The simulated cigarette 1 is wrapped in a paper or paper-like wrap 4, comprising an adhesive layer to stick to the housing of the simulated cigarette, a paper or paper-like layer and a polymer film to cover and protect the paper or paper-like layer, the wrap 4 providing a more realistic feel. The wrap 4 is provided with a fire retardant material at least in the region opposite to the outlet. The outlet end may be provided with a deformable material 31 to provide a more realistic feel and optionally to allow the user to vary the flow characteristics in the manner of a real cigarette. The outlet end can also be provided with a chemical heater, which may comprise elements located within the deformable material.
Description
A SIMULATED CIGARETTE
The present invention relates to a simulated cigarette comprising a housing having a generally cigarette-like shape S and size; a reservoir of inhalable composition within the housing; an outlet valve controlling the flow from the reservoir; an outlet passage from the outlet valve to an outlet in the housing from which outlet a user inhales the composition. Such a simulated cigarette will subsequently be referred to as "of the kind described".
A simulated cigarette of the kind described is disclosed in our earlier WO 2009/001078 and WO 2009/001082.
These documents disclose a simulated cigarette device which is refillable in combination with a refill pack which has a size and shape of a cigarette pack. The user removes the simulated cigarette from the pack and holds it against an outlet port in the pack to refill it. This is designed to mimic the action of removing a real cigarette from a pack. By replicating the smoking act, the device is more likely to gain acceptance from a consumer.
However, the simulated cigarette device disclosed in these applications and, indeed, similar cigarette devices disclosed in other applications such as US 4,393,884 and DE 4030257 are simply cylindrical plastic tubes.
The present invention aims to provide a simulated cigarette device which more closely resembles the physical feel of a real cigarette.
According to the present invention, a simulated cigarette of the kind described is wrapped in a wrap comprising an adhesive layer to stick to the housing, a paper or paper-like layer and a polymer film to cover and protect the paper or paper-like layer; and wherein the wrap is provided with a fire retardant material at least in the region opposite to the outlet.
In the prior art referred to above, all simulated
cigarettes of this type have only a plastic housing as they are designed to be durable. Us 2004/0003820 discloses a cigarette substitute with a chamber lined with a scratch-releasable-coated paper which is scratched with a wire brush to release a cigarette-like aroma. This document discloses that the vessel is coated or lined with a white, paper-like material for improved realism but there is no indication of the underlying material of the housing, or how this is implemented. JP2O1O/35663 discloses an inhaler containing a string of capsules. These are crushed by a user's fingers to release their contents for inhalation. The device is covered in a paper-like material as it is required to be deformable to crush the capsules.
The third aspect of the present invention replicates more closely the feel of a real cigarette. Further, it is suited to the arrangement described in WO 2009/001078 which is designed to be refilled only a relatively small number of times such that longevity is less of an issue. The polymer film is able to protect the paper as the time for which it is used, while for less than the prior art above, is still significantly longer than a real cigarette or the devices of Us 2004/0003820 and JP 2010/035663.
Preferably, the wrap is hydrophobic so that it does not absorb moisture from the user's mouth, from the ambient environment or from the filling process. The wrap is preferably a wipe-clean paper. Preferably, the wrap is provided with a flavour (e.g. menthol) and/or an antibacterial agent.
Such an example of a wrap is a co-extruded biaxially orientated corona treated polyproplyene situated with an acrylic based adhesive. The adhesive is a water-borne acrylic based adhesive comprising acrylic esters copolymerised with acrylic acid.
This is laminated over a supercalendered glassine paper, which gives the image and texture of a paper wrap, where the transparency is around 30-60%, most preferably 45%. A compatible ink, preferably a raw material consisting of an acrylate mixture, which in its finished cured form in a acrylate polymer contains very little residual monomer such to improve the chemical stability of the system. Such a system can also be impregnated with Silver Ion spray coating on top of the glassine paper to limit any microbial activity over continued use, and the end tip can be sprayed with a compatible fire retardant material before the adhesive layer and extruded polyproplyene applied.
Additionally a laminate is layered over the system to improve stability and use duration. A higher strength acrylic adhesive is employed to attach the laminate underlay of the glassine paper to the plastic chassis tubing of the inhaler, such that it will remain in fixed position without uncurling or unwrapping over the allotted shelf life. Such a system should incorporate as low a density co-extruded biaxially orientated corona treated polyproplyene as possible without compromising resistance, in order to improve the fixation stability of the wrap.
The system should comply with the guidelines laid down under ISO 10993 when relating to component biocompatibility.
As such, plastic coating should comply with a material safety test guidance under the European Pharmacopeia in order to ensure compatibility with transient oral mucocal contact, with adhesive layers ensuring compatibility with the European food directive legislations, FDA 175.105 and the German recommendations XIV as published by MR. This construction should also be classed as a safe product in accordance with the material description as given by EC directive 92/59, article 2(b) which will ensure safety for repeated use.
The wrap may be used in its own right, but is particularly advantageous when used in combination with the deformable material and/or the heater described herein as the overall effect most closely resembles a real cigarette.
The reservoir is preferably pressurised and is preferably refillable. The refill is preferably carried out through a refill valve at the end of the cigarette opposite to the outlet.
Examples of a simulated cigarette in accordance with the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompany drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a cross-section of a simulated cigarette; Fig. 2 is an exploded view of the simulated cigarette; Figs. 3A to 3C are perspective views of alternative deformable members; and Fig. 4 is a cross-section of the Fig. 3A example.
The device has a housing 1 made up of a main chassis 2 and a closure element 3 as shown in Fig. 2. This is held in place by label 4. Within the housing, there is a reservoir 5 containing the inhalable composition. This is preferably pressurised but could also work with a non-pressurised reservoir in combination with a Venturi nozzle to generate an enhanced suction force on the reservoir. It may be refillable as described in WO 2009/001082 through the filling valve 6, or the device may be a single use device, or may be arranged so that the reservoir 5 is a replaceable component.
The breath-activated valve 7 is positioned between an outlet end 8 and the reservoir 5. The breath-activated valve is arranged so that, when a user sucks on the outlet end 8, the breath-activated valve 7 opens to allow the inhalable composition from the reservoir 5 to be inhaled.
The housing downstream at the valve 7 has two passages. The first of these is the suction passage 9 which communicates with a chamber 10 as will be described in greater detail below and the second is a composition passage 11 from which the inhalable composition is dispensed. This is also described in more detail below. The suction passage and composition passage meet at outlet passage 13 which leads to outlet end 8.
A deformable tubular nozzle 14 is provided between the reservoir 5 and composition passage 11. The element is selectively deformable between open and closed configurations by a mechanism as described below.
This mechanism comprises a pivotally mounted vane 15 and a membrane 16. The pivotally mounted vane has a pivot 17 at the end closest to the outlet end 8 and a central reinforcing rib 18 running along its length and tapering away from the outlet end. At around the midpoint, the vane is provided with a recess 19 for receiving a spring 20 which biases it into the closed position shown in Fig. 1.
Below the recess 19 is a jaw 21 having a triangular cross-section which is configured to apply the force provided from the vane 15 to the nozzle 14 over a narrow area (although the nozzle is shown in Fig. 1 in its uncompressed, open state, whereas in use, with the vane in this position it would deform the nozzle to seal the reservoir) . The vane 15 is supported by the diaphragm 16 which is sealed to the housing at its ends 22, 23.
An inlet 24 is provided into the chamber 10, while the underside of the membrane 16 is open to atmospheric pressure as a leakage path exists through the housing 1 which is not shown in the drawings as it is not shown in the plane of Figs. 1 and 2.
When a user sucks on the outlet end 8 air is sucked through inlet 24 through chamber 10 and out of suction passage 9 thereby lowering the pressure in the chamber 10.
This causes the vane 15 to be lifted against the action of the spring 20 deforming the diaphragm and lifting the jaw 21.
to allow the deformable nozzle 14 to open, thereby allowing the inhalable composition from the reservoir 5 along composition passage 11 into the outlet passage 13 where it S mixes with the suction air. The degree of suction applied by the user will determine the extent to which the vane 15 moves and therefore the amount of composition that the user receives. As soon as a user stops sucking, atmospheric pressure will return to the chamber 10 and the spring 20 will push the vane down thereby pinching the nozzle 14 closed.
The simulated cigarette described to date is generally as described in WO 2011/015825.
The housing 1 is provided at the outlet end with a generally annular recess 30 surrounding the outlet passage 13. within this annular recess is a deformable member 31 which, in situ, is flush with the surface of the housing 1 as shown in Fig. 1. The deformable member 31 may be an elastomeric member, or may be a thin-walled capsule containing a liquid or gel which is described in more detail below. An annular lip 32 is present at the outlet end of the cigarette. This may be thinner than the illustrated lip, or may not be present at all.
The deformable member 31 is generally positioned in the area that would be occupied by the filter of a conventional cigarette. Thus, the user is able to squeeze the end of the cigarette in the manner that they would squeeze the filter of a cigarette, and hold this end of the cigarette in their mouth and, in both cases, obtain a tactile sensation comparable to that of a real cigarette.
Further, the housing I in the vicinity of the outlet passage 31 is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed openings 33 and, as shown in Fig. 1, the deformable member 31 is arranged to bulge through these to project into the outlet passage 13. As the user presses on the deformable member, the degree to which the deformable member bulges into the passage 13 is varied. If the user presses on the top of the deformable member 31 (with reference to the orientation shown in Fig. I), they will restrict the flow through the suction passage 9 with the effect that the user will need to suck harder on the device to achieve the desired inhalation profile. If they press on the lower part of the deformable member 31, they will restrict the flow through the composition passage 11 with the effect that if the valve is fully open, the velocity of the flow will increase and quicken the route of delivery. Pressing on the top and bottom of the deformable member 31 simultaneously will increase the resistance and necessitate sucking harder on the device but also by nature of construction of the composition passage 11, quicken the flow and speed of delivery. This is a useful feature for smokers who wish to quicken the rate of absorption when undergoing a spike in craving. Thus a user is able to self-regulate the flow of inhalable composition from the cigarette, much as they are able to do with a conventional cigarette by squeezing on the filter.
As well as providing tactile benefits, and the ability to regulate the flow, the deformable member 31 may also be designed as a heater.
As mentioned above, the deformable member 31 may contain liquid or gel. This may be an acetate, and preferably sodium acetate that is super saturated. This may be encapsulated into microcapsules having a polymeric or celluostic casing. If there are around 20 such microcapsules, the device can be re-used a number of times, each time breaking a small number of the capsules. Inside the deformable member 31 and surrounding the inner wall is a layer, disc or film of ferrous metal or other that have been coursed to provide a greater reactive surface area. When the user taps the outer wall of the deformable element 31, such as a smoker is accustomed to do to release ash that has built-up on the tip of the cigarette, crystals of sodium acetate are released into the solution which then act as nucleation sites. This causes the solution to crystallise suddenly, releasing energy and thereby creating a heating effect to the surrounding material, which the user can perceive. This heat can be controlled to ensure that the temperature is pleasant and warming and does not approach higher temperatures that may impact on the integrity of the device. In order to last over several refills of the device, the deformable member 31 may be composed of multiple layers or compartments 34, each connected individually to separate solutions and ferrous metals. It is possible that the outer wall of the deformable member 31 may be a good insulator which allows minimal heat to be conducted out of the device so that the heat is, instead, directed inwardly to heat the flow through the upper passage 13.
-10 -Alternative designs of deformable element 31 are shown in Figs. 3A-3C and 4. In Figs. 3A and 4, a plurality of frangible balls 35 containing acetate are each positioned on a ferrous disc 36 which provides the nucleation sites.
Pressure on the outer wall of the deformable member breaks some of the frangible balls so that the acetate comes into contact with the ferrous disc initiating nucleation and causing an exothermic reaction.
In Fig. 3B, the compartments 34 are filled with calcium powder and frangible balls 37 containing water are arranged along the length of each compartment. Again, pressure on the deformable member 31 breaks the balls 37 and the water and calcium chloride react exothermically.
In Fig. 3C, each compartment 34 contains an elongate ferrous disc 38, the compartment filled with acetate. In this case, pressure on the deformable member 31 causes a sudden "snap" deformation of a disc 38 to trigger nucleation.
Other chemical heating sources for example can include, but not limited to, utilising an in situ combination of calcium chloride and reservoir containing pure distilled water. The calcium chloride is separated from water by a film or a diaphragm which when tapped or pushed, loses the integrity of its casing and allows the water to dissipate and therefore causing an exothermic reaction to take place.
For use in a multi-phase manner, the distilled water can be manufactured into microcapsules, pellets or spheres encompassed either a polymeric or cellulosic casing that are -11 -no more than 2mm in diameter. These microcapsules can be located within the chamber and distributed evenly around a surrounding layer of finely milled calcium chloride powder.
When a user squeezes the deformable member 31, element of the mouthpiece, pressure is applied to the microcapsules such that they casing ruptures and releases its containment of the distilled water. There can be arranged around 20 microspheres within the deformable chamber such that there scope for multi-activation during the use of the cigarette device.
As can be seen in Fig. 1, the jaw 21 which represents the effective outlet from the reservoir 5 is positioned some considerable distance from the outlet end 8. This distance is preferably greater than 10mm. This means that the composition has to flow a reasonable distance through the device before it is inhaled by the smoker. Thus, it can be warmed by the housing surrounding the composition passage 11 and outlet passage 13. It is diluted and warmed by the air from the suction passage 9 and is also heated by the heat generated in the deformable member 31 if this is designed as the exothermic element described above. The smoker therefore inhales composition which is warmed to a degree ideally replicating the temperature of smoke from a real cigarette, but at least warmed to a degree so as not to cause discomfort.
The label 4 is an overwrap that surrounds substantially the entire curved surface of the simulated cigarette. As shown in Fig. 2, it is divided into two sections 40 and 41 which are coloured and patterned to resemble a conventional cigarette with a filter tip. In combination with the -12 -deformable member 31, the outlet end of the cigarette both looks and feels like the filter of a conventional cigarette.
The label has at least one hole laser drilled so as not to obstruct inlet 24.
The coatings applied to the label 4 demonstrate hydrophobic properties, but also create a lipophobic and oleophobic surface to repel water, dirt on surfaces and any formulation that may be spilled or accidentally emitted during the refilling process. This makes sure that the cigarette paper does not tear or blemish as the formulation may contain propylene glycol, PEG or aromatic oils which will lead to quick discolouration of the paper, and reduce its structural integrity. As such coatings can be used such as a phosphonate based application, and applied in a monolayer. This can be provided by for example Aculon Inc. This will also impart an additional wipe clean quality, so that the dirt does not build up on the mouthpiece. Since the device is intended to be disposable, a coating can be applied solely to the mouthpiece and to the distal end where the refill valve is, to reduce the likelihood of dirt ingress and paper tear. This also provides an enhanced consumer response so that users can clean the mouthpiece end easily without fear or paper or fabric tear, for example if lipstick is accidentally applied.
Additionally fluoropolymers can be used, either applied directly to the paper or fabric coating as a powder or spray and provide necessary oil-repellant/water-repellant properties. These can include PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PFA (perfluoroalkoxy polymer resin), FEP (fluorinated ethylene-propylene) and -13 -ETFE polyethylenetetrafluoroethylene but not limited to these types of fluoropolymers. Care is taken when choosing a coating that they demonstrate suitable biomaterial compatibility especially if in frequent contact with the skin.
The wrap may be paper-like material such as a tightly woven cotton, or other fabric and a coating of silica or titania particles can be used to provide hydrophobic properties on devices where the oleophobic property is not needed due to a different composition of formulation.
Preferably a material is used that contains a hydrophobic, lipophobic and oleophobic property but also has a fire retardant capability. This is to protect the device in case it unduly exposed to fire or naked flame. Such coatings can include Aluminium Trihydride (ATH), Antimony Trioxide (Sb203) and Zinc Borate. Zinc Oxides can also be used at a pharmaceutical grade specifications for use in this respect.
A specialty chemical, MP Protect, available at ISC Ltd, can also be applied which incorporates a fire retardant system for cellulose rich substrates, such as wood, paper cotton and certain textile applications. This will allow it to be capable of withstanding flames in accordance with the DIN 53438 standard burn test, but also has a property to impart an anti-bacterial quality which can destroy micro-organisms such as influenza, salmonella and Legionella. This can be an important attribute to the device if shared routinely in social situations.
-14 -An anti-bacterial coating on the mouthpiece may be especially advantageous as part of one coating or in addition to several coatings but locally applied on the mouthpiece. Such coatings can include a thin layer of silver, Ionizable silver incorporated into fabric, silver alloy or oxide which will help in reducing the bacteria spread and have been approved for use in respiratory devices such as endotracheal breathing tubes by the FDA. This will offer an improved hygienic aspect to the device if used multiple times before it is eventually disposed of.
