Abstract: An aerosol provision device is provided. The device comprises a body having an opening and a chamber in the body arranged to receive at least a portion of an article comprising aerosol generating material inserted through the opening. The device comprises a cover mechanism comprising a cover member arranged to selectively at least partially cover the opening and an actuating member arranged to rotate on the body to actuate the cover member. Rotation of the actuating member relative to the body causes the cover member to move between a relatively open position in which the at least a portion of an article is able to pass through the opening and a relatively closed position in which the at least a portion of an article is prevented from being able to pass through the opening. The opening is offset from an axis of rotation of the actuating member.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device for generating aerosol from an aerosol generating material is provided. The aerosol provision device comprises a body defining an opening; a heating zone arranged to receive at least a portion of an article comprising aerosol generating material inserted through the opening; and a cover mechanism. The cover mechanism comprises a cover member arranged to selectively at least partially cover the opening; an actuating member arranged to rotate on the body to actuate the cover member; and a linking member pivotally attached to the cover member and pivotally attached to the actuating member. Rotation of the actuating member relative to the body causes the cover member to move between a relatively open position in which the at least a portion of an article is able to pass through the opening and a relatively closed position in which the at least a portion of an article is prevented from being able to pass through the opening.
