Abstract: The invention relates to a cleaning tool for an aerosol-generating device. The FIG. 1 cleaning tool comprises a cleaning head and a handle. At least a part of the cleaning head is rotatably mounted in the handle. The cleaning tool further comprises at least one suspension element arranged between the cleaning head and the handle. The suspension element is arranged to engage the cleaning head or the handle to prevent relative rotation between the cleaning head and the handle, if a torque below a predetermined threshold is applied between the cleaning head and the handle. The suspension element is configured to disengage the cleaning head or the handle, if a torque above a predetermined threshold is applied between the cleaning head and the handle

Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol-generating device comprising a main body and a top cover. The top cover comprising a cavity for removable insertion of an aerosol-generating article comprising aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-generating device further comprises a heater in the cavity. The top cover is configured as movable with respect to the main body between a first position and a second position. The cavity is accessible for insertion of the aerosol-generating article when the top cover is in the first position. The cavity is inaccessible for insertion of the aerosol-generating article when the top cover is in the second position. Movement of the top cover between the first and second position is caused by one or more of pivotal movement around, or transversal, to a longitudinal axis of the aerosol-generating device and sliding movement transversal to the longitudinal axis of the aerosol-generating device. The invention also relates to a system comprising an aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating article.
