Definitions

  • the invention relates to a replacement cigarette with a mouthpiece and with a rod-shaped part attached to this mouthpiece, which is glowingly flammable, a reservoir for fragrances and / or flavors being provided which can be transported with the gas sucked in by smokers.
  • Such a replacement cigarette is known from DE-OS 16 32 249.
  • the combustible part is arranged concentrically around a tube that runs over the entire length of the replacement cigarette and serves as a reservoir. This results in a very complex structure, so that the production of each individual replacement cigarette is extremely expensive.
  • the combustible part burn up, but also the reservoir with the tube must also burn off following the gradual combustion process. It is to be feared that due to the various substances that have to be burned off, pollutants are also generated, so that this replacement cigarette can prevent the absorption of nicotine, but there is nevertheless a risk of damage to health.
  • the reservoir is arranged behind the flammable part in the direction of flow and the flammable part consists of organic and / or inorganic substances which decompose into carbon dioxide and / or water vapor when burned.
  • this also results in a much simpler construction of the replacement cigarette because it does not have to be provided with a tube of inhalants over its length. Rather, a combustible part can be made up of only one substance if possible, which - similar to filter cigarettes - is then followed by the part in which the fragrances and / or flavors are present, which are gradually extracted by sucking in air and combustion residues from which smokers are admitted.
  • the ingredients of the reservoir can be chosen arbitrarily in order to produce a wide variety of taste nuances, and if necessary even nicotine could be simulated or actually added.
  • a particularly simple and expedient structure of the replacement cigarette is obtained if the cross section of the reservoir corresponds to that of the combustible part.
  • a filter vzw can be placed between the flammable part and the reservoir. from activated carbon or the like. be arranged to keep carbon monoxide from the smoker, for example under unfavorable conditions in which the combustible part is not subjected to complete combustion with complete certainty.
  • a particularly expedient and advantageous embodiment of the invention can consist in that the combustible part consists at least predominantly of pure carbon, for example in the form of coke, charcoal, activated carbon, soot or, above all, graphite and in particular in the form of fibers, granules, as a powder or compressed powder is provided.
  • Carbon can be provided in a wide variety of ways and formed into a glowable rod, whereby in an advantageous manner when burning - with enough oxygen excess - only CO2 is formed.
  • it is an inexpensive substance, so that the entire replacement cigarette can be manufactured inexpensively not only because of its simple structure but also because of the flammable substance used.
  • the combustible substance of the combustible part can be stabilized by additives, for example be soaked with a sugar solution or CaCO3, CaO, MgCO2, SiO2 solution. This results in a replacement cigarette, which does not only have to be kept stable by an outer casing, but also has a certain intrinsic stability.
  • the replacement cigarette can vzw an outer film or sheet-like wrapping. from cigarette paper or from special paper disintegrating when burned into harmless components, which vzw. the flammable area, the reservoir and the mouthpiece are completely covered. As a result, the replacement cigarette also gets the desired appearance of a real cigarette.
  • a thin, in particular white coating for example made of calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate, which is formed by dipping, brushing on or spraying on, can also be provided as the outer covering.
  • the outer cladding layer thus consists practically of a lime, which forms a white layer without hindering the combustion and without forming combustion residues itself.
  • the reservoir is expediently arranged between the filter and a mouth and contains the flavor or active ingredients vzw. in a diatomaceous earth, in activated carbon or in a granulate or other carrier material.
  • sufficiently large surfaces within the reservoir are provided with the fragrances and / or flavors in order to be able to be gradually released over the burning time of the combustible part.
  • Another even cheaper solution can be that the reservoir or the like by soaking the flammable portion near the mouthpiece area with flavors and / or fragrances. is formed.
  • the invention is described in more detail below in an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing.
  • the single figure shows a schematic representation of a longitudinal section through a replacement cigarette according to the invention.
  • a replacement cigarette designated as a whole, has a mouthpiece 2 and a rod-shaped part 3, which is smolderingly flammable. Between this combustible part 3 and the mouthpiece 2 there is a reservoir 4 for fragrances and / or flavors which can be transported with the gas sucked in by the smoker.
  • the reservoir 4 is arranged behind the combustible part 3 in the direction of flow.
  • the combustible part 3 is composed of organic and / or inorganic substances which, when burned, decompose as exclusively as possible into carbon dioxide and possibly also into water vapor, which are completely harmless products for the smoker.
  • a filter 5 is e.g. between the combustible part 3 and the reservoir 4 e.g. from activated carbon or the like. arranged to better ensure that no harmful gas can reach the consumer, for example CO in the event of incomplete combustion under unfavorable circumstances.
  • the combustible part 3 can vzw. completely or at least predominantly from pure carbon, e.g. exist in fiber form, as indicated in the drawing.
  • the combustible substances in this combustible part 3 are too unstable and tend to fall out of an envelope 6 to be explained, they could be stabilized by additives, for example with a sugar solution or CaCO3-, CaO-, MgCO3-, SiO2 solution to be soaked. This stabilization may not even have to take place over the entire cross-section and / or the entire length in order to obtain a sufficiently durable combustible part.
  • the replacement cigarette 1 can have an outer film-like wrapping 6, e.g. from cigarette paper or also from a special paper that disintegrates when burned into harmless constituents, in the exemplary embodiment the wrapping 6 continuously wrapping the combustible part 3, the reservoir 4, the mouthpiece 2 and also the filter 5 present in this case.
  • an outer film-like wrapping 6 e.g. from cigarette paper or also from a special paper that disintegrates when burned into harmless constituents
  • the wrapping 6 continuously wrapping the combustible part 3, the reservoir 4, the mouthpiece 2 and also the filter 5 present in this case.
  • a thin, in particular white coating for example made of calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate, ie lime, is provided as the outer covering 6, which coating can be formed by dipping, brushing on or spraying on.
  • a modified embodiment of the replacement cigarette 1 can consist in the fact that the reservoir 4 could be formed by soaking the area of the flammable part 3 close to the mouthpiece or mouth end 2 with flavors and / or fragrances.
  • the structure of the replacement cigarette 1 would be even simpler than it is in the exemplary embodiment shown, that is to say the production would be even cheaper.
  • a larger amount of such substances can be made available by an independent reservoir 4 in a part which at least constructively corresponds to the filter of a conventional cigarette.
  • the user can clamp the replacement cigarette 1 according to the invention in the same way as a conventional cigarette with the mouth between his lips, then ignite the combustible part at the opposite end and by drawing in air and of particular combustion gases CO2 and H2O vapor through the replacement cigarette 1 get appropriate flavors from the reservoir 4 without the combustion residues being harmful to health.
  • the construction of this replacement cigarette 1 is nevertheless very simple and practically corresponds to that of a conventional cigarette, which is advantageous for the production and the price of the replacement cigarette 1.
