Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a smoking article wrapping paper, a smoking article wrapping paper obtainable by this method, and a smoking article.

Attempts have been made to design smoking articles that extinguish when left on the substrate inadvertently.
A “low ignition” smoking article is a smoking article designed to be less likely to ignite soft furniture such as a couch or mattress than a conventional cigarette.
Ideally, a low-ignitability smoking article will continue to burn ("free-burning"), for example, when it is floated freely in an ashtray holder or held by hand without sucking.
The tendency for cigarettes to go out during free combustion is called "self-extinguishing".

Attempts have been made in the art to produce smoking articles with low ignitability by designing smoking article wrapping papers having low porosity and / or low oxygen diffusion rings.
The ring is applied to the wrapping paper by printing the additive, or combination of additives, on a “jumbo” roll of preformed cigarette wrapping paper as a transverse band.
In general, the additive is applied with an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid carrier that evaporates from the wrapping paper when the additive is supplied.

In order to achieve the required reduction in porosity and / or oxygen diffusion, a sufficient amount of additive must be applied.
However, there is a limit to the amount of additive that can be present in the carrier system, so generally the required additive incorporated into the wrapping paper is achieved by overwetting the wrapping paper with the carrier system comprising the additive. .

The physical parameters of the wrapping paper, such as tensile strength, burst strength, ductility, and stretchability, need to be maintained to maintain its integrity when the wrapping paper is carried through the printing process.
However, excessive wetting of the wrapping paper due to the addition of carrier liquid during the printing process has a detrimental effect on the physical properties of the wrapping paper, for example, by reducing the tensile strength of the wrapping paper, thereby reducing the structure of the wrapping paper. Causes damage.
As a result, when the paper breaks, it is necessary to stop the printing process from time to time to repair or replace the wrapping paper, which is time consuming and expensive.

Also, the use of liquid carrier systems can be detrimental to the visual finish of wrapping paper and finished smoking articles.
For example, wetting of cigarette wrapping paper can result in “wrinkles”, which action causes the surface of the wrapping paper to undergo expansion and contraction cycles due to the uptake and removal of carrier liquid, As a result, the wrapping paper becomes uneven or wrinkles.

Also, expansion / contraction cycles may cause the wrapping paper to shrink during the printing process.
Lateral shrinkage, for example, can make alignment difficult during the subsequent slitting process, thereby making the wrapping paper quality unacceptable.

In general, the structure of a smoking article involves a longitudinal overlap seam comprising two layers of wrapping paper held together by an adhesive.
Due to the formation of this overlapping seam, the addition of additives to this region does not significantly reduce the permeability or oxygen diffusivity and therefore does not significantly change the ignitability characteristics of the cigarette.

The object of the present invention is to overcome the problems associated with prior art methods.
In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a wrapping paper for smoking articles having acceptable self-extinguishing properties and low igniting properties, but during such a process, the physical properties of the wrapping paper Integrity is maintained and the final smoking article is visually acceptable.

In a first aspect, the present invention is a method for producing a wrapping paper for a smoking article comprising:
(A) supplying wrapping paper;
(B) One or more additives in a liquid carrier are applied to the surface of the wrapping paper so that the wrapping paper maintains its physical integrity during processing and the appearance of the wrapping paper is improved by reducing wrinkles. As such, it forms an additive application area having a low porosity and / or low oxygen diffusion sufficient to reduce the ignitability of the smoking article and an area where the additive is significantly reduced or absent The regions of the wrapping paper, where the additive is significantly reduced or absent, form an overlapping region along its adhesive seam when incorporated into the smoking article;
(C) A finished wrapping paper that forms a pattern of additive across the periphery of the smoking article upon incorporation into the smoking article, but where the additive is significantly reduced or absent in the area where the wrapping paper overlaps along its adhesive seam Machining the wrapping paper to form a sheet.

  In a second aspect, the present invention is a wrapping paper for a smoking article, wherein the wrapping paper maintains its physical integrity during processing and the appearance of the wrapping paper is improved by reducing wrinkles, The surface is provided with one or more additive application areas having a low porosity and / or low oxygen diffusion sufficient to reduce the ignitability of the smoking article, and the additive has been significantly reduced, or A wrapping paper is provided that has a non-existent region, wherein the regions of the wrapping paper that have been significantly reduced or not present, form an overlapping region along its adhesive seam when incorporated into a smoking article.

  In a third aspect, the present invention provides a smoking article comprising a wrapping paper obtainable by the process of the present invention.

The term “wrapping paper for smoking articles” should be understood in a broad sense.
A typical example is cigarette paper.
Another example is tobacco roll wrapping paper.
Further examples include cigars with wrapping paper, cigarillos, and chopped cigarette packs.

  The term “longitudinal direction” is understood to mean the direction of flow through which the wrapping paper passes during processing steps including payout, application of additives, slitting, and formation of smoking articles.

  The term “lateral direction” is understood to mean a direction perpendicular to the direction of flow through which the wrapping paper passes during application of the additive.

The term “substantially reduced” with respect to additive-coated areas means that such areas generally have less additive than areas with low porosity and / or low oxygen diffusion.
Such regions where the additive has been “substantially reduced” are generally 50% less additive, preferably 80% less additive, more preferably less than regions with low porosity and / or low oxygen diffusion. 90% less additive.

The term “pattern” is understood to mean the form in which the region of additive forms over the periphery of the smoking article when the wrapping paper is machined to form the smoking article.
The pattern is generally in the form of a ring.
The ring form may be formed by two or more discontinuous additive application regions, or may be formed by a continuous additive application region that is not applied at the adhesive seam.
The additive application region may form a zigzag structure that is generally configured in the shape of a ring when the wrapping paper is formed into a smoking article.

The wrapping paper may be supplied from a storage roll, a so-called jumbo roll.
The wrapping paper supplied from the storage roll may have a width of at most several meters.
The width of the wrapping paper is determined by its manufacturing process and is generally cut out to fit the desired wrapping paper width before being incorporated into the wrapping paper manufacturing process.
The width of each individual wrapping paper may be 26.75 mm, which corresponds to the sum of the circumference of a typical cigarette and the width of the adhesive seam of the wrapping paper.
The jumbo roll desirably has a standard width of 26.75 mm, or multiples thereof, and an edge trimming width that varies in size depending on the original feed material.
Such jumbo rolls may be cut after the additive has been applied to the dimensions required for incorporation into a smoking article.

In general, the structure of a smoking article involves a longitudinal overlap seam comprising two layers of wrapping paper held together by an adhesive.
In general, the overlap region varies in width from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, and for standard size cigarettes, the overlap region is approximately 2 mm wide.

The method of the present invention may be applied to the manufacture of individual smoking papers.
Such smoking papers form their cigarettes from the supplied cigarettes and individual wrapping papers provided in the form of booklets containing folded and interleaved wrapping paper sheets ("roll"). ) Used by consumers.

The method of the present invention may be used on a smoking article rod making machine during the manufacture of smoking article rods.
In general, existing commercial smoking rod making machines may be equipped with the means necessary to carry out the present invention.

The additive may be applied to the wrapping paper by any printing method commonly used in the art.
It would be desirable to use gravure printing that allows for a fairly high level of print quality and allows uniform application of large areas of color / additives.
Gravure printing may be used on the line of the printing process.

The additive is applied to the wrapping paper at a printing station in the printing press.
The additive is applied as a series of discontinuous lines in the lateral direction to form areas where the additive is applied and areas where the additive is significantly reduced or absent.
These areas in the transverse direction where the additive is significantly reduced or absent correspond to the areas of the wrapping paper that form overlapping areas at the adhesive seam when the wrapping paper is incorporated into a smoking article.

  The complete pattern of additives can be applied at a single printing station or can be applied at two or more printing stations within a single printer.

Alternatively, multiple pass printing may be used.
The surface pattern of the wrapping paper is preferably formed by a single pass that passes once through the printing machine, in which case each of the plurality of printing stations forms a portion of the entire printed pattern in the vertical direction.
Such use of multiple printing stations in a single pass provides the further advantage of minimizing the area of the base wrapping paper on which the additive is printed, so that the physical properties of the base wrapping are printed Minimize the area that is lowered at any given time in the process.

When multiple printing stations are used, each printing station applies the additive only to a portion of the base wrapping paper.
In this case, the sum of the coatings from the individual printing stations is equal to the complete pattern of additives over the base wrapping paper.
In a single pass embodiment in which multiple printing stations are used, each printing station has additional physical additives after the physical properties of the wrapping paper have passed through one printing station and a drying station. Is spaced along the length of the wrapping paper so that it can be fully recovered before it is applied to the wrapping paper.
Thus, the average physical properties of the wrapping paper are maintained during the entire printing process to enable effective and efficient processing.

In general, the additive is applied to the wrapping paper as two or more discontinuous lines, where the additive application areas from adjacent discontinuous lines are arranged in rows across the longitudinal direction of the wrapping paper. In addition, the additive is significantly reduced or separated by areas that are not present.
Significantly reduced or absent additives are applied to the area of the wrapping paper that forms an overlap along its adhesive seam when incorporated into a smoking article.
In the lateral direction, the additive application area may be aligned over the width of the wrapping paper.
In another example, the additive application area may be offset from adjacent additive application areas to form a staggered pattern.
In order to maximize the remaining physical properties of the wrapping paper, the overall degree of this offset between adjacent additive application areas can be further optimized.

Each individual additive application region is preferably offset at an angle perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the jumbo roll.
The additive application region is preferably offset at an angle of up to 15 ° from the vertical to the vertical direction.
More preferably, the offset angle is at most 10 °, most preferably 5 °.
This can be beneficial in improving the durability of the printing roller used in the printing station.
If direct gravure printing is used, excess liquid carrier may be removed from the surface of the print roller by a doctor blade that extends substantially perpendicular to the machine direction.
The transverse printing pattern is generally used to produce a wrapping paper having a leading edge that matches the doctor blade and a trailing edge.
The pressure exerted by the doctor blade effectively reduces the cylinder life.
One advantage of such an offset is that the leading edge of the printing pattern does not match the leading edge of the doctor blade used in a typical printing station, thereby reducing wear on the blade and making the wrapping paper into the doctor The chance of tearing the wrapping paper as it passes through the blade is reduced.
A further advantage is that the transfer of additives within the printing area, which is common in the art, is made more efficient by the use of such an offset.
The angle and direction of the offset may be varied between separate areas of the print or may be consistent throughout the print pattern.

In the cross direction of the paper, the additive application area is generally smaller than the area of the wrapping paper that forms an overlap at the adhesive seam when the wrapping paper is incorporated into the smoking article. The width of a typical smoking article wrapping paper, or a width corresponding to a multiple thereof.
Thus, when jumbo wrapping is machined to a width commonly used in the manufacture of smoking articles, the additive application area forms a continuous transverse zone over this width minus any overlapping area of the edge. To do.
Therefore, when the wrapping paper is formed into a cigarette, the additive application region forms a ring over the outer periphery of the smoking article, not the adhesive seam of the wrapping paper.
Thus, the area of the final smoking article wrap used to form the overlap on the smoking article remains substantially unprinted or printed at a much lower level.
The width of these areas with reduced additive generally reaches a maximum of twice the overlap width of the wrapping paper incorporated into the final smoking article.
Overlapping seams in smoking articles generally comprise two layers of wrapping paper held together by an adhesive, and the addition of additives to this overlapping area does not significantly reduce permeability or oxygen diffusivity. Therefore, the ignitability characteristics of cigarettes are not significantly changed.

In the longitudinal direction of the paper, the additive application area is generally 4-12 mm wide.
Preferably, the additive application area is 5-10 mm wide, most preferably 6-9 mm wide.
Preferably, the region where the additive is reduced in the longitudinal direction is generally less than 30 mm wide, more preferably 10-30 mm wide.
Most preferably, the area where the additive is reduced is 18-20 mm wide.

The use of a printed pattern in which the additive is significantly reduced or in the horizontal direction results in an area that coincides with the overlap area that is not present, the entire pattern of the jumbo roll wrapping paper has its entire surface both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction. This means that the additive is reduced or has a continuous region that is not present.
Since these areas are not heavily coated with carrier liquid, the physical properties remain similar to the original jumbo roll wrapping paper.
Thus, the final printed smoking article wrap may be viewed as a continuous mesh of unprinted wrapping paper with separated areas of additive.
Although the physical properties of the printed area may be degraded, the entire wrapping paper retains its integrity through the remaining mesh of wrapping paper that is not printed.

Also, the discontinuity of the print area where no additive is applied to the overlap area prevents the linear propagation of any tears in the paper.
Also, by minimizing the extent of the print area, the base wrapping expansion / contraction cycle during the printing process can be better controlled, thereby reducing wrinkles and other visual defects Appearance can be reduced.
In a similar manner, the total shrinkage of jumbo roll wrapping paper in the transverse direction can be minimized, thereby reducing alignment difficulties in subsequent steps, eg, slitting steps.

The additive applied to the wrapping paper may be applied using a liquid carrier.
Desirably, the liquid carrier is in the form of a solution, suspension, emulsion, or a combination thereof.
The liquid carrier is desirably aqueous, non-aqueous or a combination thereof and may contain an emulsifier depending on the nature of the additive.

In one example, a suspension of additives may be applied in an aqueous carrier.
The aqueous carrier penetrates the wrapping paper and carries the additive into the wrapping matrix, thereby increasing the porosity and / or oxygen diffusibility either before or during the burning of the smoking article. Can be lowered.
The liquid carrier can evaporate when applied to the wrapping paper, thereby allowing the wrapping paper to dry and fix the additive in the wrapping paper matrix.

The evaporation process may necessarily occur or may be assisted by the application of an external heat source at the “drying station” or by forced air movement to the surface of the wrapping paper.
Preferably, the external heat source is selected from a heated contact roller, hot air drying, microwave drying, high frequency drying, an infrared lamp, or a combination thereof.
The drying station may be located at any point along the length of the wrapper as the wrapper is processed.
In embodiments where multiple printing stations are used, a drying station is preferably provided between adjacent printing stations.
After application of the additive in the liquid carrier from the first printing station, the wrapping paper can be dried before further additives are applied from the second printing station and subsequent printing stations.
This form is beneficial because it allows the integrity of the wrapping paper to be maintained after addition of the additive by the printing station and before processing by subsequent printing stations.

The additive that may be applied to the wrapping paper may be any additive used in the art to reduce the ignitability of the smoking article.
Preferably, the additive is alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, partially hydrolyzed derivatives, and polyvinyl acetate containing copolymers, modified and unmodified starch, carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose , Cellulose derivatives such as hydroxymethylcellulose, pectin, and combinations thereof.
Preferably, the additive comprises inorganic ions such as phosphates, unitary or divalent metal salts, silica, and other materials known in the art for altering the burning rate, and combinations thereof. In addition.

  After the addition of the additive, the base wrap is machined to produce the smoking article wrap when incorporated into the smoking article.

  The method for carrying out the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The graph of another distribution of the additive filling level in the vertical direction of a wrapping paper. Schematic of the final wrapping paper showing the additive pattern and the wrapping paper incorporated into a smoking article with an annular ring of additive except for the overlap region.

A typical printing press 1 comprises a compartment 2 for holding a jumbo roll 3 of wrapping paper 4, a series of rollers 5, and a series of printing stations 6.
In use, the front edge of the jumbo roll 3 is supplied through the roller 5 so that the jumbo roll 3 is fed out.
As the wrapping paper passes through each printing station 6, the additive is applied to the surface of the wrapping paper.

The printing machine includes a plurality of printing stations 6 arranged along the length of the wrapping paper 4 to be fed out.
As the wrapping paper 4 passes through the first printing station 6, the additive is applied to the surface of the wrapping paper 4 so that the additive is reduced or the overlapping region 8 where the non-existing regions 8 are scattered. Discrete additive application regions 7 are formed in the lateral direction corresponding to the width of the completed smoking article wrapping paper 12 with a small amount.
As the printing process continues, the additive application areas 7 from the individual printing stations 6 take the form of longitudinal rows.
When the wrapping paper 4 passes through the second printing station 6, the next row of the additive application region 7 is applied to the surface of the wrapping paper 4 adjacent to the first row in the longitudinal direction of the wrapping paper 4.
A plurality of lines may be continuously printed on the surface of the wrapping paper 4 by passing through successive printing stations 6.
At the end of the process, the fully printed wrapping paper 4 has significant additive corresponding to the area of the wrapping paper that forms an overlap at the adhesive seam when the wrapping paper 4 (12) is incorporated into the smoking article 13. It has reduced or non-existing continuous regions (8) in the vertical direction.

A drying station incorporating a heat source (9) is located between adjacent printing stations 6 so that when the wrapping paper 4 emerges from the printing station 6, the wrapping paper passes through the drying station 9 and contains additives. The liquid carrier evaporates from the surface of the wrapping paper 4.
As a result, the integrity of the wrapping paper 4 is maintained before the wrapping paper 4 enters the next printing station 6 and further liquid carrier is applied to the surface of the wrapping paper 4.
The additive carrier causes the additive to be drawn into the matrix of the wrapping paper 4 so that the additive is impregnated into the matrix of the wrapping paper 4 when the carrier evaporates from the wrapping paper 4.

A wrapping paper 4 according to a first aspect of the present invention is shown in FIG.
The additive is printed on the surface of the wrapping paper 4.
Through the use of a suitable liquid carrier that penetrates the matrix of wrapping paper 4, the additive is drawn into the wrapping paper matrix so that it does not settle on the surface of wrapping paper 4 and penetrates the matrix of wrapping paper 4.
In the longitudinal direction, the fully printed wrapping paper 4 is discrete with a continuous area (8) where the additive corresponding to the overlap area of the final smoking article wrapping paper 12 is significantly reduced or absent. Printing column (7).
Thus, in the vertical print row, the print pattern remains consistent with the print pattern required for reduced ignitability performance.
In the longitudinal direction, the additive application area 7 has a dimension of 4 to 12 mm width, while the area 8 in which the additive is reduced or absent is 10 to 30 mm width.
In the lateral direction, the additive application area 7 has a dimension equal to the width of the final smoking article wrapping paper 12 with less overlap area.

After the wrapping paper 4 emerges from the printing station 6 with the additive printed on its surface, the wrapping paper 4 is machined to form a smoking article wrapping paper 12 that is incorporated into the final smoking article 13. The
The individual printed rows in the machine direction and the coverings around them may be cut in the machine direction by the slitting machine 11 to form the smoking article wrapping paper 12 shown in FIG.
The forming width of the smoking article wrapping paper 12 has a plurality of continuous additive lines across the width, and printing is significantly reduced or absent at the edges of the lines.
A continuous pattern is not formed across the jumbo roll 3, but the smoking article wrapping paper 12 is rolled into a cylindrical shape when incorporated into the final smoking article 13, thereby reducing porosity and / or oxygen diffusion. A substantially continuous printed area sufficient to form a smoking article 13 is formed as shown in FIG. 9, but this additive ring reduces the additive applied to this area considerably. Or, because it does not exist, it is interrupted at the overlap region of the smoking article wrapping paper 12 at the adhesive seam 14.

  Alternatively, double-width bobbins, or double bobbins may be machined longitudinally from the source jumbo, and these are then further machined to form a smoking article 13 common to currently available machines, or The cigarette making machine can provide smoking article wrapping paper 12.

A wrapping paper 4 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
In a first alternative embodiment, the printing station 6 prints a series of discontinuous lines so that the columns of additive application regions 7 formed in the longitudinal direction are offset between adjacent columns. Configured.
In a second alternative embodiment, the printing station 6 is arranged such that the additive application area 7 is printed on the surface of the wrapping paper 4 at an angle of up to 15 ° from the vertical to the longitudinal direction. The

The distribution of the additive filling level in the lateral direction of the base wrapping paper 4 may be constant in the additive application area 7 as shown in FIG. 6a, in which case smoking occurs when the wrapping paper 4 is slit. The additive applied to the outermost edge of the article wrapping paper 12 is significantly reduced or absent.
This distribution of additive loading is repeated periodically in the lateral direction of the wrapping paper 4 in each additive application region 7.
In another embodiment shown in FIG. 6b and FIG. 7, the additive is added to the maximum concentration of the additive in the central region of the smoking article wrapping paper 12 when the wrapping paper 4 is slit. It may be applied in a state where the density increases to the maximum level in the lateral direction of the wrapping paper 4 so as to have
In this example, the additive is applied in a laterally decreasing concentration so that the concentration reaches a minimum level in the center of the overlapping area of the final smoking article wrapping paper 12.

  In a similar manner, the distribution of additive filling level in the longitudinal direction of the base wrapping paper 4 can be varied as shown in FIGS. 8a and 8b.

Through the use of discontinuous printing of additives and multiple printing stations 6 interspersed with heat sources (9), the wrapping paper 4 can maintain its physical integrity during processing.
Thus, the printing process is not interrupted to repair any tears that may appear on the wrapper 4 due to excessive wetting when applying the additive, and the shrinkage of the wrapper 4 is minimal. Can be suppressed.
In addition, since the wrapping paper 4 is generally not so wet during the process of the present invention as compared to the prior art method, the smoking article wrapping paper 12 is not subject to “wrinkle generation” and the final appearance of the smoking article 13 Is improved.
Therefore, existing cigarettes that take in a base paper of a predetermined width, print discontinuous regions of additives, dry, machine to the width of smoking article wrapping paper 12 to form smoking article 13 It can be incorporated into a continuous process or an online process by appropriate modification of the manufacturing machine.
