Consumable Article with Open Receptacle for an Aerosol Generation Device

Abstract

A consumable article equips an aerosol generation device and includes a receptacle containing an aerosol-forming substance arranged for generating an aerosol when it is heated and mixed with air, and a first tubular member having a peripheral wall including a first end connected to an open end of this receptacle, at least one air inlet allowing entry of air into the first tubular member for feeding the receptacle open end, and a second end opposed to this first end and including an outlet for discharging the generated aerosol.

1 . A consumable article for an aerosol generation device, said consumable article comprising a receptacle containing an aerosol-forming substance arranged for generating an aerosol when heated and mixed with air, wherein the consumable article further comprises a first tubular member having a peripheral wall comprising i) a first end connected to an open end of said receptacle, ii) at least one air inlet allowing entry of air into said first tubular member for feeding said receptacle open end, and iii) a second end opposed to said first end and comprising an outlet for discharging generated aerosol. 
     
     
         2 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said receptacle comprises an inductively heatable material intended for being inductively heated by an induction heating device of said aerosol generation device. 
     
     
         3 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said receptacle comprises a heat conductive material intended for being heated by a heating device of said aerosol generation device. 
     
     
         4 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second tubular member attached inside said first tubular member between said second end and each of the at least one air inlets, and comprising an outer surface defining with an inner surface of said peripheral wall of said first tubular member a first channel through which said-air coming from each of the at least one air inlets can flow towards said receptacle through its the open end. 
     
     
         5 . The consumable article according to  claim 4 , wherein said second tubular member comprises an inner surface defining a second channel through which aerosol generated in said receptacle can flow towards said second end of said first tubular member. 
     
     
         6 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said aerosol-forming substance is a paste adhering to an inner surface of said receptacle and delineating a concave cavity opening towards said first tubular member. 
     
     
         7 . The consumable article according to the combination of  claim 5 , wherein said aerosol-forming substance is a paste adhering to an inner surface of said receptacle and delineating a concave cavity opening towards said first tubular member, and wherein said concave cavity receives a first end of said second tubular member which comprises an inlet of said second channel. 
     
     
         8 . The consumable article according to  claim 4 , wherein said second tubular member comprises an annular part defining partly said first channel and connected fixedly to an inner surface of said first tubular member to prevent air coming from each of the at least one air inlets to from reaching directly said second end of said first tubular member before accessing said receptacle. 
     
     
         9 . The consumable article according to  claim 4 , wherein said second tubular member is made of molded paper. 
     
     
         10 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said first tubular member is made of molded paper. 
     
     
         11 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said second end of said first tubular member forms a mouthpiece through which a user sucks said-generated aerosol during a vaping session. 
     
     
         12 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said aerosol-forming substance comprises a tobacco material. 
     
     
         13 . The consumable article according to  claim 1 , wherein said aerosol-forming substance comprises at least one polyol. 
     
     
         14 . An aerosol generation device comprising an electrical and control device, and the consumable article according to  claim 1 , coupled to said electrical and control device. 
     
     
         15 . The aerosol generation device according to claim  16 , wherein said power source is a rechargeable battery. 
     
     
         16 . The aerosol generation device according to  claim 14 , wherein said electrical and control device comprises a power source storing electrical energy.
