Abstract

The invention relates to a system for producing home-made filter cigarettes, consisting of a) a cigarette paper wrapper (10) with filter tip (12, 14), b) a tobacco cartridge (2) which is severed by a cutting step from a tobacco rod and prefabricated in the factory and consists of a tobacco portion (4) which is open at the end face, corresponds to the tobacco filling of a finished cigarette and can be introduced into a cigarette paper wrapper and whose outer surface is formed by a wrapper (6) which consists of completely smokable material and has an air permeability such that it cannot be smoked as such but is consumable by smoking after it has been introduced into the cigarette paper wrapper (10), characterised in that the tobacco cartridge has different diameters (16, 16') in different zones and that these consist of different tobacco mixtures. <IMAGE>

Description

The present invention describes a system for self-manufacture of a filter cigarette, as defined in the main claim of the invention.

Tobacco patrons for self-made cigarettes are known from the patent for self-cigarette production VFR patent no. No. 889578, from the Dutch patent no. No. 6703935 and VFR Application No. 6703935, which describes self-production as well as pit filling. 3244906, as well as from the German Federal Warrant No. No. 8326921; 8309186. All these cartridges are based on the fact that their perimeter or casing, although made of a smokable material, is so breathable that the cartridge itself cannot remove lint-free products and can only be smoked from the smoking paper into the cavity. .

Such a tobacco patron is provided as a system, as described in VFR application no. No. 3407461 or described in European Application Ser. 0155514, the size of the cartridge, relative to the usual stable length and cross-section of the pre-industrial cartridge, is selected to fit snugly on the inner surface of a smoking paper bore.

Systems of a similar type in which, in part, VFR patent no. 3407461 tobacco cartridges of length have to be adapted to the filter paper stopper of the smoking paper, the disadvantage being that the user has no ability to independently influence the taste of the manufactured cigarette.

The object of the invention is to provide a system of the type mentioned above, so that the user can, at his own discretion, be more personally affected by the taste of his own cigarette.

In addition, it is an object of the invention to provide a system that enables the consumer to save tobacco and that different types of tobacco blends of different flavors can still be consumed.

Therefore, in order to accomplish this task, the system described in the definition of the main claim of the invention is proposed, while particularly preferred embodiments are mentioned in the additional claims of the invention.

Utilizing the tobacco cartridge of the invention has unexpectedly enabled the cigarette manufacturer to change the course of the main stream of smoke by itself and also to change the flavor of the cigarette by choosing a tobacco cartridge.

Due to the shape of the tobacco patron, the main smoke stream from the tobacco patron may pass through channels or vortexes as desired, which may accordingly be exacerbated by the perforation in the transition area between the cigarette paper core and the chamois paper.

Another benefit of reducing the cross-section and the fact that the diameter of the cigarette cartridge is not quite the same as the cigarette core is the formation of a tobacco-free area upstream or downstream of the filter stopper, wrapped in a wrap sheet. part of the deep. Because the user has never shred a cigarette to the edge of a filtering plug, as a rule, about 13% or more of the tobacco string is discharged by extinguishing the cigarette in the filtering cups currently in use. Compensating for the offer of less tobacco patrons, and within the statutory minimum, instead of 25 grams of tubular tobacco carton with tobacco cartridges, the consumer can be offered, for example, 32 tobacco patrons, per the requirements of the law.

This amount of tobacco is reduced both by reducing the cross-section in the chute area and due to the corresponding void in the lower third of the tobacco cartridge, which also increases the number of tobacco cartridges, for example from 30 to 32 cartons in tubular tobacco weighing 25 g.

The invention will now be further explained with reference to the drawings.

Figure 4: A cross-sectional view of a self-manufactured cigarette according to the present invention.

Figure 4: A cross section similar to Figure 1 with a modified tobacco cartridge.

In the cigarette shown in the drawing, the tobacco cartridge 2 has a tobacco portion 4 enclosed in an air-permeable casing 6 whose permeability is selected such that the tobacco cartridge cannot itself be smoked, even when used for smoking. The smoking paper recess 10 has a filter plug 12 and a napkin cover paper 14.

The tobacco cartridge 2, as a rule, has a slightly smaller diameter than the cage 10 from the smoking paper for insertion into the cavity. According to the invention, this tobacco cartridge has a portion 16 having a diameter of 525%, preferably 10%, which is smaller than the diameter of the tobacco cartridge. This portion, with a smaller diameter, may be located between the center of the tobacco cartridge and the dummy area, and in an embodiment may be located within the tobacco cartridge and may be positioned up to the filter plug as shown in Figure 1.

In another embodiment, the smaller diameter portion 16 ', as shown in Figure 2, may be in the middle zone or in the first third of the tobacco patron.

can be manufactured to reduce the distance of the tobacco stroke and to direct it evenly

Similarly, tobacco patrons by traditional equipment therefore divide the diameter in certain wraps by rotating the respective parts.

In another conventional manner analogous to the manufacture of a cigarette with a filter, portions of the tobacco cartridge having a smaller diameter may be separately produced and then joined or wrapped with a regular diameter tobacco cartridge stroke and split accordingly.

Separately manufactured portions of a smaller diameter of the tobacco cartridge may have other, preferably less expensive, tobacco blends than tobacco tobacco blends.

The smaller diameter portion 16 has a preferred length of 2 to 4 diameters of a cigarette paper core, which results in the desired leakage conditions in the lower area, desirably for tobacco saving, especially for ventilated cigarettes in the area. A particularly preferred diameter difference between the tobacco cartridge 2 and the smaller diameter portion 16 is about 0.5 mm.

Claims (4)

DEFINITION OF INVENTION 1. A system for self-made cigarettes with a filter having: (a) a filter paper napkin with a filter napkin, (b) a tobacco cartridge which is prefabricated by an industrial process, separated from the tobacco string by its cutting process and consisting of an open, accessible portion of a tobacco cigarette filler, open to the tip corresponding to a ready-to-fill cigarette; made of a breathable material of the smokable type such that it cannot remove smoldering products by itself, but can be used for smoking when placed in a cigarette-paper recess, with the tobacco cartridge (2) having the largest diameter when inserted into the cigarette-paper recess ( 10) is slightly smaller than the core diameter and has portions of various diameters (16) having a diameter of 5 to 25% less than the largest diameter of the tobacco cartridge. 2. A system as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the smaller diameter portion (16) of the tobacco cartridge (2) forms a housing portion of the tobacco cartridge and can be inserted up to a filter stopper. 3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a smaller diameter portion (16 ') of the tobacco cartridge (2) located in the middle zone or in the first third of the tobacco cartridge. 4. A system according to claims 1-3, characterized in that the various diameters consist of different tobacco blends.
