AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE, AND METHOD OF SELECTING A CONSUMABLE USING THE AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An aerosol-generating device, comprising:
- a device housing;
a mouthpiece on an end of the device housing;
a first receiving chamber defined within the device housing, the first receiving chamber configured to receive and accommodate a first consumable;
a second receiving chamber defined within the device housing, the second receiving chamber configured to receive and accommodate a second consumable;
a selection member arrangeable in a first position and a second position,wherein in the first position the selection member establishes a first airflow passageway that traverses through the first receiving chamber while circumventing the second receiving chamber, and in the second position the selection member establishes a second airflow passageway that traverses through the second receiving chamber while circumventing the first receiving chamber.

Abstract
The aerosol-generating device includes a housing, a mouthpiece on an end of the housing, a first and second receiving chamber defined within the housing, where the first and second receiving chambers receive and accommodate a first and second consumable. A selection member is arrangeable in a first position and a second position, where the first position establishes a first airflow passageway that traverses through the first receiving chamber while circumventing the second receiving chamber, and the second position establishes a second airflow passageway that traverses through the second receiving chamber while circumventing the first receiving chamber. The method includes providing at least two consumables in a housing, establishing an airflow through a selected one of the at least two consumables while circumventing the airflow from passing through a non-selected one of the at least two consumables, and guiding the airflow to an outlet opening of a mouthpiece.
