In addition, one direction in which the three elements of the base material 10, the transfer portion 11, and the filter member 13 are arranged adjacent to each other is defined as the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the cartridge 1.

FIG. 2 is an external view showing an example of the structure of the cartridge 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior sheet 22 is spirally wound in a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cartridge 1. By winding the exterior sheet 22 in a spiral shape, the cartridge 1 has improved strength against bending.

The transfer unit 11 is arranged adjacent to the base material 10. The transfer portion 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is a material having excellent heat resistance, and can be formed by using, for example, silicone. The length of the transfer unit 11 is preferably 10% or more and 40% or less, and more preferably 15% or more and 30% or less of the total length of the cartridge 1.

Further, the cartridge 1 shown in FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the structure of a columnar cartridge for smoking equipment. The cartridge 1 includes a base material 10 including a filler 21, a support 12 that supports the filler 21, a filter member 13, a transfer portion 11 provided between the support 12 and the base material 10, and an exterior sheet. 22 and the like, and exhibit a columnar appearance.

The exterior sheet 22 has an overlapping portion 30 between the exterior sheets 22 and a non-overlapping portion 31, and the overlapping portion 30 extends in a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cartridge 1. There may be.

4 and 5 are views showing an example of the filler 21 (filled state) of the base material 10. The base material 10 includes a filler 21 which is filled in the exterior sheet 22. The exterior sheet 22 has an overlapping portion 30 between the exterior sheets 22 and a non-overlapping portion 31, and the overlapping portion 30 extends in a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cartridge 1. .. The exterior sheet 22 covering the filler 21 covers the base material 10, the support 12, the transfer portion 11, and the filter member 13, but the filler 21 is covered with an exterior sheet 22 different from the exterior sheet 22 to form a base. The structure of the material 10 may be a structure including a tubular exterior portion 20 (see FIG. 6) and a filler 21. With this configuration, the force for holding the filler 21 of the cartridge 1 is improved.

In the exterior sheet 22, for the overlapping portion 30 extending in the direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, for example, a parallelogram exterior sheet 22 is prepared, rolled into a columnar shape, and both end portions are glued to the exterior sheet 22. By forming the winding loop, the glued portion can be configured as the overlapping portion 30. The exterior sheet 22 has an overlapping portion 30 between the exterior sheets 22 and a non-overlapping portion 31, and the overlapping portion 30 extends in a direction inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cartridge 1. As a result, it becomes possible to provide a glue portion extending in the circumferential direction on the exterior sheet 22 of the cartridge 1, disperse the twisting force or the pushing bending force of the cartridge 1, and improve the strength of the entire cartridge 1. be able to.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the overlap portion 30 may be configured by preparing a tape-shaped exterior sheet 22 and spirally winding it so as to overlap to form a columnar object. By forming the overlapping portion 30 in a spiral shape, a spiral step can be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the exterior sheet 22. This step creates a smooth air flow of the aerosol, which can improve the taste, flavor, and exhalation efficiency.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of sheets having a parallel quadrilateral shape are adhered by overlapping only the side portions to form an exterior sheet 22, and then, as shown in FIG. 7, the exterior sheet 22 is attached. , May be configured to be wound in a flat winding. With such a configuration, the strength of the exterior of the cartridge 1 can be improved without changing the production process of the flat winding.

The range of the overlapping portion 30 is preferably smaller than the range of the non-overlapping portion 31. Here, the range of the overlap portion 30 is the shortest distance between the side end of the exterior sheet 22 constituting the non-overlap portion 31 and the side end of the exterior sheet 22 constituting the overlap portion 30 in the exterior sheet 22. To say. Similarly, the range of the non-overlapping portion 31 means a value obtained by subtracting the range of the overlapping portion 30 from the pitch p (see FIG. 6). In the case of a spiral shape in which a plurality of overlapping portions 30 exist, the arithmetic mean value thereof is used as the range. By making the range of the overlapping portion 30 smaller than the range of the non-overlapping portion 31, the amount of the exterior sheet 22 used can be minimized. The ratio of the range of the overlap portion 30 to the non-overlap portion 31 is preferably 7% or more and less than 40%, more preferably 4% or more and less than 30%, and 5% or more and less than 25%.

Is the "outer diameter".

The overlap portion 30 preferably has a pitch p of 5% or more and 97% or less of the total length in the longitudinal direction, and more preferably 7% or more and 55% or less. If the pitch p is less than 10% of the total length of the cartridge 1, the overlapping portion 30 becomes narrow and the adhesive surface becomes small, which lowers the productivity, and the outer surface of the cartridge 1 has many inclined lines. On the other hand, if it exceeds 55%, it becomes difficult to arrange the members and the base material 10 constituting the cartridge 1 without gaps, and the overlapping portion 30 extends to increase the overall strength. It will be lowered.

Further, the pitch p of the overlap portion 30 is preferably one having a pitch p of 10% or more and 18% or less of the total length, for example, when the paper thickness of the exterior sheet 22 is 0.2 mm.
