Cartridge for an aerosol delivery device and method for assembling a cartridge for a smoking article
First Claim
1. A cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, the cartridge comprising:
- a base defining a connector end configured to engage a control body;
a reservoir substrate configured to hold an aerosol precursor composition, the reservoir substrate defining a cavity extending therethrough from a first reservoir end to a second reservoir end, wherein the first reservoir end is positioned proximate the base; and
an atomizer comprising a liquid transport element extending between a first liquid transport element end and a second liquid transport element end and a heating element extending at least partially about the liquid transport element at a position between the first liquid transport element end and the second liquid transport element end, the atomizer extending through the cavity of the reservoir substrate such that the heating element is positioned past the second reservoir end and the first liquid transport element end and the second liquid transport element end are positioned proximate the first reservoir end.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device such as a smoking article. The cartridge may include a base, a reservoir substrate, and an atomizer. The reservoir substrate may define a cavity therethrough. The atomizer may comprise a liquid transport element and a heating element extending at least partially about the liquid transport element. The atomizer may extend through the cavity through the reservoir substrate such that the heating element is positioned proximate an end of the reservoir substrate. Ends of the liquid transport element may extend to an opposing end of the reservoir substrate. A related method for assembling a cartridge for a smoking article is also provided.

12. A method for assembling a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, the method comprising:
-
providing a base defining a connector end configured to engage a control body, an atomizer, and a reservoir substrate configured to hold an aerosol precursor composition and defining a cavity extending therethrough from a first reservoir end to a second reservoir end; connecting the atomizer to the base; inserting the atomizer through the cavity through the reservoir substrate; and positioning the atomizer such that a heating element thereof is past the second reservoir end;
wherein the first reservoir end is positioned proximate the base. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
