Description
1191~6~i DESCRIPTION
IMPROVEME~TS RELATI~G T~ TOBACCO SMOKE FILTERS
This invention relates to tobacco smoke filters for use with smoking articles, cigarettes for exampl~.
It is well known to provide filter tipped cigarettes with ventilation means which permit the ingress of ventilation air into the filter. A purpose of this is to effect a decrease in the mainstream delivery of smoke components. It has been observed that when ventilation air flows into a filter comprising a plug of fibrous filtration material, cellulose acetate for example, through a ventilation zone extending around the filter the tobacco smoke is caused to pass out of the filter in an axial stream having a diameter less than the diameter of the end face of the filter plug.
This comparatively narrow stream of smoke impinges on a limited area of the taste receptors in the mouth of the smoker. I~ is an object of the present invention to provide a tobacco smoke filter in the use of which there occurs a stimulation of the taste receptors over a wider region in the smoker's mouth.
The present invention provides a smoke filter including a rod-like plug of filtration material and having at least one airflow duct at the periphery of said plug, wherein said at least one airflow duct has an ~9~6~i outlet opening at the mouth end of said plug and an inlet opening spaced fxom the mouth end, and wherein said at least one airflow duct has a region in which the depth progressively decreases along the airflow duct in a direction towards the mouth end of the plug.
Conveniently~ said at least one airflow duct I has its region of decreasing depth extending substantially up to the mouth end of the plug. Preferably there may be several said airflow ducts, each defined partly by a respective one of a plurality of grooves in the peripheral surface of the filter plug~ and partly by the i~wardly facing surface of wrapping means around the filter plus. In this case the width of the grooves may be constant or it may increase or decrease in the direction towards the mouth end of the filter plug.
In order that th~ invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the diagrammatic drawing hereof, in which:-Fi~ure 1 shows a part view, in axial section, of a filter tipped cigarette, Figure 2 shows a mouth-end view of the filter of the cigarette of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a mouth-end view of a filter of a somewhat different form from the filter shown in Figure 1 and 1~91065 Figure 4 shows a development view of a portion of the peripheral surface of a filter plug of another form.
The cigarette of Figure 1 comprises a rod 1 of cut tobacco enwrapped in cigarette paper 2, and a filter 3 comprising a self-sustaining filter plug 4 of fibrous cellulose acetate filtration material. At the periphery of the plug 4 there extend a number, eight as shown, of parallel, axially extending grooves 5 - see also Figure ~. As may be seen from Figure 1, the grooves 5, which extend from the mouth end of the plug 4 for a distance less than the full length of the plug, are so formed that the depth of each decreases towards and s~bstantially up to the mouth end of the plug. A
convenient method of forming the grooves 5 is to subject the plug 4, or preferably a filter rod length from which the plug was cut, to a hot-moulding process such as, for example, that disclosed in United Xingdom Patent Specification No. 1,507,765, using suitably shaped *orming means. The surfaces of the grooves 5 may be rendered impervious.
Serving to secure the filter 3 to the cigarette rod 1, 2 is a tipping 7 which, in the portions where it overlies the grooves 5, defines, together with the walls of the grooves 5, airflow ducts 8. A row of ventilation perforations 9, shown in exaggerated form, in the tipping 7 encircles the plug 4 at a location overlying the ~1065 upstream end of the grooves 5, the arrangement being such that there is in communication with each of the airflow ducts 8 at least one of the perforations 9.
When the cigarette of Figure 1 is smoked, ambient air is drawn through ~he ventilation perforations 9 into the airflow ducts 8. The air passes al-ong the airflow ducts 8 to the outlet ends thereof unmixed, or substantially unmixed, with tobacco smoke. Since the depth of the grooves 5 partly defining the airflow ducts 8 decreases in the direction of flow of the ventilation air along the ducts 8, the air exits the ducts 8 into the smoker's mouth with a component of velocity directed radially outwardly. There is thus provided a divergent air stream which entrains smoke issuing from the mouth end of the filter plug 4 by a Coanda effect and so causes the smoke to come into contact with taste receptors over a comparatively wide region of the smoker's mouth. This is perceived by the smoker as an enhanced smoke character.
The filter~ a mouth-end view of which is shown in Figure 3, comprises a plug 4' which, instead of being provided with ~ number of longitudinally extending peripheral grooves, comprises a single annular circumferential groove 5'. In axial section of the plug 4', the groove 5' has a contour similar to the contour of the base of each of the grooves 5 of the plug 1~9~65 4 of Figure l. A stiff wrapper sleeve or mouthpiece 7', which may be formed of plastics material, encases the plug 4' and receives an end portion of a cigarette rod in a manner analogous with the tipping 7 of the cigarette shown in Figure l. The sleeve 7' requires to be stiff in order that the annular mouth-end opening, designated 6, of airflow duct 8', defined by the circumferential annular gro~ve 5' and the sleeve 7', remains open when the filter is in use.
The effect produced by the filter of Figure 3 is similar to that of the filter 3 of Figures l and 2.
Ambient air is drawn into the airflow duct 8' through perforations (not shown) in the wrapper or mouthpiece 7' and, because of the contour of the groove 5, the air enters the ~moker's mouth as a divergent stream which serves to cause smoke to impinge on an extended region of taste receptors.
Figure 4 shows, as a development view, a pattern of peripheral grooves which may be utilised as an alternative to the axially extending grooves 5 of the filter of Figure l or the single annular circumferential groove 5' of the filter of Figure 3. In Figure 4 reference numeral lO denotes the mouth end of a filter plug 11. A first series has per.ipheral, parallel grooves 13 extending at a small angle to the axis of the plug 11 and the grooves 14 of a second, similar ~191065 series extend at substantially the same angle to the axis but with opposite hand. The two sets of grooves 13, 14 intersect to produce a reticular formation. As with the single series of grooves 5, each of the grooves 13, 14 has a region of decreasing depth in the direction towards and substantially up to the mouth end 10 of the plug 11~ In use the plug 11 is overwrapped by a wrapper (n~t shown) permitting ventilation air to flow into the grooves 13, 14 at upstream locations thereof and a smoke-spreading effect is achieved similar to that exhibited by the previousl~ described filters.
The wrapping means for the filter plug may comprise a plug wrapper of pervious nature on the 1~ plug exterior and a longer tipping of impervious nature overlying the plug wrapper and securing the filter plug to the tobacco rod 2. In this case the ventilation perforations need only be present in the impervious tipping.
The ilter plug may, if desired7 be formed as two sub-plugs one of which has the grooves 5, 13, 14 or the single circumferential groove 5' therein, the other sub-plug being plain.
If desired, the ventilation perforations may comprise a micro-perforated region of the tipping.

In this case the width of the grooves may be constant or it may increase or decrease in the direction towards the mouth end of the filter plug.
In order that th~ invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the diagrammatic drawing hereof, in which:-Fi~ure 1 shows a part view, in axial section, of a filter tipped cigarette, Figure 2 shows a mouth-end view of the filter of the cigarette of Figure 1, Figure 3 shows a mouth-end view of a filter of a somewhat different form from the filter shown in Figure 1 and 1~91065 Figure 4 shows a development view of a portion of the peripheral surface of a filter plug of another form.
The cigarette of Figure 1 comprises a rod 1 of cut tobacco enwrapped in cigarette paper 2, and a filter 3 comprising a self-sustaining filter plug 4 of fibrous cellulose acetate filtration material. At the periphery of the plug 4 there extend a number, eight as shown, of parallel, axially extending grooves 5 - see also Figure ~. As may be seen from Figure 1, the grooves 5, which extend from the mouth end of the plug 4 for a distance less than the full length of the plug, are so formed that the depth of each decreases towards and s~bstantially up to the mouth end of the plug. A

The surfaces of the grooves 5 may be rendered impervious.
Serving to secure the filter 3 to the cigarette rod 1, 2 is a tipping 7 which, in the portions where it overlies the grooves 5, defines, together with the walls of the grooves 5, airflow ducts 8. A row of ventilation perforations 9, shown in exaggerated form, in the tipping 7 encircles the plug 4 at a location overlying the ~1065 upstream end of the grooves 5, the arrangement being such that there is in communication with each of the airflow ducts 8 at least one of the perforations 9.
When the cigarette of Figure 1 is smoked, ambient air is drawn through ~he ventilation perforations 9 into the airflow ducts 8. The air passes al-ong the airflow ducts 8 to the outlet ends thereof unmixed, or substantially unmixed, with tobacco smoke. Since the depth of the grooves 5 partly defining the airflow ducts 8 decreases in the direction of flow of the ventilation air along the ducts 8, the air exits the ducts 8 into the smoker's mouth with a component of velocity directed radially outwardly. There is thus provided a divergent air stream which entrains smoke issuing from the mouth end of the filter plug 4 by a Coanda effect and so causes the smoke to come into contact with taste receptors over a comparatively wide region of the smoker's mouth. This is perceived by the smoker as an enhanced smoke character.
The filter~ a mouth-end view of which is shown in Figure 3, comprises a plug 4' which, instead of being provided with ~ number of longitudinally extending peripheral grooves, comprises a single annular circumferential groove 5'. In axial section of the plug 4', the groove 5' has a contour similar to the contour of the base of each of the grooves 5 of the plug 1~9~65 4 of Figure l. A stiff wrapper sleeve or mouthpiece 7', which may be formed of plastics material, encases the plug 4' and receives an end portion of a cigarette rod in a manner analogous with the tipping 7 of the cigarette shown in Figure l. The sleeve 7' requires to be stiff in order that the annular mouth-end opening, designated 6, of airflow duct 8', defined by the circumferential annular gro~ve 5' and the sleeve 7', remains open when the filter is in use.
The effect produced by the filter of Figure 3 is similar to that of the filter 3 of Figures l and 2.
Ambient air is drawn into the airflow duct 8' through perforations (not shown) in the wrapper or mouthpiece 7' and, because of the contour of the groove 5, the air enters the ~moker's mouth as a divergent stream which serves to cause smoke to impinge on an extended region of taste receptors.
Figure 4 shows, as a development view, a pattern of peripheral grooves which may be utilised as an alternative to the axially extending grooves 5 of the filter of Figure l or the single annular circumferential groove 5' of the filter of Figure 3. In Figure 4 reference numeral lO denotes the mouth end of a filter plug 11. A first series has per.ipheral, parallel grooves 13 extending at a small angle to the axis of the plug 11 and the grooves 14 of a second, similar ~191065 series extend at substantially the same angle to the axis but with opposite hand. The two sets of grooves 13, 14 intersect to produce a reticular formation. As with the single series of grooves 5, each of the grooves 13, 14 has a region of decreasing depth in the direction towards and substantially up to the mouth end 10 of the plug 11~ In use the plug 11 is overwrapped by a wrapper (n~t shown) permitting ventilation air to flow into the grooves 13, 14 at upstream locations thereof and a smoke-spreading effect is achieved similar to that exhibited by the previousl~ described filters.
The wrapping means for the filter plug may comprise a plug wrapper of pervious nature on the 1~ plug exterior and a longer tipping of impervious nature overlying the plug wrapper and securing the filter plug to the tobacco rod 2. In this case the ventilation perforations need only be present in the impervious tipping.
The ilter plug may, if desired7 be formed as two sub-plugs one of which has the grooves 5, 13, 14 or the single circumferential groove 5' therein, the other sub-plug being plain.
If desired, the ventilation perforations may comprise a micro-perforated region of the tipping.
