Abstract: Title: MOULDED MOUNTING FOR AN AEROSOL-GENERATING ELEMENT IN AN AEROSOL-GENERATING SYSTEM 110 (57) : A cartridge (100) for an aerosol-generating system, the cartridge comprising an air inlet (150), and air outlet (110) and an airflow path (140,145) from the air inlet to the air outlet, an atomiser assembly (120) comprising a fluid permeable aerosol-generating element and two electrical contact portions connected to the aerosol-generating element, the atomiser assembly having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein a first side of the aerosol-generating element is exposed to the airflow path and a second side of the aerosol-generating element is in contact with 105 a liquid aerosol-forming substrate in the cartridge and an atomiser mount (134) moulded around the atomiser assembly, the atomiser mount covering a portion of the first side of the atomiser assembly to isolate the electrical contact portions from the airflow path and covering at least a portion of the 139 second side of the atomiser assembly to isolate the electrical contact portions from the liquid aerosol- forming substrate. A cartridge constructed in this way provides for a simple an inexpensive way to 131 45 secure a fluid permeable atomiser assembly, such as heater assembly, while protecting the electrical contacts from liquid and vapour within the cartridge. -100 130 137 140 150--.- 121 134 136 00 O C 35 8 FIG. 2B 120 121 (12) INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION PUBLISHED UNDER THE PATENT COOPERATION TREATY (PCT) (19) World Intellectual Property Organization International Bureau (43) International Publication Date 30 August 2018 (30.08.2018) WIP0 I PCT il l 1E1 o 1 o llmonolom OH 101101110111011100iflomo (10) International Publication Number WO 2018/153732 Al (51) International Patent Classification: A24F 47/00 (2006.01) (21) International Application Number: PCT/EP2018/053579 (22) International Filing Date: 13 February 2018 (13.02.2018) (25) Filing Language: English (26) Publication Language: English (30) Priority Data: 17157957.6 24 February 2017 (24.02.2017) EP (71) Applicant: PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS S.A.
