    摘要: An evaporator unit for an inhaler, in particular for an electronic cigarette product, comprises an electrically operable, in particular planar, heating body which has an inlet side and an outlet side, and a plurality of microchannels which each extend from the inlet side to the outlet side through the heating body, the heating body being designed to evaporate, by applying a heating voltage, liquid transferred through the microchannels. A porous and/or capillary wick structure is arranged on the inlet side of the heating body, which structure rests flat against and in contact with the heating body and covers all of the microchannels on the inlet side.

    摘要: The invention relates to a liquid store for an inhaler (10), in particular for an electronic cigarette product, having an outlet end (53) which can be fluidically connected to a heating element (60) in order to evaporate liquid (50) supplied to the heating element (60) from the liquid store (18). The liquid store (18) has at least one air inlet end (52) and at least one channel (51). The channel (51) extends from the air inlet end (52) to the outlet end (53) through the liquid store (18), wherein the channel (51) is designed to transfer the liquid (50) stored in the liquid store (18) to the outlet end (53) through the channel (51) by means of capillary forces.

    摘要: The present application is directed to an apparatus for inserting objects into a filter rod. The apparatus can include: a first conduit adapted to convey a plurality of the objects in series; a first escapement having a first inlet and a first outlet connected by a first channel, wherein the first inlet is connected to the first conduit; a first singulation drum having an outer periphery defining a first row of first pockets adapted to hold the objects, wherein the first singulation drum is adapted to rotate about a first axis to successively move the first pockets into registry with the first outlet; and at least one first source of air that conveys the objects from the first inlet to the first outlet, and successively into the first pockets of the first singulation drum. Other details and methods of inserting objects into a filter rod are also discussed.
