摘要:
A low ignition propensity wrapping paper includes a paper web and bands arranged on the web at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the web. These bands are formed by applying a combustion-inhibition liquid onto the web. The combustion-inhibiting liquid contains a solvent and a combustion inhibitor that is sodium alginate or pectin dissolved in the solvent. The solvent is treated water obtained by substantially removing at least calcium ions and magnesium ions from raw water of a water supply or a well.

An applied flavoring-material inspecting device suitable to inspect that a flavoring material containing a fluorescent substance is applied on cigarette wrapping paper evenly and in a proper amount. The inspecting device comprises a light source (10) for casting ultraviolet light onto a flavoring-material application surface of cigarette wrapping paper on which a flavoring material with a fluorescent substance added or containing a fluorescent substance is applied, a camera (20) for obtaining an image of the flavoring-material application surface from fluorescence radiated due to the ultraviolet light, and an image processing means (30) for detecting an area of a fluorescence irradiation region in an image for inspection obtained by digitizing the image obtained by the camera and determining an applying state of the flavoring material applied on the cigarette wrapping paper, from the area of the fluorescence irradiation region.

An inspection device for filter cigarettes has a blocking pad (60) and a suction pad (80) for holding a filer cigarette (FC) therebetween at an inspection position when the filter cigarette (FC) is transferred along a transfer path in a filter-attaching machine, a pressure detector (94) for detecting the magnitude of the negative pressure produced in the filter cigarette (FC) when air in the filter cigarette (FC) is sucked in through the suction pad (80) in the state where the filter cigarette (FC) is held between the blocking pad (60) and the suction pad (80), and a controller (108) for deciding whether there is an adhesion defect of tip paper of the filter cigarette (FC) or not, based on the output from the pressure detector (94).
摘要:
In an optical density checking apparatus, a 0.7-&mgr;m first light beam not transmitted through shredded leaf tobacco and a 1.3-&mgr;m second light beam transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco, which are from first and second light sources, are synthesized, and an obtained synthetic light beam is applied to a tobacco rod. The projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams are measured by a composite light-receiving element, projected light quantity control circuit, and arithmetic circuit. The arithmetic circuit calculates the transmitted light quantity of the second light beam transmitted through the shredded leaf tobacco on the basis of the projected light quantities, reflected light quantities, and passing light quantities of the first and second light beams, and calculates the density of the shredded leaf tobacco on the basis of the transmitted light quantity.
