the hollow inner region to another point at the peripheral portion. The average weight of the hollow tubular element is about 10 milligrams per millimeter length or less.

  • The aerosol-generating article consists of a first element and a hollow tubular element.
  • The hollow tubular element has a peripheral portion that defines a hollow inner region.
  • A support element made from a sheet extends across the hollow inner region of the tubular element.
  • The average weight of the hollow tubular element is about 10 milligrams per millimeter length or less.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Inhalers or nebulizers for delivering medication in aerosol form.
  • Air fresheners or deodorizers that release fragrance or neutralizing agents.
  • Smoke generators for special effects in theater or film productions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a lightweight and efficient aerosol-generating article.
  • Allows for controlled release of substances in aerosol form.
  • Enhances the portability and ease of use of aerosol-generating devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved delivery of medication through inhalers or nebulizers.
  • Enhanced dispersal of fragrances or neutralizing agents in air fresheners.
  • Realistic smoke effects in theater or film productions.
  • Reduced weight and improved efficiency in aerosol-generating devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

an aerosol-generating article () comprising: a first element () comprising an aerosol-forming substrate (); and a hollow tubular element () disposed downstream of the first element (). the hollow tubular element () comprises: a peripheral portion () defining a hollow inner region () of the hollow tubular element (); and a support element () formed from a sheet and extending from a first point () at the peripheral portion () across the hollow inner region () to a second point () at the peripheral portion (). the hollow tubular element () has an average weight of about 10 milligrams per millimetre length or less.
