Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an article of the industry of products adapted to emit a substance to be inhaled, in particular to an article of the tobacco processing industry (more particularly, to a smoking article).
  • the patent application EP3015007A1 describes a filter cigarette comprising a piece of tobacco wrapped in a first wrapping sheet and filter wrapped in a second wrapping sheet which also partially embraces the piece of tobacco so as to form a stable connection between the piece of tobacco itself and the filter.
  • the filter internally contains several different filter pieces and, inside the filter, an empty space is also obtained which axially separates different filter pieces from one another.
  • Patent application US2010108084A1 discloses a filtered cigarette, having smokable/tobacco rod secured to distal filter end by tipping material that circumscribes filter element and smokable/tobacco rod.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an article of industry of products adapted to emit a substance to be inhaled, which article allows to overcome, at least partially, the drawbacks of the prior art and, at the same time, is easy and inexpensive to implement.
  • the article 1 denotes as a whole an article for the formation of a substance to be inhaled (in particular, an aerosol) comprising a group 2 (more precisely, a row) of segments (components distinct from one another).
  • the article 1 is a smoking article, for example a cigarette.
  • the group 2 has an oblong shape (in particular, with a longitudinal axis A) and comprises a (first) segment 3 and at least a (second) segment 5 arranged in succession along a longitudinal extension (in particular, along the axis A) of the group 2.
  • the group 2 also comprises, at least one (third) segment 4, which is arranged in contact with the segment 3 and is interposed between the segments 3 and 5.
  • the segments 3, 4 and 5 are arranged in succession along a longitudinal extension (in particular, along the axis A) of the group 2.
  • the segments 3 and 5 are spaced from one another so that the group 2 comprises an empty space 6 (free - that is, no segment or other structural element is arranged therein) located between the segments 3 and 5.
  • the article 1 furthermore comprises, a wrapping sheet 7 which is wound (rolled) around a stretch 8 and a stretch 9 of the group 2 of segments; and a wrapping sheet 10, which does not extend (is not present - is absent) to the stretch 8 and is wound (rolled) around a stretch 11 of the group 2 of segments and around the wrapping sheet 7 at the stretch 9.
  • the wrapping sheet 7 does not extend (is not present - is absent) to the stretch 11.
  • the stretches 8, 9 and 11 are arranged (in succession) along said longitudinal extension (more precisely, along the longitudinal axis A).
  • the particular arrangement of the sheets 7 and 10 allows the article 1 to be stable from a mechanical point of view, using at the same time a reduced quantity of material and/or a reduced number of components.
  • the wrapping sheet 7 is wound (rolled) around (and in contact with) the stretches 8 and 9 at least once (at least one complete revolution - at least by 360°), in particular so that the stretches 8 and 9 are laterally completely covered.
  • the lateral surface of the stretches 8 and 9 that is, the surfaces delimiting the stretches 8 and 9 radially to the axis A towards the outside - typically, said surfaces extend parallel to the axis A) are (completely) covered (wrapped) by the sheet 7.
  • the sheet 10 is wound (rolled) around the stretch 11 of the group 2 of segments and around the wrapping sheet 7 at the stretch 9 at least once (at least one complete revolution - at least by 360°), in particular so that the stretch 11 and the sheet 7 at the stretch 9 are laterally completely covered.
  • the lateral surface of the stretch 11 and of the sheet 7 at the stretch 9 that is, the surfaces that delimit the stretch 11 and the sheet 7 radially to the axis A towards the outside - typically said surfaces extend parallel to the axis A) are covered (wrapped) by sheet 10.
  • a sheet is wound around something (a segment, a stretch and/or a part of a segment) means that the sheet is wound at least once (360°) around said thing.
  • the sheets 7 and 10 are wound around the group 2 (at least once) so as to define, for each, a respective tubular shape.
  • the article 1 has, furthermore, at least two wrapping layers 12 and 13, which are at least partially defined by the wrapping sheet 7 and/or 10 and are wound around the empty space 6 (around the entire space 6) so as laterally (completely) delimit it (peripherally - radially relative to the longitudinal extension of the group 2, more precisely relative to the axis A).
  • the article 1 has (at least) three wrapping layers 12, 13 and 14, which are at least partially defined by the wrapping sheet 7 and/or 10 and are wound around the empty space (around the entire space 6) so as to laterally (completely) delimit it (peripherally - radially relative to the longitudinal extension of the group 2, more precisely relative to the axis A).
  • the layers 12 and 13 extend from a first end (delimited by the segment 4) to a second end (delimited by the segment 5 or 15) of the space 6.
  • the layers 12 and 13 are meant to be wound (at least) once (at least by 360°) around the space 6 (as they are laterally delimiting the space 6 itself).
  • the presence of a plurality of external layers at the empty space 6 allows to give the article 1 a sufficient mechanical strength even in the absence of segments (or other elements which have - also - a structural function) at the space 6.
  • the absence of further segments (or other elements that have - also - a structural function) between the segments 4 and 5 leads to a simplification of the production of the article 1, being, inter alia, necessary to manage (store, feed and/or or assemble) an element less than would otherwise be necessary.
  • the stretch 8 comprises (at least part of) the segment 3.
  • the stretch 11 comprises (at least part of) the segment 5.
  • the stretch 9 comprises (at least part of) the segment 3 (and/or 5).
  • the stretch 9 comprises (at least part of) the segment 4.
  • the stretch 9 comprises (at least part of) the empty space 6.
  • the group 2 comprises at least one further segment 15, which is arranged between the segments 3 and 5 (in particular, between the segments 4 and 5) in contact with the segment 5.
  • the empty space 6 is arranged between the segments 4 and 15.
  • the wrapping sheet 10 is wound (at least once) (also) around the (at least part of) the segment 15 (in this way the segments 15 and 5 are kept integral one with the other).
  • the empty space 6 is (therefore) delimited at the ends by the segments 3 (or possibly 4) and 5 (or possibly 15).
  • the segment 4 has its own through cavity, which extends in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the group of segments (in particular, in the direction of the axis A).
  • the segment 15 is provided with its own through cavity which extends in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the group of segments (in particular, in the direction of the axis A).
  • the segment 4 (and possibly the segment 15) is made of cellulose acetate, more precisely it is paperless (NWA - non-wrapped acetate).
  • At least one of the segments 3 and 5 and possibly 4 is adapted to release the substance to be inhaled.
  • the segment adapted to release the substance to be inhaled comprises the tobacco.
  • the segment 3 is adapted to release the substance to be inhaled.
  • At least one of the segments 3 and 5 and possibly 4 comprises (is made of) filtering material.
  • the segment 5 comprises (is made of) a filtering material.
  • the article 1 comprises a further wrapping sheet 18, which is wound (at least once) around the empty space 6, in particular so as to define at least one among the wrapping layers 12 and 13 (and possibly 14) laterally delimiting the empty space.
  • the sheet 18 is also rolled around at least part of the segment 15 (where present).
  • the sheet 18 is wound (rolled) around the empty space 6 (and possibly around at least part of the segment 4, in some cases, the sheet 18 is wound - rolled - around at least part of the segment 15) at least once (at least one complete revolution - at least by 360°), in particular the space 6 (and possibly at least part of the segment 4 - and/or the segment 15) is laterally completely covered.
  • the sheet 10 is wound around (at least part of) the segments 4 and 5 (at least once). In this way the segments 4 and 5 are integral one with the other.
  • the sheet 10 is wound around (at least part of) the segments 3 and 5 (at least once). In this way the segments 3 and 5 are integral one with the other.
  • the sheet 7 is wound (at least once) around (at least part of) the segments 3 and 4. In this way the segments 3 and 4 are integral one with the other.
  • the sheets 7 and 10 are made of paper or cardboard or similar material (in particular, a non-rigid material which allows the sheets to be rolled up but, at the same time, allows a sufficient structural strength).
  • the layers 12 and 13 are made of paper or cardboard or similar material (in particular, a non-rigid material which can be rolled up but, at the same time, allows sufficient structural solidity).
