    摘要: A multi-pack packaging sleeve comprises first and second pack receiving pockets each constructed and arranged to receive at least one product pack. A sliding connection between the first and second pack receiving pockets includes a lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket and a slide lock flap on the second pack receiving pocket slidably received within the lock slot on the first pack receiving pocket. The sliding connection enables the first and second pack receiving pockets to move relative to one another between abutting positions and a position where the pack receiving pockets are slightly spaced apart from one another to thereby define a notch between the pockets for cooperative engagement with the rails of a product display and dispensing rack.

    摘要: An inspection station irradiates a moving cigarette with a one or more strobed arrays of infrared LEDs. The infrared radiation which passes through the cigarette is received by a video camera, which forms a digital image of the cigarette. A computer then detects the edges of the digital image of the cigarette and determines therefrom the length of the filter, hollow acetate tube, void chamber, tobacco plug, as well as the overall length of the cigarette. The computer then compares these measurements with expected standard values of these sections, and outputs the comparison results to the user using various display formats. According to exemplary aspects, the present invention delivers the cigarettes one at a time to the video camera using a parts handling system. The parts handling system comprises a infeed bin for storing a batch of cigarettes, and for dispensing a cigarette to a carriage positioned beneath the infeed bin. The carriage then transports the cigarette placed thereon between the strobing infrared LED arrays and the video camera, which together provide an image of the cigarette. The carriage then transports the cigarette to an output bin, where a diverter blade knocks the cigarette off the carriage and into the output bin.

    摘要: Reconstituted tobacco sheets manufactured from tobacco dust and binder are described herein. More particularly, the tobacco dust has a mean particle size in the range of from about 60 mesh to about 400 mesh to afford reconstituted tobacco sheets having about 80% to about 90% tobacco content with improved quality and survivability. The reduced particle size of the tobacco dust allows an increase in the solids content of the slurry without an increase in slurry viscosity. The increased solids content reduces the drying load of the cast sheet thereby allowing an increased production rate. The reconstituted tobacco sheets may be prepared from a slurry comprising tobacco dust and binder that may be subjected to a means for removing air trapped within the slurry before casting the slurry into sheets. An apparatus for determining the amount of air trapped within the slurry prepared according to the process of the present invention is also described herein.
