Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a packing material that combines a plurality of segments constituting a smoking article.
- the existing combustion-type smoking articles are generally composed of a smoking material section and a filter section.
- a cylindrical first rod section is formed as a smoking material section 100 is wrapped by a first cover 100a
- a cylindrical second rod section is formed as a filter section (i.e., a plurality of filters 110 and 120) is wrapped by one or more second covers 110a, 120a, and 130.
- the first rod section and the second rod section are coupled to each other by a tip paper 140 wrapping a portion of the first rod section and the entire second rod section.
- the length of the smoking material section 100 in the existing combustion-type smoking article 10 is generally about 57 mm, and the length of the filter section including the plurality of filters 110 and 120 is about 27 mm.
- a region where a user bites the smoking article 10 when smoking is located about 12 mm from the end of the filter section, and thus, when the filter portion includes the plurality of filters 110 and 120, the region where a user bites the smoking article 10 when smoking may correspond to a position where the plurality of filters 110 and 120 abut each other.
- the tip paper 140 has an advantage of preventing the filter section including the filters 110 and 120 from being broken.
- three or more layers of paper materials i.e., the second covers 110a, 120a, and 130 and the tip paper 140
- the manufacturing process of the smoking article 10 is complicated and the cost of the smoking article 10 is high. Accordingly, there is a need for a technology that simplifies the manufacturing process of a smoking article and reduces the manufacturing cost thereof.
- a packing material combining a plurality of segments constituting a smoking article may have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and a tensile strength of 6.0 kgf/15 mm or more, and the average length of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material may be in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.
- the present disclosure may provide a packing material that combines a plurality of segments constituting a smoking article.
- the packing material according to the present disclosure may have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and a tensile strength of 6.0 kgf/15 mm or more, and the average length of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material may be in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.
- the packing material according to the present disclosure has a high basis weight and a high tensile strength by adjusting the average length of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material, even if the smoking article does not include a separate tip paper, a plurality of segments in the smoking article may be stably combined. Accordingly, the manufacturing process of the smoking article may be simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the smoking article may be reduced.
- a packing material combining a plurality of segments constituting a smoking article may have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and a tensile strength of 6.0 kgf/15 mm or more, and the average length of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material may be in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.
- the packing material may have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and 100 gsm or less, and the average length of the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material may be in a range of 1.8 mm or more and 2.1 mm or less.
- the plurality of segments may include, in order, a smoking material section, an intermediate structure, a cooling structure, and a filter, and the packing material may be formed to entirely wrap the plurality of segments.
- the smoking material section, the intermediate structure, the cooling structure, and the filter may be wrapped by separate covers, respectively, and the packing material may be formed to entirely wrap the smoking material section, the intermediate structure, the cooling structure, and the filter, which are wrapped by the separate covers, respectively.
- the plurality of segments may include, in order, a front filter, a smoking material section, an intermediate structure, and a rear filter, and the packing material may be formed to entirely wrap the plurality of segments.
- the front filter, the smoking material section, the intermediate structure, and the rear filter may be wrapped by separate covers, respectively, and the packing material may be formed to entirely wrap the front filter, the smoking material section, the intermediate structure, and the rear filter, which are wrapped by the separate covers, respectively.
- the present embodiments relate to a packing material that combines a plurality of segments constituting a smoking article. Aspects well known to one of ordinary skill in the art will not be described in detail.
- FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of a smoking article according to some embodiments.
- a smoking article 20 may include a smoking material section 210, an intermediate structure 220, a cooling structure 230, a filter 240, a first cover 210a, a second cover 220a, a third cover 230a, a fourth cover 240a, and a packing material 250.
- the smoking article 20 may be a heating-type cigarette used with an aerosol-generating apparatus.
- the smoking material section 210 may contain an aerosol-generating material.
- the smoking material section 210 may include a strand of tobacco.
- the aerosol-generating material may include at least one of glycerin, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, and oleyl alcohol.
- the smoking material section 210 may have an elongated rod shape, and the length of the smoking material section 210 may vary and may, in an optional embodiment, be about 7 millimeters to about 15 millimeters, for example, 12 millimeters. Furthermore, the diameter of the smoking material section 210 may be about 7 millimeters to about 9 millimeters, for example, 7.9 millimeters.
- the smoking material section 210 may contain other additives such as a flavoring agent, a wetting agent and/or an acetate compound.
- the flavoring agent may include licorice, sucrose, fructose syrup, isosweet, cocoa, lavender, cinnamon, cardamom, celery, fenugreek, cascarilla, sandalwood, bergamot, geranium, honey essence, rose oil, vanilla, lemon oil, orange oil, mint oil, cinnamon, caraway, cognac, jasmine, chamomile, menthol, ylang-ylang, salvia, spearmint, ginger, coriander, coffee, or the like.
- the wetting agent may include glycerin, propylene glycol, or the like.
- the smoking material section 210 may include a reconstituted tobacco material having a piece such as a rod.

- the packing material 250 may contact the first cover 210a, the second cover 220a, the third cover 230a, and the fourth cover 240a while wrapping the first cover 210a, the second cover 220a, the third cover 230a, and the fourth cover 240a.
- the tensile strength of the packing material 250 increases.
- the stiffness of the packing material 250 increases, and thus, as the basis weight and tensile strength of the packing material 250 increases, the plurality of segments wrapped by the packing material 250 may be stably combined, and when a user smokes, the possibility that the smoking article 20 composed of the plurality of segments is broken may be lowered.
- the basis weight and tensile strength of the packing material 250 excessively increases, it may be difficult to manufacture the smoking article 20 as a cylindrical rod due to resilience caused by the high stiffness of the packing material 250. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the ranges of basis weight and tensile strength at which the plurality of segments wrapped by the packing material 250 may be stably combined and the smoking article 20 may be easily manufactured as a rod.
- Table 1 below is a table showing the degree of breakage of the smoking article 20 in a border region between the plurality of segments according to the basis weight and tensile strength of the packing material 250.
- the degree of breakage of the smoking article 20 in the border region between the plurality of segments was determined by a sensory evaluation based on the number of broken smoking articles when 20 smoking articles 20 were smoked.
- the packing material 250 may be manufactured to have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and a tensile strength of 6.0 kgf/15 mm or more.
- Table 2 below is a table summarizing how many minutes a rod manufacturing operation is performed under the condition that a combiner speed is 500 rod per minute (rpm), in order to determine whether it is easy to manufacture the smoking article 20 as a rod (it is assumed that the circumference of the rod is 23 mm.).
- the basis weight of the packing material 250 exceeds 100 gsm, the stiffness of the packing material 250 excessively increases, resulting in insufficient rod manufacturing workability. Therefore, the basis weight of the packing material 250 has to be determined to be 100 gsm or less in order to be easy enough to manufacture the smoking article 20 as a rod. Therefore, the packing material 250 may be manufactured to have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and 100 gsm or less.
- the tensile strength of the packing material 250 is closely related to the lengths of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250.
- Table 3 below is a table showing the tensile strength of packing material 250 according to the average length of cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 when the basis weight of packing material 250 is 60 g/m 2 .
- the tensile strength of the packing material 250 increases as the average length of the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 decreases. Specifically, by increasing the freeness, a combination area between the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 may increase, and as the freeness increases, the cellulose pulp fibers are softened and fibrillated to improve contact between the cellulose pulp fibers. Therefore, the tensile strength of the packing material 250 may increase. In addition, as the tensile strength of the packing material 250 increases, the stiffness of the packing material 250 may also increase. Therefore, it can be seen that adjusting the average length of the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 may determine the basis weight or tensile strength of the packing material 250 in an appropriate range.
- the average length of the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 has to be determined in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less in order for the packing material 250 to have a basis weight of 60 gsm or more and 100 gsm or less and a tensile strength of 6.0 kgf/15 mm or more.
- the average length of the cellulose pulp fibers constituting the packing material 250 may be determined in a range of 1.8 mm or more and 2.1 mm or less.

- FIG. 3 is a view showing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of cellulose pulp fibers constituting a packing material according to some embodiments.
- the packing material 250 is formed by combining a plurality of cellulose pulp fibers with each other.
- the tensile strength of the packing material 250 including the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers may increase because a combination area between the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers increases.
- the average length of the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers may be adjusted in order for the packing material 250 to have an appropriate range of tensile strength.
- the average length of the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers may be determined in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.
- that the average length of the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers is in a range of 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less may mean that the length of any cellulose pulp fiber 30 among the plurality of cellulose pulp fibers is 1.5 mm or more and 2.5 mm or less.
