  • Patent number: 12250969
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder includes a main body defining a proximal end and a distal end, the main body further defining a receiving chamber configured to receive at least a portion of a substrate cartridge, and an aerosol passageway that extends through at least a portion of the main body, a power source, and a modular lighter configured to ignite the ignitable heat source. The modular lighter is powered by the power source and is engageable with and separable from the main body.

  • Publication number: 20240196994
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder comprises a main body, an inner sleeve configured to move relative to the main body, and an actuating element configured to slide the inner sleeve to and from a retracted position, in which an outer surface of the inner sleeve is not visible, and a use position, in which the inner sleeve protects an inserted cartridge. In another implementation, the holder comprises a main body, a receiving member located within the main body, and a spring-loaded latch mechanism. The latch mechanism may be configured to actuate the receiving member to and from a loading position, a use position, and an ejecting position.

  • Publication number: 20240081400
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device and a control unit for use in an aerosol delivery device configured to receive a removable and replaceable aerosol precursor consumable. The control unit comprises a body frame having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the body frame defining a first portion of a receiving chamber, and a removable and replaceable housing panel configured to be releasably received onto the body frame. In one implementation, the housing panel forms part of an outer surface of the control unit, and the housing panel forms a second portion of the receiving chamber. In another implementation, the housing panel forms part of an outer surface of the control unit, and the body frame includes a rail feature configured to slidably engage a complementary rail feature of the housing panel.

  • Patent number: 11825872
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable substrate cartridge. In one implementation, the holder includes a main body defining a proximal end and a distal end, and an outer sleeve configured to slide relative to the main body, the outer sleeve also defining a proximal end and a distal end. The outer sleeve is configured to slide to a use position, in which the proximal end of the main body extends beyond the proximal end of the outer sleeve and the distal end of the outer sleeve extends beyond the distal end of the main body, and a storage position, in which the distal end of the main body extends beyond the distal end of the outer sleeve and the proximal end of the outer sleeve substantially covers the proximal end of the main body.
