    摘要: Nonwoven web comprising thermoplastic meltblown fibers or filaments predominantly present as agglomerates or multiple fused fiber areas. Such agglomerates in the web act as columns and impart a desired degree of strength and resistance to compaction. In contrast to prior art webs where such agglomerates have been considered undesirable, the webs of the present invention find particular utility when formed into cylinders as filter plugs for smoking articles. In smoking articles of the invention, the filter plugs have a desired pressure drop while demonstrating an unexpected degree of firmness, all at an economically attractive cost. Preferred embodiments include those where the machine direction strength to cross machine direction grab tensile ratios in the range of from about 1:1 to 4:1 and the fibers or filaments are made from polypropylene. Other embodiments include webs and filter plugs containing additives distributed throughout the web.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improved wrapper for a smoking article haviing a combustible fuel element encircled by an insulating layer and a physically separate aerosol generating means as well as to smoking articles employing such wrappers. The wrapper encircles at least a portion of the insulating layer for the fuel element and comprises a permeable sheet material which during burning of the fuel provides a coherent layer to assist in controlling the amount of peripheral air to the fuel element during smoking.Preferred smoking articles which employ the wrapper of the present invention have a short fuel element, a physically separate aerosol generating means including an aerosol forming material, an insulating material around the fuel element, a relatively long mouthend piece, and a combination of sheet materials as the wrapper comprising an innerwrap which after lighting of the fuel element burns away to a high permeability non-coherent ash and an outerwrap which upon lighting fuses to form a coherent ash which assists in controlling the amount of peripheral air to the fuel element during smoking.

    摘要: There is disclosed a package with controlled humidity for storing products such as tobacco and food. Teh package is an enclosed container with a humidistat pad inside which pad serves as a spacer and holds a humectant solution in its liquid phase in an absorbent interior layer. The pad has a liquid impervious backing layer to protect the walls of the container from the liquid humectant solution. The pad also has a liquid permeable cover which can rapidly transfer the humectant solution deposited on it to the absorbent layer during filling of the container with the product.

    摘要: The invention is an improved specially designed wrapper construction for smoking articles producing controlled burn properties of smoking articles such as cigarettes so that the cigarette will self-extinguish after free burning in air for a designed time period. In addition, the wrapper construction results in cigarettes with reduced tendency to ignite combustible substrates, such as upholstered furniture, when in contact with them. Therefore, smoking articles with this wrapper construction reduce the likelihood of accidental fires, yet they free-burn rapidly for a designed period of time without puffing. However, during a normal puffing sequence the behavior of cigarettes with these wrappers is indistinguishable from commercial cigarettes. On the other hand, other self-extinguishing cigarettes go out without puffing and therefore have to be relighted frequently. The wrapper constructions of the present invention include single or double wraps of cigarette paper which are inherently incapable without elevated levels of burn promoting chemical or supporting cigarette free burn. The construction is modified by application of a plurality of zones of elevated levels of burn promoter to the extent that the cigarette burns normally in the treated zones. Thus, when the burning coal advances to an area of untreated wrap, it reliably self-extinguishes unless puffed. The extent of the treated zones controls the time required for the cigarette to self-extinguish. Required wrappers are preferably those having a Burn Mode Index ("BMI") as defined in the range of from about 1.5 cm.sup.-1 to about 6.0 cm.sup.-1 for the single wrap embodiment and, for the double wrap embodiment, about 0.1 cm.sup.-1 to about 4.0 cm.sup.-1 for the inner wrap and about 2 cm.sup.-1 to about 40 cm.sup.-1 for the outer wrap depending on the BMI of the inner wrap. The wrappers and smoking articles of the invention may be produced using conventional methods and equipment.

    摘要: The invention is an improved wrapper construction for smoking articles such as cigarettes resulting in a reduced tendency to ignite combustible materials accidentally or carelessly coming into contact with the lit cigarette. The wrapper constructions and smoking articles of the invention have a specially designed structure which causes a cigarette to go out quickly when in contact with a substrate, including many commonly-encountered substrates made of combustible materials. This structure is characterized by a Burn Mode Index ("BMI") as defined for the wrapper of between about 1.5 cm.sup.-1 and 5.0 cm.sup.-1 for a single wrap embodiment. For an alternative double wrapped embodiment, the outer wrap will have a BMI in the range of from about 2.0 cm.sup.-1 to about 40 cm.sup.-1 depending on the BMI of the inner wrap which may vary between about 0.1 cm.sup.-1 to 4.0 cm.sup.-1. The preferred amount of burn promoter is at least 15 mg anhydrous potassium citrate per gram of bone dry paper or stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of other burn promoting salts.Preferred substrate embodiments include paper made from flax or other cellulosic fibers, treated with elevated amounts of an alkali metal burn promoter such as alkali metal salts of carboxylic acids, especially potassium salts. In contrast to other attempts, these results are obtained without a significant sacrifice of desired taste and smoke deliveries, for example, without unacceptable increases in puff count or significant increases in delivered tar and carbon monoxide. Wrapper constructions and smoking articles of this invention may be manufactured using conventional cigarette paper processes and equipment.
