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.
