Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tobacco cartridge according to the preamble main claim.
  • Such tobacco cartridges for self-production of cigarettes are for self-rolling of cigarettes from DE-PS 889 578, from NL-PS 6 703 935 and both for self-rolling and for stuffing in sleeves from DE-OS 3 244 906 and also from DE -U-8326 921 and DE-U-8309 186 known. All of these cartridges are based on the fact that their circumference or casing consists of completely smokable material, but is so permeable to air that the cartridge itself is not smokable, but can only be consumed by smoking after it has been introduced into a cigarette paper tube.
  • the same tobacco cartridge is proposed as a system in accordance with DE-OS 3 407 461 and EU-A-0 155 514, which, in addition to the usual dimensional stability of a prefabricated cartridge, are dimensioned in terms of length and cross section is that it lies close to the inner surface of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the object of the invention is to facilitate the introduction of such tobacco cartridges prefabricated from a tobacco rod into the corresponding cigarette paper tube and to save both tobacco and to propose a tobacco cartridge which gives a full smoke taste even on the first puffs.
  • a tobacco cartridge that either has an intersecting surface that runs obliquely to the longitudinal plane or that has an arched or wedge-shaped intersecting surface that extends perpendicularly or obliquely to the longitudinal plane has an advantage that has an effect in three directions. Both the oblique cutting and the curved or wedge-shaped cutting line make it much easier to insert the tobacco cartridge into the sleeve.
  • the tip of the obliquely cut cartridge can be inserted more easily into it with a slight inclination of the cigarette paper sleeve, whereas with an arcuate or wedge-shaped cut surface the insertion is independent of whether the lowest point of the arc or the wedge-shaped incision towards the center the tobacco cartridge is directed or points in the opposite direction as a shape-symmetrical projection which can result when the next cigarette is cut off at the end of the previous cigarette.
  • this area can be easily compressed and inserted into the sleeve.
  • this depression is found only on one end face of the cartridge, while the subsequent cartridge - if a cutting knife with only one blade is used - has a corresponding outward facing Has curvature or a corresponding outward wedge.
  • This outward curvature or wedge also facilitates the insertion of the cartridge.
  • the further advantage that results from the beveling of the end face or from the arc-shaped or wedge-shaped depression at one end of the cartridge or the elevation at the other end of the cartridge is that protruding areas are created when the cartridge is inserted into the cigarette tube, that the cigarette cartridge is not adapted to the length of the cigarette tube.
  • the protruding tip abuts the filter plug, and there is an area not filled with tobacco in the immediate vicinity of the filter plug, which is surrounded by the wrapping sheet, which completely surrounds the filter plug and the lower body of the adjoining sleeve made of cigarette paper surrounds.
  • This empty space also arises when the cut surface cut in the shape of an arc or wedge is inserted into the cigarette paper tube, regardless of whether the quasi-hollowed-out area is inserted first or the corresponding congruent projecting part is inserted first.
  • the space not filled with tobacco in the vicinity of the filter plug is therefore either in the corresponding arcuate or wedge-shaped cavity or peripherally around the protrusions congruently corresponding to the cavity.
  • This reduction in the amount of tobacco results both from the bevel and from the arc-shaped or wedge-shaped recess at the ignitable outer end of the tobacco cartridge, which also contributes to the increase in the number of tobacco cartridges from, for example, 30 to 32 cartridges in a 25 g fine-cut pack.
  • the third advantage which surprisingly results both when the tobacco cartridge is cut diagonally and when the end face is cut in an arcuate or wedge shape, is based on the enlargement of the cut area compared to the cross-sectional area running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. It is generally known that, particularly in the case of cigarettes with a ventilated filter, the first and also the second pull on a cigarette appears relatively weak or weak in taste. This is due to the fact that the entire tobacco rod acts as a filter and the taste profile in the mainstream smoke only develops after the second draft. By increasing the ignitable cut area compared to the usual cross-sectional area of the cigarette rod, more tobacco is smoked, whereby the main stream smoke is enriched in aroma and flavor despite the filtering effect of the originally very long tobacco rod.
  • an enlargement of the cut area in the area of the end face compared to the smaller cross-sectional area perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cigarette results in better threading possibilities of the tobacco cartridge, on the other hand, a saving in tobacco through the formation of a cavity in the close vicinity of the mouthpiece area which is covered by the cover sheet and which is not smoked anyway and more flavor on at least the first or second puff of cigarette.
  • FIG. 1 shows the tobacco rod 2, which corresponds to the tobacco filling of a finished cigarette.
  • This tobacco rod is surrounded by an air-permeable covering 4, which is so permeable to air that the tobacco cartridge as such cannot be smoked, although it can be consumed by smoking after being inserted into the cigarette paper sleeve.
  • the cigarette paper sleeve consists of a sleeve 6 made of conventional cigarette paper and a filter cartridge 8, both of which are connected to one another by a wrapping sheet 10 or mouthpiece sheet.
  • both the front cutting surface 20 and the rear cutting surface 20 ' is cut obliquely at an angle ⁇ by an oblique cut on the respective end face.
  • This angle of attack ⁇ is generally in a range from 3 to 25 °, a setting angle of 5 to 10 ° being preferred.
  • the larger this angle of attack ⁇ the larger the cut area in relation to the cross-sectional area and the larger the cavity b between filter plug 8 and tobacco cartridge and consequently the tobacco savings.
  • the greater the angle of attack ⁇ the easier it is to insert and also the tobacco savings in area a) at the end of the tobacco cartridge to be lit.
  • the angle of attack ⁇ is limited by the increasing crumb loss of tobacco that is no longer stable in a completely cylindrical casing; this loss of crumbs can be reduced by using expanded tobacco or in some other way, for example by strengthening the cigarette head.
  • the cut surface 20 ' is not carried out up to the casing 4, so that there is a shorter cut surface 22 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tobacco cartridge.
  • the angle of attack ⁇ can be varied accordingly in order to achieve an empty space a ', which can be tobacco-saving both on the ignitable side of the tobacco cartridge and on the side lying on the filter plug.
  • Such a tobacco cartridge shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 can be manufactured on conventional machines without difficulty; the tobacco rod is cut with self-sharpening circular knives not at right angles to the longitudinal axis as before, but at the angle of attack ⁇ either completely over the entire diameter of the tobacco cartridge or as shown in Figure 2, either in two steps or with two knives once vertically and to the other Cut at an angle to the central axis.
  • the tobacco rod is separated as shown in Figure 4 by an arcuate or crescent-shaped movable up and down knife so that there is a tobacco cartridge, one end surface of which is cut out 20 ⁇ arcuate, while the the other end is arched 20 förmig.
  • the bulging region 20 ′′′ of the tobacco cartridge that automatically results from cutting off the strand is easier to insert into the cigarette paper sleeve due to the “torpedo-like design” and results in a tobacco-free space in the periphery in the area of the filter plug. Furthermore, the ignition area with the retracted cut surface 20 ⁇ has a larger surface, which contributes to increasing the aroma.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b or FIG. 6, show wedge-shaped incisions with a wedge-shaped recess 24 and a wedge-shaped projection 26.
  • FIG. 5a it does not matter to the consumer whether he first introduces the tobacco cartridge according to FIG. 5a with the wedge-shaped taper 26 into the cigarette tube, which is facilitated by the wedge-shaped taper and at the same time achieves a peripheral clearance a ′′′ without tobacco in the area of the filter plug 8 is and in the burning area of the cigarette in the wedge-shaped recess 24 a larger cut surface is obtained, which increases the taste and aroma during the first or second pull, or whether the tobacco cartridge is inserted in the opposite manner as shown in FIG.
  • the wedge-shaped recess 24 being slightly compressed by the wrapping Insertion into the cigarette paper sleeve is facilitated and in turn enables a tobacco-free space in the area of the filter plug 8, becomes, while at the ignited end of the tobacco cartridge the projecting wedge 26 results in an increase in the cut area and thus an improvement in the quality of the main current smoke.
  • the arcuate or wedge-shaped recess 20 ⁇ is arranged off-center with respect to the central axis of the cigarette.
  • the wedge-shaped recess 24 ' is arranged off-center in Figure 8.
  • These embodiments may be of interest in special cases, but do not adversely affect the surface area of the burnable side which is enlarged according to the invention and also do not impair the empty space in the area of the filter plug.
  • the cut surface can also be trapezoidal.
  • the tobacco cartridge beveled at one end or cut into a crescent or wedge shape, while the opposite end is cut off perpendicular to the central axis of the cartridge.
  • This can be made possible with obliquely cut tobacco cartridges with two different circular knives or with crescent-shaped or wedge-shaped cut faces with a double-bladed knife or a double-edged hollow knife, which for serial production with continuous strand production may only be possible with greater effort or with loss of production speed.
