Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for inserting objects into a component of a smoking article (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, or the like).
- a component of a smoking article e.g., cigarettes, cigars, or the like.
- principles of the present invention may be used to insert objects into the filter of a smoking article, such as into the "gap" of a "plug-gap-plug” arrangement.
- the devices and methods can be used to insert objects between adjacent tobacco rods, between a tobacco rod and an adjacent filter segment, or between other components of smoking articles, as one skilled in the art can appreciate based on this disclosure.
- the objects can be beads, flavor capsules, water-filled capsules, or pellets, but other types of objects are also possible.
- the objects can be used to enhance the sensory attributes of cigarette smoke.
- the objects can be used as vehicles to add flavor or other substances to mainstream smoke.
- Exemplary filter material types that can be used with the present invention include acetate tow, gathered acetate web, polypropylene tow, gathered paper, reconstructed tobacco fibers, and the like.
- the objects O may be arranged in alternating orientations with respect to one another, for example pointing towards or away from one another, but other configurations are also possible. For example, in certain embodiments, all objects O may point in the same direction.
- FIGS 6 and 7 show the various components that combine the objects O and filter rod segments P.
- General can a or multiple delivery tubes 120 receive the objects O from the bulk supply facility and the objects O, for example, in the in figure 5 supply shown configuration.
- compressed air can be used to deliver the objects O within delivery tubes 120, however, other embodiments are possible.
