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 38):
The smoking article of  claim 23 , wherein the connector defined by the cartridge body and the mating connector are configured for a threaded engagement, wherein the connector comprises a male threaded connector defining an open central passage and the mating connector of the control body comprises a female threaded mating connector, and wherein the control body comprises an air intake adjacent the female threaded mating connector, such that upon threaded engagement of the male threaded connector and the female threaded mating connector, air is configured to flow from the air intake into the cartridge body through the open central passage and into the air passage tube.
