How do I disable the Chrome DevTools device emulator?

Since recent updates, Chrome DevTools now shows a useful device emulator:

enter image description here

Which is great, but I'm not emulating anything:

Clicking the 'reset' button also still shows the emulation bar.

How can I turn Chrome DevTools device emulator off when I am not using it?

DevTools Interface; Not preview Window

I use multiple screens and detach my console. Havel's is correct but it should be noted that when the console window is detached and on a different screen, the phone icon is unintuitively on the DevTools interface that wraps the console and not on the browser screen with the device toolbar.

Screenshot of DevTools interface from MacOS on Chrome.

Reading through the Comments on Havel's answer it still wasn't clear.

Open Developer Tools and click the "phone" icon - upper left corner. This toggles the ruler on and off.
