    摘要: A piercing device (150) contains a recessed piercing element (160) and is configured to receive a distal end (118) of an inhaler article (110). The piercing element pierces or punctures a single hole into a capsule contained within the inhaler article when the inhaler article is seated into an inhaler article cavity (157) of the piercing device. The piercing device includes a marking element (170) extending into the inhaler article cavity from the housing inner surface (152). The marking element is configured to mark an outer surface of an inhaler device when the inhaler device is received within the inhaler article cavity. The marking element extends orthogonally to the piercing element longitudinal axis.

    摘要: An inhaler article includes a body (110) extending along a longitudinal axis from a mouthpiece (112) end to a distal end with an endpiece element at the distal end (114). A capsule cavity is defined within the body. An air inlet region is between the endpiece element (120) and the capsule cavity (116). A composite porous support element (140) defines a downstream end of the capsule cavity. The composite porous support element is formed of a first porous material concentrically disposed about a second porous material. The first porous material has a first resistance to draw and the second porous material having a second resistance to draw. The first resistance to draw is different than the second resistance to draw. A mouthpiece air channel (113) extends from the capsule cavity, through the composite porous element to the mouthpiece end.

    摘要: A holder (150) for an inhaler article (110) includes a housing (151) defining an inhaler article cavity (154). A piercing element (160) is fixed to and extends into the inhaler article cavity. A sleeve (180) is disposed within the inhaler article cavity and is configured to retain an inhaler article. The sleeve is movable along the housing longitudinal axis. A spring element (200) is configured to bias the sleeve toward the open proximal end (156) of the housing.

    摘要: An inhaler article includes a body extending from a mouthpiece end to a distal end with an endpiece element at the distal end. A capsule cavity is defined within the body and extends a cavity length. An air inlet region is between the endpiece element and the capsule cavity. The air inlet region has an air inlet and an air passageway extending from the air inlet to the capsule cavity. The air passageway has an inner diameter less than an inner diameter of the capsule cavity. A porous support element defines a downstream end of the capsule cavity. The porous support element includes one or more apertures extending the length of the porous support element.

    摘要: There is provided a tobacco flavoured dry powder formulation comprising a plurality of particles comprising a base material and a tobacco flavouring composition, wherein a first ratio by weight of (β-ionone+β-damascenone) to (phenol) in the tobacco flavoured dry powder formulation is greater than 0.25. Further, there is provided a method of producing one such tobacco flavoured powder formulation. The method comprises the steps of: preparing a tobacco starting material; heating the tobacco starting material at an extraction temperature of between 100 degrees Celsius and 160 degrees Celsius for at least 90 minutes; collecting the volatile compounds released from the tobacco starting material during the heating step; forming a liquid tobacco flavouring composition comprising the collected volatile compounds; combining a base material and the liquid tobacco flavouring composition to form tobacco flavoured particles.
