Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an aerosol generating means for use with a smoking article and a smoking article which comprises a combustible fuel element and such an aerosol generating means according to the preamble of claims 1 and 17.
  • EP-A-0 117 355 ( Hearn et al .) describes a proposed cigarette smoking article having a carbon heat source with an axial passageway and a separate flavor generator.
  • the heat source (page 2, line 23 to page 7, line 14) is formed by pyrolyzing a preformed, tube-shaped ligno-cellulosic material of e.g. 90 mm or 65 mm length (see Comparative Example 1 and Example 4, respectively) under specified conditions, followed by at least one additional specified process step.
  • the purported flavor generator (page 8, lines 8-27) comprises a substrate material, which may be tobacco, alumina, etc., adjacent the mouth end, which is impregnated with or inherently contains at least one thermally releasable flavorant.
  • the flavor generator also may comprise a flavored, foamed core inside the heat source.
  • a conventional filter may be placed after the flavor generator. The purported formation of an aerosol during use is described from page 8, line 28 to page 9, line 8.
  • the heat source, the flavor generator and the filter are wrapped in cigarette paper.
  • an aerosol generating means for use with a smoking article, comprising a substrate including alumina, said substrate bearing an aerosol forming substance composed of (molecules comprising) at least carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, wherein said substrate includes alumina sintered at temperatures greater than about 1000° C.
  • the aerosol forming substance is more effectively retained in the substrate prior to smoking.
  • said substrate bears a volatile tobacco flavor agent.
  • the substrate is of a type which withstands temperatures up to 400° to 600° C.
  • the aerosol forming substance is in solid and/or liquid form.
  • an aerosol forming substance the boiling point of which is in a temperature range up to 500° C.
  • Preferred aerosol forming substances by which an aerosol resembling the smoke of a regular smoking article can easily be produced include polyhydric alcohols, most preferably glycerin and/or propylene glycol and/or triethylene glycol.
  • said tobacco flavor agent comprises a tobacco extract.
  • Preferred embodiments of the inventive aerosol generating means contain an aerosol forming substance comprising a tobacco flavor modifier.
  • a tobacco flavor modifier which comprises levulinic acid.
  • the tobacco flavor agent may comprise menthol.
  • the present invention is further directed to a smoking article comprising a fuel element and a physically separate aerosol generating means having one or several of the features specified above.
  • such a smoking article is designed such that above about 2 weight percent, preferably above about 15 weight percent, and most preferably above about 20 weight percent of the aerosol forming substance carried on the substrate are delivered to the user as WTPM.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a smoking article, preferably in cigarette form, which utilizes a small, high density combustible fuel element in conjunction with a physically separate aerosol generating means which includes one or more aerosol forming materials.
  • the aerosol generating means is in a conductive heat exchange relationship with the fuel element and/or at least a portion of the fuel element is circumscribed by a resilient insulating jacket to reduce radial heat loss.
  • the fuel element Upon lighting, the fuel element generates heat which is used to volatilize the aerosol forming materials in the aerosol generating means. These volatile materials are then drawn toward the mouth end, especially during puffing, and into the user's mouth, akin to the smoke of a conventional cigarette.
  • Smoking articles of the invention are capable of producing substantial quantities of aerosol, both initially and over the useful life of the product, and are capable of providing the user with the sensations and benefits of cigarette smoking.
  • the aerosol produced by the aerosol generating means is produced without significant thermal degradation and is advantageously delivered to the user with substantially reduced amounts of pyrolysis and incomplete combustion products than are normally delivered by a conventional cigarette.
  • the smoking article of the present invention also may include a charge or plug of tobacco which may be used to add a tobacco flavor to the aerosol.
  • a tobacco charge may be mixed with the substrate for the aerosol forming material.
  • Other substances, such as flavoring agents, also may be incorporated into the article to flavor or otherwise modify the aerosol delivered to the user.
  • aerosol is defined to include vapors, gases, particles, and the like, both visible and invisible, and especially those components perceived by the user to be “smoke-like,” generated by action of the heat from the burning fuel element upon substances contained within the aerosol generating means, or elsewhere in the article.
  • aerosol also includes volatile flavoring agents and/or pharmacologically or physiologically active agents irrespective of whether they produce a visible aerosol.
  • the embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 1 which preferably has the overall dimensions of a conventional cigarette, includes a short, about 20 mm long, combustible fuel element 10, an abutting aerosol generating means 12, and a foil lined paper tube 14, which forms the mouthend 15 of the article.

  • the tube 14 also forms an aerosol delivery passage 18 between the aerosol generating means 12 and mouth end 15 of the article.
  • the presence of foil lined tube 14, which couples the nonlighting end of fuel 10 to aerosol generator 12, increases heat transfer to the aerosol generator.
  • the foil also helps to extinguish the fire cone. When only a small amount of the unburned fuel remains, heat loss through the foil acts as a heat sink which helps to extinguish the fire cone.
  • the foil used in this article is typically an aluminum foil of 0.35 mils (0.0089 mm) in thickness, but the thickness and/or the type of conductor employed may be varied to achieve virtually any desired degree of heat transfer.

  • This embodiment includes a void space 30 between the fuel element 24 and the substrate 28.
  • the portion of the foil lined tube 14 surrounding this void space includes a plurality of peripheral holes 32 which permit sufficient air to enter the void space to provide appropriate pressure drop.
  • the heat conducting means includes the conductive rod 26 and the foil lined tube 14, both of which are spaced from the lighting end of the fuel element.

  • the rod 26 is preferably formed of aluminum and has at least one, preferably from 2 to 5, peripheral grooves 34 therein, to allow air passage through the substrate.
  • the article of Figure 2 has the advantage that the air introduced into void space 30 contains less oxidation products because it is not drawn through the burning fuel.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Figure 3 includes fuel element 10, about 10 mm long, with a single axial hole 16. Again, the lighting end of the fuel element may be tapered or reduced in diameter to improve ease of lighting.
  • the substrate 38 of the aerosol generator is a granular, thermally stable alumina impregnated with an aerosol forming material.

  • the fuel element 10 is about 15 mm long and the aerosol generating means 12 is formed by an aluminum capsule 52 which is filled with a granular substrate or, as shown in the drawing, a mixture of a granular substrate 54 and tobacco 56.
  • the capsule 52 is crimped at its ends 58, 60 to enclose the material and to inhibit migration of the aerosol former.
  • the crimped end 58, at the fuel end preferably abuts the rear end of the fuel element to provide for conductive heat transfer.

  • inventions shown in Figures 6 through 8 include a resilient insulating jacket which encircles or circumscribes the fuel element to insulate and help concentrate the heat in the fuel element. These embodiments also help to reduce any fire causing potential of the burning fire cone and, in some cases, help simulate the feel of a conventional cigarette.
  • the fuel element 10 is provided with a plurality of holes 16 and is circumscribed by a resilient jacket 72 about 0.5 mm thick, as shown in Figure 6A.
  • This jacket is formed of insulating fibers, such as ceramic (e.g., glass) fibers or nonburning carbon or graphite fibers.
  • the aerosol generating means 12 comprises a porous mass 13 having a single, axial hole 17.

  • the insulating jacket may also be used in lieu of the cellulose acetate tow 42, so that the jacket extends from the lighting end to the filter plug 45.
  • a layer of glue is preferably applied to the annular section of the filter plug which abuts the end of the insulating jacket, or a short annular section of tow is placed between the insulating jacket and the filter piece, with glue applied at either end.
  • Figure 8 illustrates an embodiment in which a 10 to 15 mm long fuel element 10 is overwrapped with an insulating jacket 72 of glass fibers and the aerosol generating means is circumscribed by a jacket of tobacco 88.
  • the glass fibers used on this embodiment preferably have a softening temperature below about 650 ° C, such as experimental fibers 6432 and 6437 obtained from Owens-Corning, Toledo, Ohio, so that they will fuse during use.
  • the glass fiber and tobacco jackets are each wrapped with a plug wrap 85, such as Ecusta 646, and are joined by an overwrap of cigarette paper 89, such as 780-63-5 or P 878-16-2, obtained from Kimberly-Clark.
  • the metallic capsule 90 overlaps the rear 3 to 4 mm of the fuel element so that it is spaced about 6 to 12 mm from the lighting end, and the rear portion of the capsule 90 is crimped into a lobe shape, as shown in Figure 8B.

  • the mouth end piece 40 is joined to the jacketed fuel/capsule end by an overwrapping layer of tipping paper 86.
  • the capsule end of plastic tube 44 is spaced from the capsule 90.
  • the jacket 94 comprises tobacco or an admixture of tobacco and insulating fibers, such as glass fibers. As shown, the tobacco jacket 94 extends just beyond the mouth end of metallic container 96. Alternatively, it may extend over the entire length of the article, up to the mouth end filter piece. In embodiments of this type, container 96 is preferably provided with one or more longitudinal slots 99 on its periphery (preferably two slots 180 o apart) so that vapors from the aerosol generator pass through the annular section of tobacco which surrounds the aerosol generator to extract tobacco flavors before entering passage 18.
  • the tobacco at the fuel element end of jacket 94 is compressed. This aids in reducing air flow through the tobacco, thereby reducing the burn potential thereof.
  • the container 96 aids in extinguishing the tobacco by acting as a heat sink. This heat sink effect helps quench any burning of the tobacco surrounding the capsule, and it also helps to evenly distribute heat to the tobacco around the aerosol generating means, thereby aiding in the release of tobacco flavor components.
  • the tobacco itself may be treated with a burn modifier to prevent burning of the tobacco which surrounds the aerosol generator.
  • the fuel element Upon lighting any of the aforesaid embodiments, the fuel element burns, generating the heat used to volatilize the aerosol forming material or materials present in the aerosol generating means. These volatile materials are then drawn toward the mouthend, especially during puffing, and into the user's mouth, akin to the smoke of a conventional cigarette.
  • the fuel element is relatively short, the hot, burning fire cone is always close to the aerosol generating body, which maximizes heat transfer to the aerosol generating means and any optional tobacco charges, and the resultant production of aerosol and optional tobacco flavor, especially when the preferred heat conducting member is used. Because the fuel element is short, there is never a long section of nonburning fuel to act as a heat sink, as was common in previous thermal aerosol articles. The small fuel source also tends to minimize the amount of incomplete combustion or pyrolysis products, especially in embodiments which contain carbon and/or multiple passageways.
  • the aerosol forming material is physically separate from the fuel element, it is exposed to substantially lower temperatures than are present in the burning fire cone. This minimizes the possibility of thermal degradation of the aerosol former and attendant off taste. This also results in aerosol production during puffing, but minimal aerosol production from the aerosol generating means during smolder.
  • the short fuel element, the recessed heat conducting member, the insulating member, and/or the passages in the fuel cooperate with the aerosol generator to provide a system which is capable of producing substantial quantities of aerosol and optional tobacco flavor, on virtually every puff.
  • the aerosol generating means is maintained at a relatively high temperature between puffs, and that the additional heat delivered during puffs, which is significantly increased by the preferred passageways in the fuel element, is primarily utilized to vaporize the aerosol forming material. This increased heat transfer makes more efficient use of the available fuel energy, reduces the amount of fuel needed, and helps deliver early aerosol.
  • the combustible fuel elements which may be employed in practicing the invention are less than about 30 mm long.
  • the fuel element is about 20 mm or less, more preferably about 15 mm or less in length.
  • the diameter of the fuel element is about 8 mm or less, preferably between about 3 and 7 mm, and more preferably between about 4 to 6 mm.

  • the density is greater than 0.7 g/cc., more preferably greater than 0.8 g/cc.

  • the most preferred fuel elements useful in practicing this invention are carbonaceous fuel elements (i.e., fuel elements primarily comprising carbon). Carbonaceous fuel elements are particularly advantageous because they produce minimal pyrolysis and incomplete combustion products, produce little or no visible sidestream smoke, and minimal ash, and have high heat capacity.
