Wrappage 10 includes internal layer 11 and filter plug wrap（plug wrap）12.Wrappage 10 is constructed such that internal layer 11 are positioned close to smoking product element 5 and recess 6 and filter plug wrap 12 is positioned close to outer wrap part 4. In a kind of embodiment, filter plug wrap 12 is permeable and a part for smoking product element 5 can not ooze The internal layer 11 of air permeable limits, and to allow vent air, radially direction enters in smoking product element 5.

The internal layer 11 of wrappage 10 includes Heat Conduction Material, due to internal layer 11 by heat from the periphery of smoking product element 5 and recessed The hotter area in portion 6 is transmitted to its cooler regions, so the Heat Conduction Material contributes in the periphery of smoking product element 5 and recess Heat distribution evenly on 6.Therefore, heat conduction internal layer 11 contributes to the temperature of balanced smoking product element 5 and recess 6.

Wrappage 10 is manufactured by the composite web 13 shown in Fig. 3.Composite web 13 includes using the form of paper slip 14 Lapping bar 14 and using the form of aluminium foil 15 heat-conducting layer 15.Paper slip 14 forms the filter plug wrap 12 of wrappage 10, and And heat-conducting layer 15 forms internal layer 11.Heat-conducting layer 15 is placed on the inner surface 14A of paper slip 14.

Paper slip 14 includes first and second parallel longitudinal edge 16A, 16B and with the first and second longitudinal edge The width W1 extended between 16A, 16B.

Heat-conducting layer 15 includes multiple conductive patch 17.Each conductive patch 17 is being somewhat rectangular in and including parallel First and second edge 18A, 18B.In the present embodiment, each conductive patch 17 manufactures by aluminium foil.It should be appreciated, however, that Arrive, in other embodiments of the invention, conductive patch 17 can be formed by different Heat Conduction Materials, such as different types of gold Belong to paper tinsel, such as silver foil, or metal foiled paper, such as aluminium or silver-colored paper.

The multiple conductive patch 17 is placed on paper slip 14 and is spaced apart to create along the longitudinal direction of paper slip 14 Multiple discontinuous sections of Heat Conduction Material.Conductive patch 17 is fixed to paper slip 14 by binding agent.Alternatively or additionally Ground, conductive patch 17 can be in turn laminated to paper slip 14.

The second edge 18B of each conductive patch 17 extend to the second longitudinal direction edge 16B of paper slip 14 and superimposition this Two longitudinal edge 16B.Each conductive patch 17 has what is extended between first and second edge 18A, 18B of conductive patch 17 Width W2.In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the width W2 of each conductive patch 17 is less than the width W1 of paper slip 14, so that often The first longitudinal direction edge 16A that the first edge 18A of individual conductive patch 17 is adjacent with paper slip 14 is spaced apart.Therefore, paper slip 14 The inner surface 14A part between the first longitudinal direction edge 16A of paper slip 14 and the first edge 18A of conductive patch 17 not by Conductive patch 17 covers, and is alternatively formed unmasked portion 19.Longitudinal direction of the unmasked portion 19 of paper slip 14 along paper slip 14 Direction extends incessantly.

In the present embodiment, the difference between the width W1 of paper slip 14 and the width W2 of each conductive patch 17 is 1 to 10mm Between, and preferably 3 between 7mm so that the width of uncovered area 19 1 between 10mm and preferably 3 To between 7mm.In one embodiment, the width W1 of paper slip 12 between 19mm, and the width of each conductive patch 17 W2 is 11 between 17mm.It should be appreciated, however, that each difference between width W1, W2 and width W1, W2 can be with institute above State difference.In one embodiment, the width W2 of each conductive patch 17 is more than the girth of smoking product element 5, so that conduction Paster 17 wraps around the whole periphery of smoking product element 5（subtend）And first and second edge 18A, 18B are around suction Tobacco product element 5 is overlapping.In an alternative embodiment, the width W2 of each conductive patch 17 generally with smoking product element 5 Girth it is identical so that conductive patch 17 around smoking product element 5 whole periphery wrapping and the first and second edges 18A, 18B are abutted, and are described in more detail below as shown in Figure 6.It should be noted that paper slip 14 surrounds the first and second smokings Article element 5A, 5B girth by flushing are placed against and remain adhered to the first conductive patch 17A and overlapping/adjacent It is not separated to connect areas adjacent, as shown in Figure 6.

In alternate embodiment（It is not shown）In, the width W1 of paper slip 14 is equal to the width W2 of each conductive patch 17. In such embodiment, the first longitudinal direction edge 16A of the first longitudinal direction edge 18A superimposition paper slip 14 of each conductive patch 17, and And the second longitudinal direction edge 16B of the second longitudinal direction edge 18B superimposition paper slip 14 of each conductive patch 17, so that composite web 13 The uncovered area not being included between first longitudinal direction edge 16A, 18A.

With reference to figure 4, first and second smoking product part 3A, 3B of manufacture according to an embodiment of the invention side is shown Method.

At step S1, the continuous cylindrical part of smoking product element material is cut to form the of double length One and second bar 20A, 20B.At step S2, first and second bar 20A, 20B are positioned such that they are axially spaced apart from each other Open.

At step S3, the first bar 20A is positioned in composite web 13（As shown in Figure 5）On, so that positioned at compound The overlapping first conductive patch 17A at the free end 13A of mesh 13 and end.Also at step S3, the second bar 20B is oriented to So that the overlapping first conductive patch 17A in end and opposed end overlapping adjacent but spaced apart with the first conductive patch 17A Two conductive patch 17B.First and second bar 20A, 20B are axially spaced on composite web 13.Step S2 can be omitted, And first and second bar 20A, 20B can be supplied in the apart from one after another on continuous composite web 13 and open.

At step S4, along an edge of composite web 13, particularly in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, along The free end 13A close to composite web 13 of the unmasked portion 19 of paper slip 14 region, apply binding agent, it is viscous to be formed Attached region 19A.

At step S5, composite web 13 wraps up around first and second bar 20A, 20B, so that adhesive area 19A weights The outer surface 14B of stacker bar 14 part and adhered to by binding agent and its（As shown in Figure 6）.Example shown is implemented One advantage of the setting of example is, because adhesive area 19A includes the portion of the inner surface 14A of paper slip 14 unmasked portion 19 Point（It is formed by the outer surface 14B identical materials with paper slip 14）, so the situation phase formed with them by not similar material Than, it is easier to by unmasked portion 19 adhere to paper slip 14 outer surface 14B and combine more firmly and/or can use weaker Binding agent or less binding agent.For example, if paper slip 14 did not included unmasked portion 19 alternatively, then first and The aluminium foil of two conductive patch 17A, 17B will need to be adhered to the paper outer surface 14B of paper slip 14 and therefore adhesive will provide Weaker combination.Therefore, the smoking product 1 obtained will be not sufficiently strong, although the binding agent of incrementss and/or stronger can be used Binding agent alleviate this problem.

The width W2 of first and second conductive patch 17A, 17B can be identical with first and second bar 20A, 20B girth, So that the first and second conductive patch 17A, 17B extend around corresponding first and second bars 20A, 20B whole girth, so that Its first and second edge 18A, 18B adjoining, as shown in Figure 6.In another embodiment, first and second paster 17A, 17B Width W2 be more than first and second bar 20A, 20B girth so that each the in the first and second conductive patch 17A, 17B One is overlapping with second edge 18A, 18B.

At step S5A, the bar 20A of composite web 13 and first is along the first line of cut（In figure 3 by chain-dotted line ' A-A ' Show）It is cut.The longitudinal direction of first line of cut A-A and paper slip 14 vertically extends and positioned at the first bar 20A center Locate, parallel to the free end 13A of composite web 13.When the bar 20A of composite web 13 and first is along the first line of cut A-A quilts During cutting, the remainder of the section and composite web 13 at the 13A of free end of half the first bar 20A and composite web 13 Separation.

At step S6, composite web 13 is along the second line of cut（Shown in figure 3 by chain-dotted line ' B-B '）It is cut. The longitudinal direction of second line of cut B-B and paper slip 14 vertically extend and positioned at the second bar 20B middle, first and the Midway between two conductive patch 17A, 17B（half-way）.When the second bar 20B is cut along the second line of cut B-B, the Two bar 20B are divided into close to the first smoking product element 5A but the second smoking product element 5B spaced away and away from the One smoking product element 5A the 3rd smoking product element（It is not shown）.Therefore, the end sections of composite web 13 with it is continuous The remainder of composite web 13 separates and limits first and second smoking product element 5A, 5B, to form tubulose knot Structure 21（Figure 7 illustrates）.It will be noted that shown in schematic diagram different from Fig. 7, paper slip 14 in the remote of tubular structure 21 Part at end by flushing be placed against first and second smoking product element 5A, 5B and not as illustrated in fig. 7 with It is separated by.

The above-mentioned cutting of composite web 13 causes to be known as that " two together（2-up）" bar tubular structure 21, i.e., its be Two smoking product element 5A, 5B and it is combined together by the section of composite web 13, it finally can be by hemisection Cut to provide two single smoking product parts.However, in the alternate embodiment of the present invention, the second line of cut B-B It can be generated being spaced apart with the first bar 20A at the bar of one or more bars.This will cause tubular element 21 to include each other First smoking product element 5A and the second smoking product element 5B spaced apart, and have therebetween one or more double The bar of length, and it is spaced away.Such tubular element is known as that " four together（4-up）", " six together（6- up）", " eight together（8-up）" etc. bar.

At step S7, the composite web 13 of tubular structure 21 is along the 3rd line of cut（In figure 3 by chain-dotted line ' C- C ' is shown）It is cut, to form first and second smoking product element wrappage 10A, 10B, it limits first and the respectively Two smoking product element 5A, 5B.The longitudinal direction of 3rd line of cut C-C and paper slip 14 vertically extends and positioned at the first conduction It is paster 17A middle, equidistant with first and second smoking product element 5A, 5B.
