Description

Description
TABACCO
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a technology for redudng the number and amount of harmful substances generated in the repetitive and complex combustion process of natural tobacco and maintaining and improving taste and odor of the tobacco by allowing mainstream smoke generated in the combustion process of a tobacco material during smoking to pass through a porous non-combustible material installed inside(or outside) the tobacco material without directly passing through the tobacco material. Background Art
[2] In general, tobaccos(or smoking products) on the market are different according to brands and manufacturers. Tobaccos manufactured by using shredded tobacco materials and tobacco papers(or tobacco leaves) are classified into cigarettes, pipe tobaccos, and cigars. In addition, there are special sniffing tobaccos and chewing tobaccos. Additives such as sugar and coooa are used in tobaccos to reinforce the natural tastes and odors of the tobaccos or glycerin or moisture are added to the tobaccos to properly maintain moisturization after the tobaccos are manufactured and packed. A third range of substances added to tobacco materials to obtain the natural tastes and odors of tobaccos cause more complex chemical combustion reactions and thereby various kinds of harmful substances, and reduce the natural tastes and odors of the tobaccos.
[3] In recent years, many medical studies and evidence on harmful effects of tobaccos on human beings are being reported. According to a series of reports, the number of harmful substances generated during smoking is approximately 4,000. The harmful substances mainly include nicotine(C H N , alkaloid contained in tobaccos),
10 14 2 tar(earthy brown material generated in thermal decomposition of organic compounds), carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and nitrogen cyanide. The tar consists of more than 200 compounds and is most harmful. According to recent epidemiological investigations, the tar directly causes eight kinds of cancers such as lung cancer, oral cavity carcinoma, pharynx cancer, pancreas cancer, laryngeal cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. In addition, it is reported that the tar causes other various diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, asthma, respiratory disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatic heart disease, hypertension, pulmonary heart disease, strokes, arteriosclerosis, car- diovascular disease, low birth weight babies, RDS respiratory distress syndrome, and sudden infant death syndrome.
[4] As mentioned above, it is reported that direct and indirect damage of smoking to human health and the social cost due to the damage are considerable. Therefore, tobacco manufacturers all over the world are conducting research and development to reduce the direct and indirect damage and danger factors of smoking. The health authorities of nations are launching anti-smoking campaigns and are managing various regulations, but the measures are not actually working.
[5] Various patent technologies on tobaccos and their manufacturing methods for reducing their danger factors are currently well known worldwide. Several such patent technologies are as follows. Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 19860002239 suggests that precious metals such as platinum and palladium, active metals such as silver, nickel, vanadium, copper, and steel, and compounds of them may be added to leaf tobaccos or shredded leaf tobaccos to reduce harmful substances. Korean Patent No. 0196012 suggests that a triple filter including an absorption material layer in which zeolite or active carbon is filled and an intermediate layer having an acetate filter(or paper filter) may be used to obtain tobacco tastes that are natural and rich and are not strong even when low-uality tobaccos that are conventionally 10% of the total used reach up to 20 to 40 % of the total shoots are used. Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 1988-0007018 suggests that fuel components containing aerosol forming materials are burned in a plurality of lengthwise passages to generate aerosol similar to smoke. In addition, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,934,289, 6,053,176, 5,499,636, 5,388,594, 5,179,966, 5,249,586, and 5,33,953 suggest tobacco filters and smoking supplementing tools that improve tastes of tobaccos by directly and indirectly electrically heating the tobaccos and reducing harmful substances. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,105,838, 5,592,955, 5,709,955, and 6,904,918 suggest that insulating materials may be installed outside smoking materials and paper materials wrapping cigarettes or tobacco papers are dually or triply wrapped on cigarettes.
[6] The well-known patent technologies on tobaccos mostly relate to addition of third substances or tobacco filters for reducing harmful substances, but there is no report on employment or validity of them. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[7] In general, in the case of conventional tobaccos(dgarettes, cigars, and tobaccos for pipes), almost all mainstream smoke generated in the combustion process of tobacco materials during smoking passes through unburned tobacco materials to be sirked. As sirh, a considerable amount of harmful substances contained in the mainstream smoke are sucked into and reside in unburned tobacco materials. Unlike the combustion processes of a candle or incense, due to continuous smoking, the unburned tobacco materials are burned again, causing more complex and repetitive chemical reactions (thermal depositions, evaporations, and syntheses). In this process, it is expected that the tobaccos increase the number of compounds and produce more harmful and complex compounds. There is no detailed report on the number and types of compounds, but the taste and order of a tobacco at the initial stage of smoking(one to three times of suctions) are different from those of a tobacco when the tobacco is smoked to at least a middle portion thereof.
[8] Unlike the conventional tobacco products and patent technologies, according to the present invention, a porous non-combustible material is installed inside or outside shredded tobacco materials using tobacco materials and tobacco paper(or tobacco leaf) to redire complex harmful substances generated in the repetitive and complex combustion processes of tobaccos. The present invention enables reduction of repetitive combustion reactions of harmful substances generated during smoking and absorption of harmful substances contained in mainstream smoke into a porous non- combustible material, thereby redudng the number and amount of harmful substances absorbed into human bodies and maintaining or improving the taste and odor of a natural tobacco. Technical Solution
[9] In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by the provision of a cylindrical cigarette ranging from 5 to 8 mm, wherein shredded tobacco materials are wound so as to have a rod- like shape using tobacco paper, the tip end of the cigarette in the suction direction is blocked, tobacco paper is wound again so that a porous non-combustible material is located outside the tobacco paper winding the tobacco materials in a rod-like shape, whereby mainstream smoke generated when the tobacco materials and the inner tobacco paper are burned during smoking does not pass through the unburned tobacco material and passes through the porous non-combustible material so as to be sirked.
[10] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a cylindrical cigarette ranging from 5 to 8 mm, wherein shredded tobacco materials are wound so as to have a pipe-like shape using tobacco paper, the tip end of the cigarette in the suction direction is blocked, tobacco paper is wound again so that a porous non- combustible material is located inside the inner tobacco paper winding the tobacco materials in a pipe-like shape, whereby mainstream smoke generated when the tobacco materials and the inner tobacco paper are burned during smoking does not pass through the unburned tobacco material and passes through the porous non-combustible material so as to be sucked.
[11] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm, wherein shredded tobacco materials are wound to have a rod-like shape using tobacco paper, the tip end of the cigarette in the suction direction is blocked in a U-like shape, a porous non-combustible material is located outside the cigar wound in a U-like shape, and a cigar is wound outside the porous non-combustible material, whereby mainstream smoke generated when the shredded tobacco materials and the cigar are burned during smoking does not pass through the unburned tobacco material and passes through the porous non-combustible material so as to be sucked.
[12] In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm, wherein shredded tobacco materials are wound to have a rod-like shape using tobacco paper, the tip end of the cigarette in the suction direction is blocked in a U-like shape, a porous non-combustible material is located inside the cigar wound in a U-like shape, whereby mainstream smoke generated when the shredded tobacco materials and the cigar are burned during smoking does not pass through the unburned tobacco material and passes through the porous non-combustible material so as to be sucked.

[35] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to and in comparison with various conventional tobacco prodirts(άgarettes, cigars, and cigarettes for pipes).
[36] FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a partially cutaway view, an A-A cross-sectional view, and a longitudinal sectional view of a cigarette 1. A cigarette filter 2 is attached to the cigarette 1 and a porous non-combustible material 3 is cylindrically installed outside shredded tobacco materials 5. Inner tobacco paper 8 installed between the shredded tobacco materials 5 and the porous combustible material 3 is essentially made of a material that can be burned together with the shredded tobacco materials 5.

The inner tobacco paper 8 may be made of the same material as that of outer tobacco paper 7, but it is important to properly select the material so as not to generate substances harmful to human beings during smoking. The inner tobacco paper 8 preferably has a material and a thickness suitable for combustion at the same rate as that of the shredded tobacco materials. The porous non-combustible material 3 is powder(or fiber) for easily absorbing nicotine 13 or tar 14 generated during smoking. The size of the porous non-combustible material 3 is preferably 10 to 150/M. The porous non-combustible material 3 may be bonded to the inner and outer tobacco paper 8 and 7 using a suitable adhesive such as paste, but is preferably manufactured of a sintered material after compressing (or extruding) the porous non-combustible material 3 without using an adhesive.
[37] In the embodiment of the present invention, the porous non-combustible material is made of powder or fiber consisting of at least one of or a composition obtained by mixing two or more of commercial pure metals (Ag, Au, Pt, Fe, Ni, Si, Al, Mg, Cu, Ti, Mn, Cr, V, Mo, Nb, Sr, Zr, Ba, W, and Zn), alloys of them, metal oxides (Al O , MgO, SiO , Fe O , TiO , CaO, MnO, CuO, Y O , Ba O , La O , CeO , Nd O , Sm O , Pr O ,
2 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 and CuO), zeolite, loess, and charcoal. It is important that the porous non-combustible material 3 is manufactured and installed in consideration of porosity and cross-section ration between the shredded tobacco materials 5 and the porous non-combustible material 3 so that mainstream smoke can smoothly pass through the cigarette filter 2 so as to be sucked.
[38] FIG. 4 illustrates a material flow state during smoking of the cigarette ranging from 5 to 8 mm in which a porous non-combustible material is installed outside shredded tobacco materials according to the embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the mainstream smoke 15 generated during smoking does not pass through the shredded tobacco materials that are not burned and is sucked through the pores of the porous non-combustible material 3 installed outside the shredded tobacco materials 5 and cigarette filter 2. The combustion process eliminates repetitive combustion processes of harmful substances contained in the mainstream smoke 15 and adheres the harmful substances to the porous non-combustible material 3, so that the number and amount of harmful substances sucked into the body of a smoker and harmful substance such as nicotine 13 and tar 14 contained in sidestream smoke may be partially absorbed.
[39] FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrate a cigarette Ia ranging from 5 to 8 mm. The cigarette Ia may use the same shredded tobacco materials 5, inner and outer tobacco paper 8 and 7, and porous non-combustible material 3 as those of the cigarette 1, but the porous non- combustible material 3 is installed inside the shredded tobacco materials 5 in an opposite way to the cigarette 1. A tip end portion 8a in the direction of sirtion is tightly sealed so that mainstream smoke 15 does not pass through the unburned shredded tobacco material 5 but passes through the porous non-combustible material 3 installed at the center of the cigarette Ia. As illustrated in FIG. 6, it is also important that the porous non-combustible material 3 is manufactured and installed in consideration of porosity and cross-section ration between the shredded tobacco materials 5 and the porous non-combustible material 3 so that mainstream smoke 15 can smoothly pass through the cigarette filter 2 so as to be sirked.
[40] FIGS. 9 and 10 are a partially cutaway view and a C-C cross-sectional view of a cigarette 20 for a pipe that ranges from 8 to 25 mm and can be used in a conventional cigarette pipe. The cigarette 20 for a pipe may use the same shredded tobacco materials 5, porous non-combustible material 3, outer tobacco paper 7, and inner tobacco paper 8 as those of the cigarettes 1 and Ia ranging from 5 to 8 mm and has the same internal structure as those of the cigarettes 1 and Ia. FIGS. 1 Ia and 1 Ib are longitudinal sectional views of a cigarette for a pipe that ranges from 8 to 25 mm in which a porous non-combustible material 3 is installed outside(or inside) of shredded tobacco material 5 and in which a cigarette filter 2 is attached to a tip end portion in the direction of suction according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIGS. 12a and 12b, in contrast to FIGS. 1 Ia and 1 Ib, a cigarette filter 2 is not attached to a tip end portion in the suction direction and only a porous non-combustible material is installed outside(or inside) shredded tobacco materials 5, thereby increasing smoking effect. When a cigarette 20 for a pipe that ranges from 8 to 25 mm is manufactured, the length 35(including a filter) of the cigarette is preferably limited to 15 to 70 mm. FIG. 13 is a view illustrating a material flow state during smoking of the cigarette for a pipe that ranges from 5 to 25 mm in which a porous non-combustible material is installed inside shredded tobacco materials according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[41] FIG. 14 is a view illustrating a material flow state during smoking of the cigarette 1 for a pipe that ranges from 5 to 8 mm and a cigarette 20 for a pipe that ranges from 8 to 25 mm in which a fiber porous non-combustible material 45 is used instead of a powder porous non-combustible material 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The fiber porous non-combustible material 45 may be wound in a rod- like shape to be used inside the shredded tobacco material 5 and may be dually and triply folded in consideration of porosity.
[42] FIGS. 15 to 19 are a partially cutaway view, a longitudinal sectional view, and a partial cross-sectional view of a cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm. The cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm has a similar stricture to the cigarette 1 ranging 5 to 8 mm that is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 7 and uses the same materials as those of the shredded tobacco materials 5 and the porous non-combustible material 3, but uses tobacco leaves 48 and 47 instead of the tobacco paper 7 and 8 of the cigarette 1. FIG. 15 illustrates the cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm according to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the shredded tobacco materials 5 and the porous non-combustible material 3 are wrapped using the inner tobacco leaf 48 and the outer tobacco leaf 47. As illustrate in FIG. 19a, a tip end portion 48a in the direction of suction is sealed in a U-like shape using the inner tobacco leaf 48 so that the shredded tobacco materials 5 are located at the center of the cigar. The porous non-combustible material 3 is filled outside the inner tobacco leaf 48 and is wrapped by the outer tobacco leaf 47 again. Unlike in FIG. 19a, the shredded tobacco materials 5 are wrapped in a pipe-like shape using an inner tobacco leaf 48 so that the porous non-combustible material 3 is located at the center of the cigar. The shredded tobacco materials 5 are filled outside the porous non- combustible material 3 and are wrapped by the outer tobacco leaf 47 again. In particular, a tip end portion 48b in the direction of suction is firmly bonded by an adhesive so that mainstream smoke does not pass through the shredded tobacco materials 5 but passes through the central porous noncombustible material 3.
[43] FIG. 20 is a longitudinal view illustrating a pipe for a cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm in which pipes 50a and 50b for a cigar are attached to the tip end in the direction of suction. In FIG. 20a, the pipe 50a for a cigar is attached to the tip end of the cigar in the direction of suction. A connecting portion 49a between the outer tobacco leaf 47 and the pipe 50a for a dgar is manufactured by firmly and tightly bonding to the pipe 50a so that air cannot be sucked from outside. In FIG. 20b, the pipe 50b for a cigar ranging from 8 to 25 mm is attached to the tip end of the cigar in the direction of suction. It is important that the inner and outer tobacco leaves 48 and 47 and the connecting portion 49b of the pipe 50b for a cigar are not separated from each other during smoking so that mainstream smoke cannot be sucked or air cannot permeate into the pipe 50b. The pipes 50a and 50b for a dgar are preferably made of wood or plastic that is not harmful to human bodies.
[44] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appredate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
