Description

Filter for smoking article
Description
This invention relates to a filter for smoking article.
As used herein, the term "smoking article" includes smokeable products such as cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos whether based on tobacco, tobacco derivatives, expanded tobacco, reconstituted tobacco or tobacco substitutes and also heat- not-burn products. The smoking article may be provided with a filter for the gaseous flow drawn by the smoker
It is known to provide a flavourant in tobacco used in a smoking article such as a cigarette to provide a distinctive flavour for the smoker. For example, tobacco in a cigarette may be flavoured with menthol or other regulatory approved flavourants to flavour the gaseous flow inhaled by the smoker.
The present invention provides an alternative approach for flavouring a smoking article that has a filter.
According to the present invention there is provided a filter for a smoking article, comprising a plug of filter material and wrapping held by an adhesive to the periphery of the filter material, wherein the adhesive contains a smoking article flavourant.
The flavourant may be naturally coloured such as to provide visually discernable portions in the filter thereby differentiating the smoking article with a unique appearance.
The wrapping may comprise a sheet material to which the adhesive has been applied in a predetermined pattern, the sheet material being wrapped around the filter material. The plug of filter material may have a generally cylindrical periphery along which the adhesive material is arranged in stripes.
The plug of filter material may have an end surface with a generally circular perimeter and the stripes may be configured to provide visually discernable portions spaced around the perimeter of the end surface. The visually discernable portions may present a castellated pattern around the perimeter of the circular end surface.
The adhesive material may comprise PVA and the naturally coloured flavourant may comprise a brand-distinctive flavourant.
The flavourant may be a tobacco flavourant and may comprise but is not restricted to at least one extract (e.g., liquorice, cocoa, hydrangea, Japanese white bark magnolia leaf, chamomile, fenugreek, clove, menthol, Japanese mint, aniseed, cinnamon, herb, wintergreen, cherry, berry, peach, apple, Dramboui, bourbon, scotch, whiskey, spearmint, peppermint, lavender, cardamom, celery, cascarilla, nutmeg, sandalwood, bergamot, geranium, honey essence, rose oil, vanilla, lemon oil, orange oil, cassia, caraway, cognac, jasmine, ylang-ylang, sage, fennel, piment, ginger, anise, coriander, coffee, or a mint oil from any species of the genus Mentha), flavour masking agents, bitterness receptor site blockers, receptor site enhancers, sweeteners (e.g., sucralose, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, saccharine, cyclamates, lactose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, sorbitol, or mannitol), and other additives such as aroma pyrazines, chlorophyll, minerals, botanicals, or breath freshening agents. They may be imitation, synthetic or natural ingredients or blends thereof. They may be in any suitable form, for example, oil, liquid, or powder.
A colouring additive such as charcoal may be added to the adhesive. Thus, for example when the filter material comprises fibrous cellulose acetate, the charcoal provides visually distinctive adhesive containing portions in the filter. The wrapping may comprise a plug wrap for the filter material.
The invention also includes a smoking article such as a cigarette including the filter. The cigarette may include a rod of smokeable material such as tobacco attached to the filter by tipping paper and the adhesive that contains the flavourant may be applied to the tipping paper.
In order that the invention may be more fully understood, an embodiment thereof will now be described by way of illustrative example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the cigarette;
Figure 2 is an end view of the cigarette taken in the direction of arrow A of
Figure 1; Figure 3 is a partially exploded perspective view of the cigarette shown in
Figures 1 and 2;
Figure 4 illustrates a process for preparing a plug wrap for use in a filter according to the invention; and
Figure 5 illustrates in perspective the wrapping of plug wrap around filter material to create a filter according to the invention.
Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, a smoking article in the form of a cigarette includes a filter in accordance with the invention. The cigarette comprises a generally cylindrical paper-wrapped tobacco rod 1 which is co-axially attached to a cylindrical filter 2 by tipping paper 3 that is glued around one end of the rod 1 and the filter 2. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the filter 2 comprises a generally cylindrical tow of filter material 4 such as fibrous cellulose acetate. The filter material 4 is provided with a wrapping 5 of sheet material in the form of a plugwrap, to which stripes 6 of adhesive material have been applied, so that the plug wrap 5 is held in place by the adhesive 6 upon wrapping of the plugwrap around the filter material 4. - A -
The manufacture of a length of filter 2 is illustrated in Figures 4 and 5. Referring to Figure 4, a planar sheet of plug wrap 5 passes through a gluing station 7 in the direction of arrow B, at which nozzles 8 apply the stripes of adhesive 6 in parallel, longitudinally along the plug wrap.
Referring to Figure 5, the plug wrap 5 and a generally cylindrical tow of the filter material 4 are fed to a wrapping station 9 in the direction of arrow C, where the plugwrap is wrapped around the filter material 4 and glued by a gluing nozzle 10 so that the plug wrap completely encompasses the filter material 4 and forms a generally cylindrical length 11 of filter in accordance with the invention. The resulting filter is then cut into length suitable for individual cigarettes as illustrated schematically in dotted outline 2 of Figure 5.
As illustrated in Figure 4, the adhesive for the stripes 6 is applied through the nozzles 8 from tank 13. The adhesive may comprise a conventional PVA material which additionally includes a flavourant for flavouring the tobacco smoke of the cigarette. The flavourant may be naturally coloured with the result that visually discernable portions of the adhesive 6 are visible in end face 13 of the filter shown in Figures 2 and 3. The adhesive portion 6 provides a regular pattern of castellations around the perimeter of the circular end surface of the filter 2, thus providing the cigarette with a distinctive appearance. It will be appreciated that the number of stripes of adhesive 9 applied to plug wrap 5 can be varied so as to produce different numbers of castellations around the perimeter of the end surface.
The added flavourant can comprise a substance or composition that has been approved for use within tobacco of a cigarette, such as menthol, liquorice, caramel or one of the flavourants listed above.
In use, smoke from the burning tobacco rod 1 is drawn through the filter so as to pass the adhesive stripes 6 and thereby give flavour to the tobacco smoke for the user. It will be appreciated that the adhesive stripes 6 may include a mixture of different flavourings, for example a brand-distinctive flavour mixture in order to provide brand recognition for the smoker.
Additionally, the adhesive stripes 6 may include a material approved for use in cigarettes to act as a colouring agent and so improve the visibility of the pattern of the stripes in the end surface 13. For example, in a generally white cellulose acetate filter rod an adhesive stripe coloured with liquorice (black) could be used. Alternatively, a filter rod formed substantially of carbon paper would present a dark appearance, particularly when used in conjunction with carbon tipping paper. In such a case, cream coloured vanilla adhesive stripes could be applied to produce the desired effect. In cases where the adhesive stripes are lighter in colour than the surrounding material, it may be preferable to use an adhesive agent which does not migrate into the surrounding material, such as a hot melt adhesive.
In an alternative configuration, the adhesive stripes may be applied to the tipping paper 3 on its inside, where it attaches to the plug wrap 5, to provide the flavourant and also the distinctive pattern. Where the flavourant for the article is exclusively contained in adhesive stripes located on the tipping paper, it will be appreciated that flavourants which are capable of migrating out of the adhesive and into the surrounding material, such as menthol, may be preferred. Alternatively, modifications to, e.g., ventilation may be made to ensure flavour delivery during use. Also, the filter material 4 itself may be coloured. Such colouring may be achieved with a naturally coloured flavourant different from that used in the adhesive region 6, or with a non-flavoured colourant.
It will be appreciated that the pattern of adhesive regions 6 may be modified somewhat so as to produce for example semicircular or other distinctive shapes, rather than the castellations shown in Figures 2 and 3. The invention also includes further modifications and variations falling within the scope of the claims hereinafter.
