Aerosol delivery device providing flavor control
First Claim
1. An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
- a control body;
a cartridge, comprising;
a reservoir tank configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition;
a masking disc proximate the aerosol precursor composition, the masking disc including an opening configured to the permit aerosol precursor composition to pass therethrough; and
a flavor disc proximate the masking disc, the flavor disc including two or more separate sections, wherein at least two of the sections are configured to permit the aerosol precursor composition to pass therethrough, and at least one of the sections comprises a flavor section that contains a flavorant; and
an atomizer configured to receive the aerosol precursor composition and produce an aerosol,wherein at least one of the masking disc or the flavor disc is configured to be rotated relative to the other to align the opening of the masking disc with a selected section of the flavor disc so as to allow the aerosol precursor composition to flow from the reservoir tank through the opening of the masking disc and the selected section of the flavor disc to the atomizer such that, when the flavor section is selected, the flavorant is imparted to the aerosol precursor composition delivered to the atomizer.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, an aerosol delivery device that includes the cartridge, and an aerosol device operation method. In various implementations the cartridge comprises a reservoir tank configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, a masking disc proximate the aerosol precursor composition, and a flavor disc proximate the masking disc. At least one of the masking disc or the flavor disc is configured to be rotated relative to the other to align an opening of the masking disc with a selected section of the flavor disc so as to allow the aerosol precursor composition to flow from the reservoir tank through the opening of the masking disc and the selected section of the flavor disc, such that, when the flavor section is selected, the flavorant is imparted to the aerosol precursor composition.

11. A cartridge for use in an aerosol delivery device, comprising:
-
a reservoir tank configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition; a masking disc proximate the aerosol precursor composition, the masking disc including an opening configured to the permit aerosol precursor composition to pass therethrough; and a flavor disc proximate the masking disc, the flavor disc including two or more separate sections, wherein at least two of the sections are configured to permit the aerosol precursor composition to pass therethrough, and at least one of the sections comprises a flavor section that contains a flavorant, and wherein at least one of the masking disc or the flavor disc is configured to be rotated relative to the other to align the opening of the masking disc with a selected section of the flavor disc so as to allow the aerosol precursor composition to flow from the reservoir tank through the opening of the masking disc and the selected section of the flavor disc, such that, when the flavor section is selected, a flavor from the flavorant is imparted to the aerosol precursor composition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
