Abstract

There is provided a smoke mouthpiece (1) for the dilution of smoke from a smoking element, such as a cigarette (11), to an exhaust region (7), comprising an internal longitudinal channel with openings at both ends and divided into 5 channel sections, wherein a first channel section (2) is provided in the first end of the smoking mouthpiece (1) with an opening for insertion of the smoking element (11), where a second channel section (3) for holding the smoking element (11) is in axial extension of the first channel section (2) with a smaller cross-section than the first channel section (2), where a third channel section (4) is in axial extension of the second channel section (3) to stop the end of the cigarette, where a fourth channel section (5) for diluting the smoke of the smoking element is in axial extension of the third channel section (4), where a fifth channel section (6) is provided at the other end of the smoking mouthpiece (1) in axial extension of the fourth channel section (5), wherein one or more air channels (8), (8 ), (8 ) are provided in the one or more channel sections for diluting the smoke of the smoking element with atmospheric air, said air channel(s) (8), (8 ), (8 ) ensure passage of atmospheric air from the first channel section (2) to the fourth channel section (5) when the smoking element (11) is in place in the second channel section.

Claims

1. A smoke mouthpiece (1) for the dilution of smoke from a smoking element (11) to an exhaust region (7), comprising an internal longitudinal channel with openings at both ends and divided into 5 channel sections, wherein • a first channel section (2) is provided in the first end of the smoking mouthpiece (1) with an opening for insertion of the smoking element (11), • a second channel section (3) for holding the smoking element (11) is in axial extension of the first channel section (2) with a smaller cross-section than the first channel section (2), • a third channel section (4) is in axial extension of the second channel section (3), • a fourth channel section (5) for diluting the smoke of the smoking element is in axial extension of the third channel section (4), • a fifth channel section (6) is provided at the other end of the smoking mouthpiece (1) in axial extension of the fourth channel section (5), wherein one or more air channels (8), (8 '), (8") are provided in the one or more channel sections for diluting the smoke of the smoking element with atmospheric air, said air channel(s) (8), (8'), (8") ensure passage of atmospheric air from the first channel section (2) to the fourth channel section (5) when the smoking element (11) is in place in the second channel section.

2. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to claim 1, wherein the one or more air channels (8), (8'), (8") are provided through the second channel section (3) and the third channel section (4), said air channel(s) (8), ( 8'), (8") open towards the first channel section (2) and the fourth channel section (5).

3. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to claim 1, wherein the one or more air channels (8), (8'), (8") are provided through the second channel section (3), said air channel(s) (8), (8'), (8") open towards the first channel section (2) and the third channel section (4).

4. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-3, wherein the one or more air channels (8') constitute longitudinal openings, designed as depressions or grooves on the inside of one or more channel section(s).

5. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-3, wherein the one or more air channels (8) are closed and hence take the form of holes.

6. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-3, wherein the one or more air channels (8") entirely penetrate the mouthpiece (1) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mouth piece (1).

7. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-6, wherein the one or more air channels (8), (8') and (8") are hermetically closed with a suitable material, such as wood, plastic, rubber, metal or the like.

8. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-7, wherein the first channel section (2), the second channel section (3), the third channel section (4), the fourth channel section (5) and/or the fifth channel section (6) is cylindrical, oval or conical.

9. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-8, wherein the exterior design of the smoke mouthpiece (1) is cylindrical and/or oval and/or conical.

10. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-9, wherein the fifth channel section (6) has a cross section of approx. 0.01 to 8.0 mm2 a preferred cross section of approx. 0.2 to 1.8 mm2, and a most preferred cross-section of approx. 0.5 to 1.1 mm2.

11. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-10, wherein the inside of the second channel section (3) is rounded or sloped (9) at the transition to the first channel section (2), for easier insertion of the smoking element (11) in the second channel section (3).

12. Asmoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-11, wherein one or more edges on the inside of the fourth channel section (5) are rounded to reduce smoke residuals.

13. A smoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-12, wherein the smoking mouthpiece (1) is surface treated and/or dyed.

14. Asmoke mouthpiece (1) according to any one of the claims 1-13, wherein the smoking mouthpiece (1) is included in a series of several smoke mouthpieces having different smoke dilution ratios.
