DESCRIPTION
The invention relates to an inhaler component for the formation of a vapor-air mixture or / and Kondensationsaerosols by evaporation of a liquid material and optionally condensation of the vapor formed, comprising: a housing; an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of the liquid material; a wick having a capillary structure which wick forms a composite with the heating element and automatically supplies the heating element with the liquid material; a support plate, preferably printed circuit board, which carries the composite and on which the heating element is electrically contacted; a capillary gap formed at least in part by the carrier plate for the automatic supply of the composite with the liquid material, in that an end section of the wick protrudes into the capillary gap.
Definition of terms:
In the subject patent application, the term " inhaler " on medical as well as non-medical inhalers. The term also refers to inhalers for the administration of medicaments and those substances that are not declared as medicines. The term also refers to smoking articles and cigarette replacement articles, such as those contained in European Patent Class A24F47 / 00B, insofar as these are intended to present to the user a vapor-air mixture and / or condensation aerosol. The term "inhaler" should also make no restrictions on how the vapor-air mixture formed and / or condensation aerosol is supplied to the user or his body. The vapor-air mixture or / and condensation aerosol can enter the lungs
be inhaled, or even only the oral cavity are supplied - without inhalation into the lungs.
As the "capillary gap" apply any gap, which causes a liquid transport alone due to the capillary action of its boundary walls. Wicks, jacketed wicks or channels filled with wick material are not capillary columns.
The use of the singular "compound" does not rule out the existence of several networks. The invention explicitly includes multi-connection arrangements. WO 2010/045671 (Helmut Buchberger) describes an inhaler component for the intermittent, inhalation or train-synchronous formation of a vapor-air mixture or / and condensation aerosol, consisting of (FIG. 9-12 and FIG. 17-18) a housing 3, a chamber 21 disposed in the housing 3, an air inlet opening 26 for the supply of air from the environment into the chamber 21, an electric heating element for evaporation of a portion of a liquid material 16, wherein the vapor formed in the chamber 21 with the through the air inlet opening 26 mixes supplied air, and forms the vapor-air mixture and / or condensation aerosol. The inhaler component further comprises a wick having a capillary structure, which wick forms a laminar structure 22 with the heating element and automatically re-energizes the heating element with the liquid material 16 after evaporation. The planar composite 22 is mounted with two end portions on two electrically conductive, plate-shaped contacts 23, on the surface of the heating element is electrically contacted simultaneously. The plate-shaped contacts 23 may alternatively be formed by printed circuit boards or a common printed circuit board. At least one heated section of the planar composite 22 is arranged without contact in the chamber 21, and the capillary structure of the wick is largely free in the said section at least on one side 24 of the planar composite. The sheet-like composite 22 or its wick protrudes at one end into a capillary gap 41, which in turn is capillary coupled or couplable to a liquid container 4 containing the liquid material 16. Of the
Liquid container 4 has an openable closure 18, which is still closed before use. The openable closure 18 may be manually opened by a user, whereupon the liquid material 16 floods a reservoir 45 and wets the capillary gap 41. The capillary gap 41 draws the liquid material 16 from the liquid container 4 or reservoir 45 and transports it to the composite 22. The Kapillarspait 41 is basically formed by one of the two plate-shaped contacts 23 and a planar on this upper part 42 by the two together bordering components or their surfaces form boundary walls of the capillary 42. Furthermore, in the plate-shaped contact 23, a ventilation channel 52 is incorporated, which connects the reservoir 45 and the liquid container 4 with the chamber 21. The ventilation channel 52 causes a pressure equalization by each portion of liquid material 16, which passes into the capillary 41, is replaced immediately by a volume equal portion of air.
Finally, in the upper part 42, a buffer memory 53 is integrated, which communicates with the capillary 41 and itself consists of capillaries - see Fig. 11 and Fig. 17. The buffer memory 53 has the ability to receive liquid material 16 from the capillary 41, to buffer and if required, return it to the capillary gap 41. As a result, the inhaler component can also be operated in an inverted position of use - the mouthpiece 5 points downwards, at least as long as liquid material 16 is available in the buffer memory 53. The buffer memory 53 consists of mutually parallel slots 54, which are incorporated in the upper part 42. The slots 54 communicate on the one hand via openings 55 with the capillary 41 and on the other hand via a ventilation gap 56 with the chamber 21. The capillarity of the slots 54 causes the liquid material 16 from the reservoir 45 via the capillary 41 and via the openings 55 in the Slots 54 flows where it is cached and can be withdrawn from the capillary gap 41 as needed.
The construction of the buffer memory 53 proves to be extremely raumfordemd. The production of fine, incorporated in the upper part 42 slots 54 together with openings 55 is also relatively expensive. Finally, as
Disadvantage to be noted that the openings 55 interfere with the capillarity of the capillary 41, because through the openings 55 otherwise wettable wall sections of the capillary 41 accounts. The disturbance of the capillarity can affect the supply of the planar composite 22 with the liquid material 16 in the worst case.
The invention has for its object to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known from the prior art arrangement. The invention is in particular the object of an inhaler component of the type described by structurally simple means in such a way that sufficient amounts of liquid material can be buffered without claiming a significant additional space. Furthermore, the security of supply of the composite with the liquid material should be increased.
The object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that both the front and the back of the support plate at least partially form boundary walls of the capillary gap. The supply of the composite with the liquid material is thus not only on one side of the support plate, but on both sides. On both sides of the support plate capillary gaps or Kapillarspalt sections are provided, which are bounded by the support plate. As a result, an additional capillary gap volume can be created in a simple and space-saving manner, which simultaneously acts as a buffer. Another beneficial effect is to be seen in the redundancy of the liquid supply: falls the supply in a capillary gap section - for whatever reason - from, so the composite can at least still on the lying on the opposite side of the support plate Kapillarspalt section with the be supplied liquid material.
In a further development of the invention, it is provided that the support plate edge also forms, at least in sections, a boundary wall of the capillary gap. In this way, the buffer volume can be further increased. It is particularly favorable if the capillary gap encloses the carrier plate at least partially. The enclosure has the effect that the Kapillarspalt sections on the front and back of the support plate on the
Board edge communicate with each other. Even if the capillary liquid flow were interrupted at several points of the capillary gap, there would usually be an alternative path for bypassing the affected areas.
According to the invention form more than 50 percent of the support plate surface boundary walls of the capillary gap. From the housing projecting portions of the support plate are disregarded in the calculation. Due to the extensive use of the carrier plate surface as a boundary wall of the capillary gap, the above-mentioned effects regarding the formation of an additional buffer volume and the increase in security of supply can be maximized. Furthermore, the supply capacity, which is the maximum transferable amount of liquid material per unit time per capita, can be increased.
It is particularly advantageous if the capillary gap is formed at least in sections by the carrier plate and an adjacent wall of the housing. The capillary gap is formed in this case at least in sections alone by existing components. Any existing wall sections of the housing are used as boundary walls of the capillary gap. It is claimed no additional space.
A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to an inhaler component comprising a liquid container containing the liquid material, from which the capillary gap receives the liquid material, and it is provided that the capillary gap is at least partially formed by the support plate and an adjacent wall of the liquid container. The liquid container may either form an independent component or be part of the housing. In the latter case, the liquid container is formed by walls of the housing. Particularly favorable conditions arise when the capillary gap communicates via a supply opening in the wall of the liquid container with the liquid material in the liquid container by the wall of the liquid container at the edge of the supply opening forms an extension, to which extension the support plate abuts with its edge. Accordingly, for the connection of the capillary gap to the
Liquid container no additional aids required. By the extension of a wall portion of the supply opening is extended to the outside. Assuming that the surfaces involved are well wettable by the liquid material, there is the effect that a small amount of liquid material is drawn out of the supply opening by the adhesion forces acting on the extended wall portion. The effect is sufficient that the liquid material also reaches and wets the abutting with its edge to the extension support plate. The capillary gap is thus coupled to the liquid material in the liquid container and can, driven by the capillary forces acting in it, fill with the liquid material.
The invention also relates to an inhaler comprising an inhaler component according to the invention as described above. The inhaler component can thus also be only a part, in particular a replaceable part of an inhaler.
The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment according to the drawings. Show it:

Fig. 1 shows an inhaler according to the invention, whose shape and size are designed so that the inhaler can be handled easily and conveniently by users. In volume, the inhaler is only about half the size of a pack of cigarettes. The inhaler exemplified consists basically of two parts, namely an inhaler part 1 and an inhaler component 2.
The inhaler component 2 consists of a housing 3, which forms a tobacco pipe-like mouthpiece 4 on one end face. The housing 3 is preferably made of plastic. The inhaler component 2 contains a liquid material, which is electrically vaporized within the housing 3 and is converted into an inhalable vapor-air mixture and / or condensation aerosol. The formed vapor-air mixture and / or condensation aerosol is presented to the user via the mouthpiece 4. As a liquid material are basically all substances and preparations into consideration, which evaporate largely free of residue under atmospheric conditions. This condition is fulfilled even if the respective substance or the respective preparation is diluted, for example, dissolved in water and / or ethanol, and the solution evaporates largely without residue. By a sufficiently high dilution in a volatile solvent such as water and / or ethanol and otherwise difficult to evaporate substances meet the aforementioned condition, and avoid thermal decomposition of the liquid material or significantly reduced.
The aerosol particles produced by condensation generally have a mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) less than 2 pm and thereby also reach the alveoli. The inhaler according to the invention is particularly suitable for the administration of systemically active substances - in particular those active substances which display their main action in the central nervous system. As an example nicotine is mentioned whose boiling point is 246 ° C. The nicotine-containing aerosol particles are precipitated predominantly in the bronchi and alveoli, where the active ingredient passes into the bloodstream in a flash. A few seconds later, nicotine reaches the brain in concentrated concentration, where it can unfold the known effects.
The inhaler part 1 consists of a main housing 5, which is preferably made of plastic again. The main housing 5 includes at least a battery 6 and an electrical circuit 7 (shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1) together with switch 7a. The battery 6 and the electrical circuit 7 provide the necessary for the evaporation of the liquid material electrical energy. The battery 6 preferably consists of a rechargeable accumulator, for example of the type CGR18650K from the manufacturer Panasonic, www.industrial.panasonic.com. This is a cylindrical 18650 size lithium ion cell with a storage capacity of 1650mAh and a current carrying capacity of up to 30A. Comparable cells are also used by other manufacturers, i.a. Sony, Samsung, LG Chem, produced in large quantities.
As shown in FIG. 2, the inhaler part 1 and the inhaler component 2 in the specific embodiment are designed to be detachable from each other. This arrangement makes the inhaler part 1 reusable, which is basically useful, considering that firstly the inhaler part 1 does not come into contact with the liquid material, ie it is not contaminated with the liquid material, and secondly it contains components which are more durable As the components of the inhaler component 2. The inhaler component 2, after the liquid material is used up, disposed of properly by the user as a whole, and replaced by a new inhaler component 2. The inhaler component 2 thus represents a replaceable disposable article. Proper disposal is particularly indicated when the liquid material contains drugs or poisons such as nicotine. In principle, it would also be conceivable, of course, the inhaler part 1 and the inhaler component 2
• ft ft · ft · M
one-piece, so inseparable from each other. However, this embodiment may be less economical because in this case all parts and components of the inhaler, ie the inhaler as a whole forms a disposable article for single use. Of course, the subject invention also includes this embodiment, in which case the whole inhaler is to be understood as an inhaler component.
The mechanical coupling between the replaceable inhaler component 2 and the reusable inhaler part 1 takes place via tabs 8a and guide tabs 9a formed by the housing 3, which engage in corresponding plug sockets 8b and guide grooves 9b formed by the main housing 5 of the reusable inhaler part 1. The tabs 8a and sockets 8b simultaneously serve to introduce the electrical energy into the replaceable inhaler component 2 for evaporation of the liquid material, as will be shown in more detail below.
FIGS. 3a and 3b show different views of the exchangeable inhaler component 2. FIGS. 4-11 provide further information about the internal structure of the inhaler component 2. Accordingly, the housing 3 of the inhaler component 2 has a substantially cuboidal shape. Inside the cuboidal housing 3 are the essential components for the formation of the vapor-air mixture or / and Kondensationsaerosols. These include in particular the composites 10, which cause the evaporation of the liquid material. In the specific embodiment, six composites 10 are arranged side by side, and the composites have a planar shape. The laminar composites 10 each consist of a wick and an electric heating element, which are connected to one another in a planar manner or integrated into one another in a planar manner. The laminar composites 10 may be formed, for example, by a metal foil and metal fabric layers sintered thereon. Instead of the metal fabric and open-cell metal foams can be used. The open-pored capillary structure of the fabric layers sintered onto the metal foil or the metal foam forms the wick, and the electrical resistance of the metal forms the heating element. Suitable metallic resistance materials are Ιό: 4 »·· • t * I 9 9 * 9 •«
i: ·: * * • · For example, stainless steels such as AISI 304 or AISI 316 as well
Heating conductor alloys, in particular NiCr alloys. The production of such laminar composites 10 belongs to the state of the art and is disclosed in detail, for example, in the already cited WO 2010/045671 (Helmut Buchberger). It should be noted that the laminar composites 10 need not necessarily be formed flat, but may also have a spatial curvature.
As best shown in FIGS. 4b and 7, the laminar composites 10 are mounted on a carrier plate 11 with two end sections 10a, 10b. The carrier plate 11 has a large recess 12, which is spanned by the links 10 in a contact-free manner is executed in the concrete embodiment as a printed circuit board, in particular as a multilayer printed circuit board. As a material for the circuit board 11 are basically all known PCB materials, in particular the material types FR1 to FR5. The laminar composites 10 are electrically contacted in the region of the end sections 10a, 10b on printed conductors 13 of the printed circuit board 11. In Fig. 7, the conductor tracks 13 are shown as black areas. In the case of the metal foil composites described above, the electrical contacting is preferably carried out by a foil-side soldering, optionally after pretreatment with a suitable flux. Stainless steels of the material qualities AISI 304 and AISI 316 may, for example, be treated with a solder concentrate with the trade designation " SOSOS-Nirosta " the company Stannol GmbH, www.stannol.de, are easily soldered. The electrical contacting may alternatively consist of an adhesive bond by means of an electrically conductive adhesive, for example by means of a silver-based epoxy-based adhesive. The assembly of the circuit board 11 with the laminar composites 10 and their contacting are fully automatic, with methods of the printed circuit board industry can be applied, which methods are otherwise suitable for mass production.
The circuit board 11 projects out of the housing 3 in the form of the previously mentioned tabs 8a. The two tabs 8a serve to introduce the electrical energy into the inhaler component 2. The electrical energy is supplied to the composites 10 via the conductor tracks 13. According to FIG. 7, the 11 ············································
Conductor tracks 13 are arranged both on the front side 11a and on the rear side 11b of the printed circuit board 11, the front side 11a being the component side - this is the side on which the composites 10 are contacted. Additional strip conductors can optionally also be arranged in intermediate layers. The individual interconnect layers are suitably connected to one another according to the prior art by means of so-called plated-through holes. In Fig. 7, the current flow is also shown. Accordingly, in each case three networks 10 are connected in series in the concrete example. As a result, influence can be exerted on the resulting heating resistor and thus on the heating power and evaporation rate within certain limits. It can also be provided that the individual electrical resistances of the six composites 10 are of different sizes, for example, by the thickness of the metal foil is varied accordingly. By this measure, the evaporation process similar to a cigarette can also be made dependent on the location.
On the front side 11a of the printed circuit board 11 is a substantially plate-shaped, preferably made of plastic upper part 14 is placed (see Fig. 4c and Fig. 8-10). The upper part 14 has a recess 15, which correlates with respect to their size and arrangement with the recess 12 in the printed circuit board 11. In the simplest case, the upper part 14 rests directly on the end sections 10a, 10b of the flat composites 10. In this way, the upper part 14 together with the printed circuit board 11 forms a first capillary gap section 16a, whose clear width or gap width substantially corresponds to the thickness of the flat composites 10 corresponds (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 11). The gap width is typically 0.2mm. In Fig. 4f, the areal extent of the first capillary gap portion 16a is shown as a black area. The upper part 14 is fixed on the circuit board 11 by an adhesive connection. The splices are shown in Fig. 4d as black areas. The printed circuit board 11 and the upper part 14 are preferably joined outside of the housing 3, so represent a preassembled unit.
The printed circuit board 11 supports with its rear side 11b at least in sections on a cuboid 12 containing the liquid material 17
Liquid container 18 (see Rg. 4a / 4b, Fig. 8-9 and Fig. 11). The liquid container 18 or its walls 18a are formed by the housing 3. However, the circuit board 11 does not support directly on the liquid container wall 18 a, but on spacers 19. Die
Spacers 19 are formed partly by the liquid container wall 18a and partly by other housing sections; they are shown in Fig. 4a as black areas. In this way, a second capillary gap portion 16b is formed. The rear side 11b of the circuit board 11 and the adjacent liquid container wall 18a form the boundary walls of this second capillary gap portion 16b. In Fig. 4c, the areal extent of the second capillary gap portion 16b is shown as a black area. The gap width is determined by the height of the spacers 19 and is typically 0.3mm. The printed circuit board 11 is preferably fastened to the spacers 19 by means of an adhesive connection. The filling of the liquid container 18 with the liquid material 17 takes place at the factory at the end of the production process preferably via a small hole in the container wall 18a (not shown) fully automatically by means of a cannula and a metering unit. The hole is closed after filling, for example sealed, and the whole inhaler component 2 is packaged airtight.
The liquid container 18 has at its lower end a slot-shaped supply opening 20 (see Fig. 5-6, Fig. 9-10). The second capillary gap section 16b draws all liquid material 17 via this supply opening 20. The capillary coupling takes place via an extension 21 formed by the liquid container wall 18a. Through the extension 21, a wall section of the supply opening 20 is extended outward (see FIG. 9). The forces acting on the extended wall portion adhesion forces have the consequence that a small amount of liquid material 17 emerges from the supply port 20. The effect is sufficient that the liquid material 17 also reaches the circuit board 11, which abuts with its edge 11c to the extension 21 (see Fig. 6 and Fig. 9). As soon as the liquid material 17 wets the rear side 11b of the printed circuit board 11, the second capillary gap section 16b can reach its 13 ► · ft ···· i * * ft * • · · ·
Unfold suction and absorb liquid material 17. To stiffen the extension 21 is supported via a web 22 on the housing 3.
The slot-shaped supply opening 20 has a widening approximately in the middle. The widening forms a ventilation opening 23. The ventilation opening 23 communicates with a ventilation groove 24 which is introduced into the printed circuit board 11 on the rear side of the printed circuit board 11b and in turn communicates via the recess 12 with an interior chamber which is under atmospheric pressure. The vent 23 and the vent groove 24 provide pressure equalization by immediately replacing any portion of liquid material 17 received from the second capillary gap portion 16b with an equal volume of air.
As best shown in Figures 10 and 11, the first capillary gap portion 16a and the second capillary gap portion 16b are interconnected via a third capillary gap portion 16c. The third capillary gap section 16c is formed by the circuit board edge 11c and an adjacent housing wall 3a. For the exact determination of the third capillary gap section 16c, the plate-shaped upper part 14 connected to the printed circuit board 11 adjoins the housing wall 3a and projects beyond the circuit board edge 11c by a precisely defined amount. The dimension corresponds to the gap width of the third capillary gap section 16c and is typically 0.3 mm. The circuit board 11 and the plate-shaped upper part 14, which, as already mentioned, form a preassembled unit, so must be joined accurately.
The three Kapillarspalt sections 16a, 16b, 16c together form the capillary gap 16. The capillary gap 16 thus consists of an extended, contiguous capillary gap system, which encloses the circuit board 11 partially. If the sections of the printed circuit board 11 projecting out of the housing 3, ie the tabs 8a, are disregarded, then clearly more than 50% of the printed circuit board surface boundary walls of the capillary gap 16 form in the concrete exemplary embodiment. The resulting advantageous effects regarding the buffering of the liquid material 17, and security of supply and supply capacity have already been presented earlier. A basic requirement for achieving this favorable 14
Effects is that the liquid material 17 wets well all exposed surfaces. To ensure this, the affected components - that are the liquid container 18, the circuit board 11 together with composites 10, the upper part 14 and at least parts of the housing 3 - to hydrophilize prior to assembly in a suitable process. Suitable processes are the hydrophilization in the oxygen plasma and the hydrophilization by means of plasma polymerization. Both processes, for example, by the company Diener electronic GmbH u. Co. KG, www.plasma.de, offered as part of contract work. The said company is also able to custom design and build appropriate, suitable for mass production facilities.
Before discussing the operation of the inhaler according to the invention in more detail, further components of the inhaler component 2 will be described below. Although these components may not be directly relevant to the invention, the description of them nevertheless helps to better understand the function of the inhaler component according to the invention as a whole, and to ensure the feasibility of the invention even more reliably: between the upper part 14 and the housing 3 two open-pored, absorbent sponges 25a, 25b (see Fig. 4g and Fig. 11) are arranged. The space between the sponges together with the recess 15 forms a chamber 26 (see also Fig. 8), in which the actual formation of the vapor-air mixture or / and Kondensationsaerosols takes place. The sponges 25a, 25b take in their pores formed on the vapor phase Kondensatabiagerungen and prevent that in the
Inhaler component 2 form freely moving condensate collections, which could affect the function of the inhaler component. Such condensate accumulations can also pose a problem from a hygienic point of view, in particular if they reach the oral cavity of a user via the mouthpiece 4. The sponges 25a, 25b preferably consist of a fine-pored fiber composite. Filtrona Fibertec GmbH, www.filtronafibertec.com, specializes in the production of such fiber composites using both triacetin-bound cellulose acetate fibers and thermally bonded polyolefin and polyester fibers. 15 • · «
The sponges 25a, 25b bear on angle profiles 27a, 27b formed by a U-shaped support 27 (see FIGS. 4g and 11). The carrier 27 is joined to the upper part 14 by an adhesive connection. The carrier 27 together with angle sections 27a, 27b preferably consists of a hydrophobic
Plastic. The hydrophobic material acts as a liquid barrier and ensures that no liquid material 17 can reach the sponges 25a, 25b by capillary action. In the leg 27c connecting the angle sections 27a, 27b, a recess 28 is incorporated on the side facing the top part 14, which recess forms an air nozzle 29 together with the top part 14 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The air nozzle 29 is, as will be shown in more detail later, the introduction of ambient air into the chamber 26. So that condensate deposits do not block the air nozzle 29, it is advisable to cover the Oberfäche of the upper part 14 in the air nozzle 29 with a thin hydrophobic tape (not shown).
The inhaler component 2 is supplied with ambient air to form the vapor-air mixture or / and condensation aerosol via a suction snorkel 30 formed by the housing 3 (see FIGS. 3 a / 3 b and FIG. 8). The suction snorkel 30 is arranged on the side of the inhaler component 2 opposite the mouthpiece 4. This location is most likely to protect against the entry of rainwater. In the coupled state, the suction snorkel 30 of the inhaler component 2 projects through a hole 31 formed through the main body 5 of the inhaler part 1 (see FIG. 2). In the intake snorkel 30 is a flow restrictor 32. The flow restrictor 32 has the purpose of producing a flow resistance which is similar to that of a cigarette, so that the user during a train feels a similar draw resistance as in a pull on a cigarette. Specifically, the flow resistance should be at a flow rate of 1.05 L / min in the range 8-16 mbar and have a linear characteristic as possible. The flow restrictor 32 is required if the vapor-air mixture formed and / or condensation aerosol is to be supplied as in a cigarette, namely as a train into the oral cavity (tensile volume: about 20-80mL), optionally followed by inhalation into the lungs , This mode of operation is especially recommended when the liquid material contains 17 nicotine. However, the flow restrictor 32 is eliminated if the inhaler is to permit direct pulmonary inhalation in a single step, as is the case with most medical inhalers. The flow restrictor 32 preferably consists of a cigarettes-like fiber composite, wherein the density of the material is to be matched to the aforementioned flow characteristics. The material can in turn be obtained from Filtrona Fibertec GmbH, www.fiitronafibertec.com.
In the following, the function of the inhaler will be described in detail: a user couples a new inhaler component 2 to the reusable inhaler part 1. The electrical circuit 7 registers the coupling and, if necessary, initiates certain preparatory operations, for example one or more
Evaporation cycles with the aim of providing the composites 10 with fresh liquid material 17 and / or to produce stationary conditions. Once these operations are completed, the electrical circuit 7 signals, for example via a light emitting diode, the operational readiness of the inhaler. The user applies the mouthpiece 4 of the inhaler to the mouth and operates the switch 7a. At the same time he begins to pull the mouthpiece 4. The negative pressure generated thereby causes air from the environment to flow into the intake snorkel 30. After the air has passed through the flow restrictor 32, the flow bends at right angles (see arrows in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9) and opens into a plenum chamber 33, where the air collects and then uniformly the slot-shaped air nozzle 29 is supplied. The air flow is accelerated in the air nozzle 29 and enters the chamber 26 at a high muzzle velocity.
Actuation of the switch 7a causes the circuit 7 to turn on the heating current. The heating current is preferably switched by means of power MOSFET, wherein the supplied power can be adapted by a duty cycle (duty cycle) to the respective requirements. Within certain limits, this adaptation can also be carried out by the user via an interface, which makes it possible for him to adjust to the quantity of aerosol or smoke produced.
To influence. The heating current is switched for a preset period of time ("heating period"), which is typically 1.0-1.8 seconds. The heating current is supplied to the composites 10 via the tabs 8a and the printed conductors 13 of the printed circuit board 11 and causes a flash-like heating of the composites 10 and stored in the wicks of the liquid material 17, whereupon the liquid material 17 evaporates. The vapor is emitted into the chamber 26, where it mixes with the air flowing through the air nozzle 29. The arrangement and dimensioning of the air nozzle 29 causes a uniform and rapid overflow of the composites 10. This ensures that the liberated from the composites 10 steam on all sides finds approximately the same mixing conditions, and the mixture of steam and air is intimately. The air causes a cooling of the vapor, so that in addition a condensation aerosol can ausbiiden, provided that the evaporated liquid material 17 substances with sufficiently low vapor pressure - so-called aerosol forming substances - contains. A typical example of such aerosol forming substances is glycerol.
Finally, in the exemplary embodiment, the vapor-air mixture or / and condensation aerosol formed in the chamber 26 flows through a cooler 34 before it is presented to the user via the mouthpiece 4 for inhalation (see FIGS. 4 g and 8). The cooler 34 may consist, for example, of a porous filling material, a non-woven fiber material or an open-cell foam material whose pores are flowed through by the formed vapor-air mixture or / and condensation aerosol. The cooler 34 can also be designed in multiple stages, wherein the individual cooler stages have different properties. If the material to be evaporated contains nicotine, it may be advantageous to coat the cooler material of at least one cooler stage with a suitable absorbent, for example with citric acid. The absorbent extracts from the flowing condensation aerosol highly volatile nicotine fractions, which would otherwise be deposited in the oral cavity and throat, which is neither pharmacokinetic nor organoleptically desirable. Flavoring agents such as menthol may also be added to the cooler material.

Suitable non-woven fiber materials can be obtained, for example, from Freudenberg Nonwovens KG, www.freudenberg-filter.com. The material sold under the name Viledon® filter mats and consisting of polyolefin fibers is made to customer specification, wherein the material properties can be adjusted so that the end product for the fine particles of the condensation aerosol produced is largely permeable. A suitable foam material may be obtained, for example, from Dunlop Equipment, www.dunlop-equipment.com. The cited supplier offers Ni and NiCr foam under the
Product name Retimet® (Grade 80) with a porosity of 90-95% and a pore diameter of about 300pm in sheet form up to thicknesses of 15mm. After verbal communication from company representatives, from a technological point of view, even finer-pore foams can be produced. The metal foams can also be densified by rolling. The plates can be further processed by laser cutting or wire EDM. Ni foam and in particular NiCr foam are characterized by a high strength and by a high temperature and oxidation resistance. These properties suggest recycling and reusing the comparatively expensive metal foams at the end of the useful life of the inhaler component 2. If the liquid material contains 17 nicotine, the inhaler component 2 should in principle only be given to the consumer against an adequate deposit. In this way, it is ensured that the majority of contaminated with nicotine residues cooler 34, sponges 25a, 25b and liquid container 18 disposed of environmentally friendly and optionally recycled.
At the end of the heating period, the circuit 7 deactivates the switch 7a for a few seconds. The deactivation is indicated to the user by, for example, a light emitting diode and is required to allow the composites 10 to cool and allow the wicks to re-soak with the liquid material 17. The liquid transport is effected by the capillarity of the composites 10 and their wicks. The wicks suck the liquid material 17 out of the first capillary nip via the composite end sections 10a, 10b. 19 * ft 1 1 "ft * ft ft ft ft ft 1 ft * 1 * 9 * * 4" • ft ♦ * • ft • • ft * 1 • * «• f • • ft« »V * * * * * *« * * ·
Section 16a (see Fig. 4b / 4f and Fig. 11). The wicks are thus infiltrated from two sides. The removal of liquid material 17 from the first capillary gap section 16a induces a capillary pressure in the capillary gap 16, which acts back into the liquid container 18. The capillary pressure has the consequence that liquid material 17 flows from the liquid container 18 via the slot-shaped supply opening 20 into the second capillary gap section 16b (see arrows in FIG. 4a). From there, the liquid material 17 passes through the third capillary gap section 16c into the first capillary gap section 16a, where it eventually replaces the amount of liquid withdrawn. Occur in the capillary gap system 16 at one or more locations - for whatever reason - disturbances of the capillary flow, so in most cases an alternative path to avoid the affected areas will find.
The amount of liquid material 17 removed from the liquid container 18 is replaced by an equivalent amount of air in the course of pressure equalization. The pressure equalization takes place via the ventilation groove 24 and the ventilation opening 23. As soon as the composites 10 or wicks have again been completely infiltrated with the liquid material 17, the inhaler is ready for a renewed evaporation cycle.
In an inverted position of use of the Inhalatorkomponente 2 - the mouthpiece 4 points down - the capillary coupling between the capillary gap 16 and the liquid material 17 is lost in the liquid container 18, because the always present in the liquid container 18 air cushion 35 due to the buoyancy in every position after rises above, so comes to lie in the reversed position of use in the supply port 20. An operation of the inhaler is still possible, at least for a certain number of trains or inhalations, because in the extended capillary gap system 16 sufficient liquid material 17 is buffered. Only when all Kapillarspalt sections 16a, 16b, 16c are completely empty, the wicks threaten to dry out. At the latest at this time, it is necessary to turn the inhaler component 2 back into a normal position of use, so that the capillary gap 16 can again fill up with the liquid material 17, which incidentally only takes a few seconds. 20 «* *«
Finally, by way of example, a nicotine-containing preparation of the liquid material 17 is disclosed, which was evaporated in prototypes (see Table 1). The condensation aerosol formed and administered in this case came very close to the smoke of a conventional cigarette in terms of its pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and organoleptic effects. All listed ingredients are also found in cigarette smoke.

It should be noted that the invention is of course not limited to one or more planar composites 10 according to the embodiment just described. The networks can alternatively also line or. be formed thread-shaped. The composites can also be electrically interconnected in any way. Finally, the invention also includes devices in which the liquid container 18 is arranged separable from the housing 3, so that the liquid container 18, as soon as it is empty, can be replaced by a new liquid container.
