Heater for an aerosol delivery device and methods of formation thereof
First Claim
1. An aerosol delivery device comprising a heating member formed of a heating element conformed to a heater substrate configured as a truncated cone having a first end of a first size and a second end of greater size;
- and a porous transport element configured for passage of an aerosol precursor composition along a length thereof, wherein the porous transport element has a first end in a heating arrangement with the heating member wherein the truncated cone includes an interior passage therethrough, and wherein the first end of the porous transport element in the heating arrangement with the heating member is positioned at least partially within the interior passage of the truncated cone.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices, methods of forming such devices, and elements of such devices. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a heating member that can be formed of a heating element conformed to a heater substrate configured as a truncated cone (or similar shape) having a first end of a first size and a second end of greater size. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of forming an aerosol delivery device, which can include providing a shell, providing a heating member formed of a heating element conformed to a substrate, configuring the heating member as a truncated cone (or similar shape) having a first end of a first size and a second end of greater size, and inserting the heating member within the shell.

16. An aerosol delivery device comprising:
-
a shell having an air inlet and a mouthpiece configured for exit of a formed aerosol; a heating member positioned within the shell and being formed of a heating element conformed to a heater substrate configured as a frustum with an interior passage therethrough and having a first end of a first size and a second end of greater size; a porous transport element configured for passage of an aerosol precursor composition along a length thereof, the porous transport element having a first end in a heating arrangement with the heating member;
wherein the first end of the porous transport element in the heating arrangement with the heating member is positioned at least partially within the interior passage of the frustrum; andan airflow path through the shell from the air inlet to the mouthpiece past the first end of the frustum and then past the second, greater sized end of the frustum.
