Definitions

  • the puncturing is carried out while the tobacco rods are assembled with mouthpieces to form therewith filter cigarettes of multiple unit length.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for the production of cigarettes, filter cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, filter rods and/or like rod-shaped smoking products. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus for forming holes in tubular wrappers of rod-shaped smoking products wherein the wrappers surround air-permeable fillers of tobacco and/or filter material. Still more particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus which can be employed with particular advantage in the production of improved filter cigarettes or like rod-shaped smoking products wherein a wrapped tobacco rod is joined end-to-end with one or more rod-shaped filter mouthpieces.
  • the wrapper of the tobacco rod In certain filter cigarettes, it is desirable to provide the wrapper of the tobacco rod with one or more holes which admit cool atmospheric air when the user draws smoke into his or her mouth.
  • the holes cannot be too numerous or too large in order to avoid excessive weakening of wrappers and/or admission of excessive amounts of air. Furthermore, the holes must be made at the same rate at which the tobacco rods and/or filter cigarettes are produced in a modern high-speed automatic cigarette machine or filter cigarette machine.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus according to which the wrapper of each smoking product can be provided with a predetermined pattern or array of holes to show that such holes are not defects in the products but are formed on purpose in order to en- "ice hance the quality of products and the enjoyment of the user.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which can be incorporated in or combined with presently known machines for the production and/ or processing of rod-shaped smoking products.
  • the apparatus of my invention is employed to form holes or punctures in rod-shaped smoking products wherein a tubular wrapper surrounds a filler of air-permeable material.
  • the apparatus provides basically for imparting to rod-shaped products a rolling movement, and puncturing the wrappers in the course of such rolling movement.
  • Each wrapper is preferably punctured close to one end of the respective smoking product and each such wrapper may be punctured at several points to form therein a predetermined array of holes.
  • the apparatus provides for introducing a succession of equidistant smoking products into an elongated gap between two rolling surfaces which contact each wrapper at the opposite sides of the respective product, and moving at least one surface with reference to the other surface in a direction at right angles to the longitudinal directions of the smoking products.
  • the rolling movement may be preceded by means for placing each smoking product into axial alignment with at least one additional rod-shaped product which forms therewith a group of rod-shaped products and attaching an adhesive-coated uniting band to each group so that the bands extend across the abutting ends of products in the respective groups.
  • the bands are convoluted around the products of the respective groups in the course of the rolling movement.
  • the smoking products are preferably punctured in clase proximity of the respective uniting bands and the additional rod-shaped products may constitute filter mouthpieces which are connected with the smoking products to form therewith filter cigarettes or filter cigars of unit length or multiple unit length.
  • Each smoking product is preferably rolled about its axis two or more times, particularly if such products are united with mouthpieces to form therewith filter cigarettes or filter cigars.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary front elevational view of an apparatus which embodies one form of my invention and wherein the puncturing means is provided on a stationary rolling member;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary bottom plan view of the stationary rolling member as seen in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1;
