- a liquid such as water or an aqueous solution having a flavor-emitting additive dissolved in water
- a smoking article such as a filter-tipped cigarette when the smoking article is smoked
- the liquid is previously encapsulated into a capsule to be incorporated into a filter body, and a user breaks the capsule before smoking the smoking article, to allow the liquid to gush out from the capsule and permeate into the filter.
- the user applies force externally to the capsule by holding, between his/her fingers, the capsule from outside the filter, to break the capsule.
- Capsules made of polysaccharide such as gelatin are, however, soluble in water and are not suited for encapsulating hydrophilic liquids, and the use of such water-soluble capsules is generally restricted to encapsulation of hydrophobic flavorings.
- capsules made of synthetic resin are insoluble in water, are suited for encapsulating hydrophilic liquids and have excellent shape stability.
- various means stated below have been contrived to facilitate breaking of the capsules.
- a plurality of long radial grooves are formed in one end wall of the capsule, and when the capsule is applied externally with a crushing force, the grooves split off and allow the liquid contained in the capsule to gush out (Patent Document 1).
- a capsule may be provided with a seal so that when the capsule is applied with external force, the seal may be broken to allow the liquid contained in the capsule to gush out (Patent Document 2).
- a capsule which is obtained by fitting two capsule halves together via an annular seal, and when the capsule is squeezed, the seal is broken and allows the liquid contained in the capsule to gush out (Patent Document 3).

- FIG. 1B illustrates the capsule CA-1 taken out of the filter FL-1 of the cigarette CG.
- the cigarette CG which is a filter-tipped cigarette as shown in FIG. 1A , is constituted by a cigarette body 100 obtained by rolling shredded tobacco in thin paper into a rod shape, and the filter FL-1 disposed at one end of the cigarette body 100.
- the filter FL-1 has a filter body constituted by a flexible casing 201 and two rod-shaped filter elements 202 and 203 accommodated in the interior of the casing 201.
- the casing 201 is obtained, for example, by rolling a sheet material into a tubular shape and gluing overlapping edges of the rolled sheet material together.
- the cigarette body 100 and the filter LF-1 are connected together by tip paper 101 wound around both of the filter FL-1 and a part of the cigarette body 100, to obtain a single filter-tipped cigarette CG.
- a first filter section 202 serving as a first filter element and a second filter section 203 serving as a second filter element are disposed within the casing 201 and set apart from each other so as to be located at the opposite ends of the casing 201.
- the filter sections 202 and 203 may be made of the same filter material as that ordinarily used in filter-tipped cigarettes, namely, acetate fiber, and may further contain charcoal. Alternatively, paper filter may be used for that purpose.
- the filter sections 202 and 203 may be made of the same material or of different materials.
- the filter body is constituted by the first filter section 202, the second filter section 203, and the accommodation space 204 located between the first and second filter sections.
- the capsule CA-1 is disposed in the interior of the accommodation space 204.
- the capsule CA-1 has a hollow, generally tubular (columnar) shape, and a liquid is encapsulated in the capsule CA-1.
- the capsule CA-1 has a side wall, or peripheral wall 10 forming the side surface, or peripheral surface, of the tubular shape and a pair of end walls 11 and 12 closing the opposite, front and rear openings of the tubular shape, respectively, and a liquid is contained in the capsule CA-1.
- the peripheral wall 10 is made of a synthetic material that is at least elastically deformable.
- the end walls 11 and 12 may be made of the same material as that of the peripheral wall 10, but the material to be used is not particularly limited insofar as it is able to securely close the openings of the tubular peripheral wall 10.
- Synthetic materials preferred to constitute the peripheral wall 10 include plastic materials used for food packaging and may be selected from the group comprising polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl alcohol and polyamide, by way of example.
- end walls 11 and 12 may be made of the same material as the peripheral wall 10
- a film material such as laminated film may be used to close the openings of the tubular peripheral wall 10 by heat sealing.
- the film may be bonded to the opening edges of the peripheral wall 10 by a thermoplastic adhesive.
- hot-melt adhesive containing, as its main agents, an adhesive polyolefin resin, a low-molecular-weight polyethylene and EVA (ethylene vinyl alcohol) may be used, for example.
- the liquid to be encapsulated in the capsule CA-1 is not particularly limited and a suitable liquid capable of improving the taste and flavor of cigarettes may be selected.
- a suitable liquid capable of improving the taste and flavor of cigarettes may be selected.
- any of water, hydrophilic flavorings and hydrophobic flavorings may be used.

- the liquid may be mixed with a chemical solution for preventing deterioration, where necessary.
- minute solids such as microcapsules (perfume capsules) having perfume encapsulated therein may be used as the liquid, and such perfume capsules may be suspended in water to be used as the liquid.
- a water-resistant sheet material is used for at least one of the casing 201 and the tip paper 101 so that the liquid may be prevented from leaking to the outside.
- the filter FL-1 for use with the cigarette CG is equipped with the capsule CA-1 that breaks easily when applied with external force by a user (the force with which the filter is picked between the user's fingers).
- the filter FL-1 has a rod-like (generally cylindrical) shape corresponding to the shape of the cigarette body 100, and the capsule CA-1 is disposed within the accommodation space 204 between the filter sections 202 and 203.
- the peripheral wall 10 of the capsule CA-1 has an easy-to-break structure such that the capsule CA-1 easily breaks when applied with such external forces.
- the peripheral wall 10 has a thin-walled region, as described below.
- the thin-walled region is a region of which the wall thickness is smaller than the other region so that the thin-walled region may be easier to break than the other region applied with stress.
- the thin-walled region is a grooved region having a V-shaped groove.
- the peripheral wall 10 has at least one ring-shaped main thin-walled region 10a (in FIGS. 1A and 1B , four thin-walled regions) extending in a peripheral direction, or circumferential direction, of the capsule CA-1 and having a linear shape.
- the tubular capsule CA-1 is disposed within the space 204 such that the axis of the capsule CA-1 lies along the axis of the filter.
- the ring-shaped thin-walled regions 10a extend in such a direction that when the filter FL-1 is picked and applied with radial external forces F, the thin-walled regions 10a are parallel with the direction in which the external forces F are applied.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the capsule CA-1 applied with such external forces F.
- the peripheral wall 10 of the capsule CA-1 has the main thin-walled region 10a (in the figure, four thin-walled regions) directed parallel to the direction of application of the external forces F. Since the main thin-walled regions 10a are provided, the capsule CA-1 is deformed progressively as the external forces are applied, and when the stress acting in bent portions 13 where stress is concentrated due to the bending exceeds a certain value, the capsule CA-1 breaks as illustrated. The pressure in the capsule CA-1 rises with the application of the external forces F, and therefore, forces directed perpendicularly to the direction of application of the external forces F are generated in the capsule CA-1. Consequently, the main thin-walled regions 10a directed parallel to the direction of application of the external forces F are broken easily.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an improvement example of the capsule, wherein the capsule is provided not only with the ring-shaped main thin-walled regions 10a but also with straight sub thin-walled regions 10b perpendicular to the main thin-walled regions 10a.
- the main thin-walled regions 10a are each in the form of a ring; on the other hand, the sub thin-walled regions 10b are each in the form of a straight line extending along the axis CL of the capsule perpendicularly to the peripheral direction in which the main thin-walled regions 10a extend.
- the main thin-walled regions 10a and the straight sub thin-walled regions 10b need not be continuous regions. That is, the thin-walled regions may be non-continuous regions having discontinuities in part thereof (where the wall thickness is not reduced).
- FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary capsule of which the ring-shaped main thin-walled regions 10a have discontinuities 14.
- the capsule illustrated in FIG. 3 may also be configured such that the main thin-walled regions 10a and the sub thin-walled regions 10b each have similar discontinuities.
- either the main thin-walled regions 10a or the sub thin-walled regions 10b or both of them may be provided with the discontinuities.
- each thin-walled region may be in the form of a broken line having regularly spaced breaks or irregularly spaced breaks.
- a filter FL-2 equipped with a capsule CA-2 according to a second embodiment, for use with the cigarette CG, will be described below with reference to the drawings.
- like reference signs refer to like elements, and description of the elements already explained above will be omitted. The following description is focused on the differences between the first and second embodiments.
- FIG. 5A illustrates an exemplary case where the filter FL-2 equipped with the capsule according to the invention is used with a cigarette CG.
- FIG. 5B illustrates the capsule CA-2 taken out of the filter FL-2.
- the exemplary capsule CA-2 illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B has at least one straight main thin-walled region 10c extending along the axis CL of the tubular peripheral wall 10 (in a direction perpendicular to the peripheral direction of the peripheral wall). As shown in FIG. 5A , the tubular capsule CA-2 is disposed within the space 204 such that the axis of the capsule CA-2 is directed perpendicularly to the axis of the filter.
- the straight thin-walled regions 10c extend in such a direction that when the filter FL-2 is picked and applied with radial external forces F, the thin-walled regions 10c are parallel with the direction in which the external forces F are applied.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of the capsule CA-2 applied with such external forces F.
- the peripheral wall 10 of the capsule CA-2 has the main thin-walled regions 10c that are directed parallel to the direction of application of the external forces F. Since the main thin-walled regions 10c are provided, the capsule CA-2 is deformed progressively as the external forces are applied, and when the stress acting in the most bent portions 13 where stress is concentrated due to the bending exceeds a certain value, the capsule CA-2 breaks at the bent portions 13, as illustrated. The pressure in the capsule CA-2 rises with the application of the external forces F, and therefore, forces directed perpendicularly to the direction of application of the external forces F are generated in the capsule CA-2. Consequently, the main thin-walled regions 10c parallel to the direction of application of the external forces F are broken easily.
- the location of the capsule CA-2 in the accommodation space 204 be visually identifiable.
- the casing 201 of the filter body surrounding the accommodation space 204 is made of a transparent sheet material so that the accommodation space 204 can be viewed from outside.
- the tip paper 101 surrounding the filter body is similarly made of a transparent sheet material. This allows a user to squeeze the capsule CA-2 while confirming the location of the capsule CA-2.
- the surfaces of the capsule to be pushed are marked with letters, for example, "PUSH" as shown in FIG. 6 , or if the surfaces to be pushed are too small to carry readable letters, other mark may be affixed to the push surfaces (e.g., the push surfaces may be colored in red or blue), so that a user can readily locate the capsule to be pushed.
- letters for example, "PUSH" as shown in FIG. 6
- other mark may be affixed to the push surfaces (e.g., the push surfaces may be colored in red or blue), so that a user can readily locate the capsule to be pushed.
- FIG. 7 illustrates an improvement example of the capsule, wherein the capsule is provided not only with the straight main thin-walled regions 10c but also with ring-shaped sub thin-walled regions 10d perpendicular to the main thin-walled regions 10c.
- the main thin-walled regions 10c extend straight along the axis CL of the capsule, and the sub thin-walled regions 10d are each in the form of a ring. With the sub (auxiliary) thin-walled regions 10d formed in this manner, the capsule CA-2 can be broken more easily.
- the main thin-walled regions 10c and the ring-shaped sub thin-walled regions 10d need not be continuous regions. That is to say, the thin-walled regions may be non-continuous regions having discontinuities in part thereof, as stated above.
- the aforementioned capsule CA-2 of the second embodiment was actually produced and evaluated, as described below.
- the capsule CA-2 was produced using distilled water as the liquid to be encapsulated in the capsule, and breaking strength of the produced capsule CA-2 was measured. Specifically, using low-density polystyrene, which is a plastic material used for food packaging, the capsule CA-2 was formed by injection molding. Then, 90% (v/v) distilled water was poured into the space within the capsule CA-2, and the open end of the capsule CA-2 was completely heat sealed with a polyamide/low-density polyethylene laminated film (KIMURA-TEC, NY/LDPE, 60 ⁇ m), to obtain a capsule containing distilled water.
- KIMURA-TEC polyamide/low-density polyethylene laminated film
- the breaking strength of the capsule was measured by a creep meter (RHEOMETER II, from YAMADEN CO., LTD.).
- FIG. 8 illustrates the manner of how the breaking strength was measured and the measurement results.
- Test A shows the case where the external force was applied to the peripheral wall provided with the thin-walled regions 10c
- Test B shows the case where the external force was applied to the capsule in a direction parallel to the thin-walled regions 10c, as in the present invention.
- the capsule CA-2 exemplified in FIGS. 5A and 5B is columnar in shape and has thin-walled regions formed in the peripheral wall 10, and the capsule CA-2 is disposed within the filter such that the axis of the capsule CA-2 is directed perpendicularly to the axis of the filter.
- the shape of the capsule CA-2 is, however, not limited to cylinder, and as shown in FIG. 9 by ways of example, the capsule CA-3 may be in the form of a prism (in the figure, quadrangular prism (rectangular parallelepiped)). Where the capsule has a prismatic shape, its posture inside the accommodation space 204 can be stabilized. In this case, the thin-walled regions 10c are formed in the four side walls constituting the peripheral wall of the capsule.
- the capsule CA-3 may be disposed within the accommodation space 204 such that the side walls of the capsule CA-3 are directed parallel with the axis of the filter, in which case the four side walls face frontward, rearward and to the right and left, respectively, with respect to the filter.
- the capsule CA-3 may be disposed within the accommodation space 204 such that one corner of the capsule CA-3 projects frontward, as shown in FIG. 9 .
- each capsule CA (CA-1, CA-2, CA-3) more reliably, fiber that is used to form the filter elements may be filled in the gap of the accommodation space 204, if necessary, to prevent positional shift of the capsule.
- protrusions for positioning the capsule CA may be formed on the inner surface of the casing 201 so that the capsule CA may be pressed radially inward by the protrusions to be set in position.
- either one or both of the first and second filter sections may be omitted as the case may be.
- the space defined between the first and second filter sections is used as the accommodation space of the filter body. This configuration is, however, just a preferred example and the accommodation space may be configured in a different way.
- the user lights the filter-tipped cigarette CG to smoke the same.
- the liquid absorbed in the filter serves to reduce the water-soluble components contained in the smoke flow from the cigarette, and the flavoring added to the liquid improves the taste of the cigarette.
- the filter equipped with the capsule according to the present invention is applied to filter-tipped cigarette.
- the application of the present invention is not limited to filters attached to cigarettes. That is, the invention may be embodied as independent filter products.
