BG4416U1 - Purifier which reduces the content of harmful substances such as tar and carbon dioxide in tobacco products - Google Patents

Abstract

This purifier has been invented specifically for the purpose of reducing the amount and accordingly of the harmful and carcinogenic properties of tar, carbon dioxide and other harmful substances present in the smoke released during the burning (smoking) of various tobacco products, including cigarettes (factory-made and handmade) and pipes, as well as for minimizing the harm caused by these substances that are hazardous to the health of people who use them. The purifier consists of a filter composed of compressed filtering component and fine-grained zeolite as depicted in drawings 1 and 2. The utility model relating to a purifier which reduced the content of harmful substances such as tar and carbon dioxide in tobacco products is feasible, can be produced in factory conditions and can be used for the making of various types of tobacco products provided that the elements shown on the drawings and their positions in the relevant products are respected/followed.

Description

Field of technique

The useful model relates to the field related to human health and in particular to the reduction of harmful emissions of tar, nicotine and carbon dioxide contained in all types of cigarette products.

Technical nature of the utility model

Tar is a residue of particles that are contained in cigarette smoke. It is not a single chemical, but rather a mixture of several thousand smoke constituents (chemicals). It is measured in a laboratory setting by trapping the particles in a filter and then extracting the water and nicotine. Tar is responsible for the greatest health risks, including many types of cancer (oncological diseases).

Nicotine is a naturally occurring chemical in the tobacco plant. When tobacco burns, nicotine is transferred into the smoke. Nicotine is not the main cause of smoking-related diseases, but it is addictive.

The carbon monoxide that forms in cigarette smoke. It has been identified as the leading cause of cardiovascular disease (heart disease) in smokers. The above-mentioned facts about the harmful substances contained in cigarettes have been published repeatedly in the media space, from various sources, incl. The Ministries of Health in Bulgaria and other countries.

The proposed useful model aims, according to its name, to minimize the harm of the substances contained in tobacco products to the health of the people who use them.

The utility model relating to a purifier for reducing the content of harmful substances such as tar, carbon dioxide in tobacco products is feasible and can be factory produced by observing the elements indicated in the drawings and their positions in the respective products.

It can be used in making different types of tobacco products.

As an example, cigarette sleeves are given, and the standard filter is divided into 2 equal parts, zeolite is placed between them (the volume with which the samples were made is 0.125 cubic cm) and the whole cigarette sleeve (purifier and body) is tightly packed and sealed with pressed paper - as cigarette cases are usually produced.

Pipes - with them, the size of the purifier must be adapted to the different models, but the manufacturing principle is the same as that of cigarettes: filter, zeolite, filter, tightly packed and sealed with pressed paper intended for filters.

Claims (1)

A purifier for reducing the content of harmful substances in tobacco products, such as cigarettes, pipes, cigarettes, characterized in that it includes a zeolite (2) placed between a first filter (1) and a second filter (3), packed and sealed tightly with pressed paper , commonly used to manufacture filters
