技术领域technical field

本发明涉及具有可变通气性的发烟制品,更具体地,涉及具有可变通气性的过滤嘴香烟。The present invention relates to smoking articles with variable ventilation, and more particularly, to filter cigarettes with variable ventilation.

背景技术Background technique

过滤嘴香烟通常包括由包装纸围绕的圆柱状烟丝填料杆,和与包裹的烟草杆以抵接端对端关系轴向对准的圆柱状过滤嘴。通常,包裹的烟草杆和过滤嘴通过环绕整个过滤嘴的长度和包裹的烟草杆的相邻部分的一段接装纸结合。接装纸可在沿过滤嘴的一位置处设置有周向的一排或多排穿孔,以使包裹的烟草杆的燃烧过程中产生的主流烟气与环境空气通气。还已知具有用于改变吸烟过程中获得的通气性水平的机构的过滤嘴香烟,所述机构使消费者能够改变环境空气与递送到其嘴中的主流烟气的比率。Filter cigarettes typically include a cylindrical tobacco filler rod surrounded by a wrapper, and a cylindrical filter axially aligned in abutting end-to-end relationship with the wrapped tobacco rod. Typically, the wrapped tobacco rod and filter are joined by a length of tipping paper that surrounds the entire length of the filter and an adjacent portion of the wrapped tobacco rod. The tipping paper may be provided with one or more circumferential rows of perforations at a location along the filter to ventilate mainstream smoke generated during combustion of the wrapped tobacco rod with ambient air. Filtered cigarettes are also known with a mechanism for varying the level of ventilation obtained during smoking, which mechanism enables the consumer to vary the ratio of ambient air to mainstream smoke delivered to his mouth.

例如,US-A-4,570,649公开了一种可变稀释率过滤嘴香烟,包括基本上圆柱状的烟草杆、基本上圆柱状的滤嘴棒、环绕滤嘴棒的过滤嘴包装纸和环绕过滤嘴包装纸及烟草杆的一部分的接装纸。过滤嘴包装纸和接装纸中的至少一个是不透气的。过滤嘴包装纸分为嘴端段、中央段和其中具有第一开口的杆端段。嘴端段和杆端段固定到过滤嘴,而中央段可围绕滤嘴棒的纵轴旋转。接装纸分为第一段和第二段。接装纸的第一段从滤嘴棒的嘴端延伸到覆盖过滤嘴包装纸的杆端段的位置,并且仅附接到过滤嘴包装纸的中央段,以围绕滤嘴棒的纵轴随其一起旋转。接装纸的第一段在其中具有第二开口,覆盖过滤嘴包装纸的杆端段,以使第一段的旋转引起第二开口旋转来改变与杆端段中的第一开口对准的程度,由此改变吸烟过程中获得的稀释水平。接装纸的第二段从第一段延伸到烟草杆上的某个位置,并且将烟草杆结合到滤嘴棒。For example, US-A-4,570,649 discloses a variable dilution filter cigarette comprising a substantially cylindrical tobacco rod, a substantially cylindrical filter rod, a filter wrapper surrounding the filter rod and a surrounding filter wrapper and Tipping paper that is part of a tobacco rod. At least one of the filter wrapper and the tipping wrap is air impermeable. The filter wrapper is divided into a mouth end section, a central section and a stem end section having a first opening therein. The mouth and rod end sections are fixed to the filter, while the central section is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the filter rod. The tipping paper is divided into the first paragraph and the second paragraph.

The first section of the tipping paper has a second opening therein covering the rod end section of the filter wrapper such that rotation of the first section causes the second opening to rotate to vary the degree of alignment with the first opening in the rod end section , thereby changing the level of dilution obtained during smoking. A second section of tipping paper extends from the first section to a location on the tobacco rod and bonds the tobacco rod to the filter rod.

US-A-3,519,000公开了一种具有空气与烟气比率控制阀的通气烟斗,所述空气与烟气比率控制阀包括阀体和附接到阀头的阀杆。阀体相对于阀杆可旋转,以改变来自烟斗中的香烟的烟气和环境空气在形成于阀头中的混合室中混合的程度。阀杆的外表面上的指示标记用作与形成在阀体表面上的刻度尺标记一起使用的参考标记,用于指示在阀杆和阀体的不同相对旋转位置处感受的空气与烟气比率的大小。刻度尺标记关于烟斗的纵轴不对称。阀头相对于阀体的顺时针旋转导致烟气入口闭合,并且空气入口打开,以增大空气与烟气的比率,而阀头相对于阀体的逆时针旋转导致烟气入口打开,并且空气入口闭合,以减小空气与烟气的比率。在阀头旋转的极限位置处,相应的一个入口开口完全闭合,并且另一个完全打开。US-A-3,519,000 discloses a venting pipe with an air to smoke ratio control valve comprising a valve body and a valve stem attached to the valve head. The valve body is rotatable relative to the valve stem to vary the degree to which smoke from cigarettes in the pipe and ambient air mix in a mixing chamber formed in the valve head. The indicator marks on the outer surface of the valve stem are used as reference marks for use with the scale markings formed on the surface of the valve body to indicate the air to smoke ratio felt at different relative rotational positions of the valve stem and valve body the size of. The scale markings are asymmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the pipe. Clockwise rotation of the valve head relative to the valve body causes the flue gas inlet to close and the air inlet to open to increase the air to smoke ratio, while counterclockwise rotation of the valve head relative to the valve body causes the flue gas inlet to open and the air The inlet is closed to reduce the air to smoke ratio. At the extreme position of the valve head rotation, the respective one inlet opening is fully closed and the other is fully opened.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

图1到5中所示的过滤嘴香烟具有若干共同的部件,并且这些部件具有相同的附图标记。The filter cigarettes shown in Figures 1 to 5 have several common parts and these parts have the same reference numerals.

参照图1,根据本发明第一实施例的具有可变通气性的过滤嘴香烟10基本上包括由可发烟材料构成的纵长圆柱状包裹的杆1,其在一端附接到轴向对准的纵长圆柱状烟嘴3。Referring to Figure 1, a filter cigarette 10 with variable ventilation according to a first embodiment of the present invention basically comprises an elongated cylindrically wrapped rod 1 of smokable material attached at one end to an axially aligned Longitudinal cylindrical cigarette holder 3.

烟嘴3包括围绕过滤嘴香烟10的纵轴可旋转的元件(未示出)。如下面参照图3到5中所示的根据本发明第三实施例的具有可变通气性的过滤嘴香烟进一步详述的,烟嘴3的可旋转元件相对于过滤嘴香烟10的其余部分可旋转,以改变过滤嘴香烟10在其吸烟过程中获得的通气性。The mouthpiece 3 comprises an element (not shown) rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarette 10 . As further detailed below with reference to a filter cigarette with variable ventilation according to a third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. The ventilation achieved by the filter cigarette 10 during its smoking is varied.

过滤嘴香烟10还包括通气性指示器或量具5,其允许使用者选择吸烟过程中获得的香烟的通气水平,并且因此选择递送给消费者的风味水平。通气性指示器5包括三角形指针7和刻度尺9。三角形指针7设置在烟嘴3的可旋转元件的外部上。但是,将意识到,其中刻度尺9设置在烟嘴3的可旋转元件的外部上的替代结构也是可能的。The filter cigarette 10 also includes a breathability indicator or gauge 5 which allows the user to select the level of ventilation of the cigarette obtained during smoking, and thus the level of flavor delivered to the consumer. The air permeability indicator 5 includes a triangular pointer 7 and a scale 9 . A triangular pointer 7 is arranged on the outside of the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 . However, it will be appreciated that alternative arrangements are possible in which the scale 9 is provided on the outside of the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 .

刻度尺9包括多个具有不同长度的沿周向间隔开的条,其基本上平行于过滤嘴10的纵轴延伸。使用中,三角形指针7沿刻度尺9的位置指示烟嘴3的可旋转元件相对于过滤嘴香烟10的其余部分的旋转程度,并且因此指示过滤嘴香烟10的吸烟过程中可获得的通气水平,由三角形指针7和刻度尺9上的纵向对准点之间的纵向距离指示通气水平。The scale 9 comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced bars of different lengths, which extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the filter 10 . In use, the position of the triangular pointer 7 along the scale 9 indicates the degree of rotation of the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 relative to the rest of the filter cigarette 10, and thus the level of ventilation achievable during smoking of the filter cigarette 10, indicated by the triangular pointer The longitudinal distance between 7 and the longitudinally aligned point on the scale 9 indicates the level of ventilation.

如前面所描述的,三角形指针7和刻度尺9可触知的,以使消费者能够通过触摸以及通过视觉或者说除了通过视觉之外还通过触摸来选择期望的通气水平。As previously described, the triangular pointer 7 and the scale 9 are tactile to enable the consumer to select the desired ventilation level by touch as well as by sight or by touch in addition to sight.

刻度尺9关于过滤嘴香烟10的纵轴对称。在所示的实施例中,刻度尺9的中央处的条最短,刻度尺端部处的条最长。这表明,消费者可顺时针或逆时针旋转烟嘴3的可旋转元件和三角形指针7,以获得相同的通气水平。消费者可通过相对于过滤嘴香烟10的其余部分旋转烟嘴3的可旋转元件,以使三角形指针7与刻度尺9的特定的条纵向对准,来选择期望的通气水平。The scale 9 is symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarette 10 . In the embodiment shown, the bars at the center of the scale 9 are shortest and the bars at the ends of the scale are longest. This shows that the consumer can rotate the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 and the triangular pointer 7 clockwise or counterclockwise to obtain the same level of ventilation. The consumer can select the desired ventilation level by rotating the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 relative to the rest of the filter cigarette 10 so that the triangular pointer 7 is longitudinally aligned with a particular bar of the scale 9 .

在图1中所示的实施例中,当三角形指针7与刻度尺9的最短条对准时,三角形指针7和刻度尺9上的纵向对准点之间的纵向距离处于指示高通气水平的最大值。当旋转烟嘴3的可旋转元件来使得三角形指针7与刻度尺9的最短条对准时,三角形指针7和刻度尺9上的纵向对准点之间的纵向距离处于指示低通气水平的最小值。In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, when the triangular pointer 7 is aligned with the shortest bar of the scale 9, the longitudinal distance between the triangular pointer 7 and the longitudinally aligned point on the scale 9 is at a maximum value indicating a high ventilation level . When the rotatable element of the mouthpiece 3 is rotated so that the triangular pointer 7 is aligned with the shortest bar of the scale 9, the longitudinal distance between the triangular pointer 7 and the longitudinally aligned point on the scale 9 is at a minimum value indicating a low ventilation level.

将意识到,根据本发明的过滤嘴香烟可以替代地包括具有指针和刻度尺的通气性指示器,其中,指针和刻度尺上的纵向对准点之间的最小纵向距离指示低通气水平,指针和刻度尺上的纵向对准点之间的最大纵向距离指示高通气水平。It will be appreciated that filter cigarettes according to the present invention may alternatively include a breathability indicator having a pointer and a scale, wherein a minimum longitudinal distance between longitudinally aligned points on the pointer and scale indicates a low level of ventilation, the pointer and scale The maximum longitudinal distance between longitudinally aligned points on the ruler indicates a high ventilation level.

还将意识到,根据本发明的过滤嘴香烟可包括具有指针和刻度尺的通气性指示器,其中,指针与刻度尺中央处的点的对准指示低通气水平,指针与刻度尺端部处的点的对准指示高通气水平。It will also be appreciated that filter cigarettes according to the present invention may include a ventilation indicator having a pointer and a scale, wherein alignment of the pointer with a point at the center of the scale indicates a low level of ventilation, and alignment of the pointer with a point at the end of the scale. Alignment of dots indicates high ventilation levels.

根据图2中所示的本发明第二实施例的过滤嘴香烟20的通气性指示器与根据本发明的第一实施例的过滤嘴香烟10大部分相同,但是包括三角形指针7和关于过滤嘴香烟20的纵轴对称的刻度尺9,所述刻度尺9包括具有接近指针的V形边缘的标识。The breathability indicator of the filter cigarette 20 according to the second embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. A longitudinally symmetrical scale 9 comprising a mark with a V-shaped edge close to the pointer.

图3显示了根据本发明第三实施例的过滤嘴香烟30,其具有用于改变吸烟过程中获得的通气水平的一个适当机构。Figure 3 shows a filter cigarette 30 according to a third embodiment of the invention with a suitable mechanism for varying the level of ventilation obtained during smoking.

该实施例的过滤嘴香烟30的烟嘴3包括单过滤嘴段31,所述单段过滤嘴与包裹的烟草杆1相邻并且抵接包裹的烟草杆1。The mouthpiece 3 of the filter cigarette 30 of this embodiment comprises a single filter segment 31 adjacent to and abutting the wrapped tobacco rod 1 .

过滤嘴段31长度可以是27mm,并且由高效率醋酸纤维素棒构成,所述过滤嘴段31沿其整个长度由不透气的过滤嘴包装纸33环绕。过滤嘴包装纸33包括一对相对的长开口35,其距离过滤嘴的嘴端约15mm设置,并且每一个环绕过滤嘴沿周向延伸约90度。图3中,仅长开口中的一个可见,并且,实际上,可仅需要单个长开口35。The filter segment 31 may be 27 mm in length and is constructed from a high efficiency cellulose acetate rod surrounded by an air impermeable filter wrapper 33 along its entire length. The filter wrapper 33 includes a pair of opposed elongated openings 35, which are located about 15 mm from the mouth end of the filter and each extend about 90 degrees circumferentially around the filter. In Fig. 3, only one of the long openings is visible, and, in practice, only a single long opening 35 may be required.

包裹的烟草杆1和过滤嘴段31由接装纸37的杆端段连接,杆端段长度为10mm,并且环绕过滤嘴段31的一部分和包裹的烟草杆1的相邻部分。接装纸32的嘴端段在其嘴端处环绕过滤嘴段31,并且长度可为12mm。杆端段37和嘴端段32都通过粘合剂固定在位。Wrapped tobacco rod 1 and filter segment 31 are connected by a rod end section of tipping paper 37 which is 10 mm in length and which surrounds a portion of filter segment 31 and an adjacent portion of wrapped tobacco rod 1 . The mouth end section of the tipping paper 32 surrounds the filter section 31 at its mouth end and may be 12 mm in length. Both the rod end section 37 and the mouth end section 32 are held in place by adhesive.

接装纸套筒34位于接装纸的杆端段37和嘴端段32之间,其环绕过滤嘴,并且抵接杆端段37和嘴端段32。套筒34在该实施例中为烟嘴的可旋转元件,不粘附到过滤嘴包装纸,因此可围绕过滤嘴香烟30的纵轴自由旋转。杆端段37和嘴端段32用作止动部,用于防止套筒34的任何轴向移动。套筒34长度可为12mm,包括一对相对的长开口39,所述相对的长开口39距离过滤嘴的嘴端约15mm设置,并且每一个沿周向围绕过滤嘴延伸约90度。图3中,仅长开口之一可见,并且实际上可仅需要单个长开口39。A tipping paper sleeve 34 is positioned between the tipping paper stem end section 37 and the mouth end section 32 , which surrounds the filter and abuts the stem end section 37 and the mouth end section 32 . The sleeve 34 , which in this embodiment is the rotatable element of the mouthpiece, is not adhered to the filter wrapper and is therefore free to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the filter cigarette 30 . The rod end section 37 and the mouth end section 32 act as stops for preventing any axial movement of the sleeve 34 . The sleeve 34 may be 12 mm in length and includes a pair of opposed elongated openings 39 positioned approximately 15 mm from the mouth end of the filter and each extending approximately 90 degrees circumferentially around the filter. In Fig. 3 only one of the long openings is visible, and in practice only a single long opening 39 may be required.

如图4和5中所示,套筒39相对于下面的过滤嘴包装纸33的角度位置可改变,从而改变通气水平,并且因此改变对过滤嘴香烟30的吸烟过程中获得的主流烟气的空气稀释水平。这通过选择过滤嘴包装纸中的开口35与套筒34中的开口39的对准程度来获得。As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the angular position of the sleeve 39 relative to the underlying filter wrapper 33 can be varied to vary the level of ventilation and thus the air dilution of the mainstream smoke obtained during smoking of the filter cigarette 30 level. This is achieved by selecting the degree of alignment of the opening 35 in the filter wrapper with the opening 39 in the sleeve 34 .

图4显示了处于高通气性“打开位置”中的过滤嘴香烟30,其中,套筒34旋转到使其中的开口39完全与下面的过滤嘴包装纸33中的开口35对准的位置。在该“打开”位置中,过滤嘴包装纸33中的开口35完全未被覆盖。因此在“打开”位置中过滤嘴香烟30的吸烟过程中,可获得主流烟气的高的空气稀释水平。Figure 4 shows a filter cigarette 30 in a high-ventilation "open position" in which the sleeve 34 is rotated to a position where the opening 39 therein is fully aligned with the opening 35 in the underlying filter wrapper 33 . In this "open" position, the opening 35 in the filter wrapper 33 is completely uncovered. Thus during smoking of the filter cigarette 30 in the "open" position a high level of air dilution of the mainstream smoke can be obtained.

图5显示了处于低通气性“闭合”位置中的过滤嘴香烟30,其中,套筒34旋转到使过滤嘴包装纸33中的开口35完全被套筒34覆盖的位置。在该“闭合”位置中,不透气过滤嘴包装纸33中的开口基本上被套筒密封。因此在“闭合”位置中香烟30的吸烟过程中,获得主流烟气的低的空气稀释水平。FIG. 5 shows the filter cigarette 30 in the hypoventilation "closed" position, wherein the sleeve 34 is rotated to a position such that the opening 35 in the filter wrapper 33 is completely covered by the sleeve 34 . In this "closed" position, the opening in the air impermeable filter wrapper 33 is substantially sealed by the sleeve. Thus during smoking of the cigarette 30 in the "closed" position a low level of air dilution of the mainstream smoke is obtained.

在“打开”位置中,由于高通气水平,因此主流烟气的空气稀释水平高,相反地,在“闭合”位置中,由于低通气水平,主流烟气的空气稀释水平低。因而,获得的通气性通过套筒的旋转有效地改变。In the "open" position the air dilution level of the mainstream smoke is high due to the high ventilation level, conversely in the "closed" position the air dilution level of the mainstream smoke is low due to the low ventilation level. Thus, the air permeability obtained is effectively changed by the rotation of the sleeve.

过滤嘴香烟30还包括通气性指示器5(未示出),与图1和2中所示的那些一样,所述指示器5包括指针7和刻度尺9,指针7和刻度尺9中的一个设置在套筒34的外部上,指针7和刻度尺9中的另一个设置在接装纸的杆端段37上或接装纸的嘴端段32上。The filter cigarette 30 also includes a breathability indicator 5 (not shown), like those shown in Figures 1 and 2, said indicator 5 comprising a pointer 7 and a scale 9, one of Arranged on the outside of the sleeve 34, the other of the pointer 7 and the scale 9 is arranged on the stem end section 37 of the tipping paper or on the mouth end section 32 of the tipping paper.

为了形成根据本发明第三实施例的可变通气性的过滤嘴香烟30,可以传统方式生产包裹的过滤嘴段31和包裹的烟草杆1。使用预穿孔的一片接装纸来形成杆端段37和嘴端段32以及套筒34。该层接装纸包括距离一端10mm的第一排穿孔,其必须被破坏来形成嘴端段;和距离第一排穿孔12mm的第二排穿孔,其必须被破坏来将中央段和杆端段分开。如果优选的话,如传统制造工艺中,可使用双倍长度的接装纸。一个或多个特别成型的导向装置结合到传统的香烟制造设备中,用于破坏接装纸中的穿孔线,并且确保其胶接到香烟上的正确位置中。也可结合另外的切割刀来切割一条或多条穿孔线。所有穿孔线在制造过程中同时或在不同步骤被破坏,以确保提供给消费者的香烟已经备好可用,套筒已经能够围绕过滤嘴自由地并且容易地旋转。一旦当过滤嘴香烟已经组装后,过滤嘴包装纸和套筒中的开口使用激光同时形成。To form a variable-ventilation filter cigarette 30 according to the third embodiment of the invention, the wrapped filter segment 31 and the wrapped tobacco rod 1 can be produced in a conventional manner. A pre-perforated piece of tipping paper is used to form the rod end section 37 and mouth end section 32 and sleeve 34 . This ply of tipping paper includes a first row of perforations 10mm from one end that must be broken to form the mouth end section; and a second row of perforations 12mm from the first row of perforations that must be broken to separate the center section and the stem end section. separate. If preferred, double length tipping paper may be used, as in conventional manufacturing processes. One or more specially shaped guides are incorporated into conventional cigarette manufacturing equipment to break the perforation lines in the tipping paper and ensure that it is glued in the correct position on the cigarette. Additional cutting knives may also be combined to cut one or more perforation lines. All perforation lines are broken simultaneously or at different steps during the manufacturing process to ensure that the cigarettes presented to the consumer are ready for use and the sleeve has been able to rotate freely and easily around the filter. Once the filter cigarette has been assembled, the filter wrapper and the opening in the sleeve are simultaneously formed using a laser.
