First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, the cartridge comprising:
- a reservoir substrate configured to hold an aerosol precursor composition;
an atomizer configured to atomize the aerosol precursor; and
a base extending between a body end oriented toward the reservoir substrate and the atomizer and a connector end configured to releasably engage a control body, the base comprising an anti-rotation mechanism at the connector end configured to prevent rotation of the cartridge relative to the control body when engaged therewith.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices including a cartridge and a control body. The control body may include a coupler and the cartridge may include a base. The base may be configured to releasably engage the cartridge. Further the base and the coupler may include anti-rotation mechanisms configured to prevent rotation of the cartridge relative to the base when engaged with one another. The anti-rotation mechanisms may include alternating protrusions and recesses in some embodiments. Related methods are also provided.
