- the second attachment element 47 is configured to attach the second end 34 of the panel 18 to the housing 10.
- the attachment elements 46, 47 are configured such that the first attachment element 46 requires a smaller force to detach the first end 32 of the panel 18 from the housing 10 than the second attachment element 47. That is, the first attachment element 46 requires a smaller force to remove the first end 32 of the panel 18 from the aperture 17 than the force that must be applied to the second attachment element 47 to remove the second end 34 of the panel 18 from the aperture 17.

- This provides the advantage that any gases which are exhausted through the aperture 17 from the power source receiving compartment 15 are directed away from the second end 13 of the housing 10, and therefore away from the user.
- the first end 32 of the panel 18 is releaseably attached to the housing 10. Therefore, the first attachment element 46 may be fully decoupled from the housing 10.
- the first attachment element 46 maybe releasably attached to the housing 10 in order to maximise the amount of the first portion 31 of the panel 18 that can be removed from the aperture 17.
- the first attachment element 46 maybe only partially decoupled from the housing 10. That is, the first attachment element 46 may move to the second position where it is at least partially removed from the aperture 17 to fluidly communicate the power source receiving compartment 15 with the atmosphere but may still be attached to the housing 10 to limit the distance the first end 32 of the panel 18
- the second end 34 of the panel 18 is fixedly attached to the housing 10. Therefore, the second attachment element 47 may remain coupled to the housing 10 when the panel 18 is in both the first position and the second position.
- the second end 34 of the panel 18 being fixedly attached to the housing 10 allows the panel 18 to hinge open about the second end 34 of the panel 18 when the internal pressure in the power source receiving compartment 15 exceeds a predefined threshold.

- the bracket 52 may fix the end cap 16 to the housing 10.
- the bracket 52 may be fixed to the outer body 11 of the housing 10 proximate the second end 13 of the housing 10. Therefore, a build up of internal pressure in the power source receiving compartment 15 cannot force the end cap 16 out of the aerosol provision device 1.
- the internal support 51 may comprise a panel receiving portion 53.
- the panel receiving portion 53 is configured to receive the panel 18 and hold the panel 18 in its first position until the pressure in the power source receiving compartment 15 exceeds a predefined threshold.

As illustrated in Figure 4, the slot 56 extends perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal axis A of the outer body 11 of the housing 10. The open end 57 of the slot 56 is closed by the outer body 11 of the housing 10 to prevent the second attachment element 47 sliding out of the slot 56.
- the slot 56 comprises an inner section 61 and an outer section 62.
- the inner section 61 of the slot 56 is wider than the outer section 62 of the slot 56.

- the centrelines of the first and second gaps 63, 66 are aligned. Therefore, a shoulder 69 is formed between the first and second gaps 63, 66.
- the shoulder 69 is configured to provide a surface for the second attachment element 47 to abut so that the second attachment element 47 cannot be removed from the slot 56, especially when the internal pressure in the power source receiving compartment 15 reaches the predefined threshold.
- the first attachment element 46 is a sealing portion. That is, the first attachment element 46 is configured to seal closed the hole 54 in the panel receiving portion 53 of the internal support 51, as shown in Figure 7.

- the plug portion 71 is generally cuboidal and the protrusion 72 is semi-circular in shape.
- the shape of the plug portion 71 and the protrusion 72, and the hole 54 may be different to that illustrated.
- the first attachment element 46 comprises a plurality of protrusions 72 extending from the plug portion 71.
- the plug portion has two protrusions 72 extending longitudinally from a first end 73 of the plug portion 71 and two protrusions 72 extending longitudinally from a second end 74 of the plug portion 71.
- the first end 73 of the plug portion 71 is proximate to the first end 32 of the panel 18.
- a protrusion 72 extending from the first end 73 of the plug portion 71 must be compressed against a side wall 55 of the hole 54 when the panel 18 hinges about the second attachment element 47. Therefore, as the protrusions 72 increase the force required to move the panel 18 into the second position, the panel 18 maybe made smaller and/or thinner and/or from more flexible material as the panel only needs to be held in the first position until a predefined threshold is exceeded.
- the projection 76 of the second attachment element 46 comprises a stalk portion 77 and an anchor portion 78.

- the panel 18 may further comprise an overlapping projection 81.
- the overlapping projection 81 is configured to contact an inner surface of the outer body 11 of the housing 10, as shown in Figure 6.
- the overlapping projection 81 increases the force required to move the panel 18 from its first position to its second position. Therefore, as the overlapping projection 81 increases the force required to move the panel 18 into the second position, the panel 18 may be made smaller and/or thinner and/or from more flexible material as the panel 18 only needs to be held in the first position until a predefined threshold is exceeded.
- the overlapping projection 81 extends from the first end 32 of the panel 18 at least partially along the length of the panel 18. In the present embodiment, the overlapping projection 81 extends substantially along the length of the first portion 31 of the panel 18.
- the overlapping projection 81 extends from the first end 32 of the panel 18 to the second end side of the first attachment element 46.
- the overlapping portion 81 need not extend along the length of the second portion 33 of the panel 18 because the second attachment element 47 fixed attaches the second end 34 of the panel 18 to the housing 10.
- the overlapping portion 81 extends from the longitudinal side wall 43 of the main body 35 of the panel 18.
- the overlapping portion 81 comprises an inner surface 82, which extends in the same plane as the inner surface 36 of the main body 35 of the panel 18.
- the overlapping portion 81 further comprises an outer surface 83 which is spaced from the outer surface 37 of the main body 35 such that the overlapping portion 81 is thinner than the main body 35 of the panel 18.
- the overlapping portion 81 comprises a chamfered outer edge 85.
- the chamfered outer edge 85 is configured to abut the inner surface of the outer body 11 of the housing 10.

- the overlapping portion 81 maybe compressed between the internal support 51 and the inner surface of the outer body 11 of the housing 11 around a periphery of the aperture 17. Therefore, when the overlapping portion 81 is held in compression, or pinched, between the internal support 51 and the outer body 11, the force required to move the panel 18 from the first position to the second position increases. Therefore, for a given predefined threshold, the panel 18 with the overlapping portion 81 held in compression can be made smaller and/or thinner and/or from a more flexible material.
- the panel 18 further comprises an outer lip 87.
- the outer lip 67 is configured to overlap an outer surface of the outer body 11 of the housing 10 around a periphery of the aperture 17
- the outer lip 87 helps to fluidly seal the aperture 17 in the side wall 14 of the outer body 11.

- the housing 10 may comprises a plurality of panels 18, any one of the panels 18 comprising a combination of the features described above.
- a user takes an aerosol provision device 1, as shown in Figure 1, and inserts an article into the second end 13 of the housing 10.
- the aerosol provision device may be a heat- not-burn device or a vaporising device.
- the article may be, for example, but not limited to, a consumable, a cartridge comprising an aerosol generating substrate and a mouthpiece, a mouthpiece.
- the user may actuate the device by pressing a button (not shown) or drawing on the article to activate a puff sensor.
- the power source provides power to a heater to heat the article/consumable to deliver aerosol to the user.
- the panel 18 Under normal operation, the panel 18 is located in its first position. That is, the first attachment element 46 of the panel 18 is located in the hole 54 of the panel receiving portion 53 of the internal support 51. In some embodiments, the plug portion 71 of the panel 18 fluidly seals the hole 54 of the internal support 51 such that the power source receiving compartment 15 is fluidly isolated from the aperture 17. Furthermore, the second attachment element 47 of the panel 18 is located in the slot 56 of the panel receiving portion 52 of the internal support 51.

In addition, the outer lip 87 contacts the outer surface of the outer body 11. Therefore, the panel 18 fluidly seals the aperture 17 such that the power source receiving compartment 15 is fluidly isolated from the atmosphere.
- the internal pressure within the sealed power source receiving compartment 15 builds.
- the panel 18 in the housing 10 is moved from its first position to its second position when the internal pressure in the power source receiving compartment 15 exceeds a predetermined threshold to allow gases to be vented to the atmosphere.
- the first portion 31 of the panel 18 is moved outwardly by the pressure.
- a predefined threshold i.e. when the pressure becomes greater than the sum of the frictional forces between the plug portion 71 and the hole 54, and the overlapping portion 81 and the aperture 17, the plug portion 71 is removed from the hole 54 and the overlapping portion is removed from the aperture 17 such that the power source receiving compartment 15 is in fluid communication with the atmosphere, and the gases under high pressure in the housing 10 can be vented safely into the atmosphere away from the user.
- the predefined internal pressure threshold maybe in the range of 2070 kPA (300) psi +/- 10%.
