- the holding portion includes a pressing portion that presses a part of the consumable item and a non-pressing portion.
- the pressing portion and the non-pressing portion have an inner surface and an outer surface, respectively.
- the heating portion is arranged on the outer surface of the pressing portion.
- the inner surface of the pressing portion can be said to be a pressing surface that presses the consumables, and the inner surface of the non-pressing portion can be said to be a non-pressing surface that does not press the consumables.
- the consumables are substantially in close contact with the heating surface (inner surface of the pressing portion), the heat from the heating portion can be efficiently transferred to the consumables.
- Consumables include smokeable substances including tobacco and non-tobacco.
- Consumables may or may not have a mouthpiece.
- the consumable item having a mouthpiece may be a stick type having a similar appearance to a conventional cigarette having a cigarette or the like as a smokeable substance.
- Consumables that do not have a mouthpiece include those in which smokeable substances such as tobacco are hardened into a tablet shape, and those in which smokeable substances are wrapped with a breathable member such as non-woven fabric or a sheet member such as paper. May be good.
- the heating unit may have a heating element.
- the chamber can be, for example, a bottomed tubular container or a bottomless tubular body.
- the chamber is preferably composed of a substance such as a metal having a high thermal conductivity, and examples thereof include stainless steel. This enables effective heating.
- the wall thickness of the chamber is preferably uniform (including substantially uniform). This makes it possible to heat the entire chamber more uniformly.
- the thickness of the chamber is, for example, 0.04 mm or more and 1.00 mm or less, preferably 0.04 mm or more and 0.50 mm or less, and more preferably 0.05 mm or more and 0.10 mm or less.
- the heating portion is arranged on the outer surface of the pressing portion without a gap (without a gap between the outer surface of the pressing portion and the heating portion).
- the term "without gaps” here also includes the meaning of having substantially no gaps.
- the heating portion is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the pressing portion, so that the heat from the heating portion can be transferred to the consumables more efficiently.

- the opening can be accepted without pressing consumables.
- the shape of the chamber opening in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the chamber in other words the direction in which consumables are inserted into the chamber or the direction in which the entire side surface of the chamber extends (hereinafter referred to only as the longitudinal direction of the chamber), is polygonal or It may be oval, but is preferably circular. This allows consumables to be easily inserted into the opening.
- the inner peripheral length of the holding portion is preferably the same as the outer peripheral length of the consumable before being pressed by the pressing portion.
- “identical” includes the case where they are substantially the same. “Substantially the same” means that the difference between the inner peripheral length of the holding portion and the outer peripheral length of the consumable before being pressed by the pressing portion is within, for example, ⁇ 6% of the inner peripheral length of the holding portion. It means that there is, preferably within ⁇ 4%, and more preferably within ⁇ 2%.
- the holding portion has a pressing portion and a non-pressing portion.
- the inner peripheral length of the holding portion is substantially the same as the outer peripheral length of the consumable, a part of the consumable is pressed by the pressing portion, so that the outer peripheral shape of the consumable is the cross-sectional shape of the inner surface of the holding portion. Will be almost the same as.
- a portion where the consumable is pressed by the pressing portion is formed. The efficiency of heat conduction from the heating part to the consumables can be improved.
- the non-pressed portion of the outer peripheral surface of the consumable also substantially contacts the inner peripheral surface (non-pressing surface) of the holding portion. Therefore, the heat conduction efficiency from the heating part to the consumables can be improved. Further, the consumable can be smoothly inserted into the holding portion as compared with the case where the outer peripheral length of the consumable is longer than the inner peripheral length of the holding portion, and the outer peripheral surface of the consumable and the inside of the consumable (for example, a smokeable substance) can be inserted. Distortion of the density of tobacco as an example can be suppressed.
- the inner peripheral length of the holding portion is substantially the same as the outer peripheral length of the consumables pressed by the pressing portion, and the inner peripheral length of the holding portion is the chamber of the holding portion. It may be the inner peripheral length in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of. Further, the "outer peripheral length of the consumable before being pressed by the pressing portion" is the longitudinal direction of the chamber when pressed by the pressing portion among the outer peripheral length of the consumable before being pressed by the pressing portion.
- the outer peripheral length of the portion may be the outer peripheral length of the portion positioned at the position corresponding to the inner peripheral length of the holding portion being compared.
- the "outer peripheral length of the consumables pressed by the pressing portion” is the outer peripheral length of the consumables pressed by the pressing portion of the holding portion compared in the longitudinal direction of the chamber. It may be the outer peripheral length at a position corresponding to the inner peripheral length.
- the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion preferably has the same shape and size (the outer peripheral length of the holding portion on the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the chamber) over the entire length of the chamber in the longitudinal direction.
- the non-pressing portion preferably comes into contact with the consumable in a non-pressed state when the consumable is placed at a desired position in the chamber.
- the non-pressed state here includes a substantially non-pressed state.
- the non-pressing portion has an inner surface connecting the pressing portions whose inner surfaces facing each other are flat, and the inner surface may be a curved surface.
- the inner surface of the non-pressing portion of the holding portion has a curved surface connecting the ends of the inner surface of the pressing portion in the circumferential direction of the chamber.
- the structure of the smoking system can be further simplified, and the non-pressing portion can be cleaned more easily than when the inner surface has corners.
- the gap described later is formed in the chamber, the gap can be cleaned more easily than when the inner surface has an angle.
- the shape of the inner surface of the non-pressing portion on the surface orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the chamber is the same as the shape of the opening on the surface orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the chamber at an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the chamber.
- the inner surface of the non-pressing portion is preferably formed by extending the inner surface of the chamber forming the opening in the longitudinal direction.
- the configuration of the chamber can be simplified, and when the void described later is formed in the chamber, the flow of air entering through the opening of the chamber is suppressed from being obstructed.
- the voids can be cleaned more easily.
- the "circumferential direction of the chamber” may be considered as the "rotational direction about the longitudinal direction of the chamber".
- the outer surface of the pressing portion may be a curved surface or an uneven surface, but is preferably a flat surface.
- the outer surface of the pressing portion is substantially flat means that the ratio of the flat surface to the entire outer surface of the pressing portion is, for example, 80% or more from the viewpoint of the ratio of the flat surface to the entire outer surface of the pressing portion. This means that it is preferably 90% or more, and more preferably 95% or more.
- the outer surface of the pressing portion is flat, it is possible to prevent the strip-shaped electrode from bending when the strip-shaped electrode is connected to the heating portion arranged on the outer surface of the pressing portion. It is easy to route in the device. Further, as compared with the case where the outer surface of the pressing portion is a curved surface or an uneven surface, the heating portion can be positioned more accurately, and the heating portion can be easily arranged on the outer surface of the pressing portion without a gap.
- the inner surface of the pressing portion is preferably flat. This makes it easier to insert consumables.
- the "plane” here includes the case where it is substantially a plane.

As a result, it is possible to suppress the inhibition of efficient heat transfer to consumables due to the volume of the pressing portion being too large, and to secure the required strength of the pressing portion.
- the chamber may have only one pressing portion, but it is preferable to have two or more in the circumferential direction of the chamber. As a result, since there are two or more locations for pressing the consumables in the circumferential direction of the chamber, the consumables can be heated more comprehensively and uniformly.
- the holding portion has two pressing portions facing each other, and at least a part of the distance between the inner surfaces of the two pressing portions is larger than the width of the portion arranged between the pressing portions of the consumables inserted into the chamber. Small is preferable.
- the inner surfaces of the two pressing portions of the holding portions facing each other may be flat.
