摘要： Tobacco is reconstituted to provide a product of tobacco-filler size particles. Particulate tobacco, from 5 to 10 weight percent of starch, up to 10 weight percent binder and water are fed to an extruder, the operating conditions being such that in the sheet form extrudate water flashes off to steam, thus to expand the extrudate. Further, the cross-section of the extrudate when exiting the orifice of the extruder expands to a cross-section greater than that of the orifice of the extruder. After being cooled, the extrudate is cut to particle size. The particles, each of which comprises a cellular interior and a skin at two opposite sides, can be used as or in cigarette filler.

摘要： A cigarette comprises a filter element having an air-permeable surface and a tobacco rod, the filter element and the tobacco rod being interattached by an air-impermeable tipping wrapper. The tipping wrapper is attached to, but spaced from, the underlying peripheral surfaces of the tobacco rod and the filter element at first zones extending from the upstream edge of the wrapper across the rod/element juncture and is unattached and spaced from the peripheral surfaces at second zones circumferentially intermediate the first zones. There are thus provided ventilation air inlet ducts through which air is able to enter the filter element without the necessity for tipping wrapper perforations.

摘要： A smoke filter for a smoking article (e.g. a cigarette) comprises a filter plug having an airflow duct whose floor extends along the filter plug from the mouth end of the plug such that the end of the duct remote from the mouth end is deeper than the end of the duct at the mouth end, with a region of progressively decreasing depth from the deep end towards the shallow end. The at least one duct may comprise a plurality of grooves equiangularly spaced around the periphery of the filter plug, in which case it is possible for the grooves to extend helically and to be divided into sets of opposite hand such that each groove of one set intersects several grooves of the other set. Alternatively, the airflow duct may comprise a single annular groove extending around the filter plug with a shallower side at the mouth end of the plug and a deeper side remote from the mouth end, in which case a relatively stiff tipping is required. In all cases the tipping includes ventilation perforations communicating with the deeper end of the air duct.

摘要： The invention relates to the treatment of fibre, particularly for making rods of bonded, fibrillated polyolefin fibre which can be used for example as or in tobacco smoke filters. The fibres may be crimped or straight and are bonded with a polymeric or copolymeric bonding agent which is applied to the fibres without the application of heat, the bonding agent being in the form of a cold setting emulsion, applied for example by means of a shear cone rotating at high speed or by brush means, the treated fibres then being formed to shape and allowed to cure in normal conditions and in the absence of heating.

摘要： A cigarette filter element comprising at least one duct extending from one end to the other of the element, which element is operated on by a heated former moving relatively to it in a rotary fashion. The heated former serves to provide a cavity or annular groove through filtration material of the element. The cavity or groove also extends through a section of the duct to provide a ventilation channel. The duct at least one may be of a smoke-impermeable nature and may be provided by one or more bores or thermoplastic tubes.

摘要： A method of applying metal foil embellishment to cigarette paper or tipping paper comprises pressing foil against tipping using a heated former of a configuration corresponding to that of the desired embellishment. The method, which is preferably carried out on a filter tip assembly machine, may result in a depression in the tipping, in which case it is advantageous for the tipping to comprise a thermoplastic material.

摘要： The filter comprises a tobacco smoke filtration tube ensheathed in a layer of smoke pervious thermoplastic material. The layer is encased in a plugwrap. The layer has a transverse cross-section rendered impervious to smoke tobacco by use of an annular sealing groove. The tube is closed at a location spaced longitudinally from the groove by a V-shaped annular groove.
