Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tobacco product for the self-manufacture of a cigarette, in particular filter cigarette according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method for the self-manufacture of a cigarette, in particular filter cigarette using such a tobacco product.
  • the bale chamber is delimited by a piston-like tobacco ejection slide, by means of which the tobacco supply can be transferred from the bale chamber into the cigarette tube.
  • a piston-like tobacco ejection slide by means of which the tobacco supply can be transferred from the bale chamber into the cigarette tube.
  • the cigarettes stuffed in this way are characterized by different smoking behavior, namely different train, taste and different long smoking time.
  • the self-made cigarette behaves similarly to the self-rolled cigarette.
  • the pollutant content of the self-stuffed or rolled cigarette in the conventional way is very different and uncontrolled according to the different filling levels of the cigarette tube.
  • EP-A-123 150 a tobacco product for self-manufacturing of cigarettes by the consumer is proposed in EP-A-123 150, which is characterized by a non-smokable prefabricated product in the form of a prefabricated tobacco cartridge consisting of an open-ended, diameter-based cartridge the cigarette paper tube adapted to the finished cigarette and a strand-like tobacco filling, each corresponding to a cigarette portion, which can be transferred from the extrusion tube into an empty cigarette paper tube by means of an associated piston which is adapted to the inside diameter of the extrusion tube.
  • 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 - Rolled cigarette paper cigarette sleeve is transferable.
  • the tobacco cartridge has a casing, namely a casing, made of non-smoking material.
  • the strand casing represents a superfluous auxiliary device which can only be used once.
  • further aids are required for transferring the pre-portioned tobacco supply from the strand casing into the cigarette paper tube, namely a free-to-use, loose tobacco transfer rod. The handling of the same without further aids for inserting the filled tobacco cartridge into the empty cigarette paper tube and holding the string envelope of the tobacco cartridge when transferring the tobacco supply should pose great difficulties even for experienced in-house cigarette manufacturers.
  • DE-B-33 43 402 and EP-A-84 111 150.3 propose various aids or devices for transferring the tobacco from the strand casing into a cigarette paper casing. Ultimately, however, this system is also dependent on additional aids for self-manufacturing a cigarette.
  • EP-A-155 514 which goes back to the applicant, has for the first time proposed a tobacco product which enables cigarettes to be self-made without auxiliary means, such as a tobacco transfer rod or the like, and in which there is no longer any disposable strand casing.
  • This tobacco product consists of a tobacco filling of a finished cigarette that is dimensionally stable and has a tobacco portion, the outer surface of which is formed from a covering made of completely smokable material, the outer surface being so permeable to air that the tobacco portion as such is not smokable and only after its outer surface has been tightly wrapped Cigarette paper or the like. Is smokable.
  • an equally designed tobacco product is proposed by EP-A-178 605, wherein according to a preferred embodiment the diameter of the tobacco portion is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube of the finished cigarette in order to facilitate the introduction of the tobacco portion into the prefabricated cigarette paper tube.
  • the diameter of the tobacco portion must be increased by subsequent mechanical manipulation of the tobacco portion by the user.
  • This type of strand envelope perforation is also intended to reduce the Enable the diameter of the tobacco portion by twisting it in the direction of rotation of the perforation spiral line.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a tobacco product of the type in question here, which can be placed very easily within the wrapper made of cigarette paper or the like.
  • Smokable and tractive material due to a smaller diameter of the tobacco portion compared to the wrapping of cigarette paper for the smoking of the end product "cigarette” the dense contact of the tobacco on the wrapper made of cigarette paper or the like is achieved without subsequent manipulation of the tobacco portion and / or the wrapper made of cigarette paper or the like by the user.
  • the design of the tobacco product according to the invention is characterized in that the user is no longer required in any way. No separate instructions from the user for making a cigarette are required, with the exception of the fact that the tobacco product is placed within a wrapper made of cigarette paper or similar material. The tight contact of the tobacco on the wrapping made of cigarette paper or the like is done automatically according to the invention. A subsequent mechanical action on the tobacco product by the user, as proposed in EP-A-178 605, is no longer required.
  • Claim 10 relates to the method for producing a cigarette using tobacco products designed according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows an industrially prefabricated dimensionally stable tobacco portion 10 in association with a likewise industrially prefabricated cigarette paper tube 11 with filter 12 of the conventional type used by self-tamper.
  • the essential element of the system shown is the dimensionally stable tobacco portion, which is not smokable outside of the cigarette paper tube 11, however otherwise consists entirely of smokable material.
  • the tobacco portion 10 consists of a strand casing 13 made of thin tobacco film material or tobacco-colored cigarette paper, which is provided with perforations 14.
  • the perforations 14 extend according to FIG. 1 over the entire length of the tobacco portion 10.
  • the perforations 14 are preferably arranged approximately uniformly distributed over the length and the circumference of the tobacco portion 10.
  • a porous covering material can also be used as the strand covering 13.
  • the strand casing 13 contains a strand-like tobacco filling 15 introduced by the manufacturer Tobacco filling 15 in the casing 13 is approximately as dense, preferably slightly more dense in the radial direction, packed than in an industrially manufactured cigarette.
  • the tobacco portion 10 has a length which corresponds approximately to the length of the tobacco receiving space 16 of a commercially available cigarette paper tube 11.
  • the outer diameter of the tobacco portion is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cigarette paper tube 11, so that it can be easily inserted or inserted into the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • the diameter of the tobacco portion 10 is dimensioned such that the tobacco portion 10 can also be inserted into a cigarette paper tube, which is undersized in terms of diameter, with play, ie without problems.
  • the diameter of the cigarette paper tubes on the market is in the order of ⁇ 1/10 - 2/10 mm; Accordingly, the tobacco portion 10 is designed in terms of its diameter so that it can be inserted without any problem into a cigarette paper tube, which has the maximum minus tolerance in terms of diameter. Irrespective of this, the tobacco filling 15 of each tobacco portion 10 corresponds in terms of quantity to the tight packing of the cigarette paper tube 11 desired for the finished cigarettes, and that - as explained - in accordance with a normal cigarette manufactured by the manufacturer.
  • the cross section of the tobacco portion 10 is preferably approximately circular over the entire length to match the free cross section of the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • the seam gluing 19 is carried out by means of a thermoplastic and food-safe adhesive which is at least in the area of the relatively hot glowing zone 17 and when the cigarettes are smoked with it progressively loosens with the opening of the connecting seam 18, so that the tobacco portion 10 or its tobacco filling 15 can expand radially outwards under close contact with the cigarette paper.
  • the cigarette is therefore in use, i.e. H. when lit or with the first train, smokable without the user having to act (mechanically) on the portion 10 of cigarettes in any way.
  • the opening of the connecting seam 18 in the area of the glowing zone 17 is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • the longitudinal seam 18 opens in full length. This depends not least on the consistency of the adhesive used.
  • the embodiment described is very simple in terms of manufacturing technology.
  • the tobacco portions 10 can be made on a conventional cigarette making machine. It is only necessary to use the aforementioned adhesive in order to achieve the desired effect of radial expansion when using the cigarette.
  • the resolution of the seam adhesive 19 can also by the Smoking released moisture take place, which is inherent in the tobacco filling 15.
  • the radial "preload" of the tobacco portion 10 should therefore be released due to the action of heat or moisture, so that the tobacco portion 10 or its tobacco filling 15 lies tightly against the inner surface of the wrapping made of cigarette paper.
  • a predetermined breaking point preferably a predetermined breaking line
  • the predetermined breaking line is preferably characterized by a weakening of the material of the strand casing 13. It can also be formed by a particularly intensive perforation, i. H. dense arrangement of perforation openings along a predetermined line.
  • a fixative is preferably chosen to achieve the automatic increase in diameter during use, which causes radial expansion of the tobacco stick under the action of heat and / or released moisture that the tobacco lies close to the cigarette paper.
  • the expansion of the tobacco stick can also progressively take place in the area of the ember zone and when the cigarette is smoked with it.
  • the tobacco rod is preferably radially compressed, it being held in this compressed state by the fixative. Under the influence of heat and / or released The fixative should no longer be able to hold the tobacco rod together in the radial direction due to moisture when the cigarettes are lit or the first pull, so that the impressed radial compression or preload is released.
  • the outer surface of the tobacco portion 10 or strand casing 13 and / or the inner surface of the wrapper 11 is made of cigarette paper, whereby in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 the fur-like structures 20 of the tobacco portion 10 and 21 of the cigarette paper sleeve 11 are directed so that on the one hand they do not impede the insertion of the tobacco portion 10 into the prefabricated cigarette paper tube 11, and on the other hand they hold the tobacco portion 10 securely in the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 10.
  • the fur-like structure 21 on the inner surface of the cigarette paper tube 11 is thus directed towards the filter piece 12, while the direction of the fur-like structure 20 on the outer surface of the tobacco portion 10 is exactly opposite when the same is inserted into the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 11 (see arrow P) .
  • the fur-like structure 20 and / or 21 causes a sufficient filling of possible gaps between tobacco portion 10 on the one hand and cigarette paper tube 11 on the other hand such that the self-made cigarette can be smoked without any problems without irregular burning of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the train is approximately uniform over the entire cross section of the cigarette paper tube 11. At the same time, a secure hold of the tobacco portion 10 within the cigarette paper tube 11 is ensured even if the diameter of the cigarette paper tube has a maximum plus tolerance.
  • the cigarette paper tube 11 In order to spare the user from having to make sure that the fur-like structure 20 on the lateral surface of the tobacco portion 10 when inserted into the tobacco receiving space 16 the cigarette paper tube 11 is directed as described above, the direction of the fur-like structure 20 or the surface fibers or hairs is approximately perpendicular to the outer surface. Then the tobacco portion 10 can still be easily inserted into the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 11, filling in any gaps, in particular annular gaps, between tobacco portion 10 on the one hand and cigarette paper tube 11 on the other. At the same time, a sufficiently secure hold of the tobacco portion 10 in the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 11 is ensured, even if no fur-like structure 21 is provided on the inner surface of the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • the hair-like fibers forming the fur-like structure 20 or 21 have a length of about 0.1 to about 0.3 mm.
  • the above-mentioned plus / minus tolerances in the diameter of conventional cigarette paper tubes 11 can thus be easily compensated for.
  • the last-described design of tobacco portion 10 and / or cigarette paper tube 11 can also be combined with the above-described measures for increasing the diameter of the tobacco portion, which will be explained further below.
  • the fur-like structures 20 and 21 give the corresponding surfaces a velvety impression.
  • the fur-like structure 20 or. 21 can also be applied subsequently to the corresponding surface, in particular sprayed on.
  • a kind of complete filling of the tobacco receiving space 16 of a cigarette paper tube 11 is thus achieved by the fur-like structures 20 and 21, even if the diameter of the tobacco portion 10 is noticeably smaller than the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube
  • the casing 13 of the tobacco portion 10 is provided with an elastically flexible coating 22 made of smokable material, which of course has the same perforation as the casing 13. Similar to the previously described fur-like structures 20, 21, this elastically flexible coating allows the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 11 to be completely filled, even with noticeable diameter tolerances of the tobacco product 10 on the one hand and cigarette paper 11 on the other.
  • the strand casing 13 it is also conceivable to produce the strand casing 13 as a whole from an elastically flexible material, the elastically flexible coating 22 or strand casing 13 made from elastically flexible material being used by external packaging, in particular a casing made of cellophane or the like, before use , is radially compressed.
  • This radially effective compression is released after removal of the outer packaging, preferably with a time delay, so that the tobacco portion 10 after insertion into the tobacco receiving space 16 of the cigarette paper tube 11 with the radial expansion of the coating 22 or from the resilient material made of casing 13 close to the Creates inner surface of the cigarette paper tube 11.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show the attachment of an outer packaging in the form of an envelope 23 made of cellophane or the like, which keeps the tobacco portion 10 radially compressed.
  • the tobacco portion 10 should expand radially, preferably with a slight time delay, so that a tight fit within the cigarette paper tube 11 is ensured, even if the diameter of the cigarette paper tube 11 noticeably is larger than the diameter of the radially compressed tobacco portion 10.
  • the envelope 23 In order to facilitate removal of the envelope 23, the latter has a protruding grip tab 25, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • the tobacco product described is also suitable for the self-production of a cigarette using self-rolling cigarette paper, in particular cigarette paper papers, in that the cigarette paper or cigarette paper papers are wrapped around the tobacco portion and glued longitudinally in a manner known per se.
  • the surfaces facing one another can also be structured in a scale-like manner and / or be provided with ring-like, interlocking projections, such that on the one hand the tobacco portion 10 extends freely into the wrapper Can insert cigarette paper, on the other hand, the tobacco portion 10 is held securely within the wrapping of cigarette paper while sealing any gaps or channels between the tobacco portion and wrapping.
