Definitions
- Smoking articles such as cigarettes usually comprise a rod of tobacco or other aerosol forming material wrapped in a combustible wrapper, usually cigarette paper, and a filter aligned in end-to-end relationship with said tobacco rod.
- the filter may include at least one plug of cellulose acetate tow attached to the tobacco rod or other aerosol forming material by tipping paper which overlies the filter and an adjacent end of the tobacco rod against which the filter is placed in abutment. Perforations may further be provided in the filter through the tipping paper to allow ventilation of the smoke drawn by consumers through the filter upon smoking.
- the invention relates to the use of the filter according to the second aspect of the invention in a smoking article.
- D s is the initial (non-depressed) diameter of the cigarette
- D F is the depressed diameter after applying a set load for a set duration. The harder the material, the closer the hardness is to 100%.
- smoking articles should be aligned parallel in a plane and the same portion of each smoking article to be tested should be subjected to a set load for a set duration.
- This test is performed using a known DD60A Densimeter device (manufactured and made commercially available by Heinr. Borgwaldt GmbH, Germany), which is fitted with a measuring head for cigarettes and with a cigarette receptacle.
- the load is applied using two load applying cylindrical rods, which extend across the diameter of all of the smoking articles at once.
- one or more filter wrappers have a basis weight of between about 38 and about 49 grams per square metre, such as of between about 42 and about 48 grams per square metre, for example of about 45 grams per square metre.
- the filter of the smoking article of the invention comprises at least one fluid-releasing member positioned in the cavity, preferably a breakable capsule containing an oil- or water-based liquid.
- the one or more filter wrappers of the filter may be non-porous wrappers.
- the filtration material may comprise any suitable material or combination of materials as already described with regard to the first aspect of the invention.
- the type of filtration material may be selected to provide the desired hardness.
- suitable materials include, but are not limited to, cellulose acetate, cellulose, reconstituted cellulose, polylactic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, nylon, polyhydroxybutyrate, thermoplastic material, such as starch, non-woven materials, longitudinally oriented fibres and randomly oriented fibres, paper, crepe, PLA fibres, and combinations thereof. All or part of the filter may include activated carbon or other sorbent material.
- the filter may include an adhesive or plasticizer or a combination thereof.
- the filtration material comprises cellulose acetate.
- At least one non-wrap acetate filter plug is used it is further advantageous in another embodiment of the invention to provide the filter with at least one second plug of non-wrap acetate filtration material, the first and second plugs of non-wrap acetate filtration material being overwrapped by a single filter wrapper holding both first and second plugs in a spaced relationship to define a cavity there between.
- Using two non-wrap acetate filtration material plug is particularly advantageous as it allows formation of cavity filters having a single filter wrapper of relatively low basis weight as proposed by the invention while still providing increased rigidity, where usually multi-plug filters require two or more filter wrapper layers.
- the hardness of various types of smoking article was tested using a known DD60A Densimeter (manufactured and made commercially available by Heinr. Borgwaldt GmbH, Germany) device, which was fitted with a measuring head for cigarettes and with a cigarette receptacle, as described above.
- the samples were tested by following the method which is recommended for the known DD60A Densimeter device (manufactured and made commercially available by Heinr. Borgwaldt GmbH, Germany). That is, a sample of smoking articles were held in parallel alignment, and subjected to an overall load of 2 kg, for a period of 20 seconds, and the diameters of the smoking articles before and after compression were recorded. The depression was used to determine the hardness (%) of each smoking article.
- the apparatus for testing the hardness of the smoking articles filters is shown in Figures 2, 3 and 6.
