Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for making smoking articles, smoking articles, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing smoking articles having a reduced ignition propensity. A method of manufacturing a smoking article includes the steps of providing a filter element (40) and at least one rod (30) of smokeable material surrounded by a wrapper, wrapping a section of tipping paper (12A) around the filter element and a portion of the at least one wrapped rod and applying one or more patches (12B1, 12B2) of material to the outer surface of the wrapper. The patches can be arranged to reduce the ignition propensity of the smoking article and are applied to the outside of the wrapper, such that this can occur online during manufacture of the wrapped rod.

Claims (24)

1. A method of manufacturing a smoking article comprising:

providing a filter element, and at least one rod of smokeable material surrounded by a wrapper;
wrapping a section of tipping paper around the filter element and a portion of the at least one wrapped rod; and applying one or more patches of material to the outer surface of the wrapper.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the step of applying the one or more patches of material to the wrapper of the at least one wrapped rod is performed in association with the step of wrapping the section of tipping paper around the filter element and an end of the at least one wrapped rod.
3. A method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the one or more patches comprise a low porosity or non porous web material.
4. A method according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the one or more patches comprise a web material having a permeability of about 50CU or less.
5. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the one or more patches are bands applied around the full circumference of the at least one wrapped rod.
6. A method according to claim 5, wherein each band is applied such that the mouth-end side of the band is within the 50% of the length of the rod which is closest to the filter element.
7. A method according to claim 5 or 6, wherein the application includes applying a second band to each rod simultaneously to the application of the first band.
8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the second band is applied such that the mouth-end side of the second band is within the 50% of the length of the rod which is furthest from the filter element.
9. A method according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the one or patches comprise a patch having a window which exposes a region of the outer surface of the wrapper.
10. A method according to claim 9, wherein said patch comprises a plurality of said windows.
11. A method according to claim 9 or 10, wherein said patch extends substantially from an edge of the tipping paper to an end of the rod of smokeable material which is furthest from the filter.
12. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein providing a filter element and at least one rod of smokeable material surrounded by a wrapper comprises providing first and second rods of smokeable material surrounded by wrappers, and a filter element interposed between the first and second rods, and wherein the method further comprises cutting the filter element to form two smoking articles after application of the one or more patches.
13. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising splitting tipping paper from a roll to form both the patches and the section to be applied to the filter element and the ends of the wrapped rods.
14. A smoking article comprising:

a rod of smokeable material surrounded by a wrapper;
a filter element at one end of the wrapped rod;

a tipping paper surrounding the filter element and a portion of the wrapped rod;
and a patch of material applied to the outer surface of the wrapper.
15. A smoking article according to claim 14, wherein the patch comprises a low porosity or non porous web material.
16. A smoking article according to claim 15, wherein the patch comprise a web material having a permeability of about 50CU or less.
17. A smoking article according to any one of claims 14 to 16, wherein the patch is a band applied around the full circumference of the wrapped rod.
18. A smoking article according to claim 17, wherein the band is spaced from an edge of the tipping paper.
19. A smoking article according to claim 17 or 18, wherein the band is at least 4mm wide.
20. A smoking article according to claim 19, wherein the band is at least 6mm wide.
21. A smoking article according to any one of claims 14 to 16, wherein the patch comprises a window which exposes a region of the outer surface of the wrapper.
22. A smoking article according to claim 21, wherein the patch comprises a plurality of said windows.
23. A smoking article according to claim 20 or 21, wherein the patch extends substantially from an edge of the tipping paper to an end of the rod of smokeable material which is furthest from the filter.
24. A smoking article according to any one of claims 14 to 20, wherein the material is the same as the tipping paper.
