In one aspect a support member is provided. The support member is for forming an inductor coil of an aerosol provision device, and defines an axis about which a multistrand wire of the inductor coil is windable. An outer surface of the support member comprises a channel to receive the wire. In another aspect there is provided a method of forming an inductor coil for an aerosol provision device. The method comprises providing a multi-strand wire comprising a plurality of wire strands, wherein at least one of the plurality of wire strands comprises a bondable coating; winding the multi-strand wire around a support member defining an axis; activating the bondable coating such that the multi-strand wire substantially retains a shape determined by the support member; reducing a cross-sectional width of the support member in a direction perpendicular to the axis; and removing the multistrand wire from the support member.
A method of forming an inductor coil for an aerosol provision device, the method comprising:
A method according to any preceding claim, wherein the activating the bondable coating comprises heating the support member such that the bondable coating is heated.
A method according to any preceding claim, comprising rotating the support member about an axis of the support member, thereby causing the winding of the multi-strand wire around the support member.
A support member for use in forming an inductor coil of an aerosol provision device, the support member defining an axis about which a multi-strand wire of the inductor coil is windable, wherein an outer surface of the support member comprises a channel to receive the multi-strand wire.
An inductor coil for an aerosol provision device, wherein the inductor coil defines an axis and comprises a multi-strand wire that is wound around the axis, and wherein the multi-strand wire has a cross section with a greatest lateral dimension that is greater than a greatest longitudinal dimension, wherein the greatest lateral dimension is measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and the greatest longitudinal dimension is measured in a direction perpendicular to the greatest lateral dimension.
A support member for use in forming an inductor coil of an aerosol provision device, the support member defining an axis about which a wire of the inductor coil is windable, wherein the support member is moveable between a first configuration, in which the wire is windable around the support member, and a second configuration, in which a cross sectional width of the support member perpendicular to the axis is smaller than when the support member is in the first configuration thereby to facilitate removal of the wire from the support member.
