Aerosol-generating article with tubular element having an opening

Abstract

An aerosol-generating article comprising a plurality of elements assembled in the form of a rod (11). The elements comprise a first element (100,11) comprising an aerosol-generating substrate, and a tubular element (100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 700, 800) positioned upstream or downstream of the first element (100,11). The tubular element (100, 200, 300, 500, 600,700,800) comprises: a tubular body (103,203) defining a cavity (106, 206, 606) extending from a first end (101) of the tubular body (103,203) to a second end (102) of the tubular body (103, 203); and a folded end portion forming a first end wall (104, 105, 204A, 604,804) at the first end (101) of the tubular body (103,203). The first end wall (104, 105, 204A, 604, 804) delimiting an opening ( 105, 205A, 205B, 605B, 605) for airflow between the cavity (106, 206, 606) and the exterior of the tubular element (100,200,300,500,600).
