    摘要: There is provided a holder (300) for an inhaler article (200), the holder (300) comprising an inhalation volume estimator (350) and an air flow passage (322). The inhalation volume estimator (350) comprises a turbine (352) and an indicator coupled to the turbine (352) for indicating inhalation volume information relating to a volume of an air flow through the air flow passage (322). In use, the turbine (352) is configured to rotate in response to air flow through the air flow passage (322) and alter the inhalation volume information indicated by the indicator. An inhalation system (100) comprising the holder (300) is also provided.

    摘要: An inhalation counter (350, 450, 550) for an inhalation system (100) is provided. The inhalation system comprises a fluid flow passage (322) and the inhalation counter comprises an escapement wheel (352, 452), a biasing means (354, 454) for incrementing the escapement wheel, a conversion mechanism which, in use, is configured to perform a first action in response to a temporary increase in fluid flow rate through the fluid flow passage, and an anchor (356, 456). The anchor is coupled to the conversion mechanism and configured to interact with the escapement wheel so as to allow the biasing means to increment the escapement wheel in response to the first action of the conversion mechanism. A holder (300) and an inhalation system comprising the inhalation counter are also provided.

    摘要: A container (1) for consumer goods, the container comprises an outer housing comprising a box portion (60) and a lid portion (50). The lid portion (50) is linearly movable relative to the box portion between a closed position, in which the lid portion covers the access opening, and an open position, in which the access opening is exposed. The container (1) comprises a locking mechanism configured to transition between: a locked state, in which the lid portion (50) is prevented from moving linearly from the closed position to the open position; and an unlocked state, in which the lid portion (50) is able to move linearly from the closed position to the open position.

    摘要: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a fluid guide to allow movement of fluid, the guide having proximal and distal ends and inner and outer longitudinal regions separated by a barrier, the inner longitudinal region including an inner longitudinal passageway between the distal and proximal ends, and the outer longitudinal region including an outer longitudinal passageway that communicates external fluid through an aperture to the distal end so external fluid can travel along the outer passageway to the distal end of the fluid guide; a tubular element including a gel including an active agent, the tubular element having proximal and distal ends and being disposed at the distal end of the fluid guide; and a cavity between the distal end of the fluid guide and the proximal end of the tubular element. An aerosol-generating device, and a method of manufacturing an aerosol-generating article, are also provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a susceptor for an inductively heatable aerosol-generating article, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a band of susceptor material and providing a compression stage. The compression stage comprises oppositely arranged compression elements, wherein in a first portion of the compression stage, the compression elements are arranged to define a progressively narrowing compression gap and wherein in a second portion of the compression stage the compression elements are arranged to define a constant compression gap there between and wherein the oppositely arranged compression elements are configured to have matching surface structures. The band of susceptor material is guided through the narrowing compression gap of the compression stage, such that the matching surface structures of the compression elements deep draw the band of susceptor material. The invention also relates to a susceptor element having successively arranged plain and expanded portions and to a method of manufacturing thereof.

    摘要: There is provided an inhaler article (10) having an upstream end (1) and a downstream end (2). The inhaler article comprises an upstream section (3) which comprises an end plug (5). The inhaler article comprises a downstream section (4) located downstream of the upstream section and spaced apart from the upstream section. The downstream section comprises a filter segment (6). The resistance to draw per unit length of the filter segment is greater than 0 millimetres of water per millimetre and less than about 3 millimetres of water per millimetre. The inhaler article comprises a cavity (7) defined between the upstream and downstream sections, and configured to be in fluid communication with the exterior of the article. The inhaler article comprises a capsule (9) containing an inhalable material, and located in the cavity. There is also provided an inhaler system (100) comprising such an inhaler article and a holder (120).
