An Aerosol Generating Device And An Aerosol Generating System
Patent No. EP4287884 (titled "An Aerosol Generating Device And An Aerosol Generating System") was filed by Japan Tobacco on Jan 26, 2022. The application was issued on Mar 5, 2025.
Patent Summary
A portable aerosol generating device that rapidly heats an aerosol generating article like tobacco to generate an aerosol for inhalation. The device has a chamber with an air gap between the article and a heated susceptor. Air flows through the gap between the susceptor and chamber wall, and between the susceptor and article, when drawing air through the device. This allows air to be heated by the susceptor as it flows through the gaps. The outer air gap between the susceptor and chamber wall, and the inner air gap between the susceptor and article, provide separate air paths for drawing air through the device.
