Definitions
- This invention relates to hand rolling and pipe tobacco generally sold packed in pouches made from polythene, sealed and overwrapped with a film. This has a two-fold purpose
- the pouches are usually made from polythene or similar materials, they are printed and formed to a pouch by heat sealing.
- the overwrap is usually a clear film such as polypropylene.
- An object of the present invention is to enable pouches to be made on a vertical machine.
- a smoker's article comprises a quantity of tobacco wrapped and heat sealed in a plastics envelope which is completely enclosed inside the whole of a pouch which is closed and sealed so that no part of the envelope extends outside any part of the pouch.
- the invention includes a method of packaging tobacco which consists in feeding plastics sheeting on a vertical type machine, incorporating successive portions of tobacco in envelopes made from this sheeting, heat sealing the envelopes, forming a pouch around each envelope, and sealing the pouch.
- the pouch may be sealed by heat sealing or by applying a self adhesive tab.
- the polypropylene or similar sheeting is fed off a roll and formed into a vertical tube which is sealed on horizontal sealing lines periodically and fed with tobacco between the sealing lines.
- the known pouch as made on a horizontal machine comprises a pouch 10, having a self-adhesive closure tab 11, and an outer thin plastics envelope 11 which is heat sealed both longitudinally and at its ends and eventually discarded by the user while he continues to use the pouch.
- the pouch of the present invention comprises an inner envelope 15 of thin plastics heat sealable material which is heat sealed longitudinally and at its ends and located within a pouch 16 of more substantial material (e.g., polythene or laminated materials).
- the pouch in this example is sealed by a separate self sealing tab 17.
- the pouch may be a polythene or laminated sheet with printing.
- a sheet 20 of thin plastics. material e.g., polypropylene is fed from a roll 21 to a vertical tube former 22.
- the vertical tube is sealed by a heat sealer 25 forming a vertical seam.
- Tobacco is fed at 24 into the tube at intervals and the tube is moved down step by step and sealed by double seals as at 27, 28 by heat sealing devices 29, 30.
- a tear strip may be included and fed from a roll 21A together with the sheet 20.
- the envelopes are separated by cutters 31.
- the envelopes are fed by a conveyer 32 to a wrapping device 33 in which each envelope is wrapped in a pouch which is closed by the sealing tab.
- a vertical pouch wrapping machine may be used directly below the envelope wrapping machine.
- an operator may insert the sealed envelopes into pre-made pouches or the sealed envelopes may be inserted by automatic means into pre-made pouches.
- the envelopes are preferably made of thin plastics material which can be torn by means of a tear strip whereas the pouches are preferably made of thicker material and may be closed by a pull-off strip or tab
