Definitions

  • the invention relates to an article for simulating smoking by inhaling nicotine without the influence of heat, with a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet opening, which contains a support structure inside which accommodates a nicotine preparation which is evaporable at room temperature.
  • the tubular housing contains, as a nicotine support structure, an absorbent mass (e.g. a wrap made of filter paper) with a central longitudinal bore that is widened towards both ends.
  • the absorbent mass is saturated with a liquid nicotine preparation.
  • nicotine liquid should evaporate on the surface of the bore as a result of the Venturi effect and can thus be inhaled.
  • EP-A 0 202 512 in turn describes a "smoker" article of the type mentioned at the beginning, with which on the one hand one increased nicotine release per puff, but in particular an effective evaporation to avoid that nicotine in droplet form is carried away by the draft.
  • This is to be achieved by a porous plug made of polymerized material, in which material nicotine is effectively absorbed, ie embedded in the interior between the molecular polymer chains.
  • the nicotine release should then take place through desorption from the material when air is drawn through.
  • Such absorption and desorption processes are known to be extremely slow, which is also confirmed in the publication mentioned: to load samples made of polypropylene with a few percent by weight nicotine, when immersed in pure nicotine, takes several days or 1 week (highly temperature-dependent).
  • the (in itself low) nicotine release is extremely slow and can extend over several thousand puffs, which of course - with normal smoking habits - cannot be used.
  • the mass production of such articles is also problematic, since appropriate immersion baths with highly toxic pure nicotine are required to load the porous plugs during the long absorption period; After the immersion treatment, the nicotine adhering to the plugs must then be washed out and the nicotine-containing washing liquid must finally be disposed of.
  • chemical interactions between the plug material (plastic) and the nicotine absorbed therein cannot be ruled out on the finished product, at least with a longer storage period.
  • the present invention is intended to remedy the disadvantages inherent in the aforementioned known product proposals.
  • the aim is to produce an article for "smokeless" nicotine inhalation which is suitable for series production and which, with acceptable amounts of the nicotine preparation to be introduced, enables suitable, metered nicotine loads in the case of train sequences which correspond to the usual smoking processes.
  • the support structure which substantially fills the effective cross section of the housing and accommodates the nicotine preparation forms a multiplicity of continuous flow channels, on the free and non-absorbing surface of which the nicotine preparation is attached as a thin layer which leaves the channels open.
  • the nicotine preparation is thus exposed to the passing air as a thin film on a relatively large free surface, which practically corresponds to the surface of a "labyrinth" of channels. It is also essential that the material of the support structure is at least tight on the surface of the channels, i.e. is impermeable to the nicotine preparation and the preparation therefore only adheres to the material through adhesion (wetting), but does not penetrate the material through absorption.
  • the preparation should also in no way fill the flow channels, but leave them free for the air flow.
  • the housing can essentially correspond to the shape of a cigarette, but other designs are also conceivable, for example similar to a tobacco pipe, etc.
  • various embodiments are to be considered for the supporting structure, for example a (loose) filling of a granulate, for example of Balls, a bundle of parallel rods, an open-pore sintered body (frit), a solid, open-cell foam, etc.
  • the supporting structure glass is considered particularly suitable because of its tightness, low price, neutral taste and chemical resistance; however, other materials can also be considered, such as aluminum or other metals, glazed or dense ceramics, certain dense plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) etc.
  • the introduction of the required small amounts of nicotine preparation into the supporting structure can be achieved by applying a measured volume of the preparation to the Outside surface take place, whereupon the liquid spreads relatively quickly over the channel surfaces inside the structure thanks to good wetting.
  • Suitable nicotine preparations are, for example, pure nicotine and other preparations known per se, such as are given, for example, in the publications cited above for the prior art and also in EP-A 0 148 749.
  • Any desired aroma substances, such as tobacco aroma, fruit aromas, mint, etc. can either be added to the nicotine preparation or added separately in the housing, for example in a filter-like element or as a "capsule", etc.
  • the nicotine preparation can either be added to the support structure already in the housing, or it can be loaded with nicotine preparation in a preparatory production step and only then inserted into the housing. Protection is therefore claimed for the prepared supporting structure itself as a preliminary product (claims 18 to 31).
  • the article for simulating smoking according to the example according to FIG. 1 has a housing 10, for example made of plastic, on which a mouthpiece 13 is molded.
  • the air inlet opening 11 of the housing 10 and the air outlet opening designed as a channel 12 in the mouthpiece 13 can, if necessary, for example during the storage time of the finished article, be closed by a cover 6 or a stopper 8, both made of soft plastic, for example.
  • a support structure Arranged in the interior of the housing 10 is a support structure, denoted overall by 14, which receives a nicotine preparation that can evaporate at room temperature, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the support structure 14 has a cylindrical container 15 with a lid 16 and is inserted into the housing 10 from the air inlet opening 11 up to the axial support on stop ribs 19.
  • a number of holes 18 are provided for the passage of air.
  • the container 15 of the support structure 14 is essentially filled with a bed of granules - in the present example, glass balls of identical diameter to one another.
  • This granular bed - it can also be a bed of irregularly shaped grains or balls of different diameters - forms the active part of the support structure 14.
  • the support structure has a plurality of continuous flow channels (here through the interconnected spaces between forms the granules or balls) for the air sucked in during inhalation, a nicotine preparation that can be evaporated at room temperature being deposited as a thin layer on the free surface of these channels, which leaves the channels open;
  • the material forming the active part of the support structure is at least dense on the surface, ie it does not absorb the nicotine preparation attached.
  • FIG. 1 an arbitrary region of the ball bed is shown enlarged and designated A (for the sake of simplicity as a regular, densest ball packing in two layers).
  • balls 20 lying next to one another and one above the other and the intermediate spaces 21 existing between them are visible, which form the plurality of continuous flow channels.
  • a portion of area A is then again shown enlarged and designated B; this area B represents three mutually contacting spheres 20 and the intermediate space or flow channel 21 formed thereby.
  • the thin layer 22 of the nicotine preparation deposited on the spherical surface is now also visible (layer thickness not to scale, but rather to shown large).
  • a container 15 with an inner diameter of 7.5 mm and a length (inside) of 30 mm is filled with glass balls 20 of the same size in order to form the support structure 14.
  • the number of balls that can be accommodated in the container was determined empirically for some ball radii R; it is somewhat lower than with theoretically the densest spherical packing.
  • This layer thickness can then be compared with the radius r of the incircle (Fig. 1, B.) for a given sphere radius R.
  • Table 1 the ratios for three Different ball sizes are shown with a constant load of 6 mm3 preparation (6 mg pure nicotine): Table 1 Sphere radius R [mm] Number of balls Total spherical area [mm2] Layer thickness [ ⁇ m] Incircle radius r [ ⁇ m] 1.5 52 1470 4.1 232 1.2 98 1773 3.4 186 1 171 2149 2.8 155 0.75 434 3068 1.9 116
  • the thickness of the layer 22 is only a small fraction of the incircle radius r (approximately 1/50 or 1/60). On the one hand, this means that the cross section of the channels 21 remains wide open, and on the other hand that the capillary action on the liquid layers is small, that is to say it is limited to the area around the contact points (to smaller areas than shown in FIG. 1, B. because there the layer thickness is exaggerated). These ratios do not change fundamentally if the nicotine loading amount is halved or doubled compared to the assumed 6 mg.
  • the "labyrinth" of the flow channels 21 has a quite large, free evaporation surface which, although it does not correspond to the entire spherical surface (Table 1), does comes close. If air is sucked through the channels 21 when the article is used, part of the nicotine evaporates on this entire wetted surface, which is then inhaled with the air. During a large number of successive trains, the extent of the evaporation surface changes very little, the layer 22 is only gradually removed in thickness.
  • the article produced in this way was then "smoked" with dry air by drawing drafts of 35 ml each and about 2 s in duration at intervals of about 60 s through the support structure 14. After every 50 puffs, the weight loss of the support structure 14 was then determined by exact weighing and the average nicotine release per puff was calculated therefrom.
  • Table 2 The measurement results for 550 trains are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 (Nicotine load 12.8 mg) Number of moves 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 Weight loss after 50 puffs [mg] 1 1 1 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.8 0.8 0.7 0.7 0.6 average Nicotine delivery per train [ ⁇ g] 20th 20th 20th 18th 18th 16 16 14 14 12 Total weight loss [mg] 1 2nd 3rd 3.9 4.8 5.7 6.5 7.3 8.0 8.7 9.3
  • FIG. 2 Another embodiment of an article for simulating smoking is shown in FIG. 2 and is described below described.
  • This article has a housing 10a in the form of a tube, for example with the dimensions of a cigarette, with an air inlet opening 11 and an air outlet opening 12.
  • the support structure 24 for a nicotine preparation is designed here as a bundle of parallel longitudinal rods 30 made of non-absorbent material; preferably, as can be seen from the enlarged section C, the rods 30 have a circular cross section, the interstices between them forming a multiplicity of flow channels 31 for the air which is drawn through.
  • the rods 30 can also have a different, for example irregular, cross section, provided that they leave gaps open for the formation of flow channels.
  • an air-permeable barrier 25 for example in the form of a wire screen, can be inserted into the tube in order to prevent individual rods 30 from escaping.
  • the tube 10a can, for example, be wound from several layers of paper or made from thin cardboard; An impermeable inner coating, for example an aluminum foil, is expediently applied so that the nicotine preparation received by the support structure 24 does not diffuse into the material of the tube 10a.
  • the rods 30 - e.g. act as glass rods - a nicotine preparation that evaporates at room temperature is deposited as a thin layer 32, which leaves the flow channels 31 open; in section C, the layer 32 is drawn too thick compared to the diameter of the rods 30, only in order to be able to represent it better.
  • a tube 10a with an inner diameter of 7.5 mm is assumed, in the cross section of which a bundle of parallel, circular rods 30 in the number and possible depending on the rod diameter with a length of 50 mm.
  • a liquid nicotine preparation with a volume of 6 mm 3 is evenly distributed over the entire surface of such a carrier structure 24.
  • Table 3 which the resulting geometrical relationships for various rod radii (rod diameters 2.4, 2 and 1.5 mm) are shown in Table 3; as a size comparison for the calculated layer thickness, the incircle radius between three contacting rods 30 is again given (not shown in FIG. 2, C.).
  • the incircle radius is a multiple of the calculated layer thickness, ie the cross section of the channels 31 remains wide open and the capillary action in the "protruding corners" the channels 31 (on either side of a line of contact between two bars 30) remain small.
  • the arrangement - including all the other supporting structures described here - has nothing in common with a porous material which absorbs a liquid and is "saturated” by it. This can also be easily recognized if the total free volume formed by the flow channels 31 or not occupied by the volume of the rods 30 is calculated.
  • the article may be desirable for the article to contain flavorings, for example tobacco flavor, fruit flavors, mint or the like, which are to be inhaled together with the evaporated nicotine.
  • flavorings and / or other additives can be added to liquid pure nicotine, which mixture is introduced into the supporting structure as a nicotine preparation.
  • tobacco flavor oil known per se which is suitable for mixing with pure nicotine, should be mentioned.
  • aroma substances or the like in a separate carrier in addition to the supporting structure in the housing of the article.
  • a separate aroma carrier is shown schematically in FIG. 2 as an air-permeable "plug" 26, for example made of cigarette filter material or the like.
  • plug an air-permeable "plug" 26
  • Such a carrier 26 is expediently arranged in relation to the direction of flow of the air in front of the support structure 24 in the housing; an arrangement behind the support structure seems less suitable, since part of the evaporated nicotine carried in the air stream could then be absorbed again in the material of the carrier 26.
  • the further exemplary embodiment of an article according to FIG. 3 has a housing 10b with a mouthpiece 13, air inlet opening 11 and air outlet opening 12 similar to that in FIG. 1.
  • Support structure 34 for a nicotine preparation has a self-supporting cylindrical body arranged in the housing 10b.
  • it is a solid, open-cell foam body with a structure as can be seen from the greatly enlarged section D.
  • the cavities or "cells" 36 distributed in the interior of the body are connected to one another at numerous points and form a multiplicity of flow channels 37 which run through the support structure 34 and are also "networked" with one another in many ways.
  • a nicotine preparation that evaporates at room temperature is also deposited on the entire surface of the cells 36 or channels 37 as a thin layer that leaves the channels open (the layer is not shown in FIG. 3).
  • the support structure 34 must also be dense, ie non-absorbent, at least on its surface (surface of the cells 36 or the channels 37); glass is the most suitable material.
  • An open-cell foam body with an internal structure roughly according to section D can also be understood as a "positive-negative reversal" of a ball bed, i.e. the open cells or "bubbles" of the foam take the place of the balls in the ball bed.
  • the total surface area of the bubbles is probably somewhat smaller than would be achievable with a ball filling (sum of the ball surfaces), but on the other hand, there are practically no recessed corners in the foam structure and therefore no capillary action.
  • a body that can be used as a support structure 34 can also be produced as a sintered body from a bed of balls or grains of the same or different grain size.
  • the structural properties of the body can be set within wide limits as required; the same applies to the manufacture of open-cell foam bodies.
  • Such structural properties can be important for the introduction of the nicotine preparation and its distribution on the surface, but in particular for the flow resistance of the support structure when air is drawn through.
  • So-called open-pore sintered glass which can be produced with specifically set structural parameters and in the desired outer shape, has proven to be a very suitable material for the support structure 34.
  • An average pore size in a range between approximately 150 and 300 ⁇ m and a pore volume of approximately 50 to 80% may be mentioned merely as an example; such a product is free of binders and largely inert and has a large specific surface area which is readily wettable with the nicotine preparation.
  • a cylindrical stopper of this type 8.5 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length, loaded with 4 mg of pure nicotine, inhalable amounts of nicotine of the order of 12 to 16 ⁇ g can be achieved during the first 100 to 150 puffs.
  • a support structure 44 in the form of a cylindrical tube is arranged in the interior of a cylindrical, broken housing 10c with an air inlet opening 11 and an outlet bore 12.
  • the end of the tube adjacent to the housing opening 11 is closed by a disk 43 and centered between a plurality of support ribs 41 formed on the inside of the housing 10c and distributed over the circumference.
  • the other end of the tube extends over a connecting piece 42 surrounding the bore 12 and is thereby also centered.
  • the tensile resistance and the available total surface area of the flow channels can be set largely independently of one another. (Just as a hint it should be mentioned that the pull resistance of different cigarette brands varies within wide limits between about 35 and 120 mm WS).
  • the support structures are preferably held with a vertical axis, and a measured volume of liquid is applied from a closed container to one end face of the structure by means of a metering device known per se (in the structure 14 according to FIG. 1 with the cover 16 removed).
  • a metering device known per se (in the structure 14 according to FIG. 1 with the cover 16 removed).
  • the liquid preparation spreads quickly over the surface of the flow channels thanks to its good wettability and relatively quickly penetrates to the opposite end of the structure.
  • light shaking or vibrating can promote the spreading of the liquid.
  • the load-bearing structure can be loaded either before or after installation in the housing. In any case, a separate production and "assembly" of the support structure can be quite useful regardless of the housing in the context of a large-scale production.
  • the support structure in all embodiments that, as already mentioned several times, its material should at least be so dense on the surface that the nicotine preparation does not absorb beers.
  • chemically resistant and dense metals or metal alloys, for example aluminum can also be used as materials.
  • Structures made of dense and / or glazed ceramic should also be considered.
  • special plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) or polybutylene terephthalate, which are known to be particularly dense or impermeable, would also be conceivable.
  • Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene
  • polybutylene terephthalate which are known to be particularly dense or impermeable
