Abstract
A vaporization capsule including a liquid active agent absorbed in or adsorbed to a substrate, which may be operated so as to vaporize the liquid active agent. The vaporization capsule includes a capsule body defining a first volume and a second volume. A first cover sealingly engages the capsule body at a first end thereof. The first cover includes an exterior perimeter, an interior wall including a hollow defined between the exterior perimeter and the interior wall portion, and at least one indentation disposed in the interior wall portion, fluidly connecting the first volume and the second volume via the hollow.
Claims19
A vaporization capsule, comprising:
- an elongate capsule body disposed along a longitudinal axis, including:
- a first wall defining a first volume;
- a second wall disposed about said first wall, and defining a second volume between an inner surface of said second wall and an outer surface of said first wall;
- a third wall disposed transversely to said longitudinal axis, said third wall extending radially inward from the inner surface of said second wall to define a third volume and engaging said first wall at an upper end thereof;
- at least one first bore extending through said third wall, and enabling fluid flow between said third volume and said first volume;
- and
- at least one second bore extending through said third wall and enabling fluid flow between said second volume and said third volume;
- and
- a bottom cover sealingly engaging said elongate capsule body at a bottom end thereof, said bottom cover including:
- an exterior perimeter engaging a lower end of said second wall;
- an interior core having an outer surface engaging an interior surface of said first wall adjacent the bottom end thereof;
- a hollow defined between said exterior perimeter and said outer surface of said interior core;
- and
- at least one indentation formed in said interior core, fluidly connecting said first volume and said second volume via said hollow,
- such that a fluid flow path extends from said at least one first bore to said at least one second bore, via said first volume, said at least one indentation, said hollow, and said second volume.
