Definitions

  • the present invention is generally in the field of drug delivery. More particularly, the present application provides means for delivery of inhalable drugs.
  • the present invention relates to devices designed to deliver inhalable drugs to a user, particularly combustible drugs.
  • Delivery devices for combustible drugs such as smoking devices, are usually designed such that the generated smoke and/or vapors are inhaled directly from a combustion site of the device into a mouthpiece of the device.
  • Such drug delivery devices don't provide proper separation between the combustible drug material and the mouthpiece, which causes undesired effects, such as migration of combustible drug material, ash, and/or other particles, into the mouthpiece, and even the inhaling of the same therethrough by the user.
  • Another problem of the smoking devices at present is that of enhanced burning effect caused by the user inhaling through the mouthpiece and drawing oxygen-rich air into the combustion site, which thereby accelerates the burning of the drug material disposed thereinside.
  • This user-enhanced burning effect of the drug material is regarded as a prohibited activity for which the use of such delivery devices is not allowed in certain religious holidays, such as the 'Shabbat' and 'Yom Tov'.
  • US Patent No. 5,649,554 describes a lighter having a tobacco flavor heating system which includes a rotatable tobacco containing disc or spiral. This disc or spiral is registered in thermal proximity to a heating element and heated to generate tobacco flavors in response to a sensor. The disc and spiral are sized to provide a convenient number of puffs before disposal. Housings are provided for the disc and spiral to store, register and dispose the tobacco product efficiently.
  • US Patent No. 5,060,671 describes an article in which a flavor generating medium is electrically heated by heaters to evolve inhalable flavors such as tobacco or other components in vapor or aerosol form.
  • the article has a plurality of charges of the flavor generating medium which are heated sequentially to provide individual puffs.
  • the charges are located in a portion of the article detachable from a second section in which is located a power source.
  • the heaters are connected to the power source by fingers on the first section which are received in recesses on the second section.
  • a mouthpiece may be provided on the first section through which vapor may be inhaled.
  • US Patent No. 5,388,594 describes a smoking system in which a replaceable cigarette containing tobacco flavor material is electrically heated by a set of electrical heater elements contained within a lighter to evolve tobacco flavors or other components in vapor or aerosol form for delivery to a smoker.
  • the cigarette and lighter are adapted to provide air flow patterns through the smoking system such that air flows transversely into the cigarette. Such patterns improve aerosol and flavor delivery to the smoker and reduce the condensation of residual heater-region vapor/aerosol in the smoking system.

  • the drug delivery device is configured to determined the time period required for the activation of the heating unit and producing the inhalable substances from the at least one batch of drug material according to the drug material contained inside the magazine.
  • a readable identifier is incorporated in some embodiments in the magazine for allowing the drug delivery device to identify the drug material contained inside it, and/or for determining if the drug material contained inside the magazine is allowable for use by the user of the drug delivery device.
  • the device is configured to gradually introduce the drug material into the combustion zone to prevent it from burning too quickly at once.
  • the delivery device actuates the magazine to advance the drug material into the combustion zone in predetermined steps size, such that in each batch movement step a predetermined portion of the batch is exposed to the heat produced by the heating unit.
