Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a fire from breaking out due to a cigarette. SOLUTION: A cigarette filter 1 is loaded with a tube 2 containing an extinguishing liquid 3, and the cigarette side is sealed with a meltable wax 5 to effect its adherence to the cigarette. Even if a smoker forgets to put out his cigarette, when the tobacco leaves are spontaneously burned to a point close to the filter 1, the wax 5 melts and the extinguishing liquid 3 flows out, preventing an ignition, thus preventing a fire from breaking out.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in the function of a filter attached to a tobacco in order to prevent a fire from being caused by a tobacco, and is a technique belonging to the tobacco industry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is no technique relating to such a filter.

[0003]

In the present invention, there are many cases in which a person who smokes a cigarette throws it away or sleeps without smoking and extinguishes while sleeping, causing a fire.
According to annual statistics, the number of fires in Japan was about 63,90
Of the 0 cases, about 7,000 cases were caused by tobacco, accounting for 11% of the total, and are the leading cause of occurrence. The challenge is to reduce this fire.

[0004]

It is considered that the cause of the fire caused by tobacco is that when the tobacco is left untreated, the tobacco leaves spontaneously burn and ignite the surrounding combustibles.
Therefore, it is necessary to extinguish a fire before igniting surrounding combustibles. In the present invention, a thin, soft synthetic resin tube 2 is filled with a fire extinguishing liquid 3 in a filter 1, sealed with a soluble wax 5, and loaded into the filter 1, and the wax portion is adhered to the tobacco side. To do it.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention is configured as described above, and the tobacco leaves are naturally burned by the smoker leaving the cigarette, and the burning continues to the vicinity of the root of the filter 1 and the surroundings are ignited to some extent. When it is in a state of being extinguished, the wax 5
Is melted by heat, and the fire extinguishing liquid 3 flows out to stop ignition and prevent fire.

[0006]

1 is a view of a cigarette loaded with a fire extinguisher pipe 2 according to the invention. That is, the fire extinguishing liquid containing pipe 2 is loaded into the filter 1, the tobacco and the filter are joined together so that the wax 5 is in close contact with the tobacco, and the extinguishing liquid flows out simultaneously with the melting of the wax 5. Prevent ignition.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the probability that a person who smokes a cigarette equipped with the filter according to the present invention forgets to extinguish a fire is reduced by half.
