    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention provides a method and apparatus for manufacturing a smoking article. The apparatus comprises a conveyor (60) for a tobacco rod (65). The direction of conveyance is parallel-to a central longitudinal axis of the tobacco rod (65). The apparatus further comprises an applicator (72) for applying a liquid additive to the tobacco rod (65) on the conveyor (60). The applicator (72) is configured such that liquid additive received into the tobacco rod (65) has a distribution in a cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the tobacco rod (65) that is substantially symmetrical about the central axis. In one embodiment, the applicator (65) comprises a plurality of dispensing heads (75A, 75B) disposed around the tobacco rod (65). In another embodiment, the applicator (72) includes a plough (91) for creating a furrow within the tobacco rod (65) and a dispensing head (92) for dispensing additive into the furrow.

    Abstract translation: 本发明的一个实施例提供了用于制造吸烟制品的方法和装置。 该设备包括用于烟草棒(65)的输送机(60)。 输送方向与烟丝条(65)的中心纵向轴线平行。 该装置还包括用于将液体添加剂施加到输送机(60)上的烟草杆(65)的施加器(72)。 施用器(72)构造成使得容纳在烟丝条(65)中的液体添加剂在与烟丝条(65)的中心纵向轴线垂直的横截面上具有分布,该分布平面基本上围绕中心轴对称。 在一个实施例中,施用器(65)包括设置在烟丝条(65)周围的多个分配头(75A,75B)。 在另一个实施例中,施用器(72)包括用于在烟丝条(65)内产生沟槽的犁(91)和用于将添加剂分配到犁沟中的分配头(92)。
