Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filter cigarillo with tobacco, a filter in the mouth-side end region and a cover sheet which extends over the entire length of the filter cigarillo.
  • Filtercigarillos have a tobacco rod, which is usually surrounded by a binder and a cover sheet arranged above. At one end of the strand of the filter using a so-called tipping paper (filter pad) is connected to the strand.
  • tipping paper filter pad
  • Filtercigarillos can be seen at first glance, at which end of the filter is arranged so that the user can light the Filtercigarillo easily at the right end.
  • the cover sheet extends over the entire length of the filter cigarillo.
  • the filter is fixed with the tipping paper to the strand wrapped in the binder and then completely covered by the cover. This poses the problem that the user has to look very carefully at which end of the filter cigarillo the filter is located. For example, if the filter has cellulose acetate that is almost white, the end with the filter still can be distinguished by the color of the face from the other end of the filter cigarillo.
  • tobacco filter conceivable, ie filters made of tobacco, which makes a distinction between the two ends of the filter cigarillo very difficult.
  • the FR 2 632 496 A describes a filter cigarillo with tobacco and a filter that resembles a cigarette filter but is shorter.
  • the filter follows the tobacco rod, but does not extend to the mouth end of the filter cigarillo. Behind the filter is still tobacco, which is to maintain the usual feeling of a cigar (or a cigarillos) on the lips.
  • the filter is located under a common cover sheet of tobacco and filter and therefore not visible.
  • the filter cigarillo contains tobacco and a filter in its mouth-side end region.
  • the outer envelope is a cover sheet, which extends over the entire length of the filter cigarillo.
  • the tobacco is surrounded by a binder below the cover sheet, wherein the filter is connected by means of a filter pad with the tobacco leaf wrapped by the binder.
  • a banderole-like marking is provided which is arranged on the mouth-side half of the cover sheet and leaves free the mouth-side end (or the mouth-side end region) of the filter cigarillo.
  • the location of the banderole-like marking points easily to the orientation of the filter cigarillo and the location of its mouth-side end. Since the mouth end itself is not is covered by the banderole-like marking, the properties of the filter cigarillo are not affected by the banderole-like marking in the end region which is relatively important for smoking behavior.
  • the banderole-like marking is designed as a banderole, which extends over the entire circumference of the cover sheet.
  • the band can be made as a separate part and fixed to the cover sheet, e.g. by gluing, preferably by full-surface gluing with the cover sheet.
  • the banderole can also be tightly placed around the cover sheet and fixed to itself so that it can not slip or be pulled over the cover sheet away.
  • a material for the band come, for example Paper, reconstituted tobacco and film material in question, also transparent film material such. Cellophane.
  • the band can also be self-extinguishing equipped to prevent the filter cigarillo from burning completely by mistake. This is achieved, for example, by the addition of fire retardants (such as alginates, cellulose, salts).
  • the band is printed.
  • the banderole-like marking need not be formed as an independent part, but may also be printed on the cover sheet of the filter cigarillo.
  • Banderol printing may be done "on-line” by printing the cover sheet or a bander already wrapped and attached to the cover sheet in the desired manner during the manufacture of the filter cigarillo. In the latter case, the banderole prior to attachment to the cover sheet also already been provided with other imprints or markings.
  • An "off-line” method is particularly suitable for stand-alone banderoles, for example, printed on sheets or endless tapes hangs together and then separated and attached to the cover sheet of Filtercigarillos.
  • the banderole-type marker is decorative, e.g. with a logo. It may also be printed with a warning, an advertisement or a tamper-evident notice or otherwise marked. Holograms are also suitable as markings.
  • a simple banderole-type label e.g. monochrome or with mutually parallel colored stripes which extends over the circumference of the filter cigarillo, is also conceivable.
  • the width of the banding-type marking may be e.g. ranging from 3 mm to 16 mm. Through this information, all intermediate values are also disclosed. Particularly advantageous is a width of about 8 mm.
  • the longitudinal sides of the banderole-like marking that is, the sides running in the circumferential direction of the filter cigarillo
  • the zone of the topsheet between the mouth-side end of the filter cigarillo and the banderole-type marking may e.g. have a width in the range of 10 mm to 30 mm, whereby also all intermediate areas are disclosed, e.g. 17 mm to 19 mm or about 18 mm.
  • the filter cigarillo has a ventilation zone with ventilation openings.
  • the ventilation openings can be produced, for example, by laser perforation or mechanical perforation.
  • the ventilation zone may, for example, in a range of 9 mm to 30 mm from the mouth End of the filter cigarillo (which also includes a small portion thereof or, for example, a circumferentially extending perforation line extending over the full circumference or a portion thereof) or an intermediate portion thereof.
  • the ventilation zone is located outside the filtration area at a distance of 0 mm to 40 mm (or a portion thereof) from the upstream end of the filter, that is, from the end at which the tobacco rod begins. But it does not have to be limited to the tobacco rod (strand ventilation), but can also be arranged additionally or exclusively in the filter area.
  • the ventilation zone may, for example, have one, two or more than two circumferential perforation lines, but other configurations are conceivable.
  • the ventilation zone is preferably dimensioned such that target values or potential regulatory limit values during smoking (in particular according to "Coresta recommended method” No. 64-67 or according to DIN / ISO) are maintained or undershot.
  • the degree of ventilation may range from 10% to 90%, with also all intermediate values being disclosed (e.g., 30% to 70%, 30% to 50%, 10% to 30%, 70% to 90%).
  • a ventilation zone in the mouth-side end region of the filter cigarillo may under some circumstances be barely visible to the naked eye. Also, because of the wrapping with the cover sheet, it can not be seen at which point the smokable tobacco rod ends and the filter portion begins. By placing the banderole-like marking, however, the invention makes it possible to identify the smoker, at which point the filtration area (with ventilation zone and filter material) begins or the area intended for smoking ends.
  • the filter has e.g. a length in the range of 4 mm to 30 mm, wherein also all intermediate areas are disclosed with.
  • a filter length of about 7 mm to 8 mm is advantageous.
  • the filter may be made of a conventional filter material, such as cellulose acetate, but may also comprise regenerated cellulose (e.g., viscose). Other conceivable materials are e.g. Cellulose or paper. Further, additives such as e.g. an adsorbent, activated carbon or an ion exchanger may be provided.
  • a particular advantage of the filter cigarillo according to the invention is shown when the filter has tobacco, since in this case the front ends of the filter cigarillo practically do not differ.
  • a tobacco filter may e.g. also be manufactured by the tobacco rod is compressed in a region which is provided as a filter zone in the production of the filter cigarillo.
  • the filter may also have a hollow mouthpiece. Multi-part filters are also conceivable.
  • the overall length and diameter of the filter cigarillo may be varied over a wide range, e.g. 65 mm to 120 mm for the total length and 5 mm to 12 mm for the diameter. As a result, all intermediate values are also disclosed. Preferred values for the total length are about 84 mm and about 100 mm.
  • the diameter may e.g. about 8 mm. In another embodiment, the diameter is greater than or equal to 10.8 mm (i.e., circumference greater than or equal to 34 mm).
  • cigarillos tobacco can be used as tobacco, eg stripped mixed tobacco.
  • mixtures typical of cigartts for example Burley, Virginia and / or Oriental tobaccos, which can also be used as stripped mixed tobacco.
  • the mass of the tobacco material contained in the filter cigarillo is e.g. in the range of 0.5 g to 3.0 g or at an intermediate value thereof, and is preferably either greater than (or equal to) 1.2 g or greater than (or equal to) 2.3 g.
  • the mass refers to the entire tobacco material, ie the tobacco intended for smoking in the tobacco rod and any tobacco (e.g., reconstituted tobacco) in the binder and / or cover sheet.
  • Embodiments with a tobacco mass of 2.3 g or more are particularly suitable for filter cigarillos that have no binder and in which the cover sheet is wound axially (not helically); the diameter is preferably at least 10.8 mm (i.e., the circumference is at least 34 mm).
  • the cover sheet of the filter cigarillo may (as well as the binder) have reconstituted tobacco.
  • the cover sheet is wound helical.
  • An advantageous pitch angle of the winding is about 30 ° (measured with respect to the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarillo, the pitch angle is defined differently here than with a screw thread). It is also conceivable that the cover sheet is not wound helical.
  • a helically wrapped cover sheet can also be designed as a natural cover sheet, so in particular be made of a tobacco leaf.
  • the banderole-like marking allows the filter cigarillo according to the invention a fast and reliable distinction of the end provided with the filter of the end to be ignited. Furthermore, the banderole-like marking can make clear a ventilation zone, so that the observation of boundary values is ensured during smoking, and it can clarify the position of the filtration zone with respect to the zone intended for smoking. In addition, the banderole-type marking provides an opportunity to filter cigarillo in an appealing way to shape or distinguish from cigarettes.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic longitudinal section through an embodiment of the invention Filtercigarillos.
