Definitions
- the Bjrfmdung relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes ⁇ ach according to claim 1 or 2.
- a filter cigarette is known from DJE 36 35 95J8 or US 4 80! ⁇ 47, in which the filter consists of two air-permeable components aligned in the longitudinal direction, with a common covering.
- the first component is intended to produce a relatively large pressure drop in the longitudinal direction of the filter, but in the radial direction of the filter is to be essentially impermeable to air over its entire cross section.
- the second component is intended to produce a relatively low pressure drop in the longitudinal direction of the filter, which should also be permeable to air in the radial direction.
- the components can meet or
- the structure of the known cigarette is such that the one filter component has its own covering and the common covering also represents the covering for the second component.
- the latter is also the wrapping for the tobacco rod.
- the filter section is connected to the tobacco rod with the help of a further covering, which covers the tobacco stick at the facing end for a certain partial length.
- the manufacture of such a filter cigarette is extremely complex.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a filter cigarette with essentially the components of the known filter cigarette, which can be carried out in a simple and effective manner and with which the filter structure can be varied in various ways in a simple manner.
- an endless strand is produced from each filter material.
- the respective filter material is e.g. Acetate or carbon granules.
- First and second sections with their covering of predetermined length are separated from these endless strands.
- the length for both sections is e.g. or preferably the same.
- a further endless strand is formed from the first and second sections in that the sections are lined up one after the other.
- Alignment takes place at a predetermined distance from one another, according to an exemplary embodiment 3 to 6 cm, the row being continuously encased in a further covering.
- Double feed sections are produced from this further endless strand.
- Each double filter section has three sections, namely a first section of half length in the end regions and a second section of full length in the middle or vice versa.
- the other filter section e.g. consists of acetate or a paper filter to be provided at the end of the mouthpiece. This happens primarily from aesthetic
- the arrangement of the sections in the double filter section is such that the half-length end sections consist of the filter material that is to form the end of the mouthpiece.
- the double filter sections are then each arranged between two tobacco sticks and connected to them and severed in the middle. This is usually done on a corresponding drum of a cigarette maker.
- a distance between the filter parts can be easily generated to form a ventilation chamber of the desired length.
- the filter sections are arranged in abutting manner when creating the third endless strand, and when connecting to the tobacco rod, a corresponding chamber is created by forming a distance.
- the wrapping around the filter part can be perforated as desired. A geometrically defined perforation drilling arrangement is not necessary.
- FIG. 1 shows in perspective a filter cigarette according to the prior art.
- Fig. 3 shows a section through a filter cigarette, which has been produced by the inventive method.
- the filter cigarette 10 according to FIG. 1 is composed of a tobacco rod 12 and a filter part 18.
- the tobacco rod consists of a tobacco rod section 14 which is surrounded by a paper wrapper 16.
- the filter part 18 consists of a first filter section 20 and a second filter section 22, which consist of different materials and are arranged at a distance from one another, which results in a distance which is indicated by the dashed line 24.
- the two filter sections 20, 22 are connected to the tobacco rod 12 by means of a common covering, which is indicated at 26.
- endless strands are produced from the filter material for the first and second filters, as shown in FIG. 1 (not shown).
- the filter material can e.g. on the one hand consist of acetate or paper filter and on the other hand of carbon granulate. Both are known per se.
- the endless strands are each covered with a suitable covering, e.g. made of paper.
- First and second sections of predetermined, preferably the same length are produced from the endless strands. This can be done in stages, e.g. Sections of a length of 132 m are first produced, which are then subdivided into lengths of 44 mm, which in turn are then separated again into sections of 22 mm in length and which then, as shown in FIG. 2, alternately to form a further endless strand be ranked.
- the sections are designated 30 and 32 in FIG. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the sections 30, 32 are each lined up in pairs, with a gap of e.g. 3 to 6 mm is left. This gap is denoted by 34.
- This endless strand is provided with a covering (not shown) during its manufacture.
- the endless strand is, as also indicated in FIG. 2, divided into double filter sections 36.
- Each double filter is, which are then subdivided into lengths of 44 mm, which in turn are then separated again into sections of 22 mm in length and which then, as shown in FIG. 2, alternately to form
- ... / 5 section is composed of a central section 32 and end sections, each of which is formed by half the length of a section 30.
- the enveloped double filter sections 36 are arranged between two tobacco sticks.
- the distance 34 has remained the same.
- FIG. 3 shows a further distance 50 which is formed between the filter section 42 and the tobacco rod 46. This becomes either an alternative to the distance
- the casing 48 or the casing 44 can be perforated in any known manner. It is not necessary to drill perforations at certain points. The perforation of wrappings is also known per se.
- the method described can be carried out using known machines for producing filter cigarettes. A special outlay on equipment is not required.
