Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a system for delivering aerosol, specifically through the use of electronic cigarettes. The system includes a control body and a cartridge body, with the cartridge body containing the aerosol generation components. The system also includes one or more aerosol generation elements, which may be selected from a variety of options such as granules, pellets, beads, carbon pieces, and more. The system can be used to provide a safer alternative to smoking tobacco.

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

[0018]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.

[0019]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. The other of the first and second ends of the cartridge body portion is configured as a mouth-engaging end. The cartridge body portion further includes a second aerosol generation arrangement disposed within the second tubular member between the first aerosol generation arrangement and the mouth-engaging end. An associated method is also provided.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]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.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Many smoking devices have been proposed through the years as improvements upon, or alternatives to, smoking products that require combusting tobacco for use. Many of those devices purportedly have been designed to provide the sensations associated with cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoking, but without...
