AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system effectively generates and delivers a flavorful aerosol that mimics the experience of traditional smoking products, providing a comfortable inhalation experience by using electrical power to heat aerosol precursors and aerosol-generating elements, resulting in a product that is both flavorful and smoke-like.

Problems solved by technology

Many of those devices purportedly have been designed to provide the sensations associated with cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking, but without delivering considerable quantities of incomplete combustion and pyrolysis products that result from the burning of tobacco.

Embodiment Construction

[0057]The present disclosure will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof. These exemplary embodiments are described so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Indeed, the disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. As used in the specification, and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, “the”, include plural variations unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0058]As described hereinafter, aspects of the present disclosure relate to aerosol delivery systems. Aerosol delivery systems according to the present disclosure use electrical energy to heat a material (preferably without combusting the material to any significant degree) to form an...

Abstract

An aerosol delivery system is provided, comprising a control body portion including a first elongate tubular member having a power source disposed therein. A cartridge body portion includes a second tubular member having opposed first and second ends. One of the first and second ends is removably engaged with one end of the control body portion. The cartridge body portion further comprises a first aerosol generation arrangement disposed within the second tubular member and configured to operably engage the power source upon engagement between the control body portion and the cartridge body portion. A second aerosol generation arrangement is disposed between the first aerosol generation arrangement and a mouth-engaging end of the aerosol delivery system, the second aerosol generation arrangement being either removably engaged with the cartridge body portion or housed within the second tubular member of the cartridge body portion. An associated method is also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of PCT / US2015 / 031563, filed May 19, 2015, and a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 14 / 282,768, filed May 20, 2014, which applications are hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference in this application.BACKGROUND[0002]Field of the Disclosure[0003]The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices and systems, such as smoking articles; and more particularly, to aerosol delivery devices and systems that utilize electrically-generated heat for the production of aerosol (e.g., smoking articles commonly referred to as electronic cigarettes). The aerosol delivery devices and systems may be configured to heat an aerosol precursor, which incorporates materials that may be, though not necessarily, made or derived from tobacco or otherwise incorporate tobacco, and which are capable of vaporizing to form an inhalable aerosol for human consumption.[0004]Description of Related Art[0005]M...
