Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to aerosol generating articles, and more particularly to an aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device for heating the aerosol generating article to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to a method of manufacturing an aerosol generating article.
- the present disclosure is particularly applicable to aerosol generating articles for use with a portable (hand-held) aerosol generating device.
- reduced-risk or modified-risk devices also known as aerosol generating devices or vapour generating devices
- vapour generating devices Various devices and systems are available that heat or warm aerosol generating substances to generate an aerosol for inhalation by a user.
- a commonly available reduced-risk or modified-risk device is the heated substrate aerosol generating device, or so-called heat-not-bum device.
- Devices of this type generate an aerosol or vapour by heating an aerosol generating substrate to a temperature typically in the range 150°C to 300°C. Heating the aerosol generating substrate to a temperature within this range, without burning or combusting the aerosol generating substrate, generates a vapour which typically cools and condenses to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user of the device.
- an aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device, the aerosol generating article comprising: a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate; a wrapping member surrounding the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate to form a substantially planar aerosol generating article; wherein the wrapping member comprises a window aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate.
- a method of manufacturing an aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device comprising: providing a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate; providing a wrapping member comprising a window; wrapping the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate with the wrapping member to form a substantially planar aerosol generating article and aligning the window in the wrapping member with part of the aerosol generating substrate.
- the wrapping and alignment steps may be carried out in any order.
- the method may comprise firstly aligning the window in the wrapping member with part of the aerosol generating substrate and secondly wrapping the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate with the wrapping member to form the substantially planar aerosol generating article, or vice versa.
- the aerosol generating article is for use with an aerosol generating device for heating the aerosol generating substrate, without burning the aerosol generating substrate, to volatise at least one component of the aerosol generating substrate and thereby generate a heated vapour which cools and condenses to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user of the aerosol generating device.
- the aerosol generating device is a hand-held, portable, device.
- vapour is a substance in the gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical temperature, which means that the vapour can be condensed to a liquid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature
- aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets, in air or another gas.
- the window may allow the aerosol generating substrate to directly contact a heater of the aerosol generating device. This may help to ensure that vapour can be more readily generated and to improve the energy efficiency of the aerosol generating device.
- the wrapping member may comprise a sheet material and the window may comprise a die-cut portion formed in the sheet material. The window can be readily formed in the sheet material, for example by a die-cutting operation, and can be readily aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate during manufacture of the aerosol generating article.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise a main surface.
- the window may be positioned adjacent to the main surface to overlie (i.e., lie flat against) a portion of the main surface, and may have an area which is smaller than an area of the main surface. This ensures that the aerosol generating substrate cannot pass through the window and that it remains securely in position inside the wrapping member.
- the wrapping member may extend beyond an end of the aerosol generating substrate to form a mouth-end portion of the article.
- the extended region of the wrapping member may allow heated vapour generated during use of the aerosol generating article to cool and condense to form an aerosol with optimal characteristics for inhalation by a user.
- the wrapping member may comprise a removable portion which may cover the window.
- the wrapping member may comprise one or more lines of weakness defining a periphery of the removable portion.
- the removable portion may be removable by a user prior to use of the aerosol generating article in an aerosol generating device.
- the removable portion helps to protect the aerosol generating substrate prior to use of the aerosol generating article and may help to retain the aerosol generating substrate securely in position inside the wrapping member.
- the removable portion can be easily removed by a user prior to use of the aerosol generating article, for example ensuring that direct contact between the aerosol generating substrate and a heater of an aerosol generating device can be achieved.
- the one or more lines of weakness may comprise one or more perforations.
- the removable portion can, thus, be easily removed, for example by tearing, and discarded.
- the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate may have a flat rectangular shape which may have a pair of main surfaces.
- the wrapping member may comprise a pair of rectangular sheets which may be attached, respectively, to the pair of main surfaces.
- the aerosol generating article may have a pleasing aesthetic appearance due to the flat rectangular shape of the aerosol generating substrate. A substantial part of the aerosol generating substrate may be readily covered by the wrapping member, thereby ensuring that a user does not directly touch the aerosol generating substrate during handling of the aerosol generating article.
- the flat rectangular shape may also facilitate packaging and storage of multiple aerosol generating articles.
- the aerosol generating article may comprise a support member which may form a mouth-end portion of the article.
- the support member may have a tubular form, e.g., a rectangular tubular form, to receive a downstream end of the aerosol generating substrate.
- the support member may be self-supporting and may, for example, comprise cardboard or a plastics material.
- the support member may advantageously deliver vapour and/or aerosol generated during use of the article directly to a user’s mouth.
- the support member may allow heated vapour generated during use of the aerosol generating article to cool and condense to form an aerosol with optimal characteristics for inhalation by a user.
- the wrapping member may comprise a material which is substantially non-electrically conductive and non-magnetically permeable and may, for example, comprise a paper wrapper.
- a paper wrapper may facilitate manufacture and handing of the aerosol generating article and may enhance aerosol generation.
- the wrapping member may have a porous inner surface which may face towards the aerosol generating substrate for absorbing condensation.
- the porous inner surface may help to ensure that the formation of condensed matter on the internal surfaces of the aerosol generating device is substantially eliminated, or at least minimised.
- the wrapping member may have an anti-stick outer surface which may face away from the aerosol generating substrate.
- the wrapping member may comprise an anti stick coating on the outer surface.
- the anti-stick outer surface may help to ensure that the wrapping member does not stick to surfaces of the aerosol generating device when it has been heated.
- the porous inner surface and the anti-stick outer surface may help to reduce residue build-up within the aerosol generating device, thus reducing the number of cleaning and maintenance operations that a user of the device may have to perform.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise a non-liquid aerosol generating material, for example any type of solid or semi-solid material.
- Example types of aerosol generating solids include powder, granules, pellets, shreds, strands, particles, gel, strips, loose leaves, cut leaves, cut filler, porous material, foam material or sheets.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise plant derived material and in particular, may comprise a tobacco. It may advantageously comprise reconstituted tobacco, for example including tobacco and any one or more of cellulose fibres, tobacco stalk fibres and inorganic fillers such as CaC03.
- the aerosol generating device with which the aerosol generating articles are intended for use may be referred to as a “heated tobacco device”, a “heat-not-bum tobacco device”, a “device for vaporising tobacco products”, and the like, with this being interpreted as a device suitable for achieving these effects.
- the features disclosed herein are equally applicable to devices which are designed to vaporise any aerosol generating substrate.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise an aerosol-former.
- aerosol- formers include polyhydric alcohols and mixtures thereof such as glycerine or propylene glycol.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise an aerosol- former content of between approximately 5% and approximately 50% on a dry weight basis.
- the aerosol generating substrate may comprise an aerosol- former content of between approximately 10% and approximately 20% on a dry weight basis, and possibly approximately 15% on a dry weight basis.
- the aerosol generating article may be configured for use with an electrically-operated aerosol generating device including a heater.
- the heater may be a resistive heater or may be an inductive heater.
- the aerosol generating substrate may release volatile compounds.
- the volatile compounds may include nicotine or flavour compounds such as tobacco flavouring.

- the aerosol generating article 1 is substantially planar and has a distal end 10 and a mouth end 12 (or proximal end) at the opposite end of the aerosol generating article 1.
- the mouth end 12 is downstream of the distal end 10 with respect to an airflow direction through the aerosol generating article 1 as represented in Figure 1 by the three arrows.
- a longitudinal axis extends between the distal end 10 and the mouth end 12 to define a longitudinal direction of the aerosol generating article 1.
- the aerosol generating article 1 comprises a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 may comprise a bulk or mass of aerosol generating material or a plurality of aerosol generating strips, and has a flat rectangular shape with a pair of oppositely disposed main surfaces 14a, 14b.
- the aerosol generating article 1 is a consumable, or disposable, article in which the aerosol generating substrate 14 may comprise tobacco or a tobacco material.
- the aerosol generating article 1 comprises a wrapping member 22 which surrounds the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate 14 to form the substantially planar aerosol generating article 1.
- the wrapping member 22 may, for example, comprise cigarette paper or a similar material.
- the wrapping member 22 comprises a pair of rectangular sheets 24, 26 which are attached, respectively, to the main surfaces 14a, 14b of the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the rectangular sheets 24, 26 are typically formed by a single sheet of material which is wrapped around the aerosol generating substrate 14 and which may have overlapping edges that are adhered to each other in a sealing region 20 (see Figure 4c) to secure the wrapping member 22 in position around the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 may have a length (in the longitudinal direction of the aerosol generating article 1) of approximately 18.0 mm, may have a width of approximately 11.8 mm, and may have a thickness (or depth) of approximately 1.2 mm.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 may be spaced inwardly from the distal end 10 of the aerosol generating article 1 by a small distance, for example approximately 3.0 mm, as shown in Figure 1.
- the aerosol generating article 1 may have a width of approximately 12.0 mm and a thickness (or depth) of approximately 1.4 mm to accommodate the aerosol generating substrate 14 inside the wrapping member 22.
- the aerosol generating article 1 may have any suitable length between the distal end 10 and the mouth end 12 by varying the length of the portion of the wrapping member 22 that extends between the downstream end of the aerosol generating substrate 14 and the mouth end 12.
- the portion of the wrapping member 22 that extends beyond the downstream end of the aerosol generating substrate 14 may form a mouth-end portion 34 of the aerosol generating article 1.
- the vapour may cool and condense to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user.
- the length of the portion of the wrapping member 22 that extends beyond the downstream end of the aerosol generating substrate 14 may be selected at the time of manufacture to provide an aerosol with desired characteristics.
- the wrapping member 22 comprises a porous inner surface 22a which faces towards the aerosol generating substrate 14 and which is capable of absorbing condensation that may be formed during the heating process.
- the wrapping member 22 can comprise an anti-stick outer surface 22b facing away from the aerosol generating substrate 14 to reduce the risk of the wrapping member 22 sticking to surfaces of the aerosol generating device 102 when it has been heated.
- the anti-stick outer surface 22b may comprise an anti-stick coating on the outer surface 22b of the wrapping member 22.
- the wrapping member 22 comprises a window 16 which is aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the window 16 comprises a die-cut portion 18 formed in the wrapping member 22, for example in the rectangular sheet 24.
- the die-cut portion 18 provides a window 16 which is open at the time of manufacture.
- the window 16 is positioned adjacent to (i.e., overlies), and exposes, the main surface 14a of the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the area of the window 16 is smaller than the area of the main surface 14a of the aerosol generating substrate 14 and, thus, overlies a portion of the main surface 14a.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 cannot, therefore, pass through the window 16 and is securely retained in position by the wrapping member 22.
- FIG 3 there is shown a second example of an aerosol generating article 2.
- the aerosol generating article 2 is similar to the aerosol generating article 1 described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2 and corresponding features are identified using the same reference numerals.
- the aerosol generating article 2 includes a support member 28 positioned at the mouth end 12 of the aerosol generating article 3 to form a mouth-end portion 34 which can be engaged by a user’s lips during use of the aerosol generating article 2 in an aerosol generating device 102.
- the support member 28 typically comprises a self-supporting material such as cardboard or a plastics material and has a rectangular tubular form when viewed in cross-section to receive a downstream end of the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- the wrapping member 22 also surrounds the support member 28.
- the method comprises providing a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate 14 and providing a wrapping member 22 comprising a window 16 in the form of a die-cut portion 18 as described above.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 and the wrapping member 22 are then positioned with respect to each other so that the window 16 is aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate 14 as shown in Figure 4b.
- the area of the window 16 is smaller than the area of the main surface 14a, 14b of the aerosol generating substrate 14, thus preventing the aerosol generating substrate 14 from passing through the window 16.
- the wrapping member 22 is then wrapped around the aerosol generating substrate 14 as shown in Figure 4c, whilst ensuring that window 16 remains aligned with the aerosol generating substrate 14, to form the substantially planar aerosol generating article 1.
- Overlapping edges of the wrapping member 22 can be adhered to each other in a sealing region 20 as shown in Figure 4c to ensure that the wrapping member 22 is secured in position around the aerosol generating substrate 14.
- Figure 4d is a diagrammatic illustration (similar to Figure 1) of the final aerosol generating article 1 from the opposite side to that shown in Figure 4c.
- the method comprises providing a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate 14 and providing a wrapping member 22 comprising a window 16.
- the wrapping member 22 comprises a removable portion 30 covering the window 16.
- the periphery of the removable portion 30 is defined by lines of weakness 32 in the form of perforations 36.
- the aerosol generating substrate 14 and the wrapping member 22 are then positioned with respect to each other so that the window 16 (more specifically the removable portion 30) is aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate 14 as shown in Figure 5b.
- the area of the window 16 (more specifically the removable portion 30) is smaller than the area of the main surface 14a, 14b of the aerosol generating substrate 14 so that the window 16 overlies a portion of the main surface 14a, 14b, thus preventing the aerosol generating substrate 14 from passing through the window 16 following removal of the removable portion 30.
- the wrapping member 22 is then wrapped around the aerosol generating substrate 14 as shown in Figure 5c, whilst ensuring that the window 16 (more specifically the removable portion 30) remains aligned with the aerosol generating substrate 14, to form the substantially planar aerosol generating article 3.
- FIG. 5d illustrates the final aerosol generating article 3 from the opposite side to that shown in Figure 5c, with the removable portion 30 intact.
- the removable portion 30 Prior to use of the aerosol generating article 3 in an aerosol generating device 102, the removable portion 30 is removed by a user to form the window 16 and to thereby expose the portion of the aerosol generating substrate 14 beneath the window 16.
- the perforations 36, or similar lines of weakness 32, allow the removable portion 30 to be easily tom off by a user whilst leaving the remainder of the wrapping member 22 intact.
- an aerosol generating system 100 comprising an aerosol generating device 102 and a first example of an aerosol generating article 1 as described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2. It will be appreciated that the aerosol generating device 102 could be used in combination with an alternative aerosol generating article according to the present disclosure, such as the second or third examples of the aerosol generating articles 2, 3 described above with reference to Figures 3 and 5a to 5d.
- the aerosol generating device 102 comprises a receiving chamber 106 and a heater 104 positioned in the device body 108 to provide heat to the receiving chamber 106.
- the heater 104 may be a resistive heater or may alternatively be an induction heater comprising a susceptor and an electromagnetic field generator including an induction coil.
- the aerosol generating device 102 may include a cover 110 and a pivotal mounting 112 that allows the cover 110 to be moved between a closed position shown in Figure 6 and an open position (not shown).
- a user must pivot the cover 110 to the open position to permit insertion of the aerosol generating article 1 into the receiving chamber 106 and then pivot the cover back to the closed position shown in Figure 6 to retain the aerosol generating article 1 in position in the receiving chamber 106.
- the aerosol generating device 102 includes a power source 114, e.g., a rechargeable battery, and a controller 116, both of which are connected to the heater 104.
- the heater 104 may be actuated manually, e.g., via a user interface such as a button on the aerosol generating device 102, or may be actuated automatically in response to a user drawing on a mouthpiece 118 of the aerosol generating device 102.
- the aerosol generating device 102 includes one or more air inlets 120 to allow air to flow into the aerosol generating article 1 and through the aerosol generating substrate 14. The airflow direction is illustrated by the arrows in Figure 6.
- the aerosol generating article 1 With the aerosol generating article 1 positioned in the receiving chamber 106, power is supplied from the power source 114 to the heater 104 (either by a manual or automatic actuation of the heater 104 as described above), thereby heating the aerosol generating substrate 14 without burning it to release one or more volatile components.
- the window 16 in the wrapping member 22 allows heat to be transferred directly from the heater 104 to the aerosol generating substrate 14 and, although not apparent from Figure 6, a surface of the aerosol generating substrate 14 may be in direct contact with the heater 104.
- the volatile components released by the heated aerosol generating substrate 14 are entrained in the air flowing through the aerosol generating substrate 14 thereby forming a vapour.
- the vapour cools and condenses as it flows through the aerosol generating article 1 to form an aerosol which is inhaled by a user through the mouthpiece 118 of the aerosol generating device 102.
- the aerosol generating article 1 can be removed from the receiving chamber 106 after pivoting the cover 110 to the open position, and a replacement aerosol generating article 1 can be inserted in its place.
- the support member 28 may project from an open end 106a of the receiving chamber 106 thereby enabling a user’s lips to engage the mouth-end portion 34 of the aerosol generating article 2 formed by the support member 28.
- the removable portion 30 must be removed, e.g., tom off, by a user before positioning the aerosol generating article 3 in the receiving chamber 106.
