Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for aerosol-generating articles.
  • Containers according to the invention find particular application with aerosol-generating articles comprising a combustible heat source of the type disclosed in WO 2009/022232 .
  • Aerosol-generating articles may include conventional filter cigarettes in which a tobacco rod is combusted to form smoke.
  • Aerosol-generating articles may also include articles in which a tobacco material is heated to form an aerosol, rather than combusted.
  • some aerosol-generating articles have a distal end comprising a combustible heat source.
  • an aerosol may be generated by the transfer of heat from the combustible heat source to a physically separate aerosol forming material, located downstream of the combustible heat source.
  • Aerosol-generating articles are commonly packaged in a container comprising a box and a lid hinged to the box along a hinge line extending across a back wall of the container. Aerosol-generating articles housed in the box are commonly wrapped in an inner liner of metallised paper, metal foil or another sheet of flexible material. Typically, both the container and the inner liner may be formed from blanks. These blanks are typically transported and supplied in a flat state, stacked on top of each other, to packing machines. It would be desirable to adapt containers to specific characteristics of the consumer goods held within the containers. It would also be desirable to improve the ease of use of the consumer goods. This is especially true in view of the development of consumer goods, such as the development of new and innovative aerosol-generating articles, which present new challenges.
  • WO 2009/02232 discloses an aerosol-generating article comprising a combustible heat source, an aerosol-generating substrate downstream of the combustible heat source, and a heat-conducting element.
  • the heat-conducting element is in contact with a rear portion of the combustible heat source and a front portion of the aerosol-generating substrate.
  • the heat-conducting element transfers heat generated during combustion of the heat source to the aerosol-generating substrate via conduction.
  • Volatile compounds released from the aerosol-generating substrate by heat transfer from the combustible heat source are entrained in air drawn through the heated aerosol-generating article. As the released compounds cool, they condense to form an aerosol.
  • WO 2009/016461 discloses a housing comprising a first container body, a second container body and a moveable blade.
  • the housing may be placed into a packet of cigarettes.
  • a user may insert a lit end of a cigarette into the second container body and move the blade with a finger or thumb to cut the cigarette.
  • a container for aerosol-generating articles may comprise a housing having an opening.
  • the container may comprise a lid.
  • the lid may be a hinged lid.

  • the container of the present disclosure may be particularly suitable for use with aerosol-generating articles having a distal end which is configured to be lit in use, such as conventional cigarettes and articles having a distal end comprising a combustible heat source.
  • aerosol-generating articles having a distal end which is configured to be lit in use
  • such articles it may be desirable to sever the distal end of the aerosol-generating article from the remainder of the aerosol-generating article.
  • a user may wish to sever a lit distal end of the cigarette from the remainder of the cigarette, in order to save the remainder of the cigarette for later use.
  • a user may wish to sever the combustible heat source from the remainder of the aerosol-generating article, when the user has finished with the article. This may make it easier for the user to dispose of the aerosol-generating article.
  • the container comprises a first storage compartment for storing unused aerosol-generating articles, and a second storage compartment for storing severed ends of the aerosol-generating articles.
  • the second storage compartment may comprise a second storage compartment opening, which is aligned with an aperture in a wall of the housing of the container. In use, a user may remove an aerosol-generating article from the first storage compartment.
  • the user may insert a distal end of the aerosol-generating article through the second storage compartment opening and the aperture in the wall of the housing of the container, such that a distal end portion of the aerosol-generating article resides in the second storage compartment.
  • the user may then move the lid of the container to the closed position. This action may bring the cutting means into contact with the aerosol-generating article and sever the distal end portion of the aerosol-generating article from the remainder of the aerosol-generating article.
  • the severed, distal end portion of the aerosol-generating article may then drop into a lower portion of the second storage compartment, where it can be safely stored.
  • the remainder of the aerosol-generating article can then be separately discarded or kept for later use, where applicable.
  • the user may repeat this process for any remaining aerosol-generating articles housed in the first storage compartment.

Low-density cross-linked super absorbent polymers also tend to form softer and stickier gels compared to high-density cross-linked super absorbent polymers, which tend to form firmer gels that can maintain their shape even under modest pressure.
  • the super absorbent polymer may be loaded with water.
  • a super absorbent polymer loaded with water may be able to rapidly lower the temperature of a relatively hot item which contacts the polymer.
  • relatively hot refers to a temperature substantially greater than room temperature.
  • the super absorbent polymer may be provided in a substantially dry state.
  • the super absorbent polymer may be subsequently loaded with water, for example by injecting water into the extinguishment substrate comprising the super absorbent polymer.
  • this may reduce a risk of leakage until the user loads the polymer with water.
  • the container may be provided with information which directs the user to introduce a suitable amount of water into the super absorbent polymer.
  • This suitable amount of water may be based on which super absorbent polymer, or polymers, are present, and the amount of the super absorbent polymer, or polymers, present.

  • the lid may pivot about a hinge line on a side wall of the housing of the container.
  • At least part of the cutting means may be located on, or attached to, an underside of the lid. That is, at least part of the cutting means may be located on, or attached to, an inner surface of the lid top wall.
  • this may mean that the cutting means is hidden when the lid is in the closed position.
  • the cutting means may be substantially planar.
  • the lid first side wall and the cutting means may both be substantially planar and occupy substantially parallel planes.
  • the cutting means may be spaced from the lid first side wall of the lid.
  • the cutting means may be spaced from the lid first side wall of the lid by at least about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, or 5 millimetres.
  • At least part of the cutting means may be located between the lid first side wall and the lid second side wall.
  • the cutting means, the lid first side wall and the lid second side wall may all be substantially planar and occupy substantially parallel planes.
  • a user may not be able to touch the cutting means when the hinged lid is in the closed position.
  • the cutting means may be hidden, or surrounded by other components of the container, when the hinged lid is in the closed position.
  • this may reduce a risk of a user cutting themselves.
  • the cutting means may be configured to cut an aerosol-generating article as a result of movement of the lid from the open position to the closed position.
  • this may allow the user to cut the aerosol-generating article using a familiar action of moving the lid of the container from the open position to the closed position.
  • the cutting means When the lid is in the closed position, the cutting means, or at least part of the cutting means, may be located between the second storage compartment and the housing of the container.
  • this may reduce a risk of a user cutting themselves since, when the lid is in the closed position, at least part of the cutting means is covered by the housing of the container.
  • the cutting means When the lid is in the closed position, the cutting means may occlude the second storage compartment opening.
  • the cutting means When the lid is in the closed position, the cutting means may occlude the second storage compartment opening and substantially hermetically seal the second storage compartment. That is, when the lid is in the closed position, no air, or only a small or negligible amount of air, may be able to enter the second storage compartment from outside the second storage compartment.
  • this may allow a user to extinguish a lit end, or lit combustible heat source, in the second storage compartment by moving the lid to the closed position.
  • the cutting means may comprise one or more of a metal, a plastic, and a cardboard material.
  • the cutting means may comprise a blade.
  • the cutting means may comprise a cutting portion and a support portion.
  • the cutting portion may comprise a sharp edge, or a blade.

  • the protrusion may protrude in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the support portion.
  • a user may insert a lit end, or lit combustible heat source, of an aerosol-generating article through the housing aperture (if present) and the second storage compartment opening.
  • a portion of the aerosol-generating article comprising the lit end, or combustible heat source is located within the second storage compartment.
  • the cutting means may then cut the aerosol-generating article.
  • cutting means may cut the aerosol-generating article as a result of movement of the lid from the open position to the closed position. This may cut the aerosol-generating article into a severed, distal portion and a proximal portion.
  • the distal portion of the aerosol-generating article may comprise the lit end or the end comprising the combustible heat source.
  • the distal portion of the aerosol-generating article may then fall in the second storage compartment.
  • the distal portion, which comprises the lit end, or lit combustible heat source may be extinguished within the second storage compartment.
  • the protrusion of the support portion may apply a force to the aerosol-generating article.
  • the force may be applied during, or after, or both during and after, the cutting means cuts the aerosol-generating article into a distal portion and a proximal portion.
  • the force may act to force the distal portion of the article further from the second storage compartment opening .
  • the force may act to force the distal portion further into the second storage compartment.
  • the second storage compartment may store the distal portion of the article. It may be preferable to limit how far an article may be inserted into the second storage compartment through the second storage compartment opening. That is, it may be preferable to limit a length of article insertable into the second storage compartment through the second storage compartment opening. In this way, it may be possible to limit a length of the severed, distal portion of the article.
  • the second storage compartment may comprise a stopping surface configured to abut an end of an aerosol-generating article inserted through the second storage compartment opening at a point disposed between the plane of the second storage compartment first side wall and the plane of the second storage compartment second side wall. This can help to restrict the length of a distal portion of the aerosol-generating article which is severed by the cutting means to being less than the distance between the plane of the second storage compartment first side wall and the plane of the second storage compartment second side wall.
  • the stopping surface prevents the end the aerosol-generating article from moving beyond a point disposed between the plane of the second storage compartment first side wall and the plane of the second storage compartment second side wall, the distal portion of the article which is severed by the cutting means can be short enough to fit within the second storage compartment, and in particular, a lower portion of the second storage compartment. This may help to ensure that the second storage compartment can be efficiently filled. This may also help to prevent severed portions of aerosol-generating articles from becoming wedged in the second storage compartment.
  • the stopping surface may be positioned at a height in the container.
  • the height of the stopping surface may be the same as or similar to the height at which the second storage compartment opening is positioned. That is, the stopping surface may be positioned at a height in the container, which is within about 20 percent of the height at which the second storage compartment opening is positioned. For example, if the second storage compartment opening is positioned at a height of 100 millimetres, the stopping surface may be positioned at a height of between about 80 millimetres and about 120 millimetres. More preferably, the stopping surface is positioned at a height in the container, which is within about 10 percent or about 5 percent of the height at which the second storage compartment opening is positioned.
  • the stopping surface may be an inclined surface angled relative to the plane of the second storage compartment first side wall and the plane of the second storage compartment second side wall.
  • the inclination may be such that, when an end of an aerosol-generating article inserted through the secondary storage compartment opening abuts the stopping surface, the stopping surface urges the inserted aerosol-generating article substantially in a direction of travel of the cutting means when the cutting means cuts the aerosol-generating article.
  • the inclination may be such that, when an end of an aerosol-generating article inserted through the second storage compartment opening abuts the stopping surface, the stopping surface urges the inserted aerosol-generating article towards the bottom of the container.
  • an angled stopping surface as described above may provide an effective way to ensure that the severed, distal portion of the article can be short enough to easily fall into the second storage compartment after being cut by the cutting means. Further, an angled stopping surface may be relatively straightforward to implement in an inexpensive manner.
  • the stopping surface may be a surface of a component which resides in the interior volume of the second storage compartment.
  • the stopping surface may be a surface of a component, such as a panel, which extends down from the second storage compartment top wall and into the interior volume of the second storage compartment.
