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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049774 titled 'HOLLOW TUBULAR ELEMENT FOR AN AEROSOL-GENERATING ARTICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a hollow tubular element for an aerosol-generating article. The element has a curved outer surface and a hollow inner region. It is made from a sheet that is folded to form a peripheral portion and an internal projection extending into the hollow inner region.

  • The hollow tubular element is designed for use in an aerosol-generating article.
  • It has a curved outer surface and a hollow inner region.
  • The element is made from a sheet that is folded to form a peripheral portion and an internal projection.
  • The peripheral portion forms part of the curved outer surface.
  • The internal projection extends into the hollow inner region from a fold line.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in the manufacturing of aerosol-generating articles such as inhalers, spray bottles, or atomizers.
  • It can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry for the delivery of medications through inhalers or nasal sprays.
  • It can also be used in the cosmetic industry for the dispensing of perfumes, hair sprays, or other aerosol-based products.

Problems Solved:

  • The hollow tubular element provides a structure for containing and delivering aerosol substances.
  • The curved outer surface allows for comfortable handling and use of the aerosol-generating article.
  • The internal projection helps to control the flow and direction of the aerosol substance.

Benefits:

  • The curved outer surface provides ergonomic benefits, making it easier to hold and use the aerosol-generating article.
  • The internal projection helps to optimize the delivery of the aerosol substance, ensuring efficient and controlled dispersion.
  • The use of a folded sheet in the manufacturing process allows for cost-effective production of the hollow tubular element.


Original Abstract Submitted

a hollow tubular element () for an aerosol-generating article (), the hollow tubular element () comprising: a peripheral portion () providing a curved outer surface of the hollow tubular element (), and defining a hollow inner region () of the hollow tubular element (); and an internal projection () extending into the hollow inner region (). the hollow tubular element () is formed from a sheet, the sheet comprising: a first part and a second part adjacent to the first part with a first fold line () therebetween. the first part of the sheet forms at least part of the peripheral portion () of the hollow tubular element (). the entirety of the first part of the sheet forms at least part of the curved outer surface of the hollow tubular element (). the second part of the sheet defines the internal projection () of the hollow tubular element (), the internal projection () extending into the hollow inner region () of the hollow tubular element () from the first fold line ().
