    Abstract: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a fluid guide having proximal and distal ends, and an inner longitudinal region including an inner longitudinal passageway between the distal end and the proximal end thereof, such that fluid can travel from the distal end to the proximal end, the fluid guide including a barrier between the inner and outer longitudinal passageways; a tubular element including a gel or a porous medium or a thread loaded or any combination, the gel or the medium or the thread or the combination includes an active agent, the tubular element having proximal and distal ends and disposed to a distal side of the fluid guide; an aperture to allow fluid to pass to the tubular element and exit the article at the proximal end; a combustible heat source at the distal end of the article; and a cavity between the fluid guide and the tubular element.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A container (1) for consumer goods, the container comprises an outer sleeve (20) and inner box (10) disposed within the outer sleeve (20), and configured to be slidable with respect to the outer sleeve (20) between: a first position, in which the interior of the inner box (10) cannot be accessed by a user; and a second position, in which the interior of the inner box (10) can be accessed by a user. The container (1) having a locking mechanism for preventing the inner box (10) from sliding from the first position to the second position, when the inner box (10) is in the first position in the outer sleeve (20).
