Abstract

This non-combustion-heated stick 1 comprises: a tobacco section 10 that has an aerosol source 11 containing tobacco; a cooling section 20 that cools vapor, generated by heating the tobacco section 10 by means of a heat generating element, to produce an aerosol; and a filter section 30 through which the aerosol passes. The tobacco section 10 has a higher filling density of tobacco in a part closer to the heat generating element than in a part further away therefrom.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A non-combustion heating-type stick comprising:
 a tobacco section that has an aerosol source containing tobacco;   a cooling section that cools steam generated by heating the tobacco section with a heat generating element to generate an aerosol; and   a filter section through which the aerosol passes,   wherein, in the tobacco section, a packing density of the tobacco in a portion near the heat generating element is higher than the packing density in a portion far from the heat generating element.   
     
     
         2 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tobacco section is externally heated with the heat generating element disposed outside the tobacco section, and the packing density in an outer portion is higher than the packing density in an inner portion.   
     
     
         3 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the tobacco section includes: a packed section packed with tobacco; and a tobacco sheet formed by using granules of ground tobacco leaves and wrapped around the packed section.   
     
     
         4 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the tobacco sheet is at least one of a cast sheet, a laminate sheet, and a papermaking sheet.   
     
     
         5 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the tobacco sheet includes at least one of a cast sheet, a laminate sheet, and a papermaking sheet.   
     
     
         6 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tobacco section is internally heated with the heat generating element disposed inside the tobacco section, and the packing density in an inner portion is higher than the packing density in an outer portion.   
     
     
         7 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the tobacco section further includes, as the heat generating element, a susceptor that produces heat through electromagnetic induction,   wherein, in the tobacco section, the packing density around the susceptor is higher than the packing density in an outer circumferential portion.   
     
     
         8 . A non-combustion heating-type stick comprising:
 a tobacco section that has an aerosol source containing tobacco;   a cooling section that cools steam generated by heating the tobacco section with a heat generating element to generate an aerosol; and   a filter section through which the aerosol passes,   wherein, in the tobacco section, a tobacco sheet formed by using granules of ground tobacco leaves is disposed near the heat generating element, and a packed section packed with tobacco is disposed at a position farther from the heat generating element than the tobacco sheet.   
     
     
         9 . The non-combustion heating-type stick according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the tobacco section is externally heated with the heat generating element disposed outside the tobacco section, and the tobacco sheet is wrapped around an outer circumference of the packed section.
