Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020216762A1] The present invention relates to an aerosol-generating device for use with an aerosol-generating article. The device comprises a receiving chamber for removably receiving at least a portion of the aerosol-generating article. The receiving chamber has an inner surface and a center axis. Along the center axis, the inner surface comprises a first axial portion, a second axial portion and an intermediate axial portion. The intermediate axial portion is located between the first axial portion and the second axial portion. The first axial portion comprises a plurality of first protrusions. The second axial portion comprises a plurality of second protrusions. The plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions are configured to contact at least a portion of the aerosol-generating article for retention of the aerosol-generating article in the receiving chamber. The plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions extend in a direction towards the center axis, beyond the intermediate axial portion of the inner surface.
