Abstract
A holder () for an aerosol generating article () includes a body () defining a passage configured to receive the article. The holder also includes a retainer () longitudinally moveable relative to the body from a first position to a second position. The retainer comprises a deflectable arm () and a retention member () extending from the arm and configured to retain the article within the passage of the body when the retainer is in the first position. Movement of the retainer to the second position causes the arm to deflect to provide access for introducing or withdrawing the article from the passage of the body. The holder may include a plurality of retainers moveable from a first position to the second position. The plurality of retainers may surround a combustible heat source () of the aerosol generating article when the retainers are in the first position.
