Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to connectors that may be employed in cartridges for smoking articles. The connectors may include a single-use mechanism that may include a blocking pin, a biasing mechanism, and a release mechanism. The release mechanism may hold the blocking pin in a partially retracted position in which the blocking pin is at least partially retracted from an aperture extending through threads defined by the connector. The release mechanism may include a latch that is displaced from contact with the blocking pin by a release pin upon engagement of the connector with a mating connector. The biasing mechanism may force the blocking pin against an end of the mating connector such that when the mating connector is unscrewed from the connector, the blocking pin extends through the aperture and blocks at least one recess defined between the threads such that the connector may not be reused.

Claim (Index 26):
The smoking article of  claim 24 , wherein the single-use connector comprises a single-use mechanism that includes a blocking pin, a biasing mechanism, and a release mechanism to remove the cartridge body from the control body after the aerosol precursor composition contained in the reservoir is expended.
