Description
この点、穿孔がフィルタシガレットの製造過程にて形成されれば、穿孔はチップペーパを貫通してフィルタ内に延びることができ、また、穿孔のサイズをも変更可能となるので、上述の通気量の調整が容易となる。
チップペーパの裏面には全域に糊が塗布されているので、この裏面はシガレット及びフィルタの双方に対する接着面として形成されている。このため、穿孔がレーザ光の照射によりチップペーパを貫通してフィルタ内に形成されれば、レーザ光の照射は糊、チップペーパ及びフィルタ材から燃焼生成物(灰)を発生させ、このような燃焼生成物は接着性を有した粉塵となって周囲に飛散する。
シガレット、フィルタ及び糊が塗布されたチップペーパをそれぞれ受け取り、前記シガレットに前記チップペーパを介してフィルタを取付けて、フィルタシガレットを製造するフィルタ取付装置と、
前記フィルタ取付装置から前記フィルタシガレットが移送される過程にて、前記フィルタシガレットの前記チップペーパにレーザ光を照射し、前記フィルタに少なくとも1つの穿孔を形成するレーザ穿孔装置であって、前記穿孔が前記チップペーパを貫通して前記フィルタ内に延びる、レーザ穿孔装置と、
前記フィルタ取付装置に前記チップペーパを供給する過程にて、前記チップペーパの裏面に糊層を形成し、前記シガレット及び前記フィルタに対する前記糊の接着面を提供する糊層形成装置と
を具備し、
前記糊層形成装置は、前記チップペーパの裏面にて、前記穿孔が形成されるべき領域を接着性の無い非接着域として形成する構成を含む。
また、製造機の機械要素上に粉塵が堆積しても、これら堆積した粉塵の除去もまた容易である。
更に、本発明はフィルタシガレットの製造方法及びフィルタシガレットをも提供し、これら製造方法及びフィルタシガレットの詳細は以下の通りである。
シガレット、フィルタ及び糊が塗布されたチップペーパをそれぞれ受け取り、前記シガレットに前記チップペーパを介してフィルタを取付けて、フィルタシガレットを製造するフィルタ取付工程と、
前記フィルタ取付工程から前記フィルタシガレットが後段のステージに向けて移送される過程にて、前記フィルタシガレットの前記チップペーパにレーザ光を照射し、前記フィルタに少なくとも1つの穿孔を形成するレーザ穿孔工程であって、前記穿孔が前記チップペーパを貫通して前記フィルタ内に延びる、レーザ穿孔工程と、
前記フィルタ取付工程に向けて前記チップペーパを供給する過程にて、前記チップペーパの裏面に糊層を形成し、前記シガレット及び前記フィルタに対する接着面を提供する糊層形成工程と
を具備し、
前記糊層形成工程は、前記チップペーパの裏面にて、前記穿孔が形成されるべき領域を接着性の無い非接着域として形成する手順を含む。
シガレットと、
前記シガレットの一端に隣接して配置されたフィルタと、
前記シガレット及び前記フィルタを互いに接続するチップペーパであって、少なくとも1つの穿孔を有するチップペーパと
を具備し、
前記穿孔は、前記チップペーパを貫通して前記フィルタ内に延び、
前記チップペーパは該チップペーパの裏面に形成され、前記シガレット及び前記フィルタの外周面に前記チップペーパを接着させた糊の接着面と、前記裏面に確保された接着性の無い非接着域とをそれぞれ含み、
前記穿孔は前記非接着域に配置され、
前記非接着域は前記チップペーパの全周に亘って延びている。
本発明の他の目的及び利点は、添付図面及び発明を実施するための形態に係る後述の説明から明らかとなる。
このようなチップペーパ14はフィルタ12の吸い口端面12eからシガレット10の一端部に亘り、フィルタ12及びシガレット10を覆っている。
第1実施形態の場合、穿孔列16は吸い口端12eの近傍に配置されている。このような穿孔列16の個々の穿孔18は、図2から明らかなようにチップペーパ14を貫通してフィルタ12の内部まで延びる一方、フィルタシガレットFCの軸線Aに対して垂直ではなく傾斜されている。それ故、穿孔18は吸い口端面12eの近傍にてチップペーパ14の外周面に開口した外端と、この外端よりもフィルタ12内にてシガレット10側に位置付けられた内端とを有する。
更に、本実施形態の場合、チップペーパ14の裏面には非接着域Zが確保されている。この非接着域Zは図1中に便宜的に加えられた2本の細線Lz間にて規定され、チップペーパ14の全周に亘る環状領域を形成している。
また、粉塵が製造機の各機械要素上に堆積するとしても、堆積した粉塵の除去もまた容易である。
この状態で、ユーザがフィルタシガレットFCを喫煙すれば、シガレット10から発生した主流煙の大部分はフィルタ12の内部を通過し、吸い口端面12eからユーザの口腔内にフィルタシガレットFCの軸線Aに沿って送出される(図2中の矢印Cm参照)。
図3は製造機の全体を概略的に示し、この製造機はフィルタ取付装置20を含む。このフィルタ取付装置20はロッド供給経路22を有し、このロッド供給経路22はシガレットロッド製造機とフィルタアタッチメントセクション24との間を接続する。シガレットロッド製造機は倍長シガレットWCを順次製造し、製造された倍長シガレットWCはフィルタアタッチメントセクション24にロッド供給経路22を介して供給される。倍長シガレットWCは前述したシガレット10の2倍の長さを有する。
糊塗布装置34はペーパウエブPWの片面に糊を塗布して接着面を形成する。
一方、ウエブ切断装置36はペーパウエブPWをその長手方向に沿い間欠的に切断し、倍幅ペーパWPを順次形成する(図4参照)。倍幅ペーパWPは前述したチップペーパ14の2倍の幅を有する。
先ず、倍長シガレットWCは2本のシガレット10に切断される(図4(a))。この後、2本のシガレット10は互い離され、これらシガレット10間に所定のスペースが確保される(図4())。この後、倍長フィルタWFがスペース内に配置され(図4(c))、そして、2本のシガレット10は倍長フィルタWFに向けて移動され、倍長フィルタWFの対応する端面に密接され(図4(d))、これにより、ダブルフィルタシガレットWFCの中間品Iが形成される。
移送経路38には、レーザ穿孔装置40、シガレット切断装置42及び整列装置44が配置され、これらレーザ穿孔装置40、シガレット切断装置42及び整列装置44はフィルタアタッチメントセクション24側から順次配置されている。
詳しくは、ダブルフィルタシガレットWFCの軸線方向の中心位置CPにて、倍幅ペーパWPを左右の部分L,Rに区分したとき、一方のレーザ光Lb1は、図5でみて右側部分Lに照射され、これに対して、他方のレーザ光Lb2は左側部分Rに照射される。ここで、レーザ光Lb1,Lb2の照射位置と中心位置CPとの間の距離は同一であり、これらレーザ光Lb1,Lb2の傾斜角は前述した穿孔18の傾斜角に一致されている。
この結果、間欠的に出射されるレーザ光Lb1,Lb2は、穿孔位置PPにあるダブルフィルタシガレットWFCに前述した穿孔列16を2つ形成する(レーザ穿孔工程)。これら穿孔列16は図7に示されるように中心位置CPの両側にそれぞれ位置付けられている。また、穿孔列16の各穿孔18が倍幅ペーパWPを貫通して倍長フィルタWF内に延びていることは言うまでもない。
先ず、シガレット切断装置42は、ダブルフィルタシガレットWFCを中心位置CPにて切断し(シガレット切断工程)、ダブルフィルタシガレットWFCから2本のフィルタシガレットFCを形成する(図8(a))。この後、2本のフィルタシガレットFCは互いに離される(図8(b))。
この後、フィルタシガレットFCは包装機に供給され、この包装機はシガレットパッケージを形成する。
詳しくは、図9に示されるように、糊塗布装置34は糊転写ローラ48と、ピンチローラ50とを含む。ウエブ供給経路32上を走行するペーパウエブPWが糊転写ローラ48とピンチローラ50との間を通過する際、糊転写ローラ48はペーパウエブPWの裏面に糊を塗布、即ち、転写し、後述する対象域を除いて糊層、即ち、接着面を形成する(糊塗布工程)。
即ち、本実施形態の場合、周方向ランド54,56,58は周溝52と協働し、領域R1~R3を除いて接着面Sを形成する第1機構(第1プロセス)を実現する。
隣接する2つの横断領域R4間の間隔は倍幅ペーパWPの長さ(周長)に一致し、これにより、前述したウエブ切断装置36はペーパウエブPWを横断領域R4にて切断し、倍幅ペーパWPを形成する。それ故、ウエブ切断装置36の切断刃にも糊が付着することはない。
この糊塗布装置34’の糊転写ローラ48’は前述の横断領域R4を除くペーパウエブPWの裏面全域に熱硬化性の糊を塗布し、接着面Sを形成する。
この場合、糊塗布装置34’は接着面Sの接着力を部分的に無効にする無効化機構(第2機構)60を更に備え、この無効化機構60は糊転写ローラ48’とウエブ切断装置36との間に配置されている。
ペーパウエブPWの裏面に対向したヒータブロック62の面には3つの発熱突起64,66,68が一体に形成されている。これら発熱突起64,66,68はペーパウエブPWの長手方向に所定の長さに亘って互いに平行に延び、ペーパウエブPWの接着面Sの近傍に位置付けられている。
なお、前述した横断領域R4に対応する横断領域R4’もまた、接着面Sの加熱又は接着面Sへの紫外線の照射により同様にして形成可能であることは言うまでもない。更に、無効化機構(硬化器)60は、紫外線に代えて可視光、赤外線又は高周波を含む電磁波を利用することも可能である。
フィルタシガレットFC’を説明するにあたり、第1実施形態のフィルタシガレットFCと同一の構成要素には同一の参照符号を付して、これら構成要素の説明を省略し、フィルタシガレットFCとの相違点のみを以下に説明する。
フィルタシガレットFC’は前述の穿孔列16に代えて、例えば2つの穿孔列16’を有する。これら穿孔列16’を形成する穿孔18’は、図17から明らかなようにチャコールフィルタ要素72に対応したチップペーパ14の外周面に開口する一方、チップペーパ14及び成形紙76を貫通して、チャコールフィルタ要素72の内部まで軸線Aに対して垂直に延びている。この場合、レーザ穿孔装置40のレーザ出射器46は軸線Aに対して垂直にレーザ光を出射する。
上述のフィルタシガレットFC’によれば、このフィルタシガレットFC’がユーザによって喫煙されたとき、外気が穿孔列16’の各穿孔18’を通じてデュアルフィルタ12’のチャコールフィルタ要素72内に導入される。このようして導入された外気はフィルタシガレットFC’の主流煙を希釈し、これにより、ユーザに軽い喫煙フィーリングが提供する。
この場合、穿孔18’を通じてチャコールフィルタ要素72内に導入される通気量は、穿孔18’の数、サイズ及び深さにより、これらは何れも、レーザ穿孔装置40によって容易に調整可能である。
それ故、フィルタシガレットFCの製造に際しては、主流煙の分配比Qe/Qaを所望の値に一致させるべき穿孔18の数、サイズ及び深さを制御する必要があり、このためには、主流煙の分配比Qe/Qaの正確な測定が不可欠である。
Qa=Qc+Qe=Vt+Vp+Vf
ここで、
Qc: フィルタシガレットFCの吸い口端面12eから送出される主流煙の量、
Vt: シガレット10の先端からシガレット10内に導入される空気量、
Vp: シガレット10の巻紙を通じてシガレット10内に導入される空気量、
Vf: 穿孔列18’を通じてフィルタ12内に導入される空気量
なお、第1実施形態のフィルタシガレットFCは穿孔列18’を有していないが、ここでは、フィルタシガレットFCが穿孔列18’を有していると仮定する。このことは、第1実施形態のフィルタシガレットFCもまた、穿孔列16に加えて穿孔列18’を有してもよいことを意味する。
測定装置78はフィルタソケット80を備え、このフィルタソケット80は円筒形状をなす。フィルタシガレットFCはフィルタ12の吸い口端を先頭としてフィルタソケット80に差込み可能である。
フィルタソケット80の内周面には2つのシールリング82,84が取り付けられ、これらシールリング82,84は弾性を有する。一方のシールリング82はフィルタソケット80の底の側に位置付けられ、他方のシールリング84はフィルタソケット80の開口端側に位置付けられている。
室86,88からは分岐経路90,92がそれぞれ延び、これら分岐経路90,92は吸引経路94に接続されている。吸引経路94はマスフローコントローラ96を介して吸引ポンプ98に接続されている。吸引ポンプ98が作動されたとき、マスフローコントローラ96は吸引経路94内での吸引空気の流れを1050ml/minに設定する。
更に、分岐経路90,92は圧力調整器100及び流量計104の上流にて、バイパス経路106を介して互いに接続され、このバイパス経路106に弁108が配置されている。
手順1:
弁106が開かれる一方、弁102は閉じられる。この状態で、室86,88内の空気が共に吸引され、流量計104にて流量Qaが測定される。
手順2:
弁106が閉じられる一方、弁102が開かれる。この状態で、室88内の空気が吸引され、流量計104にて流量Qeが測定される。
手順3:
測定された流量Qa,Qeに基づき、主流煙の分配比Qe/Qaが算出される。
例えば、上述の実施形態では、ダブルフィルタシガレットWFCが穿孔の対象とされているが、フィルタシガレットFCを穿孔の対象としてもよい。また、穿孔列16,16’は別個の穿孔位置にて形成されてもよい。例えば、穿孔列16がダブルフィルタシガレットWFC及びフィルタシガレットFCの一方に形成される場合、穿孔列16’はダブルフィルタシガレットWFC及びフィルタシガレットFCの他方に形成される。また、穿孔列の数及び配置が任意に選択できることは言うまでもない。
また、接着面Sは糊の塗布(転写)に代えて、ノズルから糊を噴射することによっても形成可能であり、一方、非接着域Zもまた熱や前述の電磁波に代えて、糊を化学的に変化させることでも得ることができる。
更に、フィルタシガレットは前述したプレーンフィルタやデュアルフィルタに限らず、トリプルフィルタ、リセスフィルタ等のフィルタ構造を含むことができ、フィルタ材料にも種々の材料を使用可能である。
