Description

DESCRIPTION CIGARETTE FILTER WITH FLAVORED PARTICLES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (a) Invention Site The present invention is a new smoke-increasing filter bar; the filter that increases the smoke in question a smoking article comprising the stick; and the filter bar that increases the smoke in question relates to a method for its preparation. No.3,771,534 a filter cartridge is integrated into a cigarette cartridge. The two rollers are aligned, their similar diameter ends, one is connected to the cigarette to be smoked, and the other is the tip. It is connected to the short side of the functioning cigarette. Filter cartridge, flavoring the smoke It can be impregnated with an essential oil such as menthol or mint for act as air chambers to cool it. The purpose of this concept is to In addition, it relies on double filters that provide protection against contaminants. With this however, the smoke for the customer is mildly flavored, the smoke cools, It is an obstacle to aroma adhesion. In addition, menthol and essential oils It has been shown to leave an unpleasant aftertaste to customer groups. with its effective capacity to filter out gaseous phase toxic agents in smoke A flavored cigarette filter made of granular activated carbon, known as and treated in such a way that the distribution rates of the flavoring-agent are improved.

In fact, carbon can be absorbed and retained by sucrose or activated carbon and Treatment with any material that can act as a pore-modifying agent The effect of this consists in blocking the most sequestered parts of the carbon so that less persistent ones available for adsorption of smoke flavoring agent such as menthol remains. Therefore, the flavoring agent is kept on carbon throughout its shelf life, with When measured and selected together, only the most retained pores it is released so that it cannot be used. Such situations are usually inefficient filtration of harmful agents and very low dispersion of flavoring agents results in pore-modifying agent, most of the attachment points on carbon it blocks. No. 4,620,554, an agent for softening a cigarette is applied to the upper end of the cigarette. binds and provides flavoring of smoke and removal of nicotine taste. This kind a softening agent consists of a mixture of powder material. The purpose of this invention is to improve the nicotine taste of the smoke and reduce the associated combustion. With this However, this invention mainly aims to enhance the taste of tobacco, but also to nicotine and other unpleasant taste and aftertaste of cigarette smoke caused by components aims to reduce and hide. based on the concept of a flavored cigarette filter. Filter tip, aroma-proof in the middle contains a space filled with particles. These flavored sealing particles are a natural polysaccharide, a diluting agent and also, various powder and oil soluble Produced from one or more aroma materials selected from aromas: most popular licorice root, cloves, cinnamon powder and vanilla, lemon, Japanese mint it is oil. This encapsulation protects against volatilization and degradation of flavors. provides protection. In order to impart the aroma, the capsules are twisted or greater than that normally applied when smoking by the smoker through the application of force to the outer surface of the filter. should be included. Crystalline sugars with greater hardness than flavor particles and particles such as table salt, degradation-accelerating particles accelerate the rate of aroma degradation. can be added to increase. As a result, such a product removes flavor particles. it gives a chance to enjoy a flavored cigarette or an original one without breaking. This invention can be seen as a breakthrough in the cigarette flavor industry: however, at its core main part of a filter tip containing a cavity filled with aroma particles found The problem is that these particles often tend to be compact and do not breathe. is an increase in resistance. Thus, these cigarettes tend to make smoking difficult and Customers are not interested in such a product. to the concept of a new method for individually mechanically joining is related. The resulting filter rods are attached to the mesh filter, such as capsules containing flavorings. It has embedded objects.

A cigarette created with a filter that provides a certain level of protection is final. highly desirable, a desirable aroma is added for the natural flavor of the smoke, Its essence is enhanced, offering a better and more pleasant aftertaste. In fact, previous technologies presented in the art, often excessive filtering to the tip of the cigarette results in being made, where the taste is changed and usually the flavoring substance It must be re-flavored through a pass in a second filter containing This inventions such as It results in a reduction in the aftertaste of the cigarette.

The filtration material is generally in the form of a fibrous chitin, although in the same It may also take other physical forms, such as a corrugated sheet in the case of paper. A According to the regulation, the type of smoking, cigarettes, cigars, which will be added to the smoke-increasing filter and can be selected from thin and short cigars.

The present invention consists of a smoke-increasing filter rod and a cigarette containing said filter. Miscellaneous production of the final product, including a method for manufacturing the product will be explained with reference to the stages.

Smoke-increasing herbal flavoring particles, menthol and/or essential oils and/or aromatic herbal blended with one or more of its ingredients It consists of particles or aromatic herbal particles. Artificial purified agents linked to the use of plant particles in filter rods that increase smoke instead the main purpose is to supply consumers with natural flavorings or in combination with menthol and/or essential oils and/or their It is the provision of one or more of its components, thereby providing a refreshing taste and A product with an improved aftertaste is provided. plant particles, roots, any usable plant of a selected plant, such as leaves, flowers, stems, or buds. contains the part. These are collected, dried and mechanically embedded in the filter bar. cut to a suitable size. The preferred moisture content of the particles to be added yields between 10% and 14% each of the uncured. a preferred In the embodiment, natural mint particles are used to flavor the smoke.

Comparing the use of natural mint particles in a filter of a smoking device. Several studies have suggested that the smoking product is a commercially available menthol cigarette. carried out to compare with First, when included in a generated filter, loading of natural greenhouse and field mint particles over a long period of time, Studies are carried out on its aroma and general taste. These tests, natural mint flavor particles different from flavoring products currently on the market. has shown that it offers impressive features. Also, smoke tests show that natural mint characteristic taste and aftertaste, in this case, many The result of a combination of the ingredient is a strong cooling effect of an existing menthol product. It gives a refreshing taste and an improved aftertaste compared to its effect.

Flavoring particles can be placed on a filter bar through various techniques: particles can be found in a gap in the filter bar or in the filter material and/or filter material. "Dalmatian filters" according to known techniques can be done. For example, “Dalmatian filters”, herbal flavorings that increase smoke filtration, in which particles are scattered before being folded and wrapped in wrapping material consists of material. Various steps to provide the concept of this type of filter required: first, the filter material is wound in a roll, from which it is continuously drawn. Lateral The expanded flat material is a smoke-enhancing material through a mechanical support. is brought to the particle dispersal section. A hopper on a rotating distribution roller and has a guide housing on the front. Smoke fed in the chamber The herbal flavoring particles that increase It is applied evenly to the filter material fed as Note here An important detail is that the herbal flavoring particles that increase the smoke is that the filter material with which it is sprinkled can be dyed for aesthetic reasons.

After the dispersal of the particles is complete, the filter material is It is brought to the second part where it is performed. A filter to fold the filter material material folding part is used. A holding plate protruding from the machine body, on another top surface of a receiver plate protruding from this machine body It is provided horizontally through a gap corresponding to the thickness of the filter material found.

On a mounting bar protruding from the body of the machine, on the front is a pair of bent rods that are tightly closed together. Each bar a bent portion of the filter material to press down on both sides of the filter material. is provided. A double clamping slender plate is placed in the middle of the edges. the upper part of the holding plate for clamping, folding and collecting. bent portions of rods pressed down and bent on both sides on its surface It is supplied pressed inward by Thin plates for clamping, arranged to cross each other, with plates for clamping and holding plate the distance between them is increased towards the rear and the opposite edge portions of the material It is drawn inward by its nourishment. At the same time, the superimposed feeding in this part the edges overlap to form the overlapping part. Accordingly, the filter The opposite edge parts of the material are attached to the sleeve part of the forming section. It envelops the herbal flavoring particles that increase the directed smoke. filter material A thin rod containing embedded particles is placed in the sleeve. It is collected in shaped bundles and then formed into a porous or non-porous covered with exercise paper (filter wrapping paper). After that, in the filter cutter section cut into bars of predetermined length.

Filters are also made of various filter materials, physical forms and/or composition. can be configured as a combination of parts, where the smoke-increasing herbal flavoring particles are located at different places along the length of the stick. This kind of construction, overall appearance, regular "dalmatian filter" in terms of shrinkage resistance can provide several advantages in comparison. These special filter rods are alternating in rod. It is produced from two types of parts, which are found as a part and held together with the exercise paper. Actually, two or five filters embedded with flavor particles or normal filter material A combination of material is permanently attached to the bar and the total part depending on the number, "double dalmatian filter", "triple dalmatian filter", "quad dalmatian filter" known as a "five dalmatian filter" and a "five dalmatian filter". If more of them are of different lengths, make sure that all of the sections are of the same size. or if it is asymmetrical, it may be symmetrical.

The first type of split filter rods is a combination of herbal flavoring particles that increase the smoke. a piece of filter material in which it is embedded and also a regular filter It is a "double dalmatian filter" containing part of the material. adjacent to the tobacco stick The part of the positioned filter is used to give aroma to the smoke drawn through it. the part that contains the herbal flavoring particles that increase the embedded smoke, here the mouth The part located at the end of it is produced exactly as a "dalmatian filter", but does not smoke. without a step consisting of scattering herbal flavoring particles that enhance It is made of produced smooth filter material. Such a structure is of interest for two reasons. it is attractive. First, a portion of a regular filter material at the mouth end of the cigarette herbal flavoring, the presence of which increases the smoke during manipulation by the consumer It prevents particles from falling out of the cigarette.

A second configuration of split filter rods is the "triple dalmatian filter". bars". A filter of this type of filter containing two or three different sections. configuration option is as follows: adjacent to tobacco stick and mouth tip both sections are made of regular filter material, here the next two sections The part between It is made of filter material. Therefore, the smoke is aromatized as it passes through the filter and The appearance of the product is the same as that of regular cigarettes.

Another filter configuration is a triplet filter in which the nozzle section is a smooth filter. It is a dalmatian filter, the middle section is embedded with mint particles and a tobacco stick part is buried with coal and/or resin particles, among others.

A type of triple filter differs from the "triple-dalmatian filter rods" previously described.

In fact, the "space filter" is a smoke-enhancing herbal flavoring particle containing particles. Designed as a filter bar consisting of 2 sections separated by a space Therefore, it creates an alternative for aromatizing the smoke. Because, instead of two regular partitions separated by a partition in which the particle is embedded, sections, herbal aroma enhancing pure free smoke placed in a cavity in the filter separated by donor particles. Such a structure means that the product is the same as regular cigarettes. Due to its appearance and interesting flavoring properties, Embedded filter with vegetal flavoring particles that increase the core and smoke in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention consisting of a variation of the material They are filter bars with configuration option. Various sections, on the filter bar, in a row where a portion of a regular filter material will be located at the mouth end. is placed. The presence of multiple sections in the filter bar provides consumers with a variety of products. makes it possible to present In fact, with herbal flavoring particles that increase the smoke various parts that are buried, various among others or that increase this smoke using vegetable flavoring particles and/or charcoal and resin can be prepared. Therefore, the resulting product is a more intense flavored product. may produce a smoke characterized by smoke or a mixture of flavors, thus It allows a better modulation of taste and aftertaste.

As before, various tobacco products can be added to this type of filter and the procedure as below. Smoking product, a cylindrical open-ended rod, as a cigarette It is prepared by filling it with potable filling material. Such materials are normally it may consist of a mixture of shredded tobacco where the composition may vary, Varieties available, flue smoke, burley, Oriental, Maryland, black, black tobacco and Rustica tobaccos, and also rare and specialty tobacco products. Tobacco stick circumferential wrap material may vary in composition and properties. Tobacco stick one end is the ignition end, the other is adapted to connect to the filter. Filter and tobacco The bar is prepared in similar diameters and successively with the discharge material. are aligned in an end-to-end relationship prior to attachment. Filter ventilation, in-line This can be done by pre-drilled bleed or laser perforation.

While the invention has been described in connection with its particular embodiments, further modifications may be made and this application is known in the art to which the invention relates. or, as in customary practice, and to the basic characteristics laid down before and then the present specification as applicable to the scope of the appended claims. of the invention that contains the known explanations and generally follows the principles of the invention. intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations will be understood.
