Abstract

An aerosol generating component including at least two substantially planar portions, wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lie in a different plane from each other.

1 . An aerosol generating component comprising: at least two substantially planar portions, wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lie in a different plane from each other. 
     
     
         2 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lying in a different plane define an oblique internal angle. 
     
     
         3 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 2 , wherein the internal angle may be between about 30° and about 60°. 
     
     
         4 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 3 , wherein the internal angle may be between about 40° and about 50°. 
     
     
         5 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lying in a different plane are connected to each other end-to-end. 
     
     
         6 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , comprising one or more elongate apertures. 
     
     
         7 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 6 , comprising multiple elongate heating portions. 
     
     
         8 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 7 , wherein an elongate aperture is provided between adjacent elongate heating portions. 
     
     
         9 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , configured such that airflow travels perpendicular to a boundary between the at least two substantially planar portions lying in a different plane. 
     
     
         10 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , formed of an electrically conductive material. 
     
     
         11 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , formed of a porous material. 
     
     
         12 . An aerosol generating component of  claim 1 , formed of a single layer. 
     
     
         13 . An article for use as part of a non-combustible aerosol provision system, the article comprising:
 an aerosol generating component of  claim 1 ; and   one or more of a reservoir for aerosolisable material, and an aerosol forming chamber.   
     
     
         14 . An article of  claim 13 , wherein the aerosol generating component is provided at least partly within the aerosol forming chamber. 
     
     
         15 . An article of  claim 13 , comprising at least one air inlet to the aerosol-forming chamber. 
     
     
         16 . An article of  claim 15 , wherein the aerosol generating component is arranged to channel air entering the article via the at least one air inlet onto at least two of the substantially planar portions lying in a different plane. 
     
     
         17 . An article of  claim 15 , wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lying in a different plane are arranged to direct air entering the article via the at least one air inlet in different directions. 
     
     
         18 . An article of  claim 15 , wherein at least two of the substantially planar portions lying in a different plane define an oblique internal angle, wherein the oblique internal angle is at the side of the aerosol generating component distal from the at least one air inlet. 
     
     
         19 . An article of  claim 13 , configured such that airflow travels perpendicular to a boundary between the at least two substantially planar portions lying in a different plane. 
     
     
         20 . A non-combustible aerosol provision system comprising:
 an article of  claim 13 ; and   a device comprising one or more of a power source and a controller.
