Abstract
The invention relates to an aerosol-generating device comprising a housing comprising a structured upper housing surface. The structured upper housing surface comprises a plurality of protrusions arranged on a straight planar base. The aerosol-generating device comprises a cover element comprising a lower cover surface facing the structured upper housing surface. The cover element is coupled to the structured upper housing surface by a sliding mechanism to allow relative movement of the cover element between a first position and a second position. The lower cover surface is maintained distanced from the straight planar base of the structured upper housing surface by the plurality of the protrusions. The invention further relates to an aerosol-generating system.
