Definitions

  • the present specification relates to an aerosol-generating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate, the aerosol-generating device comprising a helix-shaped heater.
  • Aerosol-generating articles in which an aerosol-forming substrate, such as a tobacco containing substrate, is heated rather than combusted are known in the art.
  • the aim of such heated aerosol-generating articles is to reduce known harmful smoke constituents produced by the combustion and pyrolytic degradation of tobacco in conventional cigarettes.
  • an aerosol is generated by the transfer of heat from a heat source to a physically separate aerosol- forming substrate.
  • volatile compounds are released from the aerosol-forming substrate by heat transfer from the heat source and these compounds are entrained in air drawn through the aerosol-generating article. As the released compounds cool, they condense to form an aerosol that is inhaled by a consumer.
  • a number of prior art documents disclose aerosol-generating devices for consuming or smoking heated aerosol-generating articles. Such devices include, for example, heated aerosol-generating devices and electrically heated aerosol-generating devices.
  • heated aerosol-generating devices include, for example, heated aerosol-generating devices and electrically heated aerosol-generating devices.
  • One advantage of such devices is that they significantly reduce sidestream smoke, while permitting the consumer to selectively suspend and reinitiate smoking.
  • Direct contact between a heating element and an aerosol-forming substrate may provide an efficient means for heating the aerosol-forming substrate to form an inhalable aerosol.
  • heat from a heater may be conveyed almost instantaneously to at least a portion of the aerosol-forming substrate when the heater is operated or actuated, and this may facilitate the rapid generation of an aerosol.
  • WO 2013/131763 discloses an apparatus configured to heat smokable material to volatilise at least one component of the smokable material.
  • the apparatus includes an energy source, a heater and a heating chamber configured to receive smokable material.
  • the apparatus comprises a spirally-shaped heat conducting element configured to screw into the smokable material.
  • the present specification provides an aerosol-generating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate, a method of using an aerosol-generating device, and an aerosol-generating system comprising an aerosol-generating device and an aerosol- generating article.
  • the present specification may provide an aerosol-generating device for heating an aerosol-forming substrate comprising a heater for heating the aerosol-forming substrate.
  • the heater has a substantially longitudinal axis extending between a first end for penetrating the aerosol-forming substrate and a second end coupled to the aerosol- generating device.
  • the heater is coupled to the aerosol-generating device at a freely- rotating joint such that the heater can freely rotate about its longitudinal axis. At least a portion of the heater is helical or helix-shaped. At least a portion of the heater that is insertable into the aerosol-forming substrate is helical or helix-shaped.
  • helix-shaped means at least a portion of the heater is helical. Other terms such as helicoidal and corkscrew-shaped are considered to fall within the term helix-shaped. Thus, a portion of the heater may be in the form of a wire that is twisted or formed into a helix, or a surface that is twisted or formed into a helicoid or thread.
  • Substantially the entire heater between its first end and its second end may be helix-shaped. Alternatively, only a portion of the length of the heater extending between its first end and its second end may be helix-shaped.
  • the heater is shaped such that it can screw into an aerosol-forming substrate.
  • the heater can be inserted into an aerosol-forming substrate by moving it in a substantially linear motion along the longitudinal access of the heater relative to the aerosol-forming substrate.
  • the shape of the heater is such that engagement between the heater and the aerosol-forming substrate causes the heater to rotate about its longitudinal access as the heater is inserted into the aerosol-forming substrate.
  • relative linear movement between the aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-forming substrate allows the heater of the aerosol-generating device to screw into the aerosol- forming substrate. This can occur due to frictional engagement between the heater and the aerosol-forming substrate, and due to the freely-rotating joint that allows the heater to freely rotate around its longitudinal access.
  • an 'aerosol-generating device' relates to a device that interacts with an aerosol-forming substrate to generate an aerosol.
  • the aerosol-forming substrate may be part of an aerosol-generating article, for example part of a aerosol-generating article.
