Abstract: An aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device includes a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate and a wrapping member surrounding the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate to form a substantially planar aerosol generating article. The wrapping member includes a window aligned with part of the aerosol generating substrate, and optionally includes a removable portion covering the window.

Abstract: An aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device includes a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate, at least one channel-forming strip extending along the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate, and a wrapping member surrounding the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate and the at least one channel-forming strip. The aerosol generating substrate includes an aerosol generating material that generates an aerosol when heated by the aerosol generating device. The at least one channel-forming strip comprises a meltable material which is configured to melt to form an airflow channel when heated by the aerosol generating device. The meltable material does not include any active agents capable of releasing volatile components into the generated aerosol when the meltable material is heated by the aerosol generating device, and may include a non-toxic material such as wax.

Abstract: An aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device includes a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate, at least one airflow channel extending along the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate, and a wrapping member surrounding both the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate and the at least one airflow channel.

Abstract: An aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device comprises: an aerosol generating substrate comprising a plurality of aerosol generating strips extending in a first direction and arranged intermittently in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a plurality of elongate support elements extending in the first direction along the plurality of aerosol generating strips and arranged alternately in the second direction with the plurality of aerosol generating strips; and a wrapping member surrounding the plurality of aerosol generating strips and the plurality of elongate support elements to form a substantially planar aerosol generating article. A method of manufacturing the aerosol generating article is also described.

Abstract: An aerosol generating article for use with an aerosol generating device comprises a substantially planar aerosol generating substrate, at least one airflow channel extending along the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate (14), and a wrapping member surrounding the substantially planar aerosol generating substrate and the at least one airflow channel. The at least one airflow channel comprises two or more portions having different cross-sections.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a filter in which a liquid having phenol filtration capability is prevented from leaking out even after prolonged storage; and a flavor inhalation article equipped with said filter. The problem is solved by a filter that is for a flavor inhalation article, and that has a filtering medium including a biodegradable material, and a paper roll wound around the filtering medium. The filtering medium contains a liquid having a phenol filtration capability. A surface of the roll paper where a contact is made with the filtering medium is made of a layer exhibiting liquid-repellent properties with respect to said liquid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoking article (1) comprising an information code (101). More specifically, a smoking article for use in an aerosol generation device (2), comprises a machine-readable pattern (101) representing coded data on a surface area (102) of a layer comprised by the smoking article, wherein the pattern is formed by a plurality of recesses in and/or protrusions from the surface area, or perforations of the layer in the surface area.

Abstract: A consumable for an aerosol generation device including a tobacco material configured to generate an aerosol includes an information code for storing information about the consumable, and an aerosol generation device for detecting the code. More specifically, a consumable for use in an aerosol generation device, includes an aerosol-generating substrate and a wrapper, wherein a pattern representing an information code for storing information about the consumable is disposed on the wrapper along the direction which corresponds to the insertion or removal direction of the consumable into or from the aerosol generation device.

Abstract: A container for consumer goods includes a box for receiving goods, the box having an open end; a lid rotatable between open and closed positions for respectively opening and closing the open end of the box; a hinged connector that connects the lid to the box, where the hinged connector is connected to the lid at a connector-lid hinge line and connected to the box at a connector-box hinge line; and, a resilient mechanism arranged between the box and the connector such that, during lid opening, the resilient mechanism causes relative movement of the box to the connector.

Abstract: An article for an aerosol generation device comprising a tobacco material configured to generate an aerosol is disclosed. The article includes a wrapper. The wrapper comprises an information code for storing information on the article. The information code is optically recognizable. The information code includes a code unit having a pattern for storing information on the article. The code unit is repeated on the article. Each code unit comprises a reference element indicating the presence and, preferably, the position of the code units.

Abstract: A method includes folding a packaging from a single piece of foldable material, wherein the foldable material includes a back panel with adjacent back side panels, a rectangular top panel adjacent to the back panel with adjacent square top side panels, a lid panel adjacent to the top panel with adjacent lid side panels, a rectangular bottom panel adjacent to the back panel with adjacent polygonal bottom side panels and a front panel adjacent to the bottom panel with adjacent front side panels, wherein all of the panels are integral with each other in the single piece of foldable material. The method includes: a) wrapping the packaged good in an inner liner; b) placing an inner stiffener at at least two adjacent sides of the wrapped packaged good; and c) folding the foldable material around the inner stiffener and the wrapped packaged good forming a packaging.

Abstract: A container for consumer goods includes a box for receiving goods, the box having an open end; a lid rotatable between open and closed positions for respectively opening and closing the open end of the box; a hinged connector that connects the lid to the box, where the hinged connector is connected to the lid at a connector-lid hinge line and connected to the box at a connector-box hinge line; and, a resilient mechanism arranged between the box and the connector such that, during lid opening, the resilient mechanism causes relative movement of the box to the connector.
