Definitions

  • cellulose acetate in cigarette filter tips is well known.
  • Cellulose acetate is most frequently employed for this purpose in the form of non-porous continuous fi aments, since in this form it is more easily controlled in processing operations, and when arranged collectively in a filter wad, is known to act as filtration medium for tobacco smoke.
  • the preparation of cellulose acetate by a spinning process is a long established art, and novel Ways of improving its effectiveness in filter wads, for example, by crimping, have hitherto been described. In all cases however the cellulose acetate has been prepar d by processes well known in the textile industry.
  • the active cellulose acetate may be impregnated into or coated on to one or both sides of a carrier matrix, such as, for example, paper tissue or natural or synthetic materials in the form of fabric, woven or non-Woven, or in the form of a loose fibre mat in which the fibres may be bonded or unbonded and parallel or criss-cross.
  • a carrier matrix such as, for example, paper tissue or natural or synthetic materials in the form of fabric, woven or non-Woven, or in the form of a loose fibre mat in which the fibres may be bonded or unbonded and parallel or criss-cross.
  • the formed sheet reinforced or otherwise may be cut up into shreds in the same way as tobacco, which can then be processed into filter wads, by the use of conventional cigarette manufacturing machines.
  • a method for the manufacture of cigarette filters from cellulose acetate which has a pitted active surface comprising the steps of impregnating a fibrous sheet carrier with a solution of cellulose acetate which has added thereto a precipitant liquid in an amount adjusted to up preach the precipitation point, treating the so impregnated carrier with the precipitant to occasion in situ formation of the active cellulose acetate on the carrier the said impregnated carrier being adapted to be formed into a filter tip for association with a cigarette.
  • a method for the manufacture of cigarette filters from cellulose acetate which has a pitted active surface comprising the steps of impregnating a fibrous matrix with a solution of cellulose acetate which has added thereto a precipitant liquid in an amount adjusted to approach the precipitation point, treating substantially all of the so impregnated matrix with the precipitant liquid to occasion in situ formation of the active cellulose acetate on the carrier the said impregnated carrier being adapted to be formed into a filter tip for association with a cigarette.
  • fibrous matrix is in the form of cut fibers selected from the group consisting of cellulose and cellulose acetate.
