Definitions
- the present invention relates to rods comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material for use in smoking articles, smoking articles comprising such rods and methods for forming such rods.
- US-A-4,000,748 discloses a process and apparatus for shredding a sheet of reconstituted tobacco into strips and crimping the resultant strips in a substantially simultaneous operation.
- the sheet of tobacco material is moved between a pair of rotating and intermeshing stacks of disks which shred the sheet into a plurality of strips about 0.65 to 1.55 mm in width.
- the forward motion of the resultant strips is retarded by engagement with facing surfaces of neighbouring disks causing a buckling of the strips into a crimped configuration.
- the crimped strips are reported to provide an increase in fill value.
- US-A-4,598,721 discloses a method and apparatus for producing crimped fibre pieces of reconstituted tobacco. Tobacco dust and/or tobacco waste is processed with binders and possibly additives to a plastifiable mixture that is extruded through a special die head to obtain individual filiform crimped intermediate products, which are then separated into individual crimped fibre pieces.
- the crimped fibre pieces should have a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 mm, a width of 0.4 to 3 mm and a stretched length of 5 to 40 mm.
- US-A-4,889, 143 discloses cigarette rods having a plurality of substantially longitudinally extending strands provided from shredded sheet-like reconstituted tobacco material which are contained in a circumscribing wrapping material. Strips of sheet-like reconstituted tobacco material are shredded into a plurality of strands which are gathered into a rod-like shape and circumscribed by a paper wrap in order to form a continuous rod. The continuous rod is then severed at regular intervals to provide a plurality of rods of the desired length. To control the pressure drop of the cigarette rod, strands having a crimped character may be produced and positioned in a longitudinally extending manner such that air can flow longitudinally through the rod in the spaces between the strands.
- Strands travelling through the rod-forming means at a slightly lesser speed than that speed at which the strands leave the shredding means can tend to provide crimped strands, that is somewhat bent, wrinkled, wavy or sinusoidal shaped strands, capable of providing increased quantity of material per unit length of rod section.
- rods for smoking articles comprising crimped or uncrimped shreds of tobacco material suffers from a number of disadvantages including those discussed below.
- shredding tobacco material undesirably generates tobacco fines and other waste.
- rods comprising shreds of tobacco material exhibit 'loose ends', that is the loss of shreds of tobacco material from the ends of the rod. This is exacerbated by breakage of the shreds of tobacco material during rod formation. Loose ends are not only aesthetically undesirable, but can also disadvantageously lead to the need for more frequent cleaning of manufacturing equipment and smoking devices.
- rods comprising shreds of tobacco material exhibit high weight standard deviations, that is rods of the same dimensions tend to be of inconsistent weight. This is due in part to the tendency of the rods to exhibit loose ends as mentioned above.
- the high weight standard deviation of rods comprising shreds of tobacco material leads to an undesirably high rejection rate of rods whose weight falls outside of a selected acceptance range.
- rods comprising shreds of tobacco material exhibit non-uniform densities, that is, the density along the length of the rod tends to be inconsistent. This is due to variations in the quantity of tobacco material at different locations along the rod, which results in 'voids', that is reduced quantities of tobacco material, and 'pads', that is increased levels of tobacco material.
- the nonuniform density of rods comprising shreds of tobacco material can undesirably affect the resistance to draw (RTD) of the rods.
- RTD resistance to draw
- the non-uniform density of rods comprising shreds of tobacco material can lead to loose ends when a void is located at the end of the rod.
- Rods of short length are sometimes referred to as plugs.
- rods comprising tobacco material for use in smoking articles that exhibit fewer loose ends than rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- rods comprising tobacco material for use in smoking articles that exhibit lower weight standard deviations than rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- rods comprising tobacco material for use in smoking articles that exhibit more uniform densities than rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- a rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material comprising one or more aerosol-formers circumscribed by a wrapper, wherein the sheet of homogenised tobacco material has an aerosol former content of greater than 5% on a dry weight basis.
- a rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material comprising one or more aerosol-formers circumscribed by a wrapper, wherein the sheet of homogenised tobacco material has an aerosol former content of between 5% and 30% by weight on a dry weight basis.
- a rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper and a continuous element to which one or more additives have been applied, wherein the continuous element is incorporated into the gathered continuous sheet of homogenised tobacco material.
- a heated smoking article comprising an aerosol-generating substrate, wherein the aerosol-generating substrate comprises a rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper.
- 'rod' is used to denote a generally cylindrical element of substantially circular, oval or elliptical cross-section.
- 'sheet' denotes a laminar element having a width and length substantially greater than the thickness thereof.
- the term 'length' denotes the dimension in the direction of the cylindrical axis of rods according to the invention.
- the term 'width' denotes a dimension in a direction substantially perpendicular to the cylindrical axis of rods according to the invention.
- the term 'homogenised tobacco material' denotes a material formed by agglomerating particulate tobacco.
- the term 'gathered' denotes that the sheet of homogenised tobacco material is convoluted, folded, or otherwise compressed or constricted substantially transversely to the cylindrical axis of the rod.
- rods according to the invention' also refers to rods in heated smoking articles according to the invention.
- the gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material preferably extends along substantially the entire length of the rod and across substantially the entire transverse cross-sectional area of the rod.
- a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material in rods according to the invention advantageously significantly reduces the risk of loose ends compared to rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- Rods comprising a sheet of homogenised tobacco material according to the invention advantageously exhibit significantly lower weight standard deviations than rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- the weight of a rod according to the invention of a particular length is determined by the density, width and thickness of the sheet of homogenised tobacco material that is gathered to form the rod.
- the weight of rods according to the invention of a particular length can thus be regulated by controlling the density and dimensions of the sheet of homogenised tobacco material. This reduces inconsistencies in weight between rods according to the invention of the same dimensions, and so results in lower rejection rate of rods whose weight falls outside of a selected acceptance range.
- Rods comprising a sheet of homogenised tobacco material according to the invention advantageously exhibit more uniform densities than rods comprising shreds of tobacco material.
- rods according to the invention comprise a gathered textured sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper.
- Use of a textured sheet of homogenised tobacco material may advantageously facilitate gathering of the sheet of homogenised tobacco material to form a rod according to the invention.
- Textured sheets of homogenised tobacco material for use in the invention may comprise a plurality of spaced-apart indentations, protrusions, perforations or a combination thereof.
- rods according to the invention comprise a gathered crimped sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper.
- the term 'crimped sheet' is intended to be synonymous with the term 'creped sheet' and denotes a sheet having a plurality of substantially parallel ridges or corrugations.
- the crimped sheet of homogenised tobacco material has a plurality of ridges or corrugations substantially parallel to the cylindrical axis of the rod according to the invention. This advantageously facilitates gathering of the crimped sheet of homogenised tobacco material to form the rod.
- crimped sheets of homogenised tobacco material for use in the invention may alternatively or in addition have a plurality of substantially parallel ridges or corrugations disposed at an acute or obtuse angle to the cylindrical axis of the rod.
- sheets of homogenised tobacco material for use in the invention may be substantially evenly textured over substantially their entire surface.
- crimped sheets of homogenised tobacco material for use in the invention may comprise a plurality of substantially parallel ridges or corrugations that are substantially evenly spaced-apart across the width of the sheet.

- rods according to the invention may be used as rods of combustible smokable material in lit-end cigarettes comprising a rod of combustible smokable material and a filter downstream of the rod of combustible smokable material.
- the terms 'upstream' and 'downstream' are used to describe the relative positions of components, or portions of components, of smoking articles comprising rods according to the invention in relation to the direction of air drawn through the smoking articles during use thereof.
- an aerosol is generated by the transfer of heat from a heat source, for example a chemical, electrical or combustible heat source, to a physically separate aerosol-generating substrate, which may be located within, around or downstream of the heat source.
- a heat source for example a chemical, electrical or combustible heat source
- an aerosol-generating substrate for a heated smoking article wherein the aerosol-generating substrate comprises a rod according to the invention.
- the term 'aerosol-generating substrate' denotes a substrate capable of releasing volatile compounds upon heating to generate an aerosol.
- Rods according to the invention are particularly suited for use as aerosol-generating substrates in heated smoking articles. Aerosol-generating substrates in heated smoking articles are typically significantly shorter in length than rods of combustible smokable material in conventional lit end smoking articles. As noted above, loose ends, high weight standard deviations and non-uniform densities as exhibited by rods comprising shreds of tobacco material are particularly undesirable in rods of short length.
- Use of short rods according to the invention as aerosol-generating substrates in heated smoking articles advantageously minimises or avoids one or more of the disadvantages associated with the use of short rods comprising shreds of tobacco material previously discussed above.
