Heated aroma-producing body, aroma cartridge, and manufacturing method and manufacturing device for heated aroma-producing body

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an aroma-producing body to be heated and an aromatic cartridge equipped therewith, as well as a manufacturing method and a manufacturing device for the heated aromatic producing body. The aroma-producing body to be heated includes a noodle-shaped bodies aroma-producing substrate to be heated and a packaging material winding up the aroma-producing substrate to be heated. The aroma-producing body to be heated has a deformed gas flow path formed by the aggregation of the aroma-producing substrate to be heated. A deformed gas flow path between aroma-producing substrates which is generated between the aggregates and the other aggregates due to a shift of a long-axis direction between the aroma-producing substrates adjacent each other in any aggregates of the plurality of aggregates; or a misdirected aroma-producing substrates between aggregates which is generated between the aggregates and the other aggregates due to a misdirection of the long-axis direction.

1 . An aroma-producing body to be heated loaded into an aroma cartridge, and providing a deformed gas flow path penetrating the aroma-producing body in a longitudinal direction of the aroma-producing body between aroma-producing substrate in which noodle-shaped bodies aroma-producing substrate are bundled and generated between the aroma-producing substrates as a passage for volatiles,
 wherein, when the direction which coincides with a longitudinal direction, a direction of a long-axis in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and a direction of a short-axis in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, of the aroma cartridge of the aroma-producing substrate, is a longitudinal direction, a long-axis direction, and a short-axis direction; each dimension of the longitudinal direction, the long-axis direction, and the short-axis direction, of the aroma-producing substrate, is a longitudinal dimension, a long-axis dimension, and a short-axis dimension; and a side whose each dimension is the longitudinal dimension and the long-axis dimension, the longitudinal dimension and the short-axis dimension, and, the long-axis dimension and the short-axis dimension, is a long side, a short side, and an end side,   a group of aroma-producing substrates connected plurally by adjoining the long sides is a aggregates, and the aroma-producing substrate assembly has a plurality of aggregates which are distinguished from each other due to the difference of long-axis directions from adjacent other aggregates, and   the deformed gas flow path between aroma-producing substrates has:
 a shifted deformed gas flow path between aroma-producing substrates which is generated between the aggregates and the other aggregates due to a shift of a long-axis direction between the aroma-producing substrates adjacent each other in any aggregates of the plurality of aggregates; or 
 a misdirected aroma-producing substrates between aggregates which is generated between the aggregates and the other aggregates due to a misdirection of the long-axis direction. 
   
     
     
         2 . The aroma-producing substrate assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral portion of a bundle of the aroma-producing substrate is wound with a sheet-shaped package and the package has an outer diameter of 6.5 to 7.5 mm. 
     
     
         3 . The aroma-producing substrate assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the aroma-producing substrate has a long-axis dimension of 11 to 13 mm. 
     
     
         4 . An aroma cartridge comprising:
 the aroma-producing substrate assembly according to  claim 1 ;   a hollow cylindrical support member; and   a filter, wherein   the aroma-producing body to be heated and the hollow cylindrical support member and the filter are connected in the longitudinal direction.   
     
     
         5 . The aroma cartridge according to  claim 4 , wherein the longitudinal direction has a length of 40 to 49 mm.
