Mouthpiece for aerosol delivery device

An aerosol delivery device consumable comprising:

• at a first end of the aerosol delivery device consumable, a mouthpiece portion configured for insertion into the mouth of a user for delivery of aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device consumable, the mouthpiece portion having a top surface;
• and
• at a second end of the aerosol delivery device consumable, opposite the first end, a connecting portion configured to be attached to a control unit thereby forming an aerosol delivery device;
• wherein the top surface of the mouthpiece portion of the aerosol delivery device consumable comprises a pair of crescent-shaped openings arranged on opposite sides of an aerosol cap, each crescent-shaped opening comprising an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein the aerosol cap has a closed end, and wherein the pair of crescent-shaped openings and the aerosol cap are configured such that, upon a draw on the mouthpiece portion by the user, a first portion of the aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device consumable is trapped by the aerosol cap and a second portion of the aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device consumable travels through the pair of crescent-shaped openings, and wherein the respective inner edges of the pair of crescent-shaped openings are defined by the aerosol cap,
• wherein the pair of crescent shaped openings are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the aerosol cap, and wherein a radius of the inner edges is greater than a radius of the outer edges, and the inner and outer edges are joined by rounded ends.

A mouthpiece for an aerosol delivery device configured to generate an aerosol, the mouthpiece comprising:

• a first end configured for insertion into the mouth of a user for delivery of aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device, the first end having a top surface,
• wherein the top surface of the first end of the mouthpiece comprises a pair of openings arranged on opposite sides of an aerosol cap, each opening comprising an inner edge,
• wherein the aerosol cap has a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end, the open end of the aerosol cap positioned within an interior of the mouthpiece and facing away from the first end of the mouthpiece, the open end having a plug therein, and
• wherein the pair of openings and the aerosol cap are configured such that upon a draw on the mouthpiece by the user, a first portion of the aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device is trapped by the plug of the aerosol cap and a second portion of the aerosol generated by the aerosol delivery device travels through the pair of openings, and wherein the respective inner edges of the pair of openings are defined by the aerosol cap,
• wherein the pair of crescent shaped openings are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the aerosol cap, and wherein a radius of the inner edges is greater than a radius of the outer edges, and the inner and outer edges are joined by rounded ends.
