  • Patent number: 12610983
    Abstract: A cartridge for a stick-shaped aerosol-generating article is provided, the article being for an inductively heating aerosol-generating device, the cartridge including: a vaporization chamber at a distal end portion of the cartridge; a reservoir chamber proximal the vaporization chamber; a liquid-conveying susceptor arrangement to convey the liquid from the reservoir chamber into the vaporization chamber and to be inductively heated with the device to vaporize the liquid; a vapor-conveying conduit providing fluid communication for vaporized liquid to a region proximal the reservoir chamber, a proximal end portion of the conduit passing through, ending integrally in, or supported in a through hole of a proximal end wall of the reservoir chamber; a distal end cap forming a distal wall of the vaporization chamber; a proximal end cap forming the proximal end wall; and a cartridge sleeve forming a circumferential outer side wall of the vaporization chamber and of the reservoir chamber.

  • Patent number: 12543786
    Abstract: A cartridge for a stick-shaped aerosol-generating article is provided, the article being for an inductively heating aerosol-generating device, the cartridge including: a vaporization chamber at a distal end portion of the cartridge to vaporize aerosol-forming liquid; a reservoir chamber proximal the vaporization chamber to store the liquid; a liquid-conveying susceptor arrangement to convey the liquid from the reservoir chamber into the vaporization chamber and to be inductively heated with the device in order to vaporize the liquid within the vaporization chamber; a vapor-conveying conduit providing a fluid communication for vaporized liquid from the vaporization chamber to a region proximal the reservoir chamber; a septum forming a common wall of the vaporization chamber and the reservoir chamber, the septum including a filling hole for filling the liquid into the reservoir chamber via the vaporization chamber; and a plug-shaped distal end cap forming a distal end wall of the vaporization chamber.
