Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022175199A2] There is provided an aerosol-generating device (10) comprising a first housing portion (12) defining a cavity (16) for receiving an aerosol-generating article (50; 150; 250) and a second housing portion (14) extending from the first housing portion (12). The second housing portion (14) is movable relative to the first housing portion (12). An electric heater (26) is positioned within the first housing portion (12) and at least one of a power supply (30) and a controller (28) is positioned within the second housing portion (14). Also provided is an aerosol-generating article (50; 150) comprising a first mouthpiece element (52) positioned at a first end (54) of the aerosol-generating article (50; 150) and a second mouthpiece element (56) positioned at a second end (58) of the aerosol-generating article (50; 150). The aerosol-generating article (50; 150) also comprises at least one aerosol-forming substrate (60; 160, 161) positioned between the first mouthpiece element (52) and the second mouthpiece element (56). First and second susceptor elements (66, 68) are positioned within the at least one aerosol-forming substrate (60; 160, 161) and spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the aerosol-generating article (50; 150). Also provided is an aerosol-generating article (50; 150) comprising at least one aerosol-forming substrate (60; 160, 161), at least one mouthpiece element (52, 56), and a wrapper (72) wrapped around the at least one aerosol-forming substrate (60; 160, 161) and the at least one mouthpiece element (52, 56). The aerosol-generating article (50; 150) also comprises a plurality of indicia (74, 76, 78) on an outer surface of the wrapper (72). The aerosol-generating article (50; 150) comprises a first end (54), a second end (58), and a longitudinal direction (70) extending between the first end (54) and the second end (58). The plurality of indicia (74, 76, 78) are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction (70).
