Patent number: 11903413Abstract: A shisha consumable article (101) for use with an external assembly such as a shisha assembly is described. The shisha consumable article includes a housing (110) defining a first compartment (112) and a second compartment (114) being adjacent to the first compartment. The second compartment is adjacent to, and sealed or air impermeable from, the first compartment. A combustible heat source (120) is contained within the first compartment and an aerosol-forming substrate (130) is contained within the second compartment.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Philip Morris Products S.A.Inventors: Samuel Bonnely, Angelos Kolyris, Stuart Michael Ruan Jones, John Antony Stephenson, Yaan Thomas Kinally, Michael Paton, David Cross, Didier Goedertier, Francois Ceppi

Patent number: 11751602Abstract: A shisha device (100) comprises multiple receptacles for receiving a plurality of consumables (20) comprising aerosol-generating substrate. In addition or alternatively, a shisha device comprises an electrical heating element configured to penetrate into an aerosol-generating substrate. Preferably, the shisha devices heat the aerosol-generating substrate in the consumables to an extent sufficient to generate an aerosol without combusting the substrate. The device may include control electronics operably coupled to the heating elements and configured to cause a first heating element to heat an aerosol-generating substrate of a first consumable received by a first receptacle until the aerosol-generating substrate is depleted or nearly depleted prior to causing a second heating element to heat an aerosol-generating substrate of a second consumable received by a second receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Philip Morris Products S.A.Inventor: Angelos Kolyris

Patent number: 11147316Abstract: An aerosol generating device is provided, including a vaporiser configured to vaporise an aerosol-forming substrate; a battery connected to the vaporiser a control circuit configured to control a supply of power from the battery to the vaporiser; a memory storing a usage record of the device; and a replacement indicator configured to provide a signal to a user. The control circuit is configured to compare a measured voltage across the battery to a threshold voltage, and to generate an error signal to update the usage record if the measured voltage is less than the threshold voltage during an operation cycle. The control circuit is also configured to access the usage record and to activate the replacement indicator depending on the status of the usage record.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2015Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS S.A.Inventors: Robin Farine, Pascal Talon, Angelos Kolyris

Publication number: 20210289834Abstract: A shisha device for use with a cartridge containing an aerosol-generating substrate includes a vessel, a receptacle, and an electrical heating element. The cartridge comprises a housing surrounding the aerosol-generating substrate. The vessel defines an interior configured to contain liquid and defines an outlet in communication with the interior of the vessel. The receptacle is configured to receive the cartridge. The heating element is configured to heat the aerosol-generating substrate in the cartridge to generate an aerosol when the cartridge is received by the receptacle. Preferably, the heating element is configured to heat the tobacco substrate to an extent sufficient to generate the aerosol without combusting the aerosol-generating substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS S.A.Inventors: Cedric Meyer, Samuel Bonnely, Angelos Kolyris, Stuart Michael Ruan Jones, John Antony Stephenson, Yaan Thomas Kinally, Michael Paton, David Cross

Patent number: 11044946Abstract: A shisha device (100) for use with a cartridge (20) containing an aerosol-generating substrate (302) includes a vessel, a receptacle, and an electrical heating element. The cartridge comprises a housing surrounding the aerosol-generating substrate. The vessel defines an interior configured to contain liquid (19) and defines an outlet in communication with the interior of the vessel. The receptacle is configured to receive the cartridge. The heating element is configured to heat the aerosol-generating substrate in the cartridge to generate an aerosol when the cartridge is received by the receptacle. The heating element is configured to heat the tobacco substrate to an extent sufficient to generate the aerosol without combusting the aerosol-generating substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Philip Morris Products S.A.Inventors: Cedric Meyer, Samuel Bonnely, Angelos Kolyris, Stuart Michael Ruan Jones, John Antony Stephenson, Yaan Thomas Kinally, Michael Paton, David Cross

Patent number: 10524503Abstract: A smoking article having a proximal end and a distal end is provided, including a combustible heat source disposed at the distal end; an aerosol-forming substrate downstream of the combustible heat source; a mouthpiece downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate and disposed at the proximal end; and a tubular element, which is slideable from a first position towards the distal end to a second position. In the second position, the tubular element at least partially extends over the combustible heat source and is configured to reduce the air supply to the combustible heat source. The tubular element is configured to modify a heat output of the combustible heat source, and to control a resistance-to-draw of the smoking article by selectively covering air inlets.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Philip Morris Products S.A.Inventors: Dionisius Elisabeth Antonius Florack, Evan Jochnowitz, Angelos Kolyris, Keethan Dasnavis Fernando
