Abstract

Claims (32)

1 . An aerosol provision device, comprising:

a receptacle configured to receive aerosol generating material, wherein the aerosol generating material is heatable by a susceptor;

an inductor coil extending around the receptacle, wherein the inductor coil is configured to generate a varying magnetic field for heating the susceptor; and

a magnetic shield member extending at least partially around the inductor coil, wherein the magnetic shield member is rolled around the inductor coil and is at least partially bonded to itself.

2 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield member is in contact with the inductor coil.

3 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 2 , wherein the magnetic shield member is bonded to the inductor coil by an adhesive layer.

4 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield member comprises at least one magnetic shielding layer and at least one laminate layer.

5 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 4 , wherein the laminate layer comprises a plastic material.

6 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 5 , wherein the plastic is Polyethylene terephthalate, PET.

7 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic shield member:

is formed from a sheet; and

defines a notch, wherein the notch is configured to receive a section of wire forming the inductor coil.

8 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 7 , wherein:

the aerosol provision device further comprises a second inductor coil adjacent to the inductor coil;

the sheet defines comprises a second notch; and

the second notch is configured to receive a section of wire forming the second inductor coil.

9 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 1 , further comprising a susceptor, wherein the susceptor defines the receptacle.

10 . An aerosol provision device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer cover forming at least a portion of an outer surface of the aerosol provision device, wherein an outer surface of the outer cover is positioned away from an outer surface of the susceptor, and wherein the inductor, the susceptor, and the outer cover are configured such that a temperature of the outer surface remains below about 48° C.

11 . A magnetic shield member for an aerosol provision device, wherein the magnetic shield member is formed from a sheet and comprises:

a magnetic shielding layer;

an adhesive layer applied to a first side of the magnetic shielding layer;

a laminate layer applied to a second side of the magnetic shielding layer;

a first notch defined by the sheet, the first notch being configured to receive a section of wire forming a first inductor coil of the aerosol provision device; and

a second notch defined by the sheet, the second notch being configured to receive a section of wire forming a second inductor coil of the aerosol provision device.

12 . An aerosol provision device, comprising:

a receptacle configured to receive aerosol generating material, wherein the aerosol generating material is heatable by a susceptor;

an inductor coil extending around the receptacle, wherein the inductor coil is configured to generate a varying magnetic field for heating the susceptor; and

a magnetic shield member extending at least partially around the inductor coil, wherein the magnetic shield member is rolled around the inductor coil, wherein the magnetic shield member overlaps itself, and wherein the magnetic shield member is at least partially bonded.

13 . An aerosol provision device, comprising:

a receptacle configured to receive aerosol generating material, wherein the aerosol generating material is heatable by a susceptor;

an inductor coil extending around the receptacle, wherein the inductor coil is configured to generate a varying magnetic field for heating the susceptor; and

a magnetic shield member extending at least partially around the inductor coil, wherein the magnetic shield member is rolled around the inductor coil is at least partially adhesively bonded.
