An apparatus for heating an article including an aerosolizable medium has a heating chamber for receiving the article; and a sleeve located around the heating chamber. The heating chamber and the sleeve define a region therebetween, and the sleeve is configured to receive a first seal at a first end of the sleeve and a second seal at a second end of the sleeve, so that the sleeve can engage with additional components at the first and second ends in such a way that ingress or egress of fluid into or out of the region between the heating chamber and the sleeve is prevented.

Apparatus for heating an article including an aerosolizable medium, a method of manufacturing the apparatus and an aerosolizable material article for use with the apparatus

Hanging tool storage devices, shown as tool boards are provided. In some embodiments, the tool board includes a base and a plurality of pocket panels adjustably coupled to various locations of the base. In certain embodiments, the base includes a plurality of base members that releasably couple to one another to form different base shapes and sizes. In other specific embodiments, the pocket panels are rigid and modularly connect to one another to form a rigid structure.

Hanging tool storage device

Disclosed is an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The article includes a smokable material, such as tobacco, and a heater for heating the smokable material. The heater comprises heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. The heating material has a Curie point temperature that is less than the combustion temperature of the smokable material.

Article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material

Disclosed is a heating element for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The heating element is formed from heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. First and second portions of the heating element have different respective thermal masses. Also disclosed is an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilise at least one component of the smokable material, the apparatus including such a heating element. Further disclosed is an article for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, wherein the article includes such a heating element.

Apparatus for heating smokable material

Disclosed is an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The article includes a mass of smokable material. An exterior of the article has a length (L), a width (W) perpendicular to the length (L), and a depth (D) perpendicular to each of the length (L) and the width (W). The length (L) is greater than or equal to the width (W), and the width (W) is greater than the depth (D).

Disclosed is an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the article including: a malleable container defining a cavity; a mass of smokable material in the cavity; and heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field to heat the smokable material. Also disclosed is a system including: such an apparatus; and an article for use with the apparatus, the article including a container defining a cavity, and a mass of smokable material in the cavity; wherein the apparatus includes a heating zone for receiving at least a portion of the article, and a magnetic field generator for generating a varying magnetic field to be used in heating the smokable material when the portion of the article is in the heating zone. In the system, the container is malleable, or a portion of the container is porous for permitting volatilised material generated by heating the smokable material within the cavity to leave the cavity.

Disclosed is an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The article comprises smokable material, such as tobacco, and a heater for heating the smokable material. The heater comprises heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. The heating material has a Curie point temperature that is less than the combustion temperature of the smokable material.

Disclosed is a cartridge for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the cartridge including: a container defining a cavity, and smokable material located in the cavity, wherein the cartridge includes heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field to heat the smokable material. Also disclosed is apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the apparatus including: an interface for cooperating with an article comprising smokable material, a magnetic field generator for generating a varying magnetic field for penetrating the article when the interface is cooperating with the article, and a device for puncturing the article.

Cartridge for use with apparatus for heating smokable material

In one aspect, an aerosol provision system is provided. The system includes an assembly defining an opening configured to receive a replaceable consumable and a removable member releasably engaged with the assembly. The removable member is configured to form part of an outer surface of the system, and is positioned so as not to obstruct the opening.

Aerosol provision system and removable member

Disclosed is material for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The material includes a mixture of smokable material and elements. Each of the elements includes a closed circuit of heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field.

Material for use with apparatus for heating smokable material

An apparatus is arranged to heat smokable material () to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus has a housing and a plurality of heater segments longitudinally arranged within the housing for heating smokable material contained within the apparatus. At least one heater segment is arranged so as to heat smokable material contained within the at least one heater segment more quickly than at least one other heater segment heats smokable material contained within the at least one other heater segment.

Apparatus for heating smokeable material

A device for dispensing a sheet from a stack of sheets is disclosed. The device includes a holder for receiving a refill container including the stack of sheets. The holder includes a holder base wall and opposed holder side walls extending up from the holder base wall. The refill container includes a container base wall and opposed first and second container side walls extending up from the container base wall. A first flap extends inward from an end of the first container side wall, and a second flap extends inward from an end of the second container side wall. The first flap and the second flap are dimensioned to define a longitudinal dispensing slot of the container. At least one of the first flap and the second flap of the container can flex upward when a sheet is dispensed from the device. In one form, the sheets comprise a thin sponge material.
