Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a filter tip attachment.
  • a filter tip attachment forms an intermediate product by arranging a filter plug between two cigarettes, and then wraps the intermediate product in a tip paper to form a double filter cigarette (see, for example, JP 2002-176965 A ).
  • the intermediate product is made to pass through passages between various drums and between drums and members in the process of winding the tip paper around the intermediate product.
  • gaps defining the passage are smaller than the diameter of the filter, so that the filter is made to pass through the passage while being compressed.
  • the capsule may be broken when passing through the narrow passage. It is also considered to cope with this problem by reducing the size of the capsule.
  • the size of the capsule is reduced, the amount of perfume in the capsule is limited.
  • the size of the capsule is extremely reduced to make it difficult to enable a sufficient amount of flavor to be enclosed in the capsule.
  • the filter when the filter is made to pass through the narrow passage, the filter may be compressed so that the shape of the hollow portion of the filter is deformed.
  • EP 0 679 345 A1 is related to the preamble of claim 1, and DE 15 32 097 A1 and DE 23 49 812 A1 show similar devices.
  • the present invention is to provide a filter tip attachment which is capable of, when a filter is attached to a cigarette by using a tip paper, preventing damage of a capsule enclosed in the filter or preventing deformation of a hollow portion of the filter.
  • the present invention is to provide a filter tip attachment device configured to form an intermediate product of a double filter cigarette by arranging a filter plug between two cigarettes, and then to form the double filter cigarette by winding around the intermediate product tip paper with an adhesive applied to one surface thereof

  • the filter tip attachment device comprising: a guide member arranged to be adjacent to the second conveying drum along the circumferential direction of the second conveying drum and configured to enable the tip paper to be wound around the intermediate product, where the intermediate product is rolled in contact with the guide member.
  • a groove is formed on the guide member along the circumferential direction of the second conveying drum facing the guide member, the groove being adapted to prevent the filter plug from being deformed.
  • the groove includes chamfered sections formed by chamfering side wall upper portions of the groove along the longitudinal direction of the groove.
