Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tobacco product consisting of a pre-portioned tobacco supply, which is surrounded by cigarette paper like a sleeve, and a method and an apparatus for producing a cigarette using the pre-portioned tobacco supply.
  • the press chamber is delimited by a piston-like tobacco ejection slide, by means of which the tobacco supply can be transferred from the press chamber to the cigarette tube (see, for example, DG-OS 2 833 681; DE-PS 2 139 242; DE-PS 2 064 641; AT-PS 146 213; FR-PS 427 582; US-PS 638 904 or DE-OS 3 135 700).
  • a half-shell-shaped spoon can also be attached to the effective end of the ejection slide, which supports the transfer of the tobacco supply from the pressing chamber into the cigarette tube while at the same time maintaining its stability.
  • CA-PS 771 426 a device for transferring a tobacco supply from a cylindrical envelope into an auxiliary packaging is known, which should be usable in pipes. In this way, manual pipe plugging should be avoided. The cleaning of the pipes should also be made easier by simply removing the auxiliary packaging with the smoke residues.
  • a tobacco product for self-manufacture of cigarettes by the consumer is proposed in both DE-GM 8 326 921 and DE-GM 8 309 186, which is characterized by a non-smokable prefabricated product in the form of a manufacturing product
  • Prefabricated tobacco cartridge consisting of an open-ended strand casing with the diameter of the cigarette paper sleeve of the finished cigarette and a strand-like tobacco filling, each corresponding to a cigarette portion, which can be transferred from the strand casing into an empty cigarette paper sleeve by an associated piston adapted to the inside diameter of the strand sleeve.
  • This tobacco product is suitable for use in connection with conventional self-filling cigarette tubes as well as in connection with conventional self-rolling papers.
  • the consumer is provided with a precisely metered quantity of tobacco in the form of a cigarette tobacco cartridge, which corresponds to the filling quantity of a conventional industrial consumer cigarette, the tobacco filling of which in a simple manner in a prefabricated cigarette tube of a commercially available type or in a self-rolling device - Cigarette paper leaflets glued cigarette tube can be transferred.
  • the tobacco cartridge has a covering, namely a strand casing, made of non-smokable material.
  • the strand casing represents a superfluous one-time use Aids.
  • further aids are required for transferring the pre-portioned tobacco supply from the strand casing into the cigarette paper casing, at least one ejection slide. The handling of the same without further aids for inserting the filled tobacco cartridge into the empty cigarette paper tube and holding the strand casing of the tobacco cartridge when transferring the tobacco supply should pose difficulties even for experienced in-house cigarette manufacturers.
  • the present invention is based on the object of improving the latter proposal in such a way that the tobacco product is only composed of smokable components with the exception of a possible filter and the self-manufacture of cigarettes from these components is also possible in principle without aids, such as ejection slides or the like is.
  • the invention similar to the proposal according to DE-GM 8 309 186, creates a system for self-manufacturing of cigarettes by the consumer, which technically and economically optimally takes advantage of the highly developed, largely automated industrial cigarette manufacturing technology for the needs of the increasing number of self-rolling or self-tampering by providing them with a preliminary product suitable for the problem-free completion of the cigarette by the consumer.
  • the invention is further characterized by the fact that apparatus aids for the in-house production of cigarettes are not absolutely necessary and that in particular the industrially prefabricated preliminary products with the exception of the filter - if such a filter is provided or desired - are completely smokable, ie consist of smokable materials. This eliminates the need for disposable aids. It is also no longer necessary to transfer the tobacco supply from the strand casing into the cigarette paper casing, which definitely requires a certain skill, especially if suitable aids or devices are not available for this.
  • the effects of moisture on the tobacco supply no longer play a role in the invention when it is transferred to a prefabricated cigarette paper tube.
  • the tobacco supply according to the invention always retains its original shape. If in the known systems the tobacco supply has become too dry due to storage, weather or climate, it cannot be compressed in a predetermined manner by transferring it from the strand casing into a prefabricated cigarette paper sleeve by means of an ejection slide, with the result that a so-called tobacco beard protrudes from the cigarette paper sleeve . On the other hand, if the tobacco supply is too moist, it is compressed too strongly by the ejection slide when it is transferred from the strand casing into the cigarette paper casing. The front end portion of the cigarette paper sleeve is then without tobacco. The goal of obtaining a cigarette corresponding to the industrially manufactured cigarette by in-house production has not been achieved.
  • the tobacco rod should have maximum air permeability along its circumferential surface. It only has to be guaranteed that the tobacco supply, which is loose per se, is held together in a dimensionally stable manner
  • a filter piece of a conventional type can be attached to an end of the tobacco rod.
  • the last-mentioned designs of the tobacco rod are particularly suitable for conventional tamping devices for cigarette paper tubes with a compression chamber in which the tobacco rod is radially compressed to approximately the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube before being transferred into the cigarette paper tube. Compression is preferably carried out to an outer diameter of the tobacco rod which is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cigarette paper tube. Within the cigarette paper tube, the tobacco rod can then fill itself up with radial expansion, so that it is kept safe and smoke-appropriate.
  • the embodiment according to claim 9 is also particularly worth mentioning, according to which the tobacco receiving space of the cigarette paper tube has a greater length than the tobacco rod, namely preferably a length which corresponds to an integral multiple of the length of the tobacco rod.
  • the cigarette paper tube is then filled by at least two tobacco rod sections each of approximately the same length.
  • the smoker can determine his consumption from the outset, i.e. H. Reduce to a predetermined fraction, for example half, by filling the cigarette paper tube with, for example, only one section of tobacco rod and cutting off, preferably tearing off, the excess cigarette paper. If the consumer wants to smoke only a part of conventional cigarettes, the rest of the cigarettes are inevitably lost.
  • the tobacco rod can also have a greater length than the tobacco receiving space of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the tobacco rod is preferably at least twice as long as the tobacco receiving space of a cigarette paper tube, so that at least two cigarette paper tubes can be pushed onto the tobacco rod and the tobacco rod can be separated at the joint of the two cigarette paper tubes. In this way, at least two cigarettes can be self-made at the same time.
  • a prefabricated cigarette paper tube is particularly suitable for a funnel-like tube, which can be attached with its smaller diameter end to the front opening of the cigarette paper tube, the Inner diameter of this end is approximately the same, preferably slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the insertion funnel represents a very simple aid.
  • a further relief is achieved in that the insertion funnel has at its smaller diameter end a cylindrical sleeve section which can be inserted into the front opening of the cigarette paper sleeve.
  • the length of the cylindrical sleeve section is preferably such that it is possible to clamp the cigarette paper sleeve pushed over the sleeve section between two fingers, preferably between the index finger and thumb, when inserting the tobacco rod into the cigarette paper sleeve without any problems.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical sleeve section is slightly tapered towards the free end or towards the end facing away from the funnel section, thereby facilitating the insertion of the sleeve section into the cigarette paper sleeve.
  • the insertion funnel has, on the inside, a device that slits or tears open the tobacco rod on its circumferential surface when inserted into the cigarette paper tube, in the form of one or more inwardly protruding knives, needle-like projections, or the like, can be formed.
  • the loose tobacco supply will expand somewhat radially within the cigarette paper tube and be held securely within the cigarette paper tube.
  • the insertion funnel can also have a supply, preferably a capillary-type supply, for a wetting liquid, for example water, with a connection to the inside of the insertion funnel for the purpose of wetting the insertion funnel pushed through tobacco rod.
  • a wetting liquid for example water
  • the tobacco rod can be designed to be somewhat tapered at least on one of its end sections. Then an insertion funnel of the type described is even less required.
  • the tobacco rod designed according to the invention can also be used without problems in conventional stuffing devices and self-turning devices. This is neither provided nor possible with tobacco cartridges with strand casings made of non-smokable material.
  • the insertion funnel 18 comprises a funnel section 19 and a cylindrical end 20 at its smaller diameter Sleeve section 21, on which a prefabricated filter cigarette paper sleeve 11 is pushed.
  • the length of the sleeve section 21 is about 8 to 12, preferably about 10 mm, so that the pushed-on cigarette paper sleeve 11 comfortably between two fingers, preferably index finger 22 and thumb 23, on the sleeve section 21 or insertion funnel 18 during the insertion of the tobacco rod 10 into the still Empty cigarette paper tube 11 can be clamped or held.
  • the tobacco rod 10 is inserted into the cigarette paper tube 11 in the direction of the arrow "P".
  • the filter assigned to the cigarette paper tube 11 is identified by the reference number 12.
  • the knife-like projections 24 on the inside of the cigarette or at the end of the cylindrical sleeve portion 21 facing away from the funnel section 19, which slit the jacket or peripheral surface of the prefabricated tobacco rod 10 through the insertion funnel 18 when it is inserted into the cigarette paper tube 11 , so that the tobacco supply can expand radially outward within the tobacco receiving space of the cigarette paper tube 11, as a result of which it is held securely and snugly in the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • two diametrically arranged cutting knives 24 are provided. Basically, a single cutting knife is sufficient.
  • three cutting knives are provided, which are distributed approximately uniformly over the circumference and are each designed like a razor blade.
  • needle-like projections can also be used to slit or tear open the jacket or peripheral surface.
  • the tobacco rod 10 is held together by the tobacco fibers, which are inherently smokable binders, to form a dimensionally stable tobacco rod with a circular cross section. A slight radial expansion of the tobacco rod within the Cigarette paper sleeve to ensure a secure hold of the same in the cigarette paper sleeve.
  • the outer lateral surface of the sleeve section 21 is preferably slightly tapered towards the free end.
  • the wall thickness of at least the cylindrical sleeve section 21 is dimensioned minimal. It is approximately 0.15 to 0.3 mm.
  • the dimensional stability of the sleeve section 21 is ensured by the circular cross-sectional shape and the connection to the funnel section 19, which preferably has a somewhat larger wall thickness.
  • the insertion funnel 18 can be made of stainless steel sheet or plastic.
  • the inside transition between the cylindrical sleeve section 21 and the funnel section 19 (in the region of the smaller-diameter end 20 of the funnel section 19) is rounded off, so that the tobacco rod 10 can be easily inserted into the cigarette paper sleeve 11 through the insertion funnel 18.
  • an outer ring flange 25 is provided, which serves as a stop for the cigarette paper sleeve 11 pushed over the sleeve section 21.
  • FIG. 2 shows an industrially prefabricated, dimensionally stable tobacco rod 10 in association with a likewise industrially prefabricated cigarette paper tube 11 with a filter 12.
  • the tobacco rod 10 should only consist of tobacco fibers which are held together by a conventional type of binder to form a dimensionally stable tobacco rod.
  • the outside diameter of the tobacco rod is chosen to be somewhat larger than the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube 11, preferably about 5 to 10% larger, so that it can be transferred into the cigarette paper tube 11 with radial compression is.
  • the tobacco rod is placed in a press chamber 26 of a conventional stuffing device for cigarette paper tubes, compressed in the radial direction, ie brought to an outside diameter that is preferably slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • the tobacco rod is longitudinally divided, the cross section of each part corresponding to a preferably straight part of the cross section of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the tobacco rod can be composed of two rod halves, three or more rod segments or rod sleeves pushed into one another. Two, three or more strand parts must then be used in a corresponding manner to fill the cigarette paper tube.
  • the cross section of the tobacco rod corresponds to a multiple of the cross section of the cigarette paper tube, for example twice, in which case the tobacco rod preferably has the cross section of an "8".
  • the tobacco rod is broken apart along a connecting web or the like, so that two individual tobacco rods arise, which each serve to fill a cigarette paper tube, but are better wrapped with a rolling paper due to the burr that may arise.
  • the tobacco rod comprises three or more individual tobacco rods, which are arranged in a star shape or around a central tobacco rod.
  • the tobacco rod (10) has a cross section in the form of a polygon, in particular triangle, quadrangle, hexagon, or in the form of an oval, trapezoid or the like, preferably in such a way that the tobacco rod thus formed has a cross section of the cigarette tube can be brought substantially uniformly filling cross-section, in particular compressible (for example in the press chamber 26 according to FIG. 2).
  • the system according to the invention has the following advantages: - Exact tobacco pre-portioning through industrial production; - constant taste; - constant smoking behavior (smoking time, draft); - constant predetermined pollutant content based on a particular cigarette paper tube; - In-house production of cigarettes using a conventional stuffing device for cigarette paper tubes; - no strand casing as a disposable part; and - cheaper tax assessment compared to industrially manufactured cigarettes.
  • the system according to the invention is also suitable, for example, for the in-house production of cigars or the like.
