Definitions
- This invention relates to smoking articles in general and more particularly, to a smoking article having enhanced flavor delivery.
- Traditional, lit-end cigarettes comprise a cylindrical tobacco rod portion that is between 7.0 and 10.0 mm in diameter and 60 mm and 125 mm in length.
- the tobacco rod portion which is composed of one, or more selected types of cut tobacco, is wrapped in cigarette paper along its outer circumference.
- a filter preferably of cellulose acetate or some other cellulosic material, is attached, in end- to-end relation, to the mouth end of the tobacco rod by a filter wrap. During puffs, smoke from the lit end of the cigarette travels the length of the tobacco rod and through the filter to the smoker.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,924,886 to Litzinger discloses a smoking article having a central tube of an impermeable material located within a tobacco column, wherein the central tube contains a heat absorbing, porous non-tobacco substrate including a flavor releasing material.
- the flavor releasing material is mixed with the porous substrate and the flavor is volatile at the smoldering temperature of the tobacco in the tobacco column.
- An aerosol generating material also impregnates the porous substrate and becomes aerosolized by the heat generated by the smoldering tobacco.
- a longitudinally extending tube is provided within the cigarette, surrounded by the tobacco filler material and an outer cigarette wrapper, with the longitudinally extending tube serving as an internal air passageway within the cigarette.
- the central longitudinally extending tube is impermeable to air flow, and therefore serves to control the amount of dilution of the mainstream smoke depending on whether the impermeable tube is open to air flow or closed.
- a smoking article is provided with a hollow, elongated tube of a combustible, heat fusible and air impermeable material that extends from approximately 5 mm from the mouth end of the filter to approximately 10 mm short of the end of the tobacco segment.
- a cigarette according to an embodiment of the invention comprises a cylinder of smoking material or tobacco rod and a filter attached in end-to-end relationship to the cylinder of smoking material.
- the cylinder of smoking material has a hollow central tube of porous paper or other suitable material and tobacco filler between the hollow tube and an outer layer of cigarette wrapper paper.
- the filter element which is cylindrical in shape and substantially conforms to the cross- sectional size and shape of the cylinder of smoking material can be constructed with several segments.
- One segment of the filter element can comprise a hollow tube of material such as cellulose acetate material, which is aligned with and connected end- to-end with the cylinder of smoking material.
- a further segment of the filter element can comprise capsules of a flavor material, wherein the flavor material is released by thermal energy.
- the filter element can also include a solid cylindrical segment of a filtering material, such as cellulose acetate at the mouth (buccal) end of the filter element.
- the hollow central tube of porous or perforated material within the cylinder of smoking material is constructed to have the property of collapsing closed at one end when that end is heated by the burning coal of the cigarette.
- the tube extends within the cylinder of smoking material all the way from the filter element to the end of the cigarette opposite from the filter.
- the tobacco will combust as in a normal cigarette, generating smoke components and heat energy.
- the flow in the cigarette takes place in two regions, one through the tobacco bed contained between the hollow tube and the outer cigarette wrapper paper, and the other through the burning coal and the hollow tube.
- Fig. 1 is longitudinal cross-section of a cigarette according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic illustration showing the flow of air into the central hollow tube from the burning coal portion of a cigarette according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a hollow tube according to the invention.
- a smoking article 20 includes a filter portion 30 and a cylinder of smoking material or tobacco rod 40.
- the cylinder of smoking material 40 can include a central hollow tube 42, surrounded by tobacco filler material 44, and an outer layer of cigarette wrapper (paper) 24 that extends from the cylinder of smoking material over the filter section and joins the filter section 30 to the cylinder of smoking material 40 in end-to-end relationship.
- the central tube 42 within the cylinder of smoking material 40 preferably extends all the way to the end 42a of the cigarette opposite from the filter end of the cigarette.
- the end 42b of the tube 42 is preferably aligned with and abuts a hollow segment 32 of the filter portion 30.
- the hollow segment 32 of the filter 30 provides a central air passageway leading from the hollow tube 42 of the cylinder of smoking material to a segment 34 of the filter that preferably includes flavorant adapted to be released by exposure to thermal energy.
- the filter portion 30 also includes a mouthpiece filter portion 36 of filtering material such as cellulose acetate tow.
- the central hollow tube 42 of the cylinder smoking material 40 can be constructed such that heat applied to an end of the tube will cause the end portion of the tube to collapse upon itself and seal off (or close) the end of the tube.
- the collapsing feature can be achieved by a number of different embodiments of the hollow tube.
- the tube 42 can be constructed in a layered arrangement such that an outer or top layer 48 is made from a material having a higher thermal expansion coefficient than an inner or bottom layer 46.
- the layers of the hollow tube can be constructed from different types of paper having the different thermal expansion coefficients.
- the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the layers can be a result of the types of paper having different proportions of cellulose and/or different binders.
- the tube is made of an axially oriented polymer structure, which when heated will collapse.
- One of the materials that could be used is carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).
- CMC carboxymethylcellulose
- Another material that could be used is starch based film which has the property of collapsing when heated or burning.
- Another arrangement includes two layers of material having the same or different thermal expansion coefficient, with a coating applied to either or both layers, or an intermediate layer of an encapsulated material between the layers wherein the coating material or intermediate layer of encapsulated material will vaporize upon exposure to thermal energy from the burning coal, and the expanding vapor will cause the inner layer to collapse on itself and seal off the end of the hollow tube.
- the material from which the hollow tube is constructed can be selected not only for the feature of collapsing on itself upon exposure to the heat from the burning coal, but also such that is has a desired porosity to air.
- the porosity to air is preferably measured in CORESTA units (defined as the amount of air, measured in cubic centimeters, that passes through one square centimeter of material in one minute at a pressure drop of 1.0 kilopascals) as is known in the cigarette making industry, with the porosity preferably being greater than 10 CORESTA and less than 100 CORESTA.
- the material of the hollow tube can be perforated to achieve the desired CORESTA, allowing the flow of air through the wall of the tube as well as through the center, hollow portion of the tube.
- Thermal energy from the burning coal 50 can enter into the hollow tube 42 at or near the end that collapses closed as a result of the heat from the burning coal.
- air flow in the cigarette takes place in two regions, one through the annular bed of tobacco filler material 44 contained between the tube 42 and the outer cigarette wrapper 24, and the other through the burning coal 50 and the hollow tube 42. This air flow is illustrated by arrows 60 in Fig. 2.
- the resistance to flow and therefore pressure drop in the hollow portion of the tube 42 is extremely low compared to the pressure drop through the tobacco bed 44, the hot air coming out of the burning coal 50 flows most readily through the tube 42 and to the flavorant adapted to be released by exposure to thermal energy contained within segment 34 of the filter portion 30. As the cigarette is smoked the heat from the burning coal 50 progressively shrinks the end
- a cigarette according to the invention enhances delivery of flavorants from the flavor capsules contained within segment 34 of the filter as a result of the convective heat transfer of thermal energy from the burning coal 50 through the central tube 42.
