Abstract[English]
The present application relates to a method for inhaling water steam, mixed with volatile substances, by capturing the steam in immediate proximity of the hot free surface of a water-based liquid. All this by means of a handheld mouth inhaler with oblong shape and compact size, kept horizontally or slightly inclined by using it, allowing holding and handling similar to a cigar or to an electronic smoking device. The elongated shape of the inhaler allows the user, by minimally displacing the other end of the inhaler, to find the optimal inclination for best inhalation experience, in dependence of the nature of the substance immersed in hot water and releasing said volatile substances, but also from the applied inhalation effort. During inhalation no energy supply is needed, thanks to high thermal insulation quality of the body of the inhaler. The inhalation is performed for health, well-being or pleasure purposes.[French]
La présente demande concerne un procédé d'inhalation de vapeur d'eau mélangée à des substances volatiles, consistant à recueillir la vapeur à proximité immédiate de la surface libre chaude d'un liquide à base d'eau. Tout cela grâce à un inhalateur buccal portable de forme oblongue et de taille compacte, que l'on tient à l'horizontale ou légèrement incliné lors de son utilisation, ce qui permet de le tenir et de le manipuler comme un cigare ou une cigarette électronique. La forme allongée de l'inhalateur permet à l'utilisateur, en déplaçant légèrement l'autre extrémité de l'appareil, de trouver l'inclinaison optimale pour une expérience d'inhalation optimale, en fonction de la nature de la substance immergée dans l'eau chaude qui libère lesdites substances volatiles, mais aussi de l'effort d'inhalation fourni. Lors de l'inhalation, aucun apport d'énergie n'est nécessaire, grâce à l'excellente isolation thermique du corps de l'inhalateur. L'inhalation est réalisée à des fins de santé, de bien-être ou de plaisir.
