The drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention. Other embodiments of the present invention and many of the attendant advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description.
It is to be understood that common and/or well-understood elements that may be useful or necessary in a commercially feasible embodiment are not necessarily depicted in order to facilitate a less obstructed view of these embodiments. The elements of the drawings are not necessarily to scale relative to each other. It will further be appreciated that certain actions and/or steps in the method embodiments may be described or depicted in a particular order of occurrence while those skilled in the art will understand that such specificity with respect to sequence is not actually required. It will also be understood that the terms and expressions used in the specification have the ordinary meaning as is accorded to such terms and expressions with respect to their corresponding respective areas of inquiry and study except where specific meanings have otherwise been set forth herein.
Detailed Description
As used herein, the term "heated tobacco product" or "heated non-combustible product" includes all tobacco products that produce an aerosol containing nicotine and other chemicals to be inhaled by a user. Heating the tobacco product simulates the behavior of smoking a conventional cigarette. For consumption of heated tobacco products, specially designed electronic heating systems are used to contain therein samples of heated tobacco products for heating and forming aerosols. To generate the aerosol, the heating system heats the tobacco contained in the heated tobacco product to a temperature below the ignition temperature of the tobacco mixture such that compounds of the tobacco mixture are vaporized and transported within the heating system towards a user inhaling the vapor/aerosol.
As used herein, the term "tobacco product" may include any "heated tobacco product" or "heated non-combustible product" as detailed above. The term "tobacco product" may also include any ready-to-use combustible tobacco product designed to be smoked by combustion of tobacco material contained in the product, including cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, round-tipped cigarillos (blunt), and hand cigarettes.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a schematic diagram illustrating the functional blocks of a tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10. The tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10 may comprise, in particular, a tobacco product rod making machine 1. This rod making machine 1 produces rods of shredded tobacco material wrapped with wrapping paper. The tobacco product rods produced by the rod making machine 1 are automatically transferred to the filter treatment sub-assembly 2a of the filter tipping assembly 2 downstream of the tobacco product rod making machine 1, for example using a suitable transfer device.
During the manufacturing process, the rod making machine 1 can produce single-length or double-length rods of tobacco products as semi-finished products. Single or double length rods are transferred in their entirety to the filter treatment subassembly 2 a. During transfer, the double length tobacco product rods may optionally be split at their centers. The separate double length tobacco product rods may be provided with a double length filter interposed between two resulting single length rods. Alternatively, if a single length of tobacco product rod is transferred to the filter handling subassembly 2a, a tobacco product filter may be attached to one end of the single length of tobacco product rod.
In any case, the filter handling subassembly 2a is further designed to wrap wrapping paper around a single length tobacco rod, or a separate double length tobacco rod, to which a tobacco product filter is attached. The wrapping paper used in the filter handling subassembly 2a is also referred to as "tipping paper" because it covers both the wrapping paper wrapped around the raw tobacco rod and any plug wrap wrapped around the filter element.
In the case of a double length tobacco product rod, the double length filter is then cut at its midpoint to produce two complete tobacco products, such as filter-attached cigarettes or heated non-burning rods. The separated manufactured tobacco products may then be aligned in their orientation and may be transferred to a downstream packaging assembly 3 of the tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10.
In the manufacture of tobacco products, different paper types are used, such as plug wrap, rod wrap or tipping paper. Tipping paper may be used to wrap the filter and tobacco rod integrally. In order to wrap the rod-shaped semifinished product (raw tobacco rod, filter or combination of filter and tobacco rod) with any type of wrapping paper, the length of the wrapping paper is selected to be slightly longer than the circumference of the rod-shaped semifinished product. In this way, the two opposite ends of the length of wrapping paper will be superimposed on top of each other at the section of the bar-shaped blank. At this section (also referred to as the "wrapping portion"), the two ends may be glued to each other. The adhesive may already be applied to one end of any type of wrapping paper.
The filter tipping assembly 2 further comprises a parallel wrap note handling subassembly 4 mounted in the filter tipping assembly 2 and coupled to the filter handling subassembly 2 a. The wrapping paper handling assembly 4 may be, in particular, a tipping paper handling assembly configured for pre-treating tipping paper in parallel with the production of the remaining semi-finished tobacco product, i.e. treating the tipping paper substantially simultaneously and just in parallel with the processing of the semi-finished tobacco product.
With the wrapping paper handling sub-assembly 4, any type of wrapping paper for tobacco products can be handled in parallel. The wrapping paper handling subassembly 4 may include various subassemblies that may apply an embossed pattern, fragrance, and/or printed indicia to the wrapping paper, and apply a graphical pattern to the wrapping paper. The built-in solution of the wrapping paper handling subassembly 4 may advantageously replace any independent equipment in which any type of wrapping paper needs to be pre-treated before feeding the wrapping paper to the tobacco product manufacturing apparatus.
In the exemplary configuration of fig. 1, the wrapping sheet handling assembly 4 includes a supply roll 6 configured to hold a continuous web of wrapping sheet. Downstream of the supply roll 6, a wrapping paper handling unit 7 is arranged and configured for receiving a continuous web of wrapping paper from the supply roll. The wrapping paper handling unit 7 may be used to handle wrapping paper to apply embossing, printing and/or flavouring to a continuous web of wrapping paper. The correspondingly processed roll of wrapping paper may be transferred to a wrapping paper feeder 5 mounted in the filter tipping assembly 2. The embossed, printed and/or seasoned roll of wrapping paper may be fed to a filter handling subassembly 2a for further processing.
In certain variations, the wrapping paper comprises tipping paper, particularly when the parallel wrapping paper handling assembly 4 is a parallel tipping paper handling assembly. In some variations, the wrapping paper handling unit 7 may in such cases be a tipping paper seasoning unit, and the wrapping paper feeder 5 may be a tipping paper feeder. In some variations, the tipping paper printing unit 8 may be further included in the side-by-side wrap sheet handling assembly 4. The tipping paper printing unit 8 may be configured to imprint a graphic printing indicia on the continuous web of tipping paper from the supply reel 6.
In some variations, the side-by-side wrapping paper handling assembly 4 further includes a tipping paper embossing unit 9 therein. The tipping paper embossing unit 9 may be configured for embossing a continuous web of tipping paper from the supply reel 6.
The parallel tipping paper handling assembly 4 may further comprise a tipping paper splicing unit 6a coupled upstream of the tipping paper seasoning unit 7. The tipping paper splicing unit 6a may cut the continuous web of tipping paper from the supply roll in half so that two separate webs of tipping paper of desired length and/or width may be flavoured simultaneously in the tipping paper flavouring unit 7.
In addition, a tipping paper gluing unit 7a may be provided downstream of the tipping paper seasoning unit 7. The tipping paper gluing unit 7a may be used to apply adhesive to the flavoured tipping paper, in particular in the wrapped portion of the flavoured tipping paper web.
Figure 2 schematically illustrates a flow diagram of stages of a method M for manufacturing tobacco products (e.g. cigarettes or heated non-combustible products). Method M comprises a first phase M1: a continuous web of wrapping paper is unwound from a supply reel 6 of the wrapping paper handling sub-assembly 4 of the filter tipping assembly 2. The tobacco product manufacturing apparatus used in connection with method M may be, for example, a tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10 as described and illustrated with reference to fig. 1.
In the second stage M2, the wrapping sheets are processed, i.e. flavoured, embossed and/or printed, in the wrapping sheet handling assembly 4. The treated wrapping paper is then fed to the filter tipping assembly 2 of the tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10 in a third stage M3. The wrapping paper may comprise tipping paper in particular, and the wrapping paper handling assembly 4 may comprise a side-by-side tipping paper handling assembly of the tobacco product manufacturing apparatus 10 in particular. The method M of fig. 2 may advantageously allow parallel processing of tipping paper in a tobacco product manufacturing facility, such as the tobacco product manufacturing facility 10 of fig. 1.
