摘要:
A filtered cigarette (174) comprises a smokable rod (186) and a filter element (200), the smokable rod (186) and filter element (200) being secured to one another by a first tipping material (208) that circumscribes both th entire length of the filter element (200) and an adjacent region of the smokable rod (186), the filtered cigarette (174) further comprising a second tipping material (250) overlying at least a portion of the first tipping material (208), wherein the second tipping material (250) comprises a first region (555) proximal to the smokable rod (186), a second region (550) remote from the smokable rod (186), and a perforated region (545) therebetween, wherein either (i) the second region (550) is securely affixed to the first tipping material (208) and the first region (555) is movable by sliding engagement with the filter element (200) upon breaking of the perforated region (545), the first region (555) of the second tipping material (250) being formed of a non-combustible material or including a flavoring or aromatic agent adapted to alter the sensory characteristics of the cigarette before, during, or after smoking; or (ii) the first region (555) is securely affixed to the first tipping material (208) and the second region (550) is movable by sliding engagement with the filter element (200) upon breaking of the perforated region (545) and can extend beyond the mouth end terminus of the filter element (200).
摘要:
Relatively fragile components (20) for cigarette-like smoking articles are wrapped with an overwrap (42) by bringing an exposed axial surface portion of the component into resilient contact (N) with the overwrap, and by then rolling the component about its longitudinal axis (186,188) again by resiliently contacting the component. Smoking articles including the foregoing components as the distal component and at least one proximal component are made by, first, supplying a pair of distal components with their distal ends facing one another and pushed up against an interposed stop. The overwrap is slit parallel to the stop just prior to application to the distal components. After overwrapping, the distal components are reoriented so that their distal ends face away from one another. A pair of proximal components is then placed between the distal components, and each proximal component is joined to the adjacent distal component by a tipping overwrap.
摘要:
A method in making a rod-shaped article (1) comprising a removable segment (10). The method comprises providing a sheet material (20) and providing the sheet material (20) with a single line of weakness (40) with non-rectangular undulations. The method further comprises positioning of the sheet material (20) provided with the line of weakness (40) in registration with a first (10) and a second (11) rod-shaped segment arranged in an end-to-end position, and wrapping the sheet material (20) comprising the line of weakness (40) around the first (10) and the second (11) rod-shaped segments forming at least a part of a rod-shaped article (1). The first segment (10) is removable from the rod-shaped article (1) together with a portion of the sheet material (20) by tearing the line of weakness (40).
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to tipping paper including a flavored sheet and a smoking article including the same, and more particularly, is to provide tipping paper for smoking articles and tipping paper including the same. The tipping paper, as tipping paper for smoking articles, includes a flavored sheet that includes a cellulose-based polymer, a plasticizer, and a flavoring material.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for wrapping tipping material about an assembly (104) comprising a non-circular tobacco rod and a non-circular filter plug, the assembly having a circumference less than that of a standard cigarette, on a standard cigarette tipping machine. The cigarette assembly (104) is rolled along the surface of a rolling drum (71) by means of an adjacent pressure element (94) that is moved in the same direction as, but with a different speed from that of the peripheral surface of the drum (71). The difference in speed causes the cigarette assembly (104) to roll along the drum surface from one of a plurality of uniformly spaced-apart receiving flutes (106) to one of a plurality of uniformly spaced-apart discharge flutes (108) distinct from the receiving flutes. The spacing between adjacent discharge flutes is the same as that between adjacent receiving flutes, but the two sets of flutes are offset one from the other. Suction is applied selectively, exclusively to the receiving flutes (106) near the feed point of the drum, and exclusively to the discharge flutes (108) near the transfer point.
