Inductively heated aerosol delivery device consumable

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to an aerosol delivery device and a holder for use with a removable cartridge. The holder includes a main body defining a receiving chamber configured to receive the cartridge, and a resonant transmitter located proximate at least a portion of the receiving chamber. The removable cartridge includes a reservoir containing an aerosol precursor composition, a liquid transport element, and a susceptor having an active portion around which at least a second end of the liquid transport element extends, at least the active portion of the susceptor being arranged to heat the second end of the liquid transport element and thereby heat aerosol precursor composition therein to form the aerosol. Opposing ends of the susceptor circumferentially and axially position the active portion of the susceptor within the cartridge.

         11 . An inductively heated cartridge for use with a holder comprising a main body defining a receiving chamber configured to receive the cartridge, the cartridge comprising:
 a reservoir containing an aerosol precursor composition configured to form an aerosol upon application of heat thereto, and   a liquid transport element having a first end in fluid communication with the reservoir so as to transport the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir to an opposing second end of the liquid transport element; and   a susceptor having an active portion around which at least the second end of the liquid transport element extends, at least the active portion of the susceptor being arranged to heat the second end of the liquid transport element and thereby heat the aerosol precursor composition therein to form the aerosol;   wherein opposing ends of the susceptor circumferentially and axially position the active portion of the susceptor within the cartridge.   
     
     
         12 . The cartridge of  claim 11 , wherein the opposing ends of the susceptor circumferentially and axially position the active portion of the susceptor relative to the liquid transport element. 
     
     
         13 . The cartridge of  claim 11 , further comprising an outer housing that at least partially circumscribes the reservoir, the liquid transport element, and the susceptor. 
     
     
         14 . The cartridge of  claim 13 , wherein the opposing ends of the susceptor circumferentially and axially position the active portion of the susceptor with relative to the outer housing and reservoir. 
     
     
         15 . The cartridge of  claim 13 , further comprising an end cap defining end apertures and arranged to cover a distal end of the outer housing. 
     
     
         16 . The cartridge of  claim 13 , further comprising a plug arranged relative to an opposing proximal end of the outer housing so as to cover a first open end of the reservoir, the first end of the liquid transport element extending into an opposing second open end of the reservoir. 
     
     
         17 . The cartridge of  claim 11 , wherein the opposing ends of the susceptor are circumferentially turned ends with the active portion longitudinally-extending therebetween. 
     
     
         18 . The cartridge of  claim 17 , wherein the liquid transport element defines an opening through which at least a portion of the susceptor extends. 
     
     
         19 . The cartridge of  claim 17 , wherein the first end of the liquid transport element defines at least one opening extending from the first end of the liquid transport element and at least partially along a longitudinal length thereof, the first circumferentially turned end of the susceptor extending through the at least one opening such that the first end of the liquid transport element extends through the first circumferentially turned end of the susceptor. 
     
     
         20 . The cartridge of  claim 17 , wherein the second end of the liquid transport element is wrapped around the active portion of the susceptor.
