- FIG.7 FIG-8 INVENTOR. ANTHONY P. MILLER ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,240,213 CIGARETTE Anthony P. Miller, Pleasantville, NJ. Achilles Corp., 3333 Arctic Ave., Atlantic City, NJ.) Filed Jan. 25, 1962, Ser. No. 168,792 9 Claims. (Cl. 131-16)
- This invention relates to a cigarette which is constructed and adapted for the purpose of minimizing the harmful health effects involved in the smoking of cigarettes.
- smoking tobacco is today both well known and widespread in spits of the fact that it is recognized by some authorities that smoking is injurious to the delicate membranes of the nose, throat and lungs of the smoker and is credited with inducing cancer of the lips, mouth, throat and lungs, and with inducing heart diseases.
- the principal products of tobacco smoke are carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, acid fumes, nicotine vapors, and tars.
- the first two of these products are not generally regarded as harmful to the smoker.
- the remainder of these products are generally considered harmful and even though only a small proportion of these products resulting from the combustion of the entire cigarette actually enter the smokers system, that quantity is sufiicient to be considered by some authorities as being harmful to the smoker.
- this unit also includes a bafile arrangement including an orifice plate for effecting a precipitation and trapping of the small percentage of the tars produced.
- the cigarette is constructed, during the course of its manufacture, with "ice a hollow tip portion adjacent a tobacco-containing portion.
- the tip portion receives smoke flowing from the burning cigarette during smoking thereof and is provided with passageway means through which air from the outside of the cigarette may pass into the interior of the hollow tip in response to the smoker applying suction to the interior of the tip. Since suction in the tip draws air from the outside, the amount of air drawn through the burning portion of the cigarette is less than the amount that would be drawn if the entire suction were applied to the tobacco cylinder. Hence less oxygen is drawn into the burning portion of the cigarette so that the burning temperatures are less and generally will not be excessive. This lowering of the burning temperature causes a reduction in the production of harmful tars in the burning zone. Moreover, since there is lower temperature smoke passing through the tobacco, there will be less condensation of tobacco tars.
- An alternate form of cigarette in accordance with this invention comprises a slotted cylinder which is mounted within the hollow tip portion adjacent the tobacco-containing portion of the cigarette.
- the cylindrical has a plurality of passageways adapted to receive smoke from the burning cigarette and outside air passing through the passageways in the tip portion.
- the passageways provided in the cylinder permit the outside air to enter and provide mixing chambers in which the outside air and smoke are thoroughly intermixed which results in cooling of the smoke to cause coagulation of the tars.
- the tars which enter the mixing chambers will tend to adhere to the walls thereof by reason of their sticky nature.
- the cigarette in accordance with this invention in addition to preventing the formation of tars, is easily and inexpensively manufactured and has a built-in tar collecting means so that there is no need to use a tar removing cigarette holder. Moreover, since tars are accumulated in the tip portion of the cigarette and/or the slotted cylinder, the cigarette in accordance with this invention eliminates the harmful effect of the tars while still providing a tobacco aroma which is pleasing to the smoker.
- FIGURE 1 is an axial section through a cigarette representing a first embodiment of the invention
- FIGURE 2 is an axial section through a cigarette representing another embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 3 is an axial section through a cigarette representing another embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a front view of a slotted cylinder in accordance with this invention.
- FIGURE 5 is a left end view of the cylinder shown in FIGURE 4.
- FIGURE 6 is a right end view of the cylinder shown in FIGURE 4.
- FIGURE 7 is a section taken as indicated by lines 77 in FIGURE 5;
- FIGURE 8 is a sectional view of another form of cylinder in accordance with this invention.
- a cigarette being made up partly of a tobaccocontaining portion including the usual paper wrapper 2 which contains a tobacco filler 4.
- the other portion of the cigarette D consists of a tubular member 6 preferably made of paper stock and having an internal diameter approximating the outer diameter of the wrapper 2 so that the tobacco cylinder fits snugly within the tubular member 6.
- the portion of the wrapper 2 extending within the tubular member -6 is suitably secured, as by adhesive, to the inner Wall of member 6 so that the tobacco cylinder and member 6 are held together as a unit.
- the tubular member 6 forms the bit of the cigarette D and is provided with passageway means providing communication between the exterior of the cigarette and the cylindrical chamber 10 with the bit.
- the passageway meansdisclosed in the form of the invention shown in FIGURE 1 comprises eight grooves 8 in the inner wall of member 6 extending longitudinally thereof. Grooves 8 are circumferentially equidistantly spaced and extend a distance beyond the end of the tobacco containing portion of the cigarette as shown in FIGURE 1.
- the total cross-sectional area of the passages preferably is of the order of 0.0020 square .inch, although satisfactory results may be obtained within the range of from 0.0010 to.0.0025 square inch.
- This area is a function of the number, dimensions and configurations of the air passages. These dimensions apply to the cigarettes to be described hereafter.
- FIGURE 2 there is shown a cigarette, generally designated E, which comprises a tobacco-containing portion similar to that disclosed in the FIGURE 1 embodiment of the invention so that like reference numerals have been applied thereto.
- This form of the invention comprises a modified form of bit which comprises a tubular member 12 constructed and arranged to receive the tobacco-containing portion in the same manner as the FIGURE 1 form of the invention.
- Member 12 defines a cylindrical chamber 14 therein and has a passageway means comprising a plurality of radially extending, circumferentially spaced openings 16, eight such openings being shown in the illustrated embodiment of the invention.
- FIGURE 3 there is shown a cigarette F having the usual tobacco-containing portion comprising wrapper 2 and tobacco filling 4.
- This embodiment of the invention comprises another'form of bit which consists of a tubular member 18 constructed and arranged to receive the tobacco cylinder in the same manner as the embodiment shown in FIGURE 1.
- Tubular member 18 defines .a cylindrical chamber 20 therein adjacent the tobacco cylinderand has a passageway means for the flow of air to this chamber 20 from the exterior of the cigarette.
- the passageway means is formed by crimping the inner surface of the tubular member 18 so as to provide a plurality of longitudinally extending passageways 22 having a corrugated cross-section.
- the passageways 22 extend beyond the end of the tobacco cylinder in order to provide communication between the chamber 20 and the exterior of the cigarette C.
- the cigarette shown in FIGURE 1 is also provided a cylindrical member which is mounted within chamber 10 in abutting relation with the enclosed end of the tobacco cylinder as shown in FIGURE 1.
- Cylinder 30 has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of tubular member 6 so as to fit snugly therein and is secured to member 6 by suitable means such as adhesive.
- the cylinder 30 is provided with a pair of annular grooves 32 and 34.
- Groove 32 is located at the periphery of the cylinder 30 and groove 34 is spaced radially inwardly from groove 32 as is best shown in-FIGURE 5.
- the periphery of groove 32 ' is spaced from the inner wall of tip 6 and provides a passageway for the entrance of outside air from the slots 8.
- Cylinder 30 is also provided with a plurality of axially extending slots 36 which are located in radial planes of the cylinder 30 (as is best shown in FIGURE 5).
- slots 36 are tapered to converge from the upstream to the downstream end of the cylinder 30. Slots 36 provide relatively large inlet ports 38 at the upstream end of cylinder 30 and relatively small outlet ports 40 at the downstream end thereof. Slots 36 are outwardly rounded adjacent the outlet ports as indicated at 42.
- the cylinder 30 may be constructed with various dimensions and may have a different number of grooves and slots. However, one satisfactory de sign is that shown in the drawings in which there are provided ten slots 36 and two grooves 32 and 34.
- the cylinder is one-quarter of an inch in length, with the ten slots 36 being 0.012 of an inch wide and tapered to provide outlet ports of 0.020 of an inch in radial length, and with the grooves 32 and 34 being 0.012 of an inch wide and 0.090 of an inch deep.
- the radius of the curved portion 42 is five-sixteenths of an inch.
- the cylinder 30 may be made of various materials, such as metal (preferably aluminum), paper or plastic.
- FIGURE 8 Another form of cylinder which may be used is shown in FIGURE 8.
- the cylinder 44 shown in this figure is essentially the same as the cylinder 30, the only difference being that there is provided a conical cavity 46 in the downstream end of the cylinder 44.
- the purpose of this cavity 46 is to provide better heat dissipation by the cylinder.
- the cigarette shown in FIGURE 2 is also provided with a cylinder 30 mounted in the upstream end of chamber 14 in abutting relation with the tobacco cylinder in the same manner as the cylinder 30 employed in the cigarette D.
- the cigarette shown in FIGURE 3 is provided with a cylinder 30 mounted in the upstream end of the chamber 20 in abutting relation with the tobacco cylinder.
- the cylinder 30 may be secured, as by adhesive, to the bit 18 so as to be held in this portion adjacent the tobacco cylinder, as in the case of cigarette D.
- the cylinder 30 effects a rather intimate and complete mixture of the outside air and smoke in the slots 36, which may be considered to be mixing chambers.
- This effective mixture results from the turbulent flow produced by the jets of outside air entering the slots and grooves of the cylinder, the air and smoke tending to swirl about the grooves.
- the entrance and the mixture of the air with the smoke will reduce the temperature of the combustion products passing from the tobacco-containing portion of the cigarette whereby the tars coagulate.
- the cylinder 30 additionally aids this temperature reduction of the smoke by the dissipation of heat.
- Cylinder 30 has a substantial heat dissipating area which may be increased by the construction shown in FIGURE 8.
- the cylinder 30 also serves to capture a large portion of the tars which are formed, these tars adhering to the surface of the cylinder defining the slots and grooves by reason of the sticky nature of the tars. It will be evident that the cylinder 30provides a considerable surface area for capturing the tars by reason of its construction.
- the cylinder 30 is not easily clogged by reason of the multiple groove and slot arrangement. Even if portions O ne or more of the slots were clogged by bits of tobacco or tars, the smoke and air can take any number of alternate paths around the blocked portion.
- the tar-reduced smoke will pass out of the slots or mixing chambers 36 by way of the outlet ports 40 into the downstream end of the chamber 10. From the chamber the tar-reduced smoke passes to the smokers mouth.
- the slots 36 of cylinder 30 also have a flow controlling effect on the air drawn through the burning cone of the cigarette which affects the smoke that passes through the cigarette.
- the slots 36 in effect, serve as flow restricting passageways for controlling the amount of smoke that can pass through the cigarette.
- the use of the cylinder 30 also eliminates the need for any filter adjacent the end of the tobacco cylinder for preventing the passage of bits of tobacco through the cigarette.
- the cylinder 30 also performs this function.
- a cigarette constructed in a manner such as cigarettes D, E and F will effectively prevent the formation of about 60-80 percent of the tars with or without the use of a trap for the tars.
- the cylinder 30 By the addition of the cylinder 30, it is possible to trap substantially all of the tars which are formed. Moreover, since most of the low amount of the tars which are formed are collected on the various surface areas of the cylinder, the tobacco aroma provided thereby, which aroma is pleasing to the smoker, will be retained.
- a cigarette or the like comprising a cylindrical tobacco-containing portion, a tubular bit portion, said portions being mounted together in coaxial relation with said bit portion providing a smoke passage extending from and in continuation of the tobacco, and a cylindrical member within said bit portion adjacent the tobacco cylinder, said cylindrical member having a plurality of spaced slots extending longitudinally through said cylindrical member, said slots providing spaced inlet ports in the end of said cylinder adjacent said tobacco cylinder and spaced outlet ports at the opposite end of said cylindrical member, passageway means in said bit communicating at one end with the exterior of said cigarette and at the other end with said slots whereby said slots provide mixing chambers for outside air and the smoke flowing from said tobacco cylinder, said passageway means having a fixed predetermined cross-sectional area for controlling the amount of outside air drawn into the smoke passage when the smoker draws on the cigarette.
- a cigarette as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cylindrical member has an annular groove in the periphery thereof and in the upstream end thereof communicating with said slots.
- a cigarette as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cylindrical member has a plurality of radially spaced annular grooves in the upstream end thereof communicating with said slots, one of said annular grooves being in the periphery of said member.
- a cigarette or the like comprising a cylindrical tobacco-containing portion, a tubular bit portion, said portions being mounted together in coaxial relation with said tobacco cylinder extending within one end of said bit portion and with said bit portion providing a smoke passage extending from and in continuation of the tobacco, said bit portion having passageway means therein providing communication between the exterior of said bit portion and said smoke passage, said passageway means being arranged to deliver outside air into said smoke passage at a location adjacent said downstream end of said tobacco cylinder, said passageway means comprising a plurality of grooves in the inner wall of the bit portion extending longitudinally from the end of said bit containing said tobacco cylinder to a location downstream of the contained end of said tobacco cylinder, said grooves being circumferentially spaced about the circumference of said bit portion and having a predetermined crosssectional area for providing a substantial flow resistance and for accurately controlling the amount of air drawn into the smoke passage when the smoker draws on the cigarette, and a cylindrical member within said bit portion adjacent the tobacco cylinder, said cylindrical member having a plurality of spaced,
- passageway means comprises means defining a plurality of passageways extending longitudinally from the end of said bit adjacent said tobacco cylinder to said smoke passage, said plurality of passageways being provided by elongated corrugations in the inner wall of said bit portion.
