Mouthpiece

Abstract

A non-combustion smoking tool, which uses a real filter cigarette as it is, and which vaporizes nicotine from the tobacco leaves without lighting the product to enable inhalation of the vaporized nicotine, has a problem that a smoker cannot take in 100% of the vaporized nicotine. Thus, a mouthpiece is designed to have an air flow control structure or an air flow control element, or to be combined with a cigarette guide tube, so as to enable the mouthpiece to vary the rate at which the nicotine vaporized from the tobacco leaves is taken in.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a mouthpiece provided for non-combustion smoking tools and used in combination with a non-combustion smoking tool of Japanese Patent Application 2009-049879 or Japanese Patent Application 2009-293338 made by the present applicant (each hereinafter referred to as “tool—of the earlier application of the present application”), a non-combustion cigarette system disclosed in Japanese Translation of PCT Application 2009-509521 or a pipe-type non-combustion smoking tool.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The “tool of the earlier application of the present application” and the non-combustion smoking tools disclosed in Patent Document 3and Patent Document 4 have been proposed to improve various problems of a normal smoking method to light tobacco leaves for smoking, and are tools which, while using a generally commercially available cigarette or cigar as it is, can vaporize nicotine from the tobacco leaves at a suitable temperature to enable inhalation ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new mouthpiece for a non-combustion smoking tool that helps to control the flow of air when a smoker inhales through the mouthpiece. This new mouthpiece has a unique structure that prevents the filter from absorbing too much of the nicotine vapor, allowing the smoker to inhale most of the nicotine in a more desirable concentration. The mouthpiece can also be combined with a cigarette guide tube for easy use with the non-combustion smoking tool. Additionally, the mouthpiece is designed to be easily removed from the non-combustion smoking tool with the inserted filter cigarette. Overall, this new mouthpiece provides a better user experience for smoking non-combustion cigarettes.

Problems solved by technology

When the tool of the earlier application of the present application and the non-combustion smoking tool proposed in Patent Document 3 were actually used by inserting a filter cigarette therein, the following problems were found.

However, when inhaled through the filter similarly as when normally smoking by lighting them, most of the nicotine vaporized out of the tobacco leaves by heating the tobacco leaves is absorbed by the filter, so that a smoker can inhale only a small amount of nicotine vaporized out of the tobacco leaves.

However, when heated at such a high temperature, the tobacco leaves get burned to add burning smell, thereby not only harming the flavor, but also ending the vaporization of nicotine from the tobacco leaves in a short time.
