Abstract

An aerosol provision device includes a spring, wherein a first end of the spring is connected to the lid at a first pivot point and the first end is rotatable about the first pivot point as the lid moves between the open and closed positions. A second end of the spring is connected to the housing at a second pivot point and the second end is rotatable about the second pivot point as the lid moves between the open and closed positions. The spring is configured such that the spring biases the lid towards the open position when the lid is between the open position and the intermediate position, and the spring biases the lid towards the closed position when the lid is between the intermediate position and the closed position.
