Inhaler article with occluded airflow element

Abstract

An inhaler article includes a tubular housing defining a holder body extending along a longitudinal axis from a mouthpiece end to a consumable receiving end. The holder body includes an inner tube extending along the longitudinal axis and within the tubular housing from a tube intake end to a tube exhaust end. The tube intake end is proximate the consumable receiving end. The inner tube defines an air flow lumen with two or more air flow apertures extending through a wall of the inner tube. An air blocking feature is positioned in the air flow lumen and between two of the air flow apertures. A vibration inducing element disposed on the inner tube proximate to the tube exhaust end or the tube intake end, the vibration inducing element comprises an aperture through the wall of the inner tube and having a tapered or angled downstream aperture edge.
