Abstract (en)

A heat not burn device is disclosed. The heat-not-burn (HNB) device comprises a body (209) defining a cavity (222) and an opening (221) to the cavity for receipt of a heat-not-burn consumable therein. The device further includes a closure (250) moveable between a first position and a second position respectively. In the first position the closure covers the opening and in the second position the closure is retracted so as to be substantially concealed within the body. By providing the heat not burn device including the closure which covers the opening of the cavity may prevent entry of dust/dirt particles into the cavity. Further, the presence of the closure may prevent particles of aerosol-forming-substrate (e.g. tobacco) which have accumulated within the device from falling out of the cavity of the device.
