Abstract

A non-combustion-heating-type stick is provided with: a base material section including an aerosol source; a cooling unit for generating aerosol by cooling steam generated by heating the aerosol source; and, a filter section. The filter section has: a first filter disposed on the cooling unit side; a second filter disposed on the side opposite from the cooling unit with respect to the first filter; and, a powder-containing substance that is disposed in a cavity formed between the first filter and the second filter, is a mass of a raw material powder containing at least one of a taste component and a perfume component, and becomes a powder when an external force is applied. The second filter is formed with a powder supply path for supplying powder from the cavity 33 to a suction port end.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A non-combustion-heating-type stick comprising:
 a substrate including an aerosol source;   a cooling section for cooling vapor generated by heating the substrate to thereby generate an aerosol; and   a filter section,   wherein the filter section includes a first filter disposed on a cooling section side, a second filter disposed on an opposite side from the cooling section with respect to the first filter, and at least one powder-containing article that is disposed in a cavity formed between the first filter and the second filter, that is a lump of raw material powder containing at least one of a taste component and a flavor component, and that crumbles into powder when an external force is applied, and wherein a powder supply passage for supplying the powder from the cavity to a mouthpiece end is formed in the second filter.   
     
     
         2 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein the cooling section has a perforation that allows air to flow from an outside of the cooling section to an inside of the cooling section. 
     
     
         3 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one powder-containing article has a size of 1 mm or more and 8 mm or less. 
     
     
         4 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein, when the number of the at least one powder-containing article disposed in the cavity is one, the at least one powder-containing article has a size of 3 mm or more and smaller than an inside diameter of the cavity. 
     
     
         5 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein, when the number of the at least one powder-containing article disposed in the cavity is at least two, the at least one powder-containing article has a size of 1 mm or more and smaller than an inside diameter of the cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein a fracture strength at which the at least one powder-containing article crumbles into the powder is 5 N or more and 60 N or less. 
     
     
         7 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein, in the at least one powder-containing article, the ratio of particles of the raw material powder having a particle diameter of 10 μm or more and 600 μm or less to the total mass of the at least one powder-containing article is 50% by mass or more. 
     
     
         8 . The non-combustion-heating-type stick according to  claim 1 , wherein, in a transverse cross section of the second filter, the powder supply passage includes a central portion located on a center side of the second filter and a plurality of peripheral portions extending from the central portion toward an outer circumferential side in mutually different directions.
