Abstract

The invention relates to a system for producing home-made filter cigarettes, consisting of a) a cigarette paper wrapper (10) with filter tip (12, 14), b) a tobacco cartridge (2) which is severed by a cutting step from a tobacco rod and prefabricated in the factory and consists of a tobacco portion (4) which is open at the end face, corresponds to the tobacco filling of a finished cigarette and can be introduced into a cigarette paper wrapper and whose outer surface is formed by a wrapper (6) which consists of completely smokable material and has an air permeability such that it cannot be smoked as such but is consumable by smoking after it has been introduced into the cigarette paper wrapper (10), characterised in that the tobacco cartridge has different diameters (16, 16') in different zones and that these consist of different tobacco mixtures. <IMAGE>

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a filter-type hand-held cigarette system consisting of a cigarette paper tube with a filtering mouthpiece and a tobacco cartridge which is fabricated by a cut from a tobacco strand and which is filled with tobacco corresponding to the finished cigarette and retractable as a tobacco dose into a cigarette paper tube. the skin of which is made of an air-permeable casing made of a completely smokeable material and which is not feasible in itself, but can be consumed by smoking after being introduced into the cigarette paper tube.

Background Art

Tobacco cartridges for hand-made cigarettes by twisting them are known from DE-PS 889 578, NL-PS 6 703 935a, and further by twisting and stuffing into cavities from DE-OS 3 244 906 and further by DE-U-8 326 921 and DE-A-3 244 906. All of these cartridges are based on the fact that its perimeter or shell is made of a completely smelly material, but is permeable to air so that the cartridge itself is not exorbitant, but is consumed by the vigorous smoking up to the right. into a cigarette paper tube.

The same tobacco cartridge is designed as a system proposed in DE-OS 3 407 461 or EU-A-0 155 514, which, in addition to the customary stability of a factory-prepared cartridge in terms of length and cross-section, is designed to fit close to the inner flat cigarette paper. hollows.

The disadvantage of such systems, in which the tobacco cartridge, in particular 34 07 461, has to be adapted to the cigarette paper cavity with the filter plug, is that the consumer does not have the possibility to influence the cigarettes that are manufactured in a customary manner. - 2

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to propose a system of the aforementioned type in which the consumer has the freedom to influence the measurement of the taste of the self-made cigarette. Another object of the present invention is to propose a system in which tobacco is spared for the benefit of the consumer and a wide variety of flavor mixtures can be used.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a system according to the characteristic of the first claim is proposed, with particular embodiments being disclosed in the further claims.

Surprisingly, the tobacco cartridge of the present invention allows the cigarette maker to change the main flue gas flow through the choice of the tobacco tray and thereby also influence the odor of the cigarette.

By means of the shape of the tobacco cartridge, it is possible to direct or swirl the main smoke stream from the tobacco cartridge on request, which can be appropriately reinforced by perforating the surface of the cigarette between the cigarette paper wrapper and the mouthpiece cover.

A further advantage of reducing the cross-section and the fact that the cigarette cartridge is not adapted to the cigarette casing with respect to the diameter is to form an area that is not filled with tobacco, and where the smoke flows upward or in the immediate vicinity of the filter rod enclosed by the wrapper a fully filter gag of the lower carcass of the attached cigarette paper wrapper. Since the consumer never smokes his cigarette exactly to the edge of the filter gag and approximately 13% or more of the tobacco strand tobacco is disposed of when the cigarette is extruded in today's commercially available tubing, thereby forming a cigarette. by reducing the cross-section of the tobacco cartridge in the area of the filter rod, the empty area of the tobacco-free container that would be thrown away anyway. - 3 -

To overcome the drawback of offering a smaller amount of tobacco, it is possible not to use 30 but, for example, 32 tobacco cartridges, taking into account the smallest amount of e.g. Consumer Protection.

This reduction in tobacco is due to both the reduction in the area of the mouthpiece and the corresponding recess of the lower central region of the tobacco cartridge, which also allows for an increase in the number of tobacco cartridges from, for example, 30 to 32 patron in a pack of 25g fine cut tobacco. List of drawings in the drawing

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows a cross-section of a self-made cigarette according to the invention, FIG. 2 is a section analogous to FIG. 1 with a different tobacco cartridge. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the cigarette shown in FIG. 1, the tobacco tray 2 consists of a tobacco batch 4 which is surrounded by an air permeable casing 6 whose permeability is determined such that the tobacco cartridge 2 itself is not able to smoke, but can be consumed by smoking. The cigarette paper tube 10 is provided with a filter plug 12 and a mouthpiece cover paper 14.

The tobacco cartridge 2 has, as is conventional, a smaller diameter cigarette paper sleeve 10, so that it can be inserted into the sleeve. According to the invention, the tobacco cartridge 2 is provided with areas 16 whose diameter is 5 to 25% and preferably 10% less than the diameter of the tobacco cartridge 2. This smaller diameter region may lie between the center of the tobacco cartridge 2 and the region of the mouthpiece, and in one embodiment may form an insertion portion of the tobacco cartridge 2, and may be introduced as far as the filter bag as shown in Figure 1. In another embodiment, the smaller diameter region 16 * as indicated in Fig. 2 may be provided in the central region or in the first third of the tobacco cartridge 2. The manufacture of such tobacco cartridges 2 may be performed by existing devices where the tobacco rod may be within the respective distances. on its diameter it is reduced, separated after wrapping, and the trays can be aligned in the same way after the respective sections have been inverted. In another conventional manufacturing method, analogous to the cigarette filter manufacturing method, the regions of the cartridge cartridge 2 can be reduced in diameter, made separately and then bonded, optionally wrapped with conventional diameter tobacco cartridge strands and then appropriately divided.

Zvláš? The tobacco cartridge 2 regions produced with a smaller diameter may comprise other, preferably cost-effective, tobacco blends than the tobacco cartridge 2. Preferably, the length of the region 16 with a smaller diameter is four times the diameter of the cigarette paper tube 10, thereby reducing In addition to the desired savings in the lower region, the lower region will create an advantageous flow ratio, especially for cigarettes that are ventilated in this area. Particularly preferred is the difference in diameter between the tobacco cartridge 2 and the area 16 with a smaller diameter of about 0.5 mm.

Industrial usability «

The invention is applicable to the tobacco industry.
