Aerosol delivery device including a moveable cartridge and related assembly method

An aerosol delivery device comprising:

• a housing;
• a mouthpiece arranged to receive and direct an aerosol therethrough, the aerosol being formed from an aerosol precursor composition heated by an atomizer, the mouthpiece being further arranged to be extendable from and retractable into the housing;
• an actuator moveably arranged in relation to the housing and being operably engaged with at least the mouthpiece, such that the mouthpiece is extended from or retracted into the housing in response to movement of the actuator in relation to the housing;
• a flow sensor mounted in a stationary disposition within the housing and arranged to measure a change in air pressure within the mouthpiece resulting from a draw on the mouthpiece;
• and
• a tube in fluid communication between the mouthpiece and the flow sensor, and arranged to transmit the change in the air pressure to the flow sensor;
• wherein the aerosol precursor composition, the atomizer, and the mouthpiece are arranged in a cartridge, and wherein the actuator is operably engaged with at least the mouthpiece by way of the cartridge, the cartridge thereby being extended from or retracted into the housing in response to movement of the actuator in relation to the housing.
