Short-term cigarette with a holding portion formed in particular by a filter (1) and a tobacco rod having smoke section (2), characterized characterized in that the tobacco rod has a maximum length 2 cm and is shorter than the holding portion (1).

Description

The The invention relates to a short-term cigarette with a particular formed by a filter holding portion and a tobacco rod having smoke section.

From the DE 102 11 672 A1 is a short-term cigarette known. This is produced by dividing a longer cigarette. For this purpose, the cigarettes have predetermined breaking points which can be designed as perforations.

Also the DE 36 09 894 addresses the problem that many smokers of filter cigarettes only want to smoke a few puffs per cigarette. This document also describes cigarettes of the standard length, which can be halved by breaking in the form of a predetermined breaking point.

Of the Invention is based on the object, the aforementioned short-term cigarette to develop further technically.

Solved The object is achieved by the specified in the claims Invention. First and foremost, it is intended that the tobacco rod only a maximum length of 2 cm and is shorter than the holding portion which is preferably formed by a filter. This has the consequence that the cigarette actually only burns for 1 to 2 minutes, so the amount of tobacco actually only for a few moves is sufficient. In addition, need such cigarettes no longer of a pre-made, the standard length appropriate strand to be divided. The cigarettes can be taken ready to use the pack. Depending on usage habits The smoker can make the tobacco strands different Varieties are different in length. For example, it can be provided that the tobacco rod a maximum of 1 cm or 1.5 cm having. The length of the tobacco rod defines the number to the possible trains. It has proven to be beneficial exposed when the filter or the trained by the filter Holding section in which there is no tobacco, longer is the standard filter for standard cigarettes. This facilitates lighting the smoker. Preferably, the holding section has a length of 2.5 cm or 3 cm. The cigarette has thus a total length between 4 cm and 6 cm, preferred about 5 cm.

The Cigarette length is chosen so that in one in a vending machine matching standard cigarette pack two Cigarettes arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction can be. In a pack, in the twenty standard cigarettes go in, so go forty short-term cigarettes into it. In a Alternative is provided that the cigarettes are not parallel to the Long side of the cigarette pack, but parallel to Broad side of the cigarette pack lie. In this design corresponds the width of the cigarette pack the length of the cigarette. These cigarette packs also have the standard size, to be distributed through vending machines.

embodiments The invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it:

1 a schematic representation of a short-term cigarette according to a first embodiment,

2 a schematic representation of a short-term cigarette according to a second embodiment,

3 in a schematic representation of a filled cigarette packet of a first embodiment and

4 a schematic representation of a filled cigarette packet of a second embodiment.

In the 1 The cigarette shown has a holding section 1 of a length of 2.5 cm to which a tobacco rod 2 followed by a length of 2 cm. The holding section 1 can be formed by a tube. However, the holding section is preferably formed by a filter material.

In the in the 2 illustrated embodiment, the holding portion 1 the cigarette also longer than the smoke section 2 , The length of the tobacco rod in this embodiment is about 1.5 cm and the length of the holding section 3 cm.

at an embodiment not shown the length of the tobacco rod is only slightly more than 1 cm.

At the in 3 illustrated cigarette pack is the length L between 8 cm and 10 cm, the width between 5 cm and 7 cm and the height between 2 cm and 3 cm. In this embodiment, the cigarettes are juxtaposed. The extension direction of the cigarettes corresponds to the broadside direction B.

In the 4 The cigarette packet shown has similar dimensions as in 3 illustrated cigarette pack. Here are the cigarettes in a known manner parallel to the longitudinal direction L. However, here are two cigarettes in a row.

In the in the 3 illustrated embodiment, the cigarettes have a length corresponding to the width B of the cigarette pack. In one embodiment, not shown, the length of a cigarette corresponds to half the width of the cigarette pack, so that two cigarettes in the broadside direction B can be behind each other.

At the in 4 illustrated embodiment, the cigarette length corresponds to half of the package length L. In an embodiment, not shown, the length of the cigarette corresponds to one third of the length of the cigarette pack, so that in the longitudinal direction L three cigarettes can be behind each other.

typically, cigarette packs have an aspect ratio of 3: 2. A cigarette box whose width is between 5,8 cm and 6 cm and whose length is between 8,5 cm and 9 cm, can vary with cigarettes, whose length is 2.9 cm be filled. So it is possible the pack with cigarettes lying parallel to the widthwise extension direction to fill. Then there are two cigarettes in a row. Alternatively, the cigarettes but also in parallel lie to the longitudinal side extension in the pack. Then There are three cigarettes in a row.

All disclosed features are essential to the invention (in itself). In the disclosure of the application is hereby also the disclosure content the associated / attached priority documents (Copy of the advance notice) fully included, too for the purpose, features of these documents in claims present Registration with.
