The present disclosure relates to an article (1) for use in an aerosol provision system (200). The article (1) comprises an aerosol generating material (3), a receiving member (2) and a blocking member (4). The receiving member (2) comprises an end wall (8), an open end (7), and a peripheral wall (5) that surrounds a storage area (6) containing the aerosol-generating material (3). The blocking member (4) comprises a body of material (12) arranged to resist the aerosol-generating material (3) from moving out of the storage area (6) through the open end (7) of the receiving member (2). The present disclosure also relates to a method (100) of manufacturing an article (1) for use in an aerosol provision system (200). The present disclosure also relates to an aerosol provision system (200) comprising an article (1) and to a package of articles. The present disclosure also relates to a sheet material (9) for forming a receiving member (2) for an aerosol provision system article (1), a receiving member (2) for an aerosol provision device system (200), and a method of manufacturing a sheet material (9).
An article for use in an aerosol provision system, the article comprising:
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the end wall is gas permeable.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the receiving member is generally cup-shaped.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a wrapper that secures the blocking member relative to the receiving member and, preferably, wherein the wrapper circumscribes the receiving member and the blocking member.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member is generally cylindrical.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member comprises the end of a rod of aerosol generating material and, preferably, said end of the rod has a higher density than another portion of the rod and, preferably, wherein the rod is a tobacco rod.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material comprises a plug of material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material is disposed adjacent to the open end of the receiving member.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material has an axial length in the range of 3 to 20 mm and, preferably in the range of 4 to 15 mm, 5 to 12 mm or 7 to 10 mm.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material comprises an aerosol-generating material and/or an aerosol-former material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the aerosol-generating material in the storage area has a density in the range of about 0.4 g/cm3 to about 2 g/cm3.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material comprises aerosol-generating material with a density in the range of about 0.1 g/cm3 to about 1 g/cm3.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the density of the aerosol-generating material in the storage area is at least 25% higher than the density of the body of material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member comprises an aerosol-generating material comprising:
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member comprises tobacco material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member comprises paper.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the body of material comprises a sheet material that is arranged to form the body of material and, preferably, the sheet material is gathered to form the body of material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the blocking member comprises an end that contacts the aerosol-generating material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the aerosol-generating material is a loose material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the aerosol-generating material comprises, consists of, or essentially consists of, tobacco material.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a cooling section and, preferably, wherein the cooling section is arranged such that, in use of the article with an aerosol provision device, the cooling section is downstream of the receiving member.
An article according to any one of the preceding claims, further comprising a plug of material provided on the other side of the end wall to the storage area.
An aerosol provision system comprising the article of any one of the preceding claims and an aerosol provision device.
A method of manufacturing an article for use in an aerosol provision system, the method comprising:
A sheet material for forming a receiving member for an aerosol provision system article, wherein the sheet material comprises one or more regions of strength discontinuity configured to promote folding of the sheet material in a predetermined manner to form an end wall of the receiving member.
A method of manufacturing a sheet material for an article for use in an aerosol provision system, the method comprising providing a sheet material and forming one or more regions of strength discontinuity in the sheet material arranged such that the regions of strength discontinuity promote folding of the sheet material in a predetermined manner to form an end wall of the receiving member.
