A system for generating inhalable aerosol using a vaporizer
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230309615A1) describes a system for generating an inhalable aerosol. The system includes an insert with a housing that defines an inner chamber. The inner chamber has a first compartment for containing a non-liquid vaporizable material, which forms part of the inhalable aerosol when heated. The inner chamber also has a second compartment that is separate from the first compartment and defines a first insert airflow pathway. This second compartment allows for the formation of the inhalable aerosol and its delivery through an outlet for inhalation by a user.
The system also includes a vaporizer body with a receptacle for receiving the insert. A device airflow pathway extends into the receptacle between the insert and a side wall of the receptacle, upstream from the first insert airflow pathway. The system further includes a heating element that heats the non-liquid vaporizable material when the insert is positioned in the receptacle, generating the inhalable aerosol.
The patent also describes additional features of the system, such as an outlet positioned along a mouthpiece of the insert and an inlet positioned along a first end of the insert. The first compartment and the second compartment of the inner chamber extend approximately parallel to each other. The inner chamber may also include a third compartment for containing additional non-liquid vaporizable material, with the second compartment positioned between the first compartment and the third compartment.
The housing of the insert can be made of aluminum foil or a paper material. The non-liquid vaporizable material can include plant material and/or a plant material-based product, such as a tobacco leaf or reconstituted tobacco.
Overall, this patent describes a system for generating an inhalable aerosol using a specific configuration of compartments, airflow pathways, and heating elements. The system aims to provide a convenient and efficient way for users to inhale vaporized substances.
