Definitions

  • This embodiment may be fabricated using existing cigarette making equipment, which is commercially available and known to those skilled in the art, with only minor modifications.
  • the openings in the tipping paper and the underlying layers may be made employing any conventional means such as electrostatic discharge apparatus, mechanical perforation apparatus, or a laser perforation system.
  • the openings may be made either before or after assembly.
  • the first segment 7 is moved axially towards the second segment 3 either by a longitudinally acting force which may be applied by holding the cigarette rod and tapping the protruding end of the first segment 7, or by grasping the protruding end and rotating it.
  • This movement compresses the plug wrap 9 which overlies the void 8 as shown in Fig. 10, thereby decreasing the volume of the void 8 and varying the resistance to draw value of the cigarette.
  • This movement also varies the degree of registry of the openings 27 and 29 thereby varying the air dilution value of the cigarette.
  • These openings may be formed and positioned in any of the ways discussed in connection with the first embodiment.
  • the various modifications discussed in connection with the first embodiment are also applicable to the third embodiment.
