The invention relates to a cleaning tool for an aerosol-generating device. The 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.
A cleaning tool for an aerosol-generating device, the cleaning tool comprises a cleaning head and a handle, wherein at least a part of the cleaning head is rotatably mounted in the handle, wherein the cleaning tool further comprises a torque limiter arranged between the cleaning head and the handle, wherein the torque limiter engages the cleaning head with the handle to prevent relative rotation between the cleaning head and the handle if a torque below a predetermined torque threshold is applied between the cleaning head and the handle, and wherein the torque limiter is configured to disengage the cleaning head from the handle if a torque above the predetermined torque threshold is applied between the cleaning head and the handle, wherein the cleaning head comprises cleaning brushes or wipers, wherein the cleaning brushes or wipers are arranged adjacent a distal end of the cleaning head and wherein the cleaning brushes or wipers are extended beyond a distal end of the handle.
