Abstract
A component for an inhalation device having a first end for connection to a body of an inhalation device and a second end. A passage extends through the component from the first end to the second end for the flow of inhalant therethrough. The first end includes a blind cavity, separate to the passage and containing an organoleptic material. Also, an inhalation device comprising a body with a first end connected to such a component of the inhalation device and, a second end configured to receive an inhalant-generating component, is disclosed. A conduit extends through the body between the first and second ends.
Claims29
An inhalation device component, comprising:
- a first end configured to connect to a body of an inhalation device;
- a second end;
- and
- a passage extending through the inhalation device component from the first end to the second end and configured to receive a flow of inhalant therethrough,
- the first end defining a blind cavity therein, separate from the passage and containing an organoleptic material, the blind cavity configured to receive the flow of inhalant to impart an organoleptic property to the inhalant as the inhalant passes over the organoleptic material.
An inhalation device, comprising:
- an inhalation device component comprising:
- a first end configured to connect to a body of the inhalation device,
- a second end, and
- a passage extending through the inhalation device component from the first end to the second end and configured to receive a flow of inhalant therethrough, the first end defining a blind cavity therein, separate from the passage and containing an organoleptic material, the blind cavity configured to receive the flow of inhalant to impart an organoleptic property to the inhalant as the inhalant passes over the organoleptic material;
- and
- a body including:
- a first end configured to receive the inhalation device component,
- a second end configured to receive an inhalant generator, and
- a conduit extending through the body between the first end and the second end.
A pack comprising:
- a plurality of inhalation device components, each of the plurality of inhalation device components comprising:
- a first end configured to connect to a body of an inhalation device,
- a second end, and
- a passage extending through the inhalation device component from the first end to the second end and configured to receive a flow of inhalant therethrough, the first end defining a blind cavity therein, separate from the passage and containing an organoleptic material, the blind cavity configured to receive the flow of inhalant to impart an organoleptic property to the inhalant as the inhalant passes over the organoleptic material.
