INHALER
First Claim
1. An inhalator component for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of a vapor air mixture or/and condensation aerosol, comprising:
- a housing;
a chamber arranged in the housing;
an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber;
an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein the vapor which is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening, and the vapor air mixture or/and condensation aerosol is formed;
and a wick with a capillary structure, which wick forms a composite with the heating element and automatically resupplies the heating element with the liquid material following evaporation,wherein the heating element and the wick are arranged in the same surface or/and in mutually parallel surfaces and are connected to each other, and at least one heated section of the composite is arranged in the chamber in a contact free manner, and the capillary structure of the wick in said section is substantially exposed at least on one side of the composite.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an inhaler component for producing a steam/air mixture or/and condensation aerosol in an intermittent and inhalation- or pull-synchronous manner, the inhaler component including: a housing; a chamber arranged in the housing; an air inlet opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; an electrical heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material; and a wick having a capillary structure, which wick forms a composite structure with the heating element and automatically supplies the heating element with fresh liquid material after evaporation.

24. An inhalator component for the intermittent formation, synchronous with inhalation or drawing, of a vapor-air mixture or/and condensation aerosol, comprising:
-
a housing; a chamber arranged in the housing; an air admission opening for the supply of air from the surroundings to the chamber; an electric heating element for evaporating a portion of a liquid material, wherein the vapor which is formed is mixed in the chamber with the air supplied through the air admission opening, and the vapor-air mixture or/and condensation aerosol is formed; and a wick with a capillary structure, which wick forms a composite with the heating element and automatically resupplies the heating element with the liquid material following evaporation, wherein the composite is of linear design, and at least one heated section of the composite is arranged in the chamber in a contact-free manner, and the capillary structure of the wick in said section is substantially exposed. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
