Abstract:
A capsule (22) suitable for a filter cigarette as a smoking article includes: a capsule body (24) that is formed to be elastically deformable in an substantially cylindrical shape, has an end wall (26) closing a front end and an open end (28) opening the other end, and accommodates a liquid thereinside; and a seal member (40) as a blocking wall closing the open end (28), wherein the end wall (26) is formed to be a recessed wall, and includes: an outer peripheral portion (32) provided on an outer periphery; a central portion (34) provided inward of the outer peripheral portion (32) to be more inwardly recessed than the outer peripheral portion (32); and multiple V-shaped grooves(36) radially arranged at the central portion (34) as a thin-walled region, and the bottom thickness of each V-shaped groove (36) is thinner than the thicknesses of the end wall (26) and the peripheral wall (30) of the capsule body (24).
Abstract:
A flavorant-carrying adsorbent particle comprising an adsorbent core particle having a BET specific surface area of 700 m 2 /g or greater, and a flavor-generating medium carried on the surface of the adsorbent core particle and including a flavorant and a flavorant-holding material holding the flavorant, wherein the flavorant-holding material is present in an amount of 5 to 20% with respect to a total weight of the flavorant-carrying adsorbent particle, and the flavorant is present in an amount of 10 to 50% with respect to a weight of the flavorant-holding material.
Abstract:
A capsule (22a to 22f) containing a liquid of the present invention includes a capsule body (24) in a substantially cylindrical shape, the capsule body (24) having an end wall (26), a circumferential wall (32) and an open end (28), a seal member (40) as a closure wall closing the open end (28), a central portion (30) as a thin-walled region that is formed in a center of the end wall (26), the central portion (30) having a thickness thinner than thicknesses of the end wall (26) and the circumferential wall (32), and a protrusion (36) integrally protruding from a center of the central portion (30) toward an outside of the capsule body (24).
Abstract:
A flavorant-carrying low adsorbent particle comprising a low adsorbent core particle having a BET specific surface area of less than 700 m 2 /g, and a flavor-generating medium carried on the surface of the low adsorbent core particle and including a flavorant and a flavorant-holding material holding the flavorant, wherein the flavorant-holding material is present in an amount of 5 to 20% with respect to a total weight of the flavorant-carrying low adsorbent particle, and the flavorant is present in an amount of 10 to 50% with respect to a weight of the flavorant-holding material.
Abstract:
In a capsule for a smoking article in a substantially tubular shape that is installed in a filter for the smoking article, a tubular circumferential wall, and a pair of end walls that respectively close both ends of the circumferential wall are included, a liquid is encapsulated in an interior, at least one of the end walls is elastically deformable, and groove-shaped thin-walled regions formed of straight lines or curved lines are provided in the one end wall to meet at two or more meeting points.
Abstract:
A filter of the invention includes: a capsule CA having a tubular shape and including a peripheral wall 10 constituting a peripheral surface of the tubular shape and a pair of end walls 11, 12 closing front and rear openings of the tubular shape, respectively, the capsule having a liquid encapsulated therein, at least the peripheral wall 10 being elastically deformable, and the peripheral wall being provided with at least one ring-shaped main thin-walled region 10a extending in a peripheral direction of the peripheral wall or with at least one straight main thin-walled region 10c extending in an axial direction perpendicular to the peripheral direction; and a generally cylindrical filter body having an accommodation space 204 in which the capsule CA is accommodated, wherein the capsule is disposed within the accommodation space such that the ring-shaped main thin-walled region 10a or the straight main thin-walled region 10c is directed parallel to a radial direction of the filter body.
