Description
! BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
,~ This invention relates to an improved cigarette tipping l'material and more particularly relates to a cigarette tipping O limaterial having a non-lipsticking coating on preselected areas jlthereof.
,¦ In the manufacturing of cigarettes it is common practice~
to apply a coating on the tipping material of the cigarettes to ilreduce or prevent lipsticking; that is, to `prevent the tendency l¦of the wrapping around a cigarette filter which comes in contac~
with the smoker's lips to adhere thereto. Presently, there is known in the art several different methods for coating the tipping !
of ci~arettes to prevent or at least reduce the sticking of Ijcigarette wrapping or materia~ to the smoker's lips during use.
0 l,British Patent No. 328,147 relates to a cigarette having a tip '¦or end that prevents sticking to the lips wherein the coating ~is applied to preselected surfaces on the tip. U.S. Patent No. 288,151 teaches a cigarette wrapper having preselected areas llwith the coating thereon which is applied in a form of a design.
S IlU.S. Patent No. 2,033,791 teaches a water-proof tip for cigarettes, which is "lip-proof" and only preselected portions of the tobacco llpaper are coated and this coating is applied for strengthening jjthe paper. Other patents ~hich teach coating of the wrapper !l i ., .

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sheet of cigarette tipping material of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a cigarette using the tipping material of Figure l; and, Figure 3 is a schematic view, in perspective, of one preferred embodiment of making the tipping material of Figure 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODI~NT OF THE INYENTION
In Figure 1 a sheet of tipping material 2 is provided with preselected are~as 4 coated with non-lipsticking or lip releasing type material thereon. These coatings with the non-¦lipsticking properties include ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, or any other well known agent used for preventing the sticking of a smoker's lip to a cigarette. The coating may be applied along various configurations and as shown is applied alon~
spaced parallel straigllt lines running the length of the paper an~ in use, as shown in Figure 2, extends around the filter 6 of a cigarette 5. The uncoated areas of the tipping paper is ~1 also provided with spaced parallel straight lines of perfora-tions 8 which also encircle a filter 6 (as shown in Figure 2) thereby allowing air into the smoke stream as it passes through the filter 6 when in use.
In a preferred method of making tipping material of the present invention, as shown in Figure 3, unprinted tipping paper 10 is fed to a pair of synchronized rollers 12 and 14. ~oller 12 is a pressure roller and roller 14 is a gravure printing roller having preselected engraved areas therein, the engraved areas being identified by the numerals 16a, 16b and 16c so~~that as the roller 14 passes through a reservoir 20 having a coating 22 therein the coating does not transfer or adhere to the unengraved areas of the roller Igravure cylinder. Thus, as the sheet 10 passes between the ¦jrollers 12 and 14, coating is applied to the underside of ¦¦the tipping paper in a preselected pattern. The tipping paper ¦10 leaving the coating step of the preparation is then fed into a drier for drying the coating. The drier includes iair blower 40 and a fire-box 4~ for heating air and directin~
¦same to the paper 10 passing therethrough. It is realized ¦that the drier as shown is for illustrative purposes only as ¦any means for drying known in the art may be utilized. Paper 10 is then fed into a pair of synchronized rol~s 24 and 26. The roller 26 is provided with a pair of parallel rings 18a and
