Aerosol guiding device and aerosol generating system comprising said aerosol guiding device
First Claim
1. An aerosol generating system, the system comprising:
- aerosol generating means;
aerosol delivery means; and
an aerosol guiding device,wherein the aerosol guiding device comprises a chamber having an air inlet, an air outlet, an upstream portion that tapers inwardly from the air inlet, and a downstream portion that tapers inwardly from the air outlet, the aerosol delivery means being configured such that aerosol is introduced from the aerosol generating means into the chamber in use, andwherein an airflow route is defined from the air inlet to the air outlet, and the relative dimensions of the air inlet and the air outlet are selected to provide pressure control means for controlling the pressure differential between the air inlet and the air outlet.

Abstract
An aerosol generating system may include aerosol generating means, aerosol delivery means, and an aerosol guiding device. The aerosol guiding device may include a chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet, and the aerosol delivery means may be configured such that aerosol is introduced from the aerosol generating means into the chamber in use. An airflow route may be defined from the air inlet to the air outlet so as to convey the aerosol to the air outlet, and the relative dimensions of the air inlet and the air outlet may be selected to provide pressure control means for controlling the pressure differential between the air inlet and the air outlet. An aerosol guiding device for use in an aerosol generating system may include a chamber having an air inlet and an air outlet.
