Die erfindungsgemäße Zigarette kann "angezündet" bzw. in Betrieb gesetzt werden, wie eine konventionelle Zigarette, indem sie mit einem Feuerzeug in Betrieb gesetzt wird. Die durch das Feuerzeug erzeugte Hitze bewirkt eine Verdampfung bzw. Lösung des im Genussmitteldepot abgelegten Genuss- mittels, beispielsweise Nikotin mit Aromastoffen, welches Genussmittel rasch genussbereit ist und intensiv genossen werden kann. Bei diesem Genuss fehlen die schädlichen Stoffe herkömmlichen Rauchens, wie Teer und Verbrennungsprodukte. Da kein Rauch in die Umgebung abgegeben wird, kommt es zu keinem Passivrauchen der in der Umgebung befindlichen Personen. Wenn die erfindungsgemäße rauchfreie Zigarette bei längerem Gebrauch abkühlt, ohne dass das Genussmittel aufgebraucht ist, kann sie in einfacher Weise durch erneutes "Anzünden" mit dem Feuerzeug rasch wieder in Betrieb gesetzt werden, so dass das Genussmittel aufgebraucht werden kann.With the invention, a possibility is created to maintain the subjective enjoyment components of conventional cigarette smoking and in particular to avoid the pollution of the environment associated with conventional smoking. The cigarette according to the invention can be "lit" or put into operation, like a conventional cigarette, by putting it into operation with a lighter. The heat generated by the lighter causes vaporization or dissolution of the pleasure substance stored in the luxury food depot, for example nicotine with flavoring substances, which luxury food is quickly enjoyable and can be enjoyed intensively. This enjoyment lacks the harmful substances of conventional smoking, such as tar and combustion products. Since no smoke is released into the environment, there is no passive smoking of the people in the area. If the smoke-free cigarette according to the invention cools with prolonged use without the stimulant being used up, it can be put back into operation in a simple manner by renewed "lighting" with the lighter so that the stimulant can be used up.

Im Abstand von der Hülse 34 ist der Adapter 14 mit einem Einsatzbauteil 38 ausgebildet, das beispielsweise zwei aufwärts geboge- ne Arme 40 (in Fig. 1 ist nur einer sichtbar) aufweist, die nicht zu einer vollständigen Hülse geschlossen sind, sondern federnd aufspreizbar sind.The cigarette body 12 forms together with the mouthpiece 10, for example, a dummy whose appearance corresponds to that of a conventional filter cigarette. The adapter 14, which is designed, for example, as a whole as a sheet metal part, has according to FIG. 1 on the left side a sleeve 34, which forms an insertion opening 36 for insertion of the FIG. 1 right end portion of the cigarette body 12. At a distance from the sleeve 34 of the adapter 14 is formed with an insert member 38, for example, two upwardly bent arms 40 (in Fig. 1 is only one visible), which are not closed to a complete sleeve, but are resiliently spreadable ,
Zwischen der Hülse 34 und dem Einsatzbauteil 38 ist ein Bimetallblech 42 ausgebildet, das bei normaler Zimmertemperatur die dargestellte etwa achsparallele Position einnimmt und bei Er- wärmung sich aufwärts biegt, so dass es die Hülse 34 verschließt.Between the sleeve 34 and the insert component 38, a bimetallic plate 42 is formed, which assumes the approximately paraxial position shown at normal room temperature and bends upward upon heating so that it closes the sleeve 34.
Ein an sich bekanntes Feuerzeug, wie es für eine erfindungsgemäße rauchfreie Zigarette verwendbar ist, ist in Fig. 2 skizziert und insgesamt mit 44 bezeichnet. Das Feuerzeug 44 weist einen Körper 46 auf, in dem Brennstoff, beispielsweise Flüssiggas, aufgenommen ist. In einem Ansatz 48 des Körpers 46 ist eine Brennerdüse angeordnet, der durch Luftdurchlässe 50 Luft zugeführt wird, so dass nach Anschalten des Feuerzeugs mittels einer Handhabe 52 eine spitze Flamme in Art der Flamme 54 aus dem Ansatz 48 vorschießt. Die Funktion der beschriebenen Bauteile ist folgende:A per se known lighter, as it is usable for a smoke-free cigarette according to the invention, is sketched in FIG. 2 and denoted overall by 44. The lighter 44 has a body 46 in which fuel, such as LPG, is received. In a projection 48 of the body 46, a burner nozzle is arranged, which is supplied through air passages 50 air, so that after switching on the lighter by means of a handle 52, a sharp flame in the manner of the flame 54 from the projection 48 advances. The function of the components described is the following:
Das Mundstück 10 wird auf der Innenseite der Aussparung 20 mit einem flüchtigen Genussmittel 58, beispielsweise mit Duft- und/oder Geschmacksstoffen versetztem Nikotin, beschichtet. Im Anlieferzustand ist das Mundstück 10 beispielsweise von einer Kunststofffolie umschlossen, so dass das Genussmittel 58 nicht abdampfen kann. Nach Entfernen der Kunststofffolie wird das Mundstück 10 auf den vorspringenden Bereich 28 des Zigarettenkörpers 12 aufgesteckt, so dass eine Baugruppe entsteht, die das Aussehen einer herkömmlichen Zigarette (Mundstück mit Zigarettenkörper) hat.The mouthpiece 10 is coated on the inside of the recess 20 with a volatile stimulant 58, for example nicotine mixed with fragrances and / or flavorings. In the delivery state, the mouthpiece 10 is enclosed for example by a plastic film, so that the stimulant 58 can not evaporate. After removal of the plastic film, the mouthpiece 10 is attached to the projecting portion 28 of the cigarette body 12, so that an assembly is formed, which has the appearance of a conventional cigarette (mouthpiece with cigarette body).
Zum "Anzünden" wird das gemäß Fig. 1 rechte Ende des Zigarettenkörpers 12 in die Einschuböffnung 36 des Adapters 14 eingeschoben. Anschließend wird der Adapter 14 mit seinem Einsatzbauteil 38 auf den Ansatz 48 des Feuerzeugs 44 aufgeschoben. Es versteht sich, dass der Adapter 14 zunächst auch auf das Feuerzeug 44 aufgeschoben werden kann und die Ziga- rette anschließend in die Einschuböffnung 36 eingeschoben wird. Die gegenseitigen Einschubbewegungen des Zigarettenkörpers 12 in die Hülse 34 sowie des Ansatzes 48 des Feuerzeugs in das Einsatzbauteil 38 sind vorteilhafterweise durch am Adapter 14 ausgebildete Anschläge begrenzt, so dass die geometrische Zuordnung von Feuerzeug zu Zigarettenkörper 12 und da- mit der Flamme 54 zum Wärmerohr 26 wohl definiert ist, wenn die Flamme 54 eine vorbestimmte Form hat. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Verformung des Bimetallblechs 42 auf die Erwärmung des Wärmerohrs 26 und damit auch der Erwärmung des Genussmittels 58 und der in der Hand gehaltenen Außenseite des Zigarettenkörpers 12 abstimmen, so dass - bei entsprechender Abstimmung der Wärmeleitfähigkeit des Zigarettenkörpers - dessen Außenfläche nur leicht erwärmt wird, obwohl das Genussmittel 58 sicher seine Lösungs- bzw. Verdampfungstemperatur von beispielsweise zwischen 50° und 6O0 C erreicht hat.For "lighting" the right end of the cigarette body 12 is inserted into the insertion opening 36 of the adapter 14 as shown in FIG. Subsequently, the adapter 14 is pushed with its insert member 38 on the lug 48 of the lighter 44. It is understood that the adapter 14 can initially also be pushed onto the lighter 44 and the cigarette Rescue is then inserted into the insertion opening 36. The mutual insertion movements of the cigarette body 12 into the sleeve 34 and the lug 48 of the lighter into the insert member 38 are advantageously limited by attacks formed on the adapter 14, so that the geometric assignment of lighter to cigarette body 12 and thus the flame 54 to the heat pipe 26th is well defined when the flame 54 has a predetermined shape. In this way, the deformation of the bimetal 42 on the heating of the heat pipe 26 and thus the heating of the stimulant 58 and held in the hand outside of the cigarette body 12 vote so that - with appropriate coordination of the thermal conductivity of the cigarette body - the outer surface only is slightly heated, although the stimulant 58 has safely reached its solution or evaporation temperature, for example, between 50 ° and 6O 0 C.
Mit der Handhabe 52 wird das Feuerzeug dann in Betrieb gesetzt, wodurch die Flamme 54 in die Aussparung 32 hinein reicht und der linke Endbereich des Wärmerohrs 26 erwärmt wird, so dass das Genussmittel 58 verdampft bzw. in die Lösung geht. Bei genügender Erwärmung des Wärmerohrs 26, d. h. ausreichender Dauer der Flamme 54, wird das Bimetallblech 42 erwärmt und richtet sich auf, so dass ein Raucher bzw. eine Raucherin, die das Mundstück 10 bereits mit den Lippen umschließt, das Feuerzeug 44 außer Betrieb setzen und abziehen kann.With the handle 52, the lighter is then put into operation, whereby the flame 54 extends into the recess 32 and the left end portion of the heat pipe 26 is heated, so that the stimulant 58 evaporates or goes into the solution. With sufficient warming of the heat pipe 26, d. H. sufficient duration of the flame 54, the bimetallic plate 42 is heated and straightened so that a smoker, who already encloses the mouthpiece 10 with his lips, the lighter 44 can put out of operation and deduct.
Die aus dem Mundstück 10 und dem Zigarettenkörper 12 bestehende Zigarette steht nach dem Abziehen des Adapters 14 wie eine übliche Zigarette für den Genuss zur Verfügung, da das Genussmittel 58 von dem Wärmerohr 26 in Folge dessen hoher Wärmekapazität über einen ausreichend langen Zeitraum auf einer zur Verdampfung ausreichenden Temperatur gehalten wird. Beim Einsaugen von Luft durch die Ansaugöffnung 18 hindurch strömt diese Luft durch das Wärmerohr 26 hindurch und dessen Durchgangsöffnung 30 längs der mit Genussmittel 58 beschichteten bzw. getränkten Oberflächenbereiche der Aussparung 20, so dass die Luft die verdampften Bestandteile und sonstigen flüchtigen Bestandteile des Genussmittels 58 aufnimmt, die im Mund oder durch Inhalation genossen werden können.The existing from the mouthpiece 10 and the cigarette body 12 cigarette is after removing the adapter 14 as a standard cigarette for the enjoyment available because the stimulant 58 of the heat pipe 26 as a result of its high heat capacity over a sufficiently long period on a for evaporation sufficient temperature is maintained. When air is drawn in through the suction opening 18, this air flows through the heat pipe 26 and its through-hole 30 along the surface areas of the recess 20 coated or soaked with stimulant 58, so that the air absorbs the evaporated constituents and other volatiles of the stimulant 58 that can be enjoyed in the mouth or by inhalation.
Die Dimensionierungen des Adapters 14 und der Einschublängen des Feuerzeugs in den Adapter einerseits und der Zigarette in den Adapter andererseits sind derart, dass die Spitze der Flamme 54 sich konzentrisch zum Wärmerohr 26 in kurzem Abstand von dessen gemäß Fig. 1 rechtsseitigem Ende befindet. Damit die Luftversorgung der Flamme durch den Adapter nicht gestört wird, ist das Einsatzbauteil 38 derart gestaltet, dass die Luftdurchlässe 50 im Wesentlichen frei bleiben. Die Flamme 54 befindet sich im Wesentlichen in dem Bereich zwischen der Hülse 34 und dem Einsatzbauteil 38.The dimensions of the adapter 14 and the insertion lengths of the lighter in the adapter on the one hand and the cigarette in the adapter on the other hand are such that the tip of the Flame 54 is concentric with the heat pipe 26 at a short distance from that shown in FIG. 1 right-hand end. Thus, the air supply of the flame is not disturbed by the adapter, the insert member 38 is designed such that the air passages 50 remain substantially free. The flame 54 is located substantially in the region between the sleeve 34 and the insert member 38.
Die Erfindung kann in vielfältiger Weise abgeändert werden. Beispielsweise muss das Mundstück 10 nicht zwingend Filtermaterial enthalten. Die Aussparung 20 kann im Zigarettenkörper 12 ausgebildet sein, so dass das Mundstück mit einem entsprechenden Vorsprung ausgebildet wird. Der Körper 24 und das Wärmerohr 26 können einteilig miteinander ausgebildet werden, indem der Mantel beispielsweise als Schichtkörper ausgebildet ist, der innen aus einem Material hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit mit möglichst hoher Wärmekapazität besteht und außen aus einem Material mit geringer Wärmeleitfähigkeit besteht. Alternativ kann der Körper 24 in Art eines Thermobehälters mehrschalig mit Vakuum zwischen den Schalen ausgebildet sein.The invention can be modified in many ways. For example, the mouthpiece 10 does not necessarily contain filter material. The recess 20 may be formed in the cigarette body 12, so that the mouthpiece is formed with a corresponding projection. The body 24 and the heat pipe 26 may be integrally formed with each other by the shell is formed, for example, as a laminated body, which consists of a material of high thermal conductivity with the highest possible heat capacity and outside of a material with low thermal conductivity. Alternatively, the body 24 may be multi-shelled with vacuum between the cups in the manner of a thermal container.
Das Wärmerohr 26 kann massiv als Wärmeleiter und Wärmespeicher mit hoher Wärmekapazität aus einem Material mit gutem Wärmeleitvermögen ausgebildet sein, wobei das gemäß Fig. 1 rechte Ende mit möglichst großer Oberfläche, beispielsweise durch Riffelung, ausgebildet ist. Ein Luftkanal ist in diesem Fall beispielsweise längs des Wärmeleiters wenigstens durch eine Nut im "Wärmestab" und/oder Mantel gebildet und führt längs Rippen in der Aussparung 20 und/oder dem vorstehenden Bereich des Wärmestabs in das Mundstück.The heat pipe 26 may be formed solid as a heat conductor and heat storage with high heat capacity of a material with good thermal conductivity, wherein the right in FIG. 1 end with the largest possible surface, for example by corrugation is formed. An air duct is formed in this case, for example along the heat conductor at least by a groove in the "heat bar" and / or jacket and leads along ribs in the recess 20 and / or the projecting portion of the heat bar in the mouthpiece.
Der Adapter kann auch anders aufgebaut sein, beispielsweise zum Anschluss des Zigarettenkörpers 12 an einen Zigarettenanzünder eines Kraftfahrzeugs geeignet sein. Der Adapter ent- hält dann ein beheiztes Bauteil, das in unmittelbare Berührung mit dem Wärmerohr 26 gelangt und durch Einschieben des Adapters in den Zigarettenanzünder solange aufgeheizt wird, bis das Wärmerohr 26 bzw. die Aussparung 20 genügend weit aufgeheizt sind, beispielsweise auf etwa 50° bis 60° C.The adapter can also be designed differently, for example, be suitable for connection of the cigarette body 12 to a cigarette lighter of a motor vehicle. The adapter then contains a heated component, which comes into direct contact with the heat pipe 26 and is heated by inserting the adapter into the cigarette lighter until the heat pipe 26 or the recess 20 are sufficiently heated, for example to about 50 ° up to 60 ° C
Anstelle des geschilderten Feuerzeugs kann jedwelches andere Feuerzeug verwendet werden, wobei Feuerzeuge mit langer Flamme bevorzugt sind. Als Zubehör kann ein speziell auf die erfindungsgemäße Zigarette abgestimmtes Feuerzeug angeboten werden, das mit vorbestimmter Flamme brennt und nach vorbestimmter Zeitdauer erlischt.Any other lighter may be used in place of the illustrated lighter, with long flame lighters being preferred. As an accessory, a special on the Cigarette lighter according to the invention are offered, which burns with a predetermined flame and goes out after a predetermined period of time.
Als Genussmittel können Flüssigkeiten oder Pulver verwendet werden, die in die Aussparung 20 eingebracht werden bzw. mit denen ein Teil des Mundstücks beschichtet oder getränkt wird. Je nach Geschmack der Konsumenten können unterschiedliche Genussmittel verwendet werden, beispielsweise mit Geschmacks- und Geruchsstoffen angereichertes Nikotin usw. Alternativ kann das Genussmittel in einem eigenen Genussmittelkörper enthalten sein, der als Tablette in die Aussparung eingesetzt wird, aber als Mantel die gesamte Aussparung ausklei- det. Es versteht sich, dass der als getrenntes Bauteil verfügbare Genussmittelträger porös oder mit Durchgangslöchern ausgebildet ist und zwischen dem eigentlichen Mundstück und den Luftaustrittsöffnungen des Wärmerohrs angeordnet ist. Insbesondere bei Einsatz solcher Genussmittelträger ist das eigentliche Mundstück wiederverwendbar, indem es aus einem hygienisch leicht zu reinigenden Material besteht.As a stimulant liquids or powders can be used, which are introduced into the recess 20 and with which a part of the mouthpiece is coated or impregnated. Depending on the taste of the consumer, different stimulants can be used, for example nicotine enriched with flavorings and odors. Alternatively, the stimulant can be contained in a separate stimulant body which is inserted into the recess as a tablet but covers the entire recess as a shell , It is understood that the stimulant carrier available as a separate component is porous or has through-holes and is arranged between the actual mouthpiece and the air outlet openings of the heat pipe. In particular, when using such stimulants the actual mouthpiece is reusable by it consists of a hygienic easy-to-clean material.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Aufsicht auf eine Schachtel 60, in der die erfindungsgemäße Zigarette in Art einer konventionellen Zigarettenpackung aufbewahrt werden kann. In einem Fach 62 kann der wiederverwendbare, in unterschiedlicher Hochwertigkeit ausgebildete Zigarettenkörper 12 aufbewahrt werden. Ein Fach 64 ist zur Aufnahme eines Adapters vorgesehen. Fächer 66 sind zur Aufnahme der zum einmaligen Gebrauch vorgesehenen, zunächst vorzugsweise versiegelten Mundstücke 10 vorgesehen. Im dargestellten Beispiel können in der Schachtel vierzehn Mundstücke 10 untergebracht werden. Die Mundstücke 10 werden im Handel oder an Automaten erworben und in die Schachtel 60 eingebracht. Die dargestellte Schachtel 60 entspricht somit einer herkömmlichen Schachtel mit vierzehn herkömmlichen Zigaretten. Die Wiederbefül- lung der Schachtel 60, die als hochwertige Schachtel mit einem nicht dargestellten Deckel ausgebildet sein kann, ist verhältnismäßig preiswert, da nur die Mundstücke 10 erneuert werden müssen.Fig. 3 shows a plan view of a box 60 in which the cigarette according to the invention can be stored in the manner of a conventional cigarette packet. In a compartment 62, the reusable, formed in different high quality cigarette body 12 can be stored. A compartment 64 is provided for receiving an adapter. Compartments 66 are provided for receiving the disposable, first preferably sealed, mouthpieces 10 for single use. In the example shown fourteen mouthpieces 10 can be accommodated in the box. The mouthpieces 10 are purchased commercially or on machines and placed in the box 60. The illustrated box 60 thus corresponds to a conventional box of fourteen conventional cigarettes. The refilling of the box 60, which may be formed as a high-quality box with a lid, not shown, is relatively inexpensive, since only the mouthpieces 10 must be renewed.
In einer abgeänderten Ausführungsform kann das Mundstück 10 wiederverwendbar konzipiert sein. Die Aussparung 20 wird dann wiederholt mit Genussmittel beschichtet, das vorteilhaft derart zusammengesetzt ist, dass es völlig rückstandsfrei aufgebraucht wird. BezugszeichenlisteIn a modified embodiment, the mouthpiece 10 may be designed to be reusable. The recess 20 is then repeatedly coated with semi-luxury agent, which is advantageously composed so that it is used up completely residue-free. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
