Flavor inhaler

Abstract

To obtain a flavor inhaler including an accommodating portion exhibiting high workability. A flavor inhaler includes an accommodating portion that accommodates at least a part of a flavor generating article, and the accommodating portion includes a tubular portion that surrounds a circumference of the flavor generating article and an abutting portion that is formed of a member different from the tubular portion and abuts the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion.

1 . A flavor inhaler comprising:
 an accommodating portion that includes an opening formed at one end and accommodates at least a part of a flavor generating article via the opening,   wherein the accommodating portion includes
 a tubular portion that surrounds a circumference of the flavor generating article, and 
 an abutting portion that is disposed at the other end of the accommodating portion inside the tubular portion, is formed of a member that is different from the tubular portion, and abuts the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion. 
   
     
     
         2 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein the abutting portion is configured of a resin. 
     
     
         3 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 2 , wherein a first air flow path that communicates with the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion is formed at the abutting portion. 
     
     
         4 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the tubular portion includes a contact portion that comes into contact with the flavor generating article when the flavor generating article is accommodated in the accommodating portion and a separated portion that is adjacent to the contact portion in a circumferential direction and is separated from the flavor generating article, and   when the flavor generating article is accommodated in the accommodating portion, a second air flow path that communicates with the first air flow path is formed between the separated portion and the flavor generating article.   
     
     
         5 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein the tubular portion is configured of metal. 
     
     
         6 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein the tubular portion has a non-cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         7 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sealing portion that seals a part between the tubular portion and the abutting portion.   
     
     
         8 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a heating portion that is disposed at an outer circumference of the tubular portion and is configured to heat the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion,   wherein the abutting portion and the heating portion do not overlap each other in an axial direction of the accommodating portion.   
     
     
         9 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein the abutting portion is engaged with a bottom portion of the tubular portion formed on the other end side of the accommodating portion. 
     
     
         10 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a support portion that is engaged with the abutting portion via the tubular portion.   
     
     
         11 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a rotation preventing mechanism that prevents relative rotation of the support portion with respect to the tubular portion about an axial direction of the accommodating portion as a rotation axis.   
     
     
         12 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 10 , wherein the abutting portion forms an air layer on a side opposite to an abutting surface that abuts the flavor generating article accommodated in the accommodating portion in a state where the abutting portion is engaged with the support portion. 
     
     
         13 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 10 , wherein a bottom portion of the tubular portion formed on the other end side of the accommodating portion is sandwiched between and supported by the abutting portion and the support portion. 
     
     
         14 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a guide portion that abuts the opening of the tubular portion and guides insertion of the flavor generating article into the tubular portion.   
     
     
         15 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a cover portion that is disposed to cover a circumference of an abutting location between the tubular portion and the guide portion.
