Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a smoking article with variable ventilation and in particular to a filter cigarette with variable ventilation.
  • Filter cigarettes typically comprise a cylindrical rod of tobacco cut filler surrounded by a paper wrapper and a cylindrical filter axially aligned in an abutting end-to-end relationship with the wrapped tobacco rod.
  • the wrapped tobacco rod and the filter are joined by a band of tipping paper that circumscribes the entire length of the filter and an adjacent portion of the wrapped tobacco rod.
  • the tipping paper may be provided with one or more circumferential rows of perforations at a location along the filter in order to ventilate mainstream tobacco smoke produced during combustion of the wrapped tobacco rod with ambient air.
  • Filter cigarettes having mechanisms for varying the level of ventilation obtained during smoking, which enable a consumer to vary the ratio of ambient air to mainstream smoke delivered to their mouth are also known.
  • US-A-4,570,649 discloses a variable dilution filter cigarette comprising a substantially cylindrical tobacco rod, a substantially cylindrical filter plug, a plug wrap circumscribing the filter plug and a tipping paper circumscribing the plug wrap and a portion of the tobacco rod. At least one of the plug wrap and the tipping paper is air impermeable.
  • the plug wrap is divided into a mouth-end band, a central band and a rod-end band having a first opening therein.
  • the mouth-end and rod-end bands are fixed to the filter, while the central band is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the filter plug.
  • the tipping paper is divided into a first band and a second band.
  • the first band of the tipping paper extends from the mouth end of the filter plug to a position overlying the rod-end band of the plug wrap and is attached only to the central band of the plug wrap for rotation therewith about the longitudinal axis of the filter plug.
  • the first band has a second opening therein overlying the rod-end band of the plug wrap such that rotation of the first band rotates the second opening into varying degrees of registry with the first opening in the rod-end band thereby varying the level of dilution obtained during smoking.
  • the second band of the tipping paper extends from the first band to a position on the tobacco rod and joins the tobacco rod to the filter plug.
  • Smoking articles with other mechanisms for varying the level of ventilation obtained during smoking are also known.
  • a smoking article with variable ventilation comprising: a rod of smokable material; a mouthpiece comprising an element rotatable relative to the rest of smoking article about the longitudinal axis thereof to vary the level of ventilation obtained during smoking of the smoking article; and a ventilation indicator comprising a scale extending circumferentially about the periphery of the smoking article and a cursor.

  • Figure 5 shows the filter cigarette 30 in a low ventilation "closed” position, in which the sleeve 34 is rotated to a position in which the openings 35 in the filter wrapper 33 are completely covered by the sleeve 34. In this "closed” position, the openings in the air impermeable filter wrapper 33 are substantially sealed by the sleeve. During smoking of the cigarette 30 in the "closed” position, a low level of air dilution of the mainstream smoke is therefore obtained.
  • the level of air dilution of the mainstream smoke is high as a result of a high level of ventilation and conversely, in the "closed” position, the level of air dilution of the mainstream smoke is low as a result of a low level of ventilation.
  • the ventilation obtained is effectively varied through rotation of the sleeve.
  • the filter cigarette 30 further comprises a ventilation indicator 5 (not shown) comprising a cursor 7 and a scale 9 like those shown in Figures 1 and 2 , one of the cursor 7 and the scale 9 being located on the exterior of the sleeve 34 and the other of the cursor 7 and the scale 9 being located on either the rod end band 37 of tipping paper or the mouth end band 32 of tipping paper.

  • the wrapped filter segment 31 and wrapped tobacco rod 1 may be produced in a conventional manner.
  • a pre-perforated sheet of tipping paper is used to provide the rod end 37 and mouth end 32 bands and the sleeve 34.
  • the layer of tipping paper includes a first row of perforations 10 mm from one end, which must be broken to form the mouth end band, and a second row of perforations 12 mm from the first row, which must be broken to separate the central and rod end bands.
  • a double length of tipping paper may be used if preferred, as in conventional manufacturing processes.
  • One or more specially shaped guides are incorporated into the conventional cigarette making equipment in order to break the lines of perforation in the tipping paper and ensure that they are glued in the correct position on the cigarette. Additional cutting knives may also be incorporated to cut one or more of the lines of perforation. All of the lines of perforation are broken during the manufacturing process, at the same or different stages, to ensure that the cigarette is provided to the consumer ready for use, with the sleeve already able to rotate freely and easily around the filter. The openings in the filter wrapper and the sleeve are made simultaneously using a laser, once the filter cigarette has been assembled.
