Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cigarette comprising a tobacco rod and an adjoining filter, and more particularly to a filter that includes a capsule packed with flavored adsorbent.
  • Cigarettes with filters are old in the art, and filters that include adsorbents also are well known.
  • adsorbents when used in cigarette filter constructions it is important that they be presented in a fully packed condition so as to avoid or substantially reduce channeling of mainstream tobacco smoke in and around the adsorbent.
  • flavors have been added to mainstream tobacco smoke it is important to maintain such flavors as fresh as possible for extended shelf life of the cigarette.
  • one of the objects of the present invention is a cigarette filter containing adsorbent particles in a fully packed condition so as to avoid channeling of mainstream tobacco smoke in and around the adsorbent particles.
  • Another object of the present invention is a cigarette filter containing flavored adsorbent particles wherein the amount of flavor is precise.
  • Still another object of the present invention is a cigarette filter containing fully packed flavored adsorbent particles within a capsule to preserve freshness of the flavored particles.
  • a cigarette comprises a filter and an adjoining tobacco rod.
  • the filter includes a capsule having a first end wall with a surrounding side wall secured thereto. Adsorbent particles are packed into the enclosure of the capsule, and flavorant is placed on the particles. A second end wall caps-off the side wall, and a plurality of perforations are located in the end walls of the capsule.
  • the adsorbent spherical carbon particles comprise a combination of two different sizes.
  • the filter has a plug-space-plug configuration with the capsule in the central space.
  • the plugs on opposite ends of the capsule may each comprise cellulose acetate tow.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a cigarette comprising a tobacco rod and a filter that includes a capsuled adsorbent and flavorant, according to the present invention, with portions of the filter broken away to show interior details;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the capsuled adsorbent and flavorant of the cigarette filter shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is an end elevational view of the capsuled adsorbent and flavorant shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the capsuled adsorbent with flavorant being applied to the adsorbent within the capsule prior to capping the capsule, according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a cigarette 10 comprising a tobacco rod 12 and a filter 14 adjoining the tobacco rod.
  • Filter 14 has a plug-space-plug configuration and the central space provides a compartment for a capsule 16 containing a flavored adsorbent material, as explained more fully below.
  • Plugs 18 and 20 each of cellulose acetate tow are located on opposite ends of the capsule 16 .
  • Tipping paper 22 is wrapped around the filter 14 and joins the filter to the tobacco rod.
  • Perforations 24 may be provided in the tipping paper for the introduction of air which dilutes the mainstream tobacco smoke following through the filter.
  • Capsule 16 comprises an impervious surrounding side wall 24 and a first and second end wall 26 , 28 .
  • Adsorbent particles 30 , 32 are fully packed into the enclosure of the capsule, and a flavorant 34 is applied to the particles.
  • Both end walls 26 and 28 include a plurality of perforations 34 which enable mainstream smoke to pass through the capsule.
  • the adsorbent particles may comprise carbon particles or particles of APS silica gel (3-aminopropylsilyl groups covalently bonded to silica gel).
  • the particles may also include tobacco beads.
  • the capsule 16 is produced by initially forming the surrounding side wall 24 with one end wall 26 attached thereto. Particles 28 , 30 each having a different size are fully packed into the capsule and a precise amount of flavorant 34 is delivered onto the particles by an applicator device 38 . The opposite end of the surrounding side wall 24 is then capped-off by end wall 28 .
