Abstract

An aerosol generating component including at least one elongate slit, wherein the width of one, more, or each elongate slit is up to 0.03 mm.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An aerosol generating component comprising:
 at least one elongate slit, wherein the width of one, more, or each elongate slit is up to 0.3 mm.   
     
     
         2 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the width of one, more, or each elongate slot is slit is at least 0.05 mm. 
     
     
         3 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the width of one, more, or each elongate slit is between 0.15 mm and 0.25 mm. 
     
     
         4 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the aerosol generating component is substantially planar. 
     
     
         5 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit comprises multiple elongate slit sections. 
     
     
         6 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit section is substantially straight. 
     
     
         7 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit section is curved. 
     
     
         8 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein at least two of the elongate slit sections are non-parallel with respect to each other. 
     
     
         9 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein at least two of the elongate slit sections are obliquely angled with respect to each other. 
     
     
         10 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one, more or each elongate slit is open at the periphery of the aerosol generating component. 
     
     
         11 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one, more or each elongate slit is enclosed by the periphery of the aerosol generating component. 
     
     
         12 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising:
 an aerosolizable material feed section configured to receive aerosolizable material; and   an aerosolization section configured to aerosolize aerosolizable material.   
     
     
         13 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit is provided in the aerosolization section. 
     
     
         14 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit does not extend into the aerosolizable material feed section. 
     
     
         15 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit is connected to an elongate slot. 
     
     
         16 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slot is provided in the aerosolization section. 
     
     
         17 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit is provided in the aerosolizable material feed section. 
     
     
         18 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein one, more, or each elongate slit extends into the aerosolization section. 
     
     
         19 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the width of one, more, or each elongate slot is greater than 0.3 mm. 
     
     
         20 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising one or more electrical connectors. 
     
     
         21 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the aerosol generating component is formed of a porous material. 
     
     
         22 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the aerosol generating component is formed of an electrically conductive material. 
     
     
         23 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the aerosol generating component is formed of a single layer. 
     
     
         24 . An aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the aerosol generating component is formed from a woven or weave structure, mesh structure, fabric structure, open-pored fiber structure, open-pored sintered structure, open-pored foam or open-pored deposition structure. 
     
     
         25 . An article for use as part of a non-combustible aerosol provision system, the article comprising:
 an aerosol generating component as claimed in  claim 1 ; and   one or more of an aerosol forming chamber and a reservoir for aerosolizable material.   
     
     
         26 . A non-combustible aerosol provision system comprising:
 an article as claimed in claim  25 ; and   a device comprising one or more of a power source and a controller.
