A liner

Abstract

A liner for use with an aerosol provision device is disclosed. The aerosol provision device includes a chamber and an aerosol generator for generating aerosol from aerosol-generating material when a consumable including the aerosol-generating material is located in the chamber. The liner is for selective insertion into the chamber, and the liner is formable into a first configuration in which the liner is wound with a first diameter, and formable into a second configuration in which the liner is wound with a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The liner is movable from the first configuration to the second configuration when inserted into the chamber to at least partially line the chamber.

1 . A liner for use with an aerosol provision device comprising a chamber and an aerosol generator for generating aerosol from aerosol-generating material when a consumable comprising the aerosol-generating material is located in the chamber, wherein:
 the liner is for selective insertion into the chamber, and   the liner is formable into a first configuration in which the liner is wound with a first diameter, and formable into a second configuration in which the liner is wound with a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the liner movable from the first configuration to the second configuration when inserted into the chamber to at least partially line the chamber.   
     
     
         2 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner is expandable by at least partial unwinding when inserted into the chamber to move from the first configuration to the second configuration. 
     
     
         3 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner comprises open longitudinal ends in the first configuration and the second configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner is resiliently deformable. 
     
     
         5 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner has a thickness of no more than 100 microns. 
     
     
         6 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner comprises heating material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. 
     
     
         7 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner comprises a non-electrically conductive support. 
     
     
         8 . The liner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the liner comprises a retention member for retaining the liner in the first configuration, the retention member removable from the liner to enable movement from the first configuration to the second configuration. 
     
     
         9 . An aerosol provision system comprising:
 an aerosol provision device having a chamber into which a consumable comprising aerosol-generating material is insertable, and an aerosol generator for generating aerosol from the aerosol-generating material when the consumable is located in the chamber; and   a liner for selective insertion into the chamber, wherein the liner is formable into a first configuration in which the liner is wound with a first diameter, and formable into a second configuration in which the liner is wound with a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the liner movable from the first configuration to the second configuration when inserted into the chamber to at least partially line the chamber.   
     
     
         10 . The aerosol provision system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the aerosol provision device comprises an opening via which the consumable is insertable into the chamber, and the liner is insertable into the chamber via the opening. 
     
     
         11 . The aerosol provision system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the aerosol provision system comprises a retainer for selectively retaining the liner in the chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The aerosol provision system as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the aerosol provision system comprises an adapter to selectively determine a maximum width of consumable insertable into the chamber via the opening, the adapter to act as the retainer when connected to the aerosol provision device. 
     
     
         13 . The aerosol provision system as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein the aerosol provision system comprises a plurality of adapters, each adapter to selectively determine a different maximum width of consumable insertable into the chamber via the opening, each adapter to act as the retainer when connected to the aerosol provision device 
     
     
         14 . The aerosol provision system as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the liner is expandable by at least partial unwinding when inserted into the chamber to move from the first configuration to the second configuration. 
     
     
         15 . A product, comprising:
 at least one consumable comprising aerosol-generating material, the consumable insertable into a chamber of an aerosol provision device that comprises an aerosol generator for generating aerosol from the aerosol-generating material when the consumable is located in the chamber; and   a liner for selective insertion into the chamber to at least partially line the chamber and to at least partially surround the consumable when the consumable is located in the chamber.   
     
     
         16 . The product as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the liner is formable into a first configuration in which the liner is wound with a first diameter, and formable into a second configuration in which the liner is wound with a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the liner movable from the first configuration to the second configuration when inserted into the chamber to at least partially line the chamber. 
     
     
         17 . The product as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the product comprises a package, and the consumable and the liner are housed within the package. 
     
     
         18 . The product as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the product comprises a package, and the consumable and the liner are housed within the package, the liner in the first configuration within the package, and the consumable comprises a third diameter substantially corresponding to the first diameter.
