- the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 are attached to the sheet material 10 using static electricity. That is, the sheet material 10 and/or the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 are given a static charge such that the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 are attracted to the sheet material 10.
- the sheet material 10 may be given one of a negative charge and positive charge and the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 maybe given the other one of a negative charge and positive charge.
- the sheet material 10 or the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 have a neutral or substantially neutral charge whilst the other of the sheet material 10 and the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 are positively or negatively charged.
- the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 and/or the sheet material 10 may be given an electric charge using a charge generator. In one embodiment, a negative charge is applied to the additive capsules 11 and/or particles 12 and a positive charge is applied to the sheet material 10. In an alternative embodiment, a positive charge is applied to the additive capsules 11 and/or particles 12 and a negative charge is applied to the sheet material 10.
- the charge generator comprises a charging member that is rubbed against the sheet material 10 such that a charge is imparted to the sheet material 10.
- the sheet material 10 maybe supplied as a continuous web that is moved along a conveyance path.
- the continuous web rubs against the charge member as it moves along the conveyance path and becomes charged.
- the charging member maybe ranked differently on the triboelectric series to the sheet material to such that one of the charging member or sheet material to gives up electrons to the other one of the charging member or sheet material to.
- the charging member may comprise, for example, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon (TM), polyester, glass or nylon.
- charge generator comprises an electrically charged drum and the sheet material to is passed over the drum to impart a charge to the sheet material to.
- the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 may be passed over the drum, rubbed against the charging member or another charged component such as a hopper or tray.
- the charge generator comprises a Van de Graaff generator.
- the static charge may be dissipate over time such that the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 and/or the sheet material 10 return to substantially the same charge.
- the charge will tend to dissipate after the sheet material 10 has been formed into the plug 10A and thus the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 will be retained within the folds of the plug 10A.
- the static charge thus helps to retain the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 on the sheet material 10 during conveyance of the sheet material 10 to the plug forming machine and during arrangement of the sheet material 10 into the plug 10A.
- the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 are interspersed throughout the plug 10A.
- the additive capsules 11 are configured to selectively entrain additive in the gas flow, as is described in more detail below.
- the particles 12 help to promote breaking of the additive capsules 11 when an external force is applied to the plug 10A by the user. However, it should be recognised that in alternative embodiments the particles 12 are omitted.
- a cross-sectional side view of one of the plurality of additive capsules 11 is shown in Fig. 5.
- Each additive capsule 11 comprises an outer shell 13 and an inner core 14.
- the shell 13 of each additive capsule 11 maybe solid at room temperature.
- the shell 13 may comprise, consist of, or essentially consist of, alginate. However, it should be recognised that in alternative embodiments the shell 13 is formed from a different material.
- the shell 13 may alternatively comprise, consist of, or essentially consist of, gelatin, carageenans or pectins.
- the shell 13 may comprise, consist of, or essentially consist of, one or more of alginate, gelatin, carrageenans or pectins.
- each additive capsule 11 comprises, consist of, or essentially consists of, an additive, for example, a flavourant configured to impart a flavour to gas flowing through the body 10 of the first segment 7 when the additive is exposed to the gas.
- the additive may alternatively or additionally comprise a different type of additive such as a humectant.
- the inner core 14 is a liquid.
- the inner core 14 may comprise a solid, for example, a powder.
- each additive capsule 11 maybe impermeable, or substantially impermeable, to the additive of the core 14. Therefore, the shell 13 initially prevents the additive of the core 14 from escaping from the additive capsule 11 and being entrained in gas flowing through the body 10.
- the shells 13 of the additives capsules 11 are ruptured such that the additive can be entrained in the gas.
- the additive capsule 11 further comprises a carrier material.
- the carrier material may comprise, for example, gelatin.
- the particles 12 are cellulose acetate (CA) particles 12.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 comprise cellulose acetate that has been hardened by a plasticiser, for example, triacetin.
- the plasticiser helps to prevent the cellulose acetate particles 12 from breaking down when the user applies a force to the component 3 to break the additive capsules 11.
- the increased hardness of the additive capsules 11 due to the plasticiser helps to promote breakage of the additive capsules 11.
- the cellulose acetate may alternatively or additionally be hardened by a different plasticiser, for example, Diacetin, tri-ethyl citrate or PEG.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may comprise the plasticiser in the range of 15 to 40% by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12, and preferably in the range of 20 to 35% by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may comprise the plasticiser of at least 15% by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12 and, preferably, of at least 20%, by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may comprise the plasticiser of less than 40% by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12 and, preferably, less than 35%, by weight of the cellulose acetate particle 12.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may be manufactured from a material having a Rockwell hardness of at least 25 on the R-scale measured according to Procedure A of ASTM D785.
- the particles 12 may be manufactured from a material having a Rockwell harness of greater than 30, greater than 40, greater than 50, greater than 60, greater than 70, greater than 80, greater than 90, or greater than too on the R-Scale. It has been found that a greater Rockwell hardness of the particles 12 prevents the particles 12 from breaking down when the user applies a force to the component 3 to break the additive capsules 11 and also helps to promote breakage of the additive capsules 11.
- the particles 12 have an average surface area of less than 50 square metres per gram and, preferably, less than 30, 20, 10, 5 or 3 square metres per gram.
- the surface area may be measured according to ASTM D1993 - 18 (Standard Test Method for Precipitated Silica-Surface Area by Multipoint BET Nitrogen Adsorption, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, 2018).
- Particle density may refer to the density of the material of the particles including pores in the material, but excluding voids between particles (which would be the ‘bulk density’) ⁇
- the particles 12 being more robust helps to promote breakage of the additive capsules 11 upon the application of the external force to the exterior of the component 3.
- the particles 12 being more robust also helps to prevent breakage of the capsules during transit.
- a lower surface area means that the particles 12 adsorb less of the additive of the additive capsules 11 upon rupture, meaning that more of the additive can be delivered to the user.
- the particles 12 optionally may comprise a material having a particle density of at least 1 g/cc. This helps to make the particles 12 more robust to encourage breakage of the additive capsules 11 during use and to prevent breakage of the particles 12 during transit.
- the particles 12 comprise a material having a particle density of at least 1.1 g/cc or at least 1.2 g/cc, wherein increasing the particle density of the particles 12 helps to increase the robustness of the particles 12.
- the particles 12 comprise a material having a particle density of less than 5 g/ cc and, preferably, less than 2 g/ cc, or less than 1.5 g/cc.
- a lower particle density of the particles 12 results in a lighter component for a delivery system, which is therefore easier to transport.
- the particle density of the particles 12 is between 1 and 2 g/cc, or between 1.1 and 2 g/cc or between 1.1 and 1.5 g/cc.
- the particles 12 are generally cylindrical in shape.
- the particles 12 may be extruded from a rod of material and cut into individual generally cylindrical particles 12.
- the particles 12 have a diameter in the range of 1 to 2 mm and a length in the range of 1 to 2 mm.
- the particles 12 have a diameter and/or length in the range of 1.2 to 2.2 mm.
- the particles 12 have a diameter and/ or length in the range of 1.4 to 2 mm and, preferably, of about 1.5 mm.
- the particles 12 have a particle size in the range of 1.2 to 1.8 mm.
- the particles 12 have a ball-pan hardness of greater than 95%, and, preferably, greater than 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99%. In some embodiments, the ball- pan hardness of the particles 12 is greater than 99.5%, 99.6%, 99.7%, 99.8% or 99.9%.
- the ball-pan hardness of the particles 12 can be measured using the ball-pan hardness test described in ASTM D3802 - 16 (Standard Test Method for Ball-Pan Hardness of Activated Carbon, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, 2016 ). This test is described for testing the hardness of activated carbon. However, it is also suitable for measuring the hardness of other particulate materials. It has been found that increasing the ball-pan hardness of the particles 12 makes the particles more robust and therefore more effective at promoting breakage of the additive capsules 11 during use and also that the particles 12 are less likely to break during transit.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may comprise one or more surface formations configured to promote breakage of the additive capsules 11 when the user applies a force to the component 3.
- the surface formations may help to cut or pierce the shells 13 of the additive capsules 11 or grind the additive capsules 11, or may present a hard edge or surface against which the additive capsules 11 can be crushed.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 each comprise one or more edges 15A and/or one or more corners 15B.
- the edges 15A and corners 15B may be formed by, for example, cutting or grinding portions of cellulose acetate to shape the cellulose acetate particles 12.
- the edges 15A maybe angular edges.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 do not comprise any edges 15A and/or corners 15B and, for example, maybe spherical.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 comprise cellulose acetate chips 12.
- the particles 12 are generally cylindrical.
- the component 3 allows for the user to control the amount of additive that is introduced into the gas flow passing through the component 3.
- the shell 13 of each additive particle 11 is intact and therefore no additive from the core 14 is introduced into the gas flow.
- the user desires to introduce additive, he or she applies an external force to the component 3 to rupture the shells 13 of the additive capsules 11.
- the user holds the component 3 firmly and rolls the component 3 between his or her fingers. This causes the cellulose acetate particles 12 that surround the cavity 10A to promote the rupture of the shells 13 of the additive particles 11 such that the additive of the core 14 is released through the shells 13 and enters the gas flow.
- the more that the component 3 is rolled between the user’s fingers the greater the number of additive capsules 11 that are ruptured and thus the more additive that is released into the gas flow. Therefore, the user is able to control the amount of additive that is added to the gas flow by controlling the amount of time that the component 3 is rolled between the fingers.
- Cellulose acetate is a readily available material that is already used in components manufactured by the tobacco industry, for example, as the filtration material of cigarette filters.
- the abrasive material of the component 3 comprising cellulose acetate particles 12 simplifies manufacture of the component 3. However, it should be recognised that other materials maybe used to manufacture the particles 12.
- the additive from the ruptured additive capsules 11 may seep into the sheet material 10 10 and/ or may be spread over the sheet material 10. This helps to increase the amount of additive that is in contact with the gas flow through the component 3 and thus the amount of additive that is entrained in the gas flow. Thus, fewer additive capsules 11 maybe required to achieve a given additive level in the gas flow in comparison to arrangements that did not include the sheet material 10.
- the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 on the sheet material 10 allows for faster manufacture of the component 3. If the additive capsules 11 and particles 12 were instead provided in a space formed between axially spaced plugs of filter material, and not surrounded by filter material, then it may be necessary to first position the plugs on a wrapper and then fill the space between the plugs with the additive capsules/particles. In contrast, the present invention allows for the additive capsules/particles to be provided in the first segment/plug during manufacture of the first/segment plug, which has been found to allow for quicker manufacture. In some embodiments, the cellulose acetate particles 12 may be manufactured from a material having a melt flow in the range of 0.2 to 6 g/10 min according to ASTM D1238.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 may be manufactured from a material having a melt flow in the range of 0.25 to 5.5 g/10 min or in the range of 0.5 to 4 g/ 10 min. In some embodiments, the melt flow is less than 5.5 g/ 10 min.
- the cellulose acetate particles 12 comprise 28% triacetin and 72% cellulose acetate and the material has a melt flow of 414 mg/3 mins (1.38 g/ 10 min). In another exemplary embodiment, the cellulose acetate particles 12 comprise 25% triacetin and 75% cellulose acetate and the material has a melt flow of 266 mg/3 min (0.89 g/ 10 min).
- the body 10A is circumscribed by a wrapper 22 (shown in Fig. 4), for example, a paper wrapper.
- the wrapper 22 may help to retain the sheet material 10 in the form of the body 10A, for example, by preventing the sheet material 10 from unfolding.
- the tipping paper 4 comprises one or more indicators 19 that provide a visual indication to the user of where the external force should be applied to the component 3 to release the additive.
- the indicators 19 may indicate where the component 3 should be held and rolled between the fingers to release the additive.
- the indicators 19 may, for example, be printed onto the tipping paper 4 or may comprise a label that is adhered to the tipping paper 4.
- the indicators 19 may overlie the body 10 of filter material.
- the component 3 further comprises a plug wrap 16 that circumscribes the first segment 7 and at least a portion of the second and/ or third segments 8, 9.
- the plug wrap 16 circumscribes the entire length of both of the second and third segments 8, 9.
- the plug wrap 16 and tipping paper 4 that overlies the first segment 7 are deformable such that, in use, the user applies an external force to deform the tipping paper 4 and first segment 7 radially inwardly to break the additive capsules 11.
- the user grips the wall and rolls the component 3 between the fingers such that the cellulose acetate particles 12 rupture the shells 13 of the additive capsules 11 to release the additive therefrom.
- the tipping paper 4 is deformed.
- the plug wrap 16 is deformed.
- the wall comprises a further sheet of material (not shown) in addition to the tipping paper 4 and/or plug wrap 16. In other embodiments (not shown), neither a tipping paper 4 or plug wrap 16 circumscribe the first segment 7 (or the whole of the first segment 7) and so the user applies a force directly to the plug 10A.
- the plug wrap 16 comprises a paper layer 17 and a sealing layer 18.
- the sealing layer 18 is impermeable, or substantially impermeable, to the additive of the additive capsules 11. Therefore, when the additive capsules 11 are broken to entrain additive in the gas flow, the sealing layer 18 prevents the additive from seeping through the plug wrap 16. This is advantageous because the combustible aerosol provision system 1 is usually held between the user’s fingers in the region of the component 3 and thus the sealing layer 18 helps to prevent the additive from coming into contact with the user’s fingers.
- the sealing layer 18 is in the form of a coating 18 provided on the paper layer 17.
- the coating 18 may comprise Ethyl cellulose.
- the sealing layer 18 comprises a layer of material, for example, plastic sheet or foil, that is bonded to the paper layer 17 by an adhesive.
- the sealing layer 18 is an oil repellent.
- the sealing layer 18 is provided on the inner surface of the paper layer 17 such that the paper layer 17 is disposed between the sealing layer 18 and the tipping paper 4.
- the sealing layer 18 maybe provided on the outer surface of the paper layer 17 such that the sealing layer 18 is disposed between the paper layer
- the sealing layer 18 is provided over the entire inner and/ or outer surface of the paper layer 17.
- the sealing layer 18 is provided over the entire inner and/ or outer surface of the paper layer 17.
- the sealing layer is provided over the entire inner and/ or outer surface of the paper layer 17.
- the wall deforms radially inwardly such that the additive capsules 11 are ground together/pressed against each other. It has been found that the particles 12 interspersed within the plug 10A of filter material promote release of the additive from the additive capsules 11.
