Abstract:

This device includes: a chamber which receives a consumable; a heating part which heats the consumable received by the chamber; and a cylindrical sleeve surrounding the chamber. The chamber includes an opening into which the consumable is inserted, and a holding part which holds the consumable. The holding part includes a pressing part which presses a portion of the consumable, and a non-pressing part. The holding part is provided with a gap which is between the inner surface of the non-pressing part and the consumable and which, when the consumable is positioned in the desired position in the chamber, communicates with the opening in the chamber and an end surface of the consumable positioned in the desired position in the chamber, or with the opening in the chamber and an end surface of the consumable that is positioned in the chamber and positioned on the far side from the opening in the chamber. In a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the chamber, when defining L1 as the shortest distance between the inner surface of the sleeve and the outer surface of the pressing part, and L2 as the shortest distance between the inner surface of the sleeve and the outer surface of the non-pressing part of the chamber, L1 is greater than L2.
