Abstract
An aerosol generation device includes: a heating chamber for generating an aerosol by heating a consumable; a consumable port configured to receive the consumable; and a loader configured to move the consumable between a first position at the consumable port and a second position at the heating chamber, wherein the loader is configured to remain within the aerosol generation device at the first position and the second position.
Claims16
An aerosol generation device comprising:
- a heating chamber for generating an aerosol by heating a consumable;
- a consumable port configured to receive the consumable;
- a loading channel disposed between the consumable port and the heating chamber;
- and
- a loader having a gripping element configured to grip the consumable, the loader being configured to move the consumable between a first position at the consumable port and a second position at the heating chamber,
- wherein the loader is configured to remain within the aerosol generation device at the first position and the second position,
- wherein the heating chamber comprises a heating element disposed outside of the loading channel and within the aerosol generation device and the second position is adjacent to the heating element,
- wherein the consumable is completely contained within the device while being actuated between the first position and the second position, and
- wherein the loader is configured to move along an airflow direction of the aerosol generation device.
