  • FIG. 1 An invention which involves reducing the amount of smoke delivered by a cigarette to the smoker is set forth in US. Pat. 2,992,647 to Frank H. J. Figge.
  • the Figge patent involves a method of making a cigarette or the like having built-in means for regulating the combustion temperature, said means comprising perforations or pores in the cigarette paper which are filled with a material that melts or sublimes at such a temperature that the perforations or openings will open up a short distance in advance of the burning area to regulate the amount of air or the percentage of the puff coming through the burning area.
  • Figge patent provides advantages over the previously known ventilation means, it does not provide a complete solution to the basic problem which involves a combination of: (l) reducing the amount of smoke delivered to the smoker of a cigarette and (2) satisfying the smoker of the cigarette.
  • the Figge invention while providing an automatic method for opening vent holes in cigarettes, involves an opening of the vent holes only upon the relatively close approach of the hot coal to the vent holes.
  • the present invention involves an improvement over the prior art dilution methods, including that disclosed by Figge, and makes possible a smoking product which can provide the desired degree of smoking satisfaction while also providing lower delivery of tars and nicotine to the smoker on a per puff basis as well as on an overall cigarette basis.

  • FIG. 4 is a cros-sectional view of the same vent hole shown in FIG. 3, after the heat of the coal and of the cigarette smoke has caused the cellular plastic film to break down and the hole to be opened.
  • a cigarette 1 consisting of a cylinder of tobacco 2 is encased in a combustible paper cylinder 3.
  • paper cylinder 3 In paper cylinder 3 are vent holes 4, which have been covered by cellular plastic film 5.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 an enlarged portion of cigarette 1 is shown, as indicated in the drawings, which is representative of all openings 4, wherein vent holes 4 are covered by cellular plastic film 5 having air bubbles 7. Film 5 blocks passage 6 in vent hole 4.
  • opening 4 in paper cylinder 3 is shown with film 5a resulting from the degradation of cellular plastic film 4, to form free passage 6 through vent hole 4, which passage connects tobacco 2 with the exterior of the cigarette 1.
  • the objects of the present invention are realized by perforating the wrapper of a cigarette or other smoking product with holes of sufficient size to provide significant dilution of the smoke by air, and covering or filling these holes with a material having a cellular structure, for example, a bubble coating, which is susceptible to the action of heat from the burning tobacco to such a degree that the smoke from the first portion of the cigarette causes the film gradually to disintegrate in such a way that the holes are opened after the first few puffs of the cigarette or similar smoking product have been taken.
  • a material having a cellular structure for example, a bubble coating
  • the smoking product delivers undiluted smoke during the first few puffs, but during the latter stages of smoking the smoking product is ventilated, i.e. the smoke is diluted, to any desired degree, as determined by the number and size of the holes, and
  • the portion of a cigarette rod which is without such holes and the size and spacing of the holes will be dependent on the amount of undiluted smoke desired in the first puffs and the amount of dilution thereafter desired and the specific rate of action of the smoke upon the cellular structure and in some instances upon the thickness of the structure.
  • the film and its thickness can be varied to control the proportion of unventilated smoke delivered.
  • the holes will not be opened during the first four to six puffs.
  • Heat degradable cellular structures which may be employed include three-dimensional cellular structures having a multiplicity of microscopic or submicroscopic voids distributed throughout its volume beneath the outer surface thereof.
  • the material, apart from these voids, is substantially continuous and homogeneous and the film as a whole is opaque because of its heterogeneous physical structure, due to such voids.
  • the cellular material softens and coalesces with attendant collapse of the coating, whereby the vent holes covered by a coating or film of such a cellular structure are opened up.
  • Such a film may be prepared and applied to the paper base by applying thereto an emulsion of the water-in-oil type, wherein a film-forming plastic is the continuous phase and the dispersed phase is present in the form of multitudinous droplets, at least almost all of which are of microscopic or submicroscopic dimensions, and by drying the film in such manner that the dispersed phase is evaporated without essential disruption or substantial collapse of the cellular structure of the continuous phase.
  • the gelation of the plastic film and evaporation of the water therefrom may to a certain extent be simultaneous, in general they occur in substantial sequence in that order, in that the plastic layer first attains such a degree of semi-solidity as to be effective to drop the dispersed water droplets.
  • the water is then evaporated by diffusion through the rigid, or substantially rigid, cellular walls of the plastic and is replaced by air forming the voids already referred to.
  • the continuous phase of the emulsion may be termed a lacquer in that it is a film-forming material dissolved in a solvent adapted, on normal evaporation of such solvent, to dry down as a continuous layer.
  • the solvent is characterized by insolubility in water.
  • the dispersed phase is aqueous, either water, a water-soluble liquid or a water-dissolved solid, incompatible with the ingredients of the continuous phase, both film-former and solvent, or a combination of water with such liquid or solid.
  • an emulsion is aided by the addition of an emulsifying assistant suitable for water-in-oil dispersions, for example stearyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, aromatic polyglycol ethers.
  • emulsifiers are soluble in the lacquer solvent, which may be benzene, toluene, chloroform or any other meeting the requirements outlined above.
  • Ethyl cellulose may be used as the film-former, because of its compatibility with many substances capable of modifying the desired coating. Such modification may involve providing a lower softening temperature of the coating which may be achieved by adding a plasticizer to the film-former.
  • the plasticizer should be incompatible with the dispersed phase. Tricresyl phosphate, dioctyl phthalate and castor oil are examples of plasticizers which fill these requirements.
  • the dispersed phase determines the degree of aeration of the final coating in two Ways, (1) the water to lacquer ratio as indicated in the previous paragraph and (2) the particle size of the dispersion which may be reduced by homogenization, which results in a more stable emulsion and thus improves the degree of aeration of the solidified coating resultant from evaporation of the dispersed phase.
  • the degree of aeration determines the whiteness of the final coating.
  • Materials which are suited for use in accordance with the present invention include cellular structures made employing a thermoplastic resinous material.
  • a thermoplastic resinous material e.g., ethylene vinyl acetate.
  • EXAMPLE 1 41.24 grams of ethyl cellulose, grades Nl are dissolved in 650 cc. of toluene under stirring.
  • Grade N-100 identifies a resin, a solution of which in a solvent consisting of 80 parts toluene and parts ethanol has a viscosity of 93.5 centipoises.
  • emulsifier 1.9 grams of stearyl dimethyl benzene ammonium chloride (Triton K60) are added.
  • Triton K60 stearyl dimethyl benzene ammonium chloride
  • 92 cc. of distilled water are added dropwise or in the form of a fine spray at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification. This emulsion produces a photometer reading of 73% when applied and dried as a coating of 6.0 pounds per ream. The apparent density of the coating is measured to 0.39.
  • EXAMPLE 2 This dilfers from Example 1 in the amount of water used to form the dispersed phase, 184 cc. of water, or twice as much as in Example 1. This emulsion produces a photometer reading of 80% when applied and dried as a coating of 4.0 pounds per ream. That is, the coating is lighter in Example 1, but the whiteness is superior. The apparent density of the coating is measured to be 0.16.
  • EXAMPLE 3 This is like Example 1 except a still larger amount of water is used, 504 cc. This emulsion produces a photometer reading of 71% hen applied and dried as a coating of 2.2 pounds per ream. The apparent density of the coating is measured to be 0.08.
  • EXAMPLE 4 This example illustrates the use of a less volatile solvent for the resin and an evaporation retarder for the aqueous constituent. If the resin solvent is less readily driven off the continuous resin phase does not pass over into the solid form so rapidly and it might be possible for much of the water to evaporate before it was trapped, with resultant collapse to a considerable degree of the cellular structure and the production of a coating of poor hiding power. This may be avoided by the addition to the water phase of an ingredient retarding its evaporation, that is, providing a decreased vapor pressure of the dispersed phase. This is the specific example.
  • Triton K60 1.9 grams are added. Under constant high-speed stirring, a mixture of 378 grams of ethylene glycol and 126 cc. of distilled water are added dropwise or in the form of a fine spray at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification. This emulsion produces a photometer reading of 71% when applied and dried as a coating of 2.2 pounds per ream.
  • EXAMPLE 5 This example as contrasted with Example 2 illustrates the use of a smaller amount of resin of greater molecular Weight and rence greater viscosity, whereby a lower proportion of solids may be utilized to provide a coating of acceptable whiteness and opacity.
  • Ethyl cellulose of grade N-300 having a viscosity of 319.7 centipoises as contrasted with 93.5 for grade N-lOO previously referred to, is used.
  • EXAMPLE 6 This example, as contrasted with Example 2, illustrates the addition of a plasticizer in order to reduce the softening temperature of the coating and increase its heat sensitivity.
  • Examples 7 and 8 are examples in which a mixture of resinous plastics is utilized as the lacquer base, or otherwise expressed, ethyl cellulose as used in the previous examples is modified by added resins. In these instances coatings of improved gloss and hardness and a superior degree of whiteness are provided for.
  • EXAMPLE 7 41.25 grams of ethyl cellulose, grade N-IOO, are dissolved in 650 cc. of toluene under stirring. As resin modifier 10.25 grams of chlorinated diphenyl resin (Aroclor 5460) and as emulsifier, 1.9 grams of polyglycol ethers (Antarox A200) are added. Under constant stirring, 299 cc. of distilled water are added dropwise or in the form of a fine spray at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification.

  • EXAMPLE 8 41.25 grams of ethyl cellulose, grade Nl00, are dissolved in 650 cc. of toluene under stirring. As resin modifier, 41.24 grams of a coumarine-indene resin and as emulsifier, 1.9 grams of polygonal ethers (Antarox A-ZOO) are added. Under constant stirring, 620 cc. of water are added dropwise or in the form of a fine spray at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification.

  • EXAMPLE ll 25 grams of polymethyl methacrylate, having a molecular weight of 31.60 or more and a flow temperature (Max.) of 138 C. are dissolved in a mixture of 100 cc. of toluene and 50 cc. of methylene dichloride. As emulsifier, 2 grams of Arlacel C are added. Under constant stirring, 75 cc. of water are added at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification.

  • EXAMPLE 12 EXAMPLE l3 grams of cellulose acetate of a grade having a low acetyl value and an Eastman viscosity of 2-5 seconds are dissolved in a mixture of 100 cc. of methylene dichloride and 10 cc. of i-so-octyl alcohol under stirring. As emulsifier, 1.5 grams of Antarox G-IOO are added. Under constant stirring, 55 cc. of water are added at a rate slow enough to permit uniform emulsification. This emulsion produces a photometer reading of 77% when applied and dried as a coating of 5.5 pounds per ream.
  • Particularly suitable cellular plastics for use in accordance with the present invention are those which will melt or degrade at temperatures from about 35 to about 250 C.
  • the dimensions and arrangements of the holes or perforations will vary in accordance with the desired results. They may be arranged and may be of the sizes and shapes shown in the above-mentioned Figge patent or they may have other sizes, shapes and configurations.
  • a particular combination which provides outstanding results in accordance with the present invention involves the use, in a cigarette or the like, of spaced perforations no closer to the smoking end of the cigarette or smoking article than mm., said perforations having a total surface corresponding to from about 0.2 to about 1.5% of the total surface area of the cigarette wrap, said perforations being filled with or coated with a film having an average thickness across the holes or perforations of from about 3 to 60 microns and preferably of about 5 to 15 microns of a cellular structure of the type described earlier in this specification.
  • the use of the bubble coating to form the dissipatible film which seals the vent holes is characterized by a white opacity which disappears as the film melts or in the moments before when collapse of the bubble structure brings transparency. The smoker can see the vent holes being opened.
  • the bubble structure also results in a thicker film from a given weight of material, and this added thickness permits easier control during application.
  • the greater bulk of thickness means that a difference of a fraction of a mil is of less consequence than it would be otherwise.
  • the bubble-coating technique and the resulting film have been described earlier.
  • the film which results contains many small air bubbles which may occupy much more space than the solid portion but, in general, the bubbles are not connected. They have roughly the size of the wave length of visible light and the light-scattering effect of the bubbles gives the film opacity and brightness.
  • the bubbles are introduced by evaporation of a liquid which is first dispersed as minute droplets in the continuous phase with which the liquid is immiscible.
  • the continuous phase or binder which is a solution of the film-former in a different liquid, gels after coating is applied, usually due to partial evaporation of the latter liquid. The gel then fixes the liquidfilled bubbles. There is some shrinkage of the structure during the drying, while the liquid is passing out of the bubbles and dilfusing to the surroundings and air is replacing it in the bubbles.
  • Bubble coatings may be applied as either water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions to form cellular coatings which are heat degradable filling material.
  • oil-in-water systems would seem to be called for; that is, the continuous phase is a water solution.
  • a variation of the oil-in-water system is possible, however, and has showed an advantage.
  • two non-aqueous liquids, less polar than water, are employed; the two may be miscible, but one is not a solvent for the film-forming resin. When the resin is dissolved in the solvent liquid and the second liquid added, a clear solution may result.
  • Bubble coatings may contain pigment, but this is usually unnecessary for the purposes of the present invention and would merely obscure the desired change in appearance.
  • the coating may be applied by conventional methods to the perforated Wrapper or mouthpiece material; for example, it may be printed, roll-coated, knife or brush coated, or sprayed. I have found that a form of coating that coats only the perforations is probably most desirable. Coating preferably is done on the perforated wrapper or the like before the rod is formed, but it could instead take place on the wrapped tobacco rod or filler rod of the finished cigarette.
