Description

加熱式タバコ用支持部材及び加熱式タバコ用カートリッジSupport members for heat-not-burn tobacco and cartridges for heat-not-burn tobacco
　本発明は、タバコまたは非タバコ植物を材料とするタバコ充填物を有する加熱式タバコに用いられる加熱式タバコ用支持部材及びこれを有する加熱式タバコ用カートリッジに関する。 The present invention relates to a heat-not-burn tobacco support member used for a heat-not-burn tobacco having a tobacco filling made of tobacco or a non-tobacco plant, and a heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge having the support member.
　近年、タバコの禁煙の傾向に合わせるために、火炎を用いることなく、タバコの成分を含むカートリッジを加熱して、気化したタバコ成分を吸引することで、タバコを楽しむための加熱式タバコ製品が普及し始めている。加熱式タバコ用カートリッジは、加熱式タバコ本体が有するブレード等の加熱体が差し込まれて加熱されるタバコ充填物と、吸口に設けられるフィルタと、タバコ充填物とフィルタの間に設けられる支持部材とを有し、これらが紙等の包装部材で巻かれることで形成される。このような加熱式タバコ用支持部材及び加熱式タバコ用カートリッジとして、例えば特許文献１に挙げるようなものがある。 In recent years, in order to match the tendency of tobacco to quit smoking, heated tobacco products for enjoying tobacco by heating a cartridge containing tobacco components and sucking vaporized tobacco components without using a flame have become widespread. I'm starting to smoke. The heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge includes a tobacco filling that is heated by inserting a heating body such as a blade of the heating tobacco body, a filter provided at the mouthpiece, and a support member provided between the tobacco filling and the filter. These are formed by being wrapped with a packaging member such as paper. Examples of such a support member for heat-not-burn tobacco and a cartridge for heat-not-burn tobacco are those listed in Patent Document 1.

　加熱式タバコ用支持部材は、タバコ充填物からの気流を通すと共に、タバコ充填物を一端部から支持して、タバコ充填物に加熱体が差し込まれた際に、充填物が崩れないようにする機能を有している。このために、加熱式タバコ用支持部材は、長さ方向に貫通する孔部を有し、それ以外の部分でタバコ充填物を支持している。 The heat-not-burn tobacco support member allows airflow from the tobacco filling and supports the tobacco filling from one end so that the filling does not collapse when the heater is inserted into the tobacco filling. It has a function. For this purpose, the heat-not-burn tobacco support member has a hole penetrating in the length direction and supports the tobacco filling in other portions.
　加熱式タバコ用支持部材を長さ方向と直交する平面で切った断面において、孔部の領域は空隙である。当該断面における空隙率が高ければ、タバコ充填物から吸口に向かう気流の流動性を良好にすることができるが、空隙率が高すぎるとタバコ充填物を支持する機能が低下する。また、孔部を断面内でどのように配置するかによって、タバコ充填物を支持する機能に影響する。このため、孔部の形状及び配置を適正化することで、気流の流動性とタバコ充填物の支持の機能の両立を図ることができる。 In the cross section of the heat-not-burn tobacco support member cut by a plane orthogonal to the length direction, the hole region is a void. If the porosity in the cross section is high, the fluidity of the airflow from the tobacco filling to the mouthpiece can be improved, but if the porosity is too high, the function of supporting the tobacco filling is deteriorated. Also, how the holes are arranged in the cross section affects the ability to support the tobacco filling. Therefore, by optimizing the shape and arrangement of the holes, it is possible to achieve both the fluidity of the air flow and the function of supporting the tobacco filling.
　本発明は前記課題を鑑みてなされたものであり、孔部の形状及び配置を適正化した加熱式タバコ用支持部材及び加熱式タバコ用カートリッジを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a heat-not-burn tobacco support member and a heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge in which the shape and arrangement of holes are optimized.

　本発明の実施形態について図面に沿って詳細に説明する。図１には、本実施形態におけるタバコ充填物集積体１０を有する加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１の断面図を示している。この図に示すように、加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１は、タバコ充填物２０が多数充填された略円筒状のタバコ充填物集積体１０と、加熱式タバコ用支持部材１２（以下単に支持部材１２という）と、吸口となるフィルタ１４とが、長さ方向に沿って配列され、シート状の包装部材１６で巻かれることで一体化されて形成されている。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 having a tobacco filler aggregate 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 includes a substantially cylindrical tobacco filler aggregate 10 filled with a large number of tobacco fillers 20, and a heat-not-burn tobacco support member 12 (hereinafter, simply referred to as a support member 12). ) And the filter 14 serving as a mouthpiece are arranged along the length direction and are integrally formed by being wound by a sheet-shaped packaging member 16.
　タバコ充填物集積体１０は、長尺状のタバコ充填物２０が長さ方向に沿って束状とされ、シート状の包装体２５で巻かれることで略円筒状となるように形成されている。タバコ充填物２０は、非タバコ植物から形成される。ただし、タバコ充填物２０はタバコで形成されてもよい。 The tobacco filling aggregate 10 is formed so that the long tobacco filling 20 is bundled along the length direction and is wound around the sheet-shaped packaging 25 to form a substantially cylindrical shape. .. Tobacco filling 20 is formed from non-tobacco plants. However, the tobacco filling 20 may be made of tobacco.
　タバコ充填物２０は、乾燥・粉砕された非タバコ植物に、エアロゾルを発生させるエアロゾルフォーマや、微結晶セルロース、風味を追加する添加剤、保存料、粘着剤または増粘剤等を混合し、シート状に成形した上で、所定の幅及び長さを有するように切断されることで形成される。ただし、タバコ充填物２０はダスト状に形成されてもよい。 The tobacco filling 20 is a sheet obtained by mixing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol, microcrystalline cellulose, an additive that adds flavor, a preservative, an adhesive, a thickener, or the like with a dried / crushed non-tobacco plant. It is formed by forming it into a shape and then cutting it so as to have a predetermined width and length. However, the tobacco filling 20 may be formed in the form of dust.
　支持部材１２は、タバコ充填物集積体１０で発生したエアロゾルを含む気流をフィルタ１４側に流通させる。支持部材１２の第１端面３０はタバコ充填物集積体１０の端面に当接し、支持部材１２の第２端面３１はフィルタ１４の端面に当接している。支持部材１２は第１端面３０から第２端面３１まで延びる孔部４０を有しており、孔部４０を通じて気流が流通する。フィルタ１４は、スポンジ状の多孔質体であり、円筒状に形成されている。 The support member 12 circulates the air flow containing the aerosol generated in the tobacco filling aggregate 10 to the filter 14 side. The first end face 30 of the support member 12 is in contact with the end face of the tobacco filling aggregate 10, and the second end face 31 of the support member 12 is in contact with the end face of the filter 14. The support member 12 has a hole portion 40 extending from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31, and an air flow flows through the hole portion 40. The filter 14 is a sponge-like porous body and is formed in a cylindrical shape.
　本実施形態において加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１は、径が６．５～７．５ｍｍ、長さが４０～４９ｍｍに形成される。また、タバコ充填物集積体１０は、１１～１３ｍｍの長さを有する。ただし、これ以外の寸法を有していてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 is formed to have a diameter of 6.5 to 7.5 mm and a length of 40 to 49 mm. Further, the tobacco filling aggregate 10 has a length of 11 to 13 mm. However, it may have dimensions other than this.
　図２には、加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１の使用形態を表す断面図を示している。加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１は、加熱式タバコ本体２に装着されて使用される。加熱式タバコ本体２は、加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１を挿入させる挿入部５１を有している。挿入部５１には、挿入された加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１のタバコ充填物２０に対して挿入される針状あるいはブレード状の加熱部５０が設けられる。加熱部５０は、タバコ充填物２０に対して挿入された状態で発熱することにより、タバコ充填物２０からエアロゾルを発生させることができる。この状態で、ユーザーがフィルタ１４から吸うことにより、エアロゾルを含む気流を吸引することができる。 FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view showing a usage pattern of the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1. The heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 is used by being attached to the heat-not-burn tobacco body 2. The heat-not-burn tobacco body 2 has an insertion portion 51 into which the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 is inserted. The insertion portion 51 is provided with a needle-shaped or blade-shaped heating portion 50 to be inserted into the tobacco filling 20 of the inserted heated tobacco cartridge 1. The heating unit 50 can generate an aerosol from the tobacco filling 20 by generating heat while being inserted into the tobacco filling 20. In this state, the user can suck the air flow containing the aerosol by sucking it from the filter 14.
　支持部材１２について詳細に説明する。図３には、支持部材１２の斜視図を示している。支持部材１２は、樹脂材で形成される円筒状の部材である。支持部材１２を形成する樹脂材としては、例えば、シリコンのようなものが挙げられる。ただし、支持部材１２はこれ以外の樹脂材、あるいは冷却効果が増す木材、金属（アルミ等）ような樹脂材以外の材料で形成されていてもよい。 The support member 12 will be described in detail. FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the support member 12. The support member 12 is a cylindrical member made of a resin material. Examples of the resin material forming the support member 12 include those such as silicon. However, the support member 12 may be made of a resin material other than this, or a material other than the resin material such as wood or metal (aluminum or the like) having an increased cooling effect.
　図３に示すように、支持部材１２は、第１端面３０と第２端面３１及び周面部３２を有している。支持部材１２は、第１端面３０から第２端面３１まで貫通する孔部４０を有している。孔部４０は、タバコ充填物集積体１０で発生したエアロゾルを含む気流を、フィルタ１４側に流通させる流路として機能する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the support member 12 has a first end surface 30, a second end surface 31, and a peripheral surface portion 32. The support member 12 has a hole 40 penetrating from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31. The hole 40 functions as a flow path for circulating the air flow containing the aerosol generated in the tobacco filling aggregate 10 to the filter 14 side.
　図４は、支持部材１２の第１端面３０を正面とした図である。支持部材１２は、長さ方向と直交する平面で切断した断面形状において、第１端面３０から第２端面３１まで同じ形状を有する。このため、当該断面形状も図４と同形状となる。 FIG. 4 is a view in which the first end surface 30 of the support member 12 is the front surface. The support member 12 has the same shape from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31 in a cross-sectional shape cut in a plane orthogonal to the length direction. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape is also the same as that in FIG.
　図４に示すように、孔部４０は、周面部３２の中心軸Ｃを含まないように外周部に配置された第１貫通孔４１を有している。第１貫通孔４１は楕円形状であり、支持部材１２の径方向より周方向に長い形状を有している。第１貫通孔４１は周方向に沿って３つが設けられる。第１貫通孔４１の楕円中心Ｐは、それぞれ中心軸Ｃから一定の半径を有する仮想円Ｖ上に配置される。また、楕円中心Ｐは、中心軸Ｃを中心としてそれぞれ周方向に１２０°ずつの間隔を有して配置されている。このため、３つの第１貫通孔４１は、周方向に等間隔に配置される。 As shown in FIG. 4, the hole 40 has a first through hole 41 arranged on the outer peripheral portion so as not to include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 32. The first through hole 41 has an elliptical shape and has a shape longer in the circumferential direction than the radial direction of the support member 12. Three first through holes 41 are provided along the circumferential direction. The elliptical center P of the first through hole 41 is arranged on a virtual circle V having a constant radius from the central axis C, respectively. Further, the elliptical centers P are arranged with an interval of 120 ° in the circumferential direction about the central axis C. Therefore, the three first through holes 41 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.
　第１端面３０は、孔部４０の部分が空隙で、それ以外の部分が中実であり、この中実部分がタバコ充填物集積体１０の端面に当接する。タバコ充填物集積体１０は、加熱式タバコ本体２の加熱部５０が挿入される際には長さ方向に力を受けるため、当接する支持部材１２の中実部分でタバコ充填物集積体１０を支持することができる。本実施形態の孔部４０は、周面部３２の中心軸Ｃを含まないように支持部材１２の外周部に配置され、支持部材１２の径方向より周方向に長い形状を有する第１貫通孔４１を有しているので、第１端面３０の外周端と第１貫通孔４１の外周端との間の肉厚を大きくすることができる。このため、第１端面３０の外周部の中実部分を広くすることができるため、タバコ充填物集積体１０を確実に支持することができる。また、第１端面３０の外周部の中実部分が広いことで、支持部材１２の部分を手で持った場合に、形状が潰れにくいようにすることができる。 In the first end face 30, the portion of the hole 40 is a gap and the other portion is solid, and this solid portion abuts on the end face of the tobacco filling aggregate 10. Since the tobacco filler 10 receives a force in the length direction when the heating portion 50 of the heat-not-burn tobacco body 2 is inserted, the tobacco filler 10 is placed at the solid portion of the supporting member 12 that abuts. Can be supported. The hole 40 of the present embodiment is arranged on the outer peripheral portion of the support member 12 so as not to include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 32, and is a first through hole 41 having a shape longer in the circumferential direction than the radial direction of the support member 12. Therefore, the wall thickness between the outer peripheral end of the first end surface 30 and the outer peripheral end of the first through hole 41 can be increased. Therefore, since the solid portion of the outer peripheral portion of the first end surface 30 can be widened, the tobacco filling aggregate 10 can be reliably supported. Further, since the solid portion of the outer peripheral portion of the first end surface 30 is wide, it is possible to prevent the shape from being crushed when the portion of the support member 12 is held by hand.
　第１端面３０の面積に対する孔部４０の面積は、空隙率として算出される。空隙率は、５０％以下もしくは７５％以上の範囲に設定することができる。好ましくは、空隙率は３５～５０％に設定される。図４において空隙率は、３４．３％である。第１貫通孔４１を支持部材１２の周方向に長い形状とすることで、空隙率を確保して気流の流動性を良好にしつつ、外周部に厚い中実部を形成してタバコ充填物集積体１０の保持性も良好にすることができる。 The area of the hole 40 with respect to the area of the first end face 30 is calculated as a porosity. The porosity can be set in the range of 50% or less or 75% or more. Preferably, the porosity is set to 35-50%. In FIG. 4, the porosity is 34.3%. By forming the first through hole 41 into a shape that is long in the circumferential direction of the support member 12, a thick solid portion is formed on the outer peripheral portion while ensuring the porosity and improving the fluidity of the air flow, and the tobacco filling is accumulated. The retention of the body 10 can also be improved.
　次に、支持部材の第１変形例について説明する。図５には、第１変形例に係る支持部材１３の斜視図を示している。この図に示すように、支持部材１３は、第１端面３０と第２端面３１及び周面部３２を有し、第１端面３０から第２端面３１の間を貫通する孔部４０が形成されている。孔部４０は図３，４に示す支持部材１２と同様の形状を有している。 Next, a first modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the support member 13 according to the first modification. As shown in this figure, the support member 13 has a first end surface 30, a second end surface 31, and a peripheral surface portion 32, and a hole portion 40 penetrating between the first end surface 30 and the second end surface 31 is formed. There is. The hole 40 has the same shape as the support member 12 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
　図５の支持部材１３は、周面部３２に多数の凹凸部４５を有している。凹凸部４５は、支持部材１３の周方向に沿って細かい凹凸形状を有している。また、凹凸部４５は、支持部材１３の周面部３２の第１端面３０から第２端面３１までの長さ方向全長に渡るように形成されている。 The support member 13 in FIG. 5 has a large number of uneven portions 45 on the peripheral surface portion 32. The uneven portion 45 has a fine uneven shape along the circumferential direction of the support member 13. Further, the uneven portion 45 is formed so as to extend over the entire length in the length direction from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31 of the peripheral surface portion 32 of the support member 13.
　図６には、加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１に設けられた第１変形例に係る支持部材１３を長さ方向と直交する平面で切断した断面図を示している。この図に示すように、支持部材１３の外周に巻かれている包装部材１６と支持部材１３の周面部３２との間には、凹凸部４５により小さな空隙部が多数形成される。この空隙部は、支持部材１３の第１端面３０から第２端面３１まで連続するように形成されるので、タバコ充填物集積体１０からフィルタ１４への気流を一部流通させることができる。これにより、気流の流路を孔部４０に加えて拡大し、流動性をより良くすることができる。 FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the support member 13 according to the first modification provided in the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1 cut in a plane orthogonal to the length direction. As shown in this figure, a large number of small gaps are formed by the uneven portions 45 between the packaging member 16 wound around the outer periphery of the support member 13 and the peripheral surface portion 32 of the support member 13. Since this gap is formed so as to be continuous from the first end surface 30 to the second end surface 31 of the support member 13, a part of the air flow from the tobacco filling aggregate 10 to the filter 14 can be circulated. As a result, the flow path of the air flow can be expanded by adding it to the hole 40 to improve the fluidity.
　また、周面部３２に凹凸部４５が形成されていることで、加熱式タバコ用カートリッジ１の製造時において、支持部材１３を組立機械で把持しやすくすることができ、製造を容易にすることができる。 Further, since the concave-convex portion 45 is formed on the peripheral surface portion 32, the support member 13 can be easily gripped by the assembling machine at the time of manufacturing the heat-not-burn tobacco cartridge 1, and the manufacturing can be facilitated. it can.
　次に、支持部材の第２変形例について説明する。図７には、第２変形例に係る支持部材６０の第１端面６１を正面とした図を示している。本例の支持部材６０は、孔部６３の態様が図３の支持部材１２と異なっている。図７に示すように、孔部６３は、周面部６２の中心軸Ｃを含まず、径方向より周方向に長い第１貫通孔６４を有している。 Next, a second modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 7 shows a view in which the first end surface 61 of the support member 60 according to the second modification is the front surface. In the support member 60 of this example, the aspect of the hole 63 is different from that of the support member 12 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the hole portion 63 does not include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 62, and has a first through hole 64 that is longer in the circumferential direction than in the radial direction.
　第１貫通孔６４は、支持部材６０の周面部６２に面する側に楕円弧Ｓを有し、支持部材６０の中心軸Ｃに面する側に直線部Ｔを有した半月状の形状を有している。楕円弧Ｓを有する楕円の中心位置Ｐは、周面部６２の中心軸Ｃから一定の半径を有する仮想円Ｖ上に位置する。第１貫通孔６４は周方向に沿って３つ形成され、それぞれの中心位置Ｐはいずれも仮想円Ｖ上にあって、互いに１２０°の間隔を有して配置されている。 The first through hole 64 has a crescent-shaped shape having an elliptical arc S on the side of the support member 60 facing the peripheral surface portion 62 and a straight portion T on the side of the support member 60 facing the central axis C. ing. The center position P of the ellipse having the elliptical arc S is located on the virtual circle V having a constant radius from the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 62. Three first through holes 64 are formed along the circumferential direction, and the center positions P of the first through holes 64 are all on the virtual circle V and are arranged at intervals of 120 ° from each other.
　第１貫通孔６４は、周面部６２に面する外周側に楕円弧Ｓを有しているので、第１貫通孔６４の外周と周面部６２との間の肉厚を十分に確保することができる。図４の場合は、第１貫通孔４１の全体が楕円弧となっているのに対し、図７では第１貫通孔６４の一部が楕円弧となっている。第１貫通孔は、少なくとも楕円の中心位置Ｐを中心として６０°の範囲に楕円弧を有していることが望ましい。 Since the first through hole 64 has an elliptical arc S on the outer peripheral side facing the peripheral surface portion 62, a sufficient wall thickness between the outer peripheral surface portion 62 and the outer peripheral surface portion 62 of the first through hole 64 can be sufficiently secured. .. In the case of FIG. 4, the entire first through hole 41 has an elliptical arc, whereas in FIG. 7, a part of the first through hole 64 has an elliptical arc. It is desirable that the first through hole has an elliptical arc in a range of at least 60 ° about the center position P of the ellipse.
　また、孔部６３は、周面部６２の中心軸Ｃを含む第２貫通孔６５を有している。第２貫通孔６５は、中心軸Ｃを中心とする円形状を有している。第２貫通孔６５を設けることで、支持部材６０の空隙率を高くすることができる。 Further, the hole portion 63 has a second through hole 65 including the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 62. The second through hole 65 has a circular shape centered on the central axis C. By providing the second through hole 65, the porosity of the support member 60 can be increased.
　次に、支持部材の第３変形例について説明する。図８には、第３変形例に係る支持部材７０の第１端面７１を正面とした図を示している。本例の支持部材７０も、孔部７３の態様が図３の支持部材１２と異なっている。図８に示すように、孔部７３は、周面部７２の中心軸Ｃを含まない第１貫通孔７４と、中心軸Ｃを含む第２貫通孔７５とを有している。 Next, a third modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 8 shows a view in which the first end surface 71 of the support member 70 according to the third modification is the front surface. The support member 70 of this example also differs from the support member 12 of FIG. 3 in the aspect of the hole 73. As shown in FIG. 8, the hole portion 73 has a first through hole 74 that does not include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 72, and a second through hole 75 that includes the central axis C.
　第１貫通孔７４は、円形状を有し、周方向に９０°ずつの間隔を有して４つが配置される。また、第２貫通孔７５は、円形状を有し、中心軸Ｃを中心位置として配置される。本例では、第１貫通孔７４を小径にして支持部材７０の外周部の肉厚を確保しつつ、第１貫通孔７４の数を増やして空隙率を確保するようにしている。本例における空隙率は２４．８％である。 The first through hole 74 has a circular shape, and four are arranged at intervals of 90 ° in the circumferential direction. Further, the second through hole 75 has a circular shape and is arranged with the central axis C as the central position. In this example, the diameter of the first through hole 74 is reduced to secure the wall thickness of the outer peripheral portion of the support member 70, and the number of the first through hole 74 is increased to secure the porosity. The porosity in this example is 24.8%.
　次に、支持部材の第４変形例について説明する。図９には、第４変形例に係る支持部材８０の第１端面８１を正面とした図を示している。本例の支持部材８０も、孔部８３の態様が図３の支持部材１２と異なっている。図９に示すように、孔部８３は、周面部８２の中心軸Ｃを含まない第１貫通孔８４と、中心軸Ｃを含む第２貫通孔８５とを有している。 Next, a fourth modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 9 shows a view in which the first end surface 81 of the support member 80 according to the fourth modification is the front surface. The support member 80 of this example also differs from the support member 12 of FIG. 3 in the aspect of the hole 83. As shown in FIG. 9, the hole 83 has a first through hole 84 that does not include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 82, and a second through hole 85 that includes the central axis C.
　第１貫通孔８４は、円形状を有し、７２°ずつの間隔を有して５つが配置される。また、第２貫通孔８５は、円形状を有し、中心軸Ｃを中心位置として配置される。本例では、第１貫通孔８４の数をさらに増やして空隙率を確保するようにしている。本例における空隙率は２９．７％である。 The first through hole 84 has a circular shape, and five are arranged at intervals of 72 °. Further, the second through hole 85 has a circular shape and is arranged with the central axis C as the central position. In this example, the number of the first through holes 84 is further increased to secure the porosity. The porosity in this example is 29.7%.
　次に、支持部材の第５変形例について説明する。図１０には、第５変形例に係る支持部材９０の第１端面９１を正面とした図を示している。本例の支持部材９０も、孔部９３の態様が図３の支持部材１２と異なっている。図１０に示すように、孔部９３は、周面部９２の中心軸Ｃを含まない第１貫通孔９４と、中心軸Ｃを含む第２貫通孔９５とを有している。 Next, a fifth modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 10 shows a view in which the first end surface 91 of the support member 90 according to the fifth modification is the front surface. The support member 90 of this example also differs from the support member 12 of FIG. 3 in the aspect of the hole 93. As shown in FIG. 10, the hole 93 has a first through hole 94 that does not include the central axis C of the peripheral surface portion 92, and a second through hole 95 that includes the central axis C.
　第１貫通孔９４は、周面部９２に面する外周側が、外周側に凸状の円弧であり、中心軸Ｃ側も、外周側に凸状の円弧である。第１貫通孔９４の外周側の円弧を有する円の中心位置は、第４変形例と同様７２°ずつの間隔を有し、第１貫通孔９４は周方向に沿って５つが配置される。第２貫通孔９５は、円形状を有し、中心軸Ｃを中心位置として配置される。本例における空隙率は２７．４％である。 The outer peripheral side of the first through hole 94 facing the peripheral surface portion 92 is a convex arc on the outer peripheral side, and the central axis C side is also a convex arc on the outer peripheral side. The center positions of the circles having arcs on the outer peripheral side of the first through holes 94 have an interval of 72 ° as in the fourth modification, and five first through holes 94 are arranged along the circumferential direction. The second through hole 95 has a circular shape and is arranged with the central axis C as the central position. The porosity in this example is 27.4%.
　次に、支持部材の第６変形例について説明する。図１１には、第６変形例に係る支持部材１００の第１端面１０１を正面とした図を示している。本例の支持部材１００も、孔部１０３の態様が図３の支持部材１２と異なっている。図１１に示すように、孔部１０３は、周面部１０２の中心軸Ｃを含まない第１貫通孔１０４を周方向に３つ有している。第１貫通孔１０４は、円形状を有しており、中心位置が第１端面１０１の周方向に１２０°ずつの間隔を有して配置されている。本例における空隙率は３４．５％である。 Next, a sixth modification of the support member will be described. FIG. 11 shows a view in which the first end surface 101 of the support member 100 according to the sixth modification is the front surface. The support member 100 of this example also differs from the support member 12 of FIG. 3 in the aspect of the hole 103. As shown in FIG. 11, the hole 103 has three first through holes 104 in the circumferential direction that do not include the central axis C of the peripheral surface 102.
