Abstract
An apparatus arranged to heat aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material. The apparatus includes a conductive coil defining an elongate receiving portion arranged to receive a consumable article including aerosolizable material. The conductive coil has a first end and a second end opposite the opposite the first end. The apparatus also includes a clamping structure including a first engagement portion arranged to apply a first force to the first end and a second engagement portion arranged to apply a second force, opposing the first force, to the second end, thereby providing a tension in the conductive coil.
Claims36
An apparatus arranged to heat aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material, the apparatus comprising:
- a conductive coil defining an elongate receiving portion arranged to receive a consumable article comprising aerosolizable material, the conductive coil comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- and
- a clamping structure comprising a first engagement portion arranged to apply a first force to the first end and a second engagement portion arranged to apply a second force, opposing the first force, to the second end, thereby providing a tension in the conductive coil.
An apparatus as claimed in 32, wherein the clamping structure comprises an indention arranged to provide access to the channel.
A method of manufacturing an apparatus arranged to heat aerosolizable material, the method comprising:
- forming a conductive coil around an elongate receiving portion arranged to receive a consumable article comprising aerosolizable material, the conductive coil comprising a first end and a second end opposite the opposite the first end;
- and
- applying a clamping structure to the conductive coil, the clamping structure comprising a first engagement portion arranged to apply a first force to the first end and a second engagement portion arranged to apply a second force, opposing the first force, to the second end, to provide a tension in the conductive coil.
