Definitions

  • Disposable nicotine depot for a smoke-free cigarette and a smoke-free cigarette with such a disposable nicotine depot is Disposable nicotine depot for a smoke-free cigarette and a smoke-free cigarette with such a disposable nicotine depot
  • the invention relates to a disposable nicotine depot for a smoke-free cigarette, with a depot carrier for receiving and defined release of a predetermined amount of nicotine. Furthermore, the invention relates to a smoke-free cigarette according to the preamble of claim 12 with such a disposable nicotine depot.
  • cigarettes usually consist of tobacco wrapped in paper or a tobacco leaf and a filter element attached to the mouthpiece.
  • tobacco burns out and releases nicotine, which is carried along by the smoke to be inhaled by the smoker.
  • tobacco In the combustion of tobacco other substances are released or generated in addition to nicotine, which are often harmful to health, such as tar, arsenic and cadmium compounds and carcinogenic compounds such as hydrazine, chrysene, formaldehyde, Nietrosamine and the like.
  • smoke-free cigarettes are products in which the tobacco is only heated without being burned, so that although the desired nicotine is released, the formation of harmful substances is avoided.
  • Another approach for a smoke-free cigarette is described in DE 103 21 379 A1. In this smokeless cigarette is heated by means of an electric heater air and the heated air passed through a disposable nicotine depot, in which a predetermined amount of nicotine is added. The nicotine is released by the heated air and inhaled by the user.
  • this object is achieved by a disposable nicotine depot having the features of claim 1 and in particular that the gas-tight sealed depot carrier at least one at ambient temperature, in particular room temperature, at least partially present in their gas phase carrier for the nicotine and only to release the with Add nicotine to open gaseous vehicle. Furthermore, this object is achieved by a smoke-free cigarette according to claim 12, which is equipped with such a disposable nicotine depot.
  • An essential idea on which the invention is based is to use at least one carrier substance, which, at least partly already at normal ambient temperature, ie at temperatures which are significantly below the usual combustion temperatures for example at temperatures of less than 50 0 C as in its gas phase. It is advantageous if the carrier is already present at low temperatures, such as at room temperature, which is usually at 21 0 C, in sufficient amount in its gas phase.
  • the proportion of the gas phase at a temperature of 21 0 C at up to 90%. Usually, the proportion is in a range of 10 to 80%, preferably 30 to 60%, particularly preferably at least 50%.
  • the carrier substance must also be suitable in its gas phase to take up the nicotine in sufficient quantity so that the user can take the desired predetermined amount of nicotine when inhaling the gaseous carrier substance.
  • Volatile substances are suitable as carrier substance.
  • the carrier substance can be flavored at the same time by aromatic substances or can itself serve as a flavoring agent.
  • the use of a carrier the use of a mixture of several carriers and / or flavorings is possible. So that the user can enjoy the smoke-free cigarette, as in the conventional cigarettes, at any time without much effort, the depot carrier of the disposable nicotine depot according to the invention is again gas-tight, so that an undesirable escape of the gaseous carrier with nicotine from the depot carrier is prevented.
  • a depot carrier is a gas-tight container, for example, from laminated paper or an environmentally friendly plastic.
  • a carrier material for example cellulose
  • the user only has to open the depot carrier and then inhale the escaping carrier substance which has been mixed with nicotine.
  • the disposable nicotine depot it is proposed to provide at least one section to be opened for release of nicotine at the depot carrier, which section is provided with a membrane sealing off the depot carrier gas-tight.
  • a membrane is, for example, a film of a non-compatible plastic, a suitable paint, a suitable paint system or protein. To release nicotine only the membrane must be at least partially torn or destroyed, so that the nicotine-added gaseous carrier substance can escape.
  • the depot carrier with a gas-impermeable membrane.
  • a gas-impermeable membrane This has the particular advantage that particularly cost-effective materials can be used for the depot carrier, such as a sleeve of paper, which is coated accordingly.
  • the depot carrier is provided with a diaphragm that produces the gas-tightness.
  • the depot carrier itself is already provided with a triggering device which cooperates with the membrane such that when the proper operation of the triggering device of the depot carrier, the membrane is opened or destroyed to release nicotine.
  • a triggering device for example, an embedded in the membrane activation pen, which destroys the membrane for nicotine release by a movement relative to the depot carrier.
  • the depot carrier is preferably sleeve-shaped and is at least partially filled with a carrier material containing the nicotine and the carrier substance. In this way, a uniform distribution of the carrier substance and nicotine in the depot carrier is ensured.
  • a carrier material is for example Zellusloseacetat that is mixed with the carrier and nicotine.
  • the depot carrier itself is made of a carrier material and correspondingly gas-tight encased by a membrane.
  • the depot carrier instead of the mentioned membrane, which is to destroy nicotine release, it is alternatively proposed to provide the depot carrier with a gas-tight closing valve assembly which is open to release nicotine.
  • the use of a valve arrangement has the advantage that the filling of the depot carrier with the carrier substance and the nicotine can be realized comparatively easily on a large scale with correspondingly large quantities.
  • a sleeve-shaped depot carrier For example, if a sleeve-shaped depot carrier is used, it is proposed to first close the two open ends of the sleeve-shaped depot carrier on one side, to fill the depot carrier and then to close the other open end of the depot carrier. The valves must then be moved to nicotine release only in their open positions.
  • valves for simplification and defined filling of the depot carrier is also proposed in the previously described embodiment with valves, in which of the Both valves limited portion of the depot carrier to use the previously described, containing the nicotine and the carrier carrier material.
  • diaphragm valves which open in the same flow direction and open to release nicotine at a predetermined negative pressure acting in the direction of flow are used as valves.
  • the diaphragm valves in a smokeless cigarette are inserted so that when the user first draws on the mouthpiece of the smokeless cigarette, the diaphragm valves open and remain in their open position during further use.
  • each of the valves is provided with a sealing element, which for gas-tight sealing of the portion containing the carrier material to the section on both sides abende valve seats to the plant, the nicotine release from the Valve seats are wegzubewegen.

  • the disposable nicotine depot itself is not provided with a triggering device, it is proposed on the smoke-free cigarette to open the provide gas-tight nicotine depots designed activation device. This is particularly advantageous if the nicotine depot is integrated into the smoke-free cigarette.
  • the smoke-free cigarettes in which the depot carrier of the nicotine depot has a section to be opened for nicotine, which is provided with a gas-tight membrane sealing the depot carrier, proposes to provide a sharp-edged separating element as activation device on the cigarette body during a relative movement between the membrane and the separating element, the membrane is at least partially destroyed to nicotine release.
  • a separating element for example in the form of a cutting edge or a sharp-edged toothing, on the one hand is easy to form and on the other hand enables a simple and trouble-free opening of the membrane on the other hand.
  • the relative movement can be effected by axial penetration of the separating element into the membrane, optionally by a supporting rotational movement.
  • the depot carrier in a development of the embodiment with separating elements proposed to arrange the depot carrier between two sharp-edged separating elements, which is closed only at its the dividing elements facing portions each with a membrane.
  • the distance between the separating elements must be reduced so that the separating elements penetrate into the membranes and at least partially destroy them.
  • the cigarette body is formed from two sleeves, which are to be connected to each other, preferably by nesting, releasably.
  • one of the two separating elements is provided, so that when assembling the sleeves, the membranes of the disposable nicotine depot, which is arranged between the separating elements, be at least partially destroyed by the release elements for nicotine release.
