Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for cleaning an electrical lighter are provided. A sleeve, e.g., ceramic or metal, surrounds the heater fixture, and a resistive heating element is in thermal proximity with the sleeve. The resistive heating element is either a dedicated element or the cigarette heating elements. The sleeve serves as a aerosol barrier and condensate accumulator to protect other components. Periodically, e.g., substantially contemporaneously with a battery recharge, the heating element is activated to thermally liberate condensates deposited on the sleeve during smoking and also heats, and thereby cleans, other components. Also, a cleaning element is optionally inserted into the cigarette receptacle of the electrical lighter or placed at the exit thereof to absorb, attract and/or catalytically break down the thermally liberated condensates. The sleeve also directs a desired flow path for drawn air within an electrical lighter toward the cigarette.

Abstract: An article is provided in which a replaceable flavor generating medium is electrically heated by a set of permanent reusable heaters to evolve inhalable flavors or other components in vapor or aerosol form. Each heater heats only a portion of the available flavor generating medium so that a plurality of individual puffs of flavor-containing substance can be delivered sequentially to the consumer.

Abstract: A cigarette (23) comprises a tobacco rod having filled and unfilled portions arranged so that electrical heater elements (31) may overlap both portions. The rod includes a tubular tobacco web. The web is constructed by converting tobacco feedstock into a continuous sheet of tobacco web and converting the continuous sheet of tobacco web into one or ore bobbins of tobacco web suitable for automated manufacture of cigarettes. A heater (25) comprises a supporting hub and electrically resistive heater blades (37) defining a receptacle (27) for an inserted cigarette (23). Each blade comprises first and second heater blade legs each having a first end and a second end, and a connecting section connecting the second end of the first leg and the first end of the second leg. The blades (37) are heated by a resistive heating circuit and heat the inserted cigarette (23). The legs are separated by a gap to permit entrainment of flavour substances upon drawing.

Each heater heats only a portion of the available flavor generating medium so that a plurality of individual puffs of flavour-containing substance can be delivered sequentially to the consumer. The flavor generating medium is a compressible foam which abuts heater elements mounted in a cavity (30) in the article and cleans the elements on insertion.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for releasing flavor components from a flavor-generating medium using an electric heating element are provided. A non-combustion flavor-generating article (10) uses electrical energy to power a heating element (14) which heats tobacco or other flavorants (12) in a flavor generating medium. The flavor-generating medium is formed into a packed bed. Energy delivered to the heating element is regulated to maintain the flavor- generating medium at a relatively constant operating temperature to ensure a relatively constant release of flavor and to ensure that release of flavor components is due to heating, rather than burning of the flavor generating medium.

A noncombustion flavor-generating article uses electrical energy to power a heating element which heats tobacco or other flavorants. The flavor-generating medium is formed into a packed bed. Energy delivered to the heating element is regulated to maintain the flavorgenerating medium at a relatively constant operating temperature to ensure a relatively constant release of flavor.
