Abstract:
An aerosol generating article ( 10 ) comprises an aerosol generating substrate ( 12 ), a mouthpiece ( 14 ) in axial alignment with the aerosol generating substrate ( 12 ), and a tipping wrapper ( 20 ). The tipping wrapper ( 20 ) comprises a first weakening line ( 22 ) extending circumferentially around at least a portion of the tipping wrapper; a removable tipping wrapper portion ( 26 ) extending downstream from the at least one weakening line ( 22 ); an upstream tipping wrapper portion ( 24 ) extending upstream from the first weakening line; and a longitudinal edge ( 28 ) extending along the outer surface of the mouthpiece. The longitudinal edge ( 28 ) comprises a tipping wrapper projection ( 32 ) downstream of the at least one weakening line ( 22 ) and a first straight line portion ( 30 ) extending upstream of the tipping wrapper projection ( 32 ), wherein the tipping wrapper projection ( 32 ) comprises a first curved transition portion ( 38 ) connecting the first straight line portion ( 30 ) to the remainder of the tipping wrapper projection and wherein the first curved transition portion ( 30 ) follows a convex curve.

Claim (Index 1):
An aerosol generating article comprising:\n an aerosol generating substrate; a mouthpiece in axial alignment with the aerosol generating substrate; a tipping wrapper wrapped around the mouthpiece and at least a portion of the aerosol generating substrate, the tipping wrapper comprising:\n a first weakening line extending circumferentially around at least a portion of the tipping wrapper; \n a removable tipping wrapper portion extending downstream from the at least one weakening line; \n an upstream tipping wrapper portion extending upstream from the first weakening line, wherein the upstream tipping wrapper portion is attached to a downstream portion of the aerosol generating substrate and an upstream portion of the mouthpiece; and \n a longitudinal edge extending along the outer surface of the mouthpiece, the longitudinal edge comprising a tipping wrapper projection downstream of the first weakening line on the removable tipping wrapper portion and a first straight line portion extending upstream from the tipping wrapper projection, wherein the tipping wrapper projection comprises a first curved transition portion connecting the first straight line portion of the longitudinal edge to the remainder of the tipping wrapper projection and wherein the first curved transition portion follows a convex curve.
