Flavor inhaler

Abstract

The present invention appropriately attaches a heat-insulating material to the outside of a storage section. This flavor inhaler has a storage section for storing a consumable material, a heating element for heating the consumable material, a heat-insulating member provided to the outer periphery of the storage section, and a first tape member which is stuck to the heat-insulating member. The first tape member has a first section which extends from a first end section in the circumferential direction of the heat-insulating member, and a second section which is positioned on the heat-insulating member or extends from the heat-insulating member. The first section is stuck to the second section.

1 . A flavor inhaler that is capable of heating a consumable, comprising:
 a containing unit that accommodates the consumable;   a heating element that heats the consumable;   a heat insulating member that is provided on an outer circumference of the containing unit; and   a first tape member that is attached to the heat insulating member,   wherein the first tape member has a first part that extends beyond a first end part of the heat insulating member in a circumferential direction and a second part that is located on the heat insulating member or extends beyond the heat insulating member, and   the first part is attached to the second part.   
     
     
         2 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first tape member has a fixing part, and the fixing part extends beyond a second end part of the heat insulating member on a side opposite to the first end part and is attached to the heating element or the containing unit.   
     
     
         3 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first tape member is attached to the heat insulating member throughout an entire length of the heat insulating member in a circumferential direction.   
     
     
         4 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the heat insulating member is wound one or more turns around the outer circumference of the containing unit.   
     
     
         5 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the heat insulating member is wound two or more turns around the outer circumference of the containing unit.   
     
     
         6 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , further comprising a thermistor provided on an outer surface of the first tape member. 
     
     
         7 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the thermistor is located outside the heating element in a radial direction.   
     
     
         8 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the containing unit has a cylindrical side wall part;   the side wall part has a flat outer surface; and   the thermistor is located outside the flat outer surface in a radial direction.   
     
     
         9 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 6 , further comprising a second tape member that fixes the thermistor together with the first tape member so that the thermistor is sandwiched between the first tape member and the second tape member. 
     
     
         10 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 9 , further comprising a shrinkable tube that is located on an outer side of the second tape member. 
     
     
         11 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a length of the first tape member in an axis direction of the containing unit is 50% or more of a length of the heat insulating member in the axis direction.   
     
     
         12 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the heat insulating member is a fibrous heat insulator.   
     
     
         13 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the containing unit has an opening through which the consumable is inserted and a bottom that makes contact with an end surface of the consumable; and   the heating element is disposed closer to the opening than to the bottom.   
     
     
         14 . The flavor inhaler according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the heating element heats the consumable from an outer side.
