Description

本発明は、タバコの副流煙の流出を防ぐタバコの副流煙防止器具に関する。 The present invention relates to a cigarette sidestream smoke prevention device that prevents the flow of tobacco sidestream smoke.

喫煙時に発生するタバコの煙には、喫煙者が吸い込む主流煙と喫煙者がタバコから口を離した時にタバコの火のついた先端から発生する副流煙の２種類がある。
副流煙は主流煙に比較して有害物質の含有量が数倍高いと知られており、この副流煙の発生を抑制することは、社会的に強く求められている。
従来から、副流煙防止器具として、タバコの燃焼している箇所を通気性のない素材で覆い、その部分の空気の流入を防ぎながら、燃焼温度を下げることなどにより、副流煙の流出を防止しようとしていた。
しかし、これらは、タバコの燃焼を持続させるために、タバコの燃焼している箇所の近くに空気の流入する開口部を設けなければならない。このため、開口部より、一部の副流煙が流出することを防止することは出来なかった。また、この空気の流入する開口部を小さくするか、タバコの燃焼している場所からの距離を長くすると、タバコの燃焼を持続させることが出来ずに火は消えてしまうという欠点があった。
「平成１１−１２年度たばこ煙の成分分析について（概要）」厚生省実開平７−１３１９８公報特開昭６１−２１６６７４公報特開昭５０−９６３７２公報 There are two types of cigarette smoke generated during smoking: mainstream smoke that is smoked by the smoker and sidestream smoke that is generated when the smoker lifts his / her mouth from the cigarette.
Sidestream smoke is known to contain several times as much harmful substances as mainstream smoke, and there is a strong social demand to suppress the generation of sidestream smoke.
Conventionally, as a sidestream smoke prevention device, the area where tobacco is burning is covered with a non-breathable material to prevent the inflow of sidestream smoke by reducing the combustion temperature while preventing the inflow of air in that part. I was trying to prevent it.
However, they must provide an air inflow opening near the point where the tobacco is burning in order to sustain tobacco burning. For this reason, it was not possible to prevent some sidestream smoke from flowing out from the opening. Further, if the opening into which the air flows is reduced or the distance from the location where the tobacco is burning is increased, the burning of the tobacco cannot be continued and the fire is extinguished.

またタバコの喫煙具として、タバコを挿入すると密閉される容器で、容器を珪草土などの通気性のある素材で作るか、通気性のない素材の容器の一部に空気は流入するが煙を吸収するフィルターを付けた構造にし副流煙の流出を防止する提案がある。
これは、タバコを挿入したまま連続した喫煙が可能で、副流煙の流出を防ぐものではある。しかし、タバコの挿入口からの副流煙の流出を防ぐために挿入口のサイズをタバコの外周サイズに近づけ、かつ柔軟性のない素材でつくられているため、タバコをこの喫煙具から取り出し、喫煙具の外で吸引し、また挿入しようとする操作は非常にやりにくい。
またこれらは、器具を地表面に対して水平方向もしくはそれに近い角度で使用することを前提としている。つまり器具のタバコを挿入する孔が地表面に対して水平方向もしくはそれに近い角度で使用することを前提としている。
しかし、タバコを挿入しやすく、また出しやすくするためには、前記孔は、開口部が地表面に対して垂直方向もしくはそれに近い角度で使用されることが望ましい。しかし、これらの喫煙具では、孔を地表面に対して、垂直方向に使用した場合、挿入されたタバコと孔の内壁との隙間から副流煙が流出してしまう。
特開２０００−３１２５７７公報特開２００２−３３０７４５公報 As a cigarette smoking tool, it is a container that is sealed when tobacco is inserted, and the container is made of a breathable material such as diatomaceous earth, or air flows into a part of a non-breathable material but smoke There is a proposal to prevent the outflow of sidestream smoke by using a structure with a filter that absorbs air.
This allows continuous smoking with the tobacco inserted, and prevents the outflow of sidestream smoke. However, since the size of the insertion port is made close to the outer periphery size of the cigarette to prevent the outflow of sidestream smoke from the cigarette insertion port, and it is made of inflexible material, the cigarette is taken out from this smoking tool and smoking It is very difficult to perform the operation of sucking and inserting outside the tool.
They also presuppose that the instrument is used at or near the horizontal direction with respect to the ground surface. In other words, it is assumed that the hole for inserting the cigarette in the instrument is used in a horizontal direction or an angle close to the ground surface.
However, in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of tobacco, it is desirable that the hole is used at an angle where the opening is perpendicular to or close to the ground surface. However, in these smoking devices, when the hole is used in a direction perpendicular to the ground surface, sidestream smoke flows out from the gap between the inserted tobacco and the inner wall of the hole.

In addition, in the inserted state, the sidestream smoke was not completely confirmed by visual observation.
In addition, it was easy to take out the cigarette, and re-insertion was possible without resistance.

次に請求項２に関わる実証を説明する。請求項２の記載は請求項１を実施する場合の安全装置である。
繊維径が５〜７μｍのグラスウールを使い、密度が３２ｋｇ／ｍ^３の１辺が５ｃｍの通気性のある立方体で、その上面の正方形の対角線が交わる点を中心として、直径８ｍｍ、深さ２０ｍｍで、開口部より、図２、図３のように下方に１０ｍｍだけ内壁全体を厚さ０．１ｍｍのアルミ薄で覆い、さらにその下方の内壁表面全体に１ｍｍの高さの繊維状の突起がある円柱形の凹部を形成した。この円柱形の凹部に、燃焼する日本たばこ産業製のセブンスターを１本、深さ２０ｍｍまで挿入した。挿入するタバコを変えて次の各時点で燃焼を確認した。

Claim 2 is a safety device for carrying out claim 1.
Using glass wool with a fiber diameter of 5 to 7 μm, with a density of 32 kg / m ³ , a breathable cube with one side of 5 cm, with a diameter of 8 mm and a depth of 20 mm, centering on the point where the diagonals of the square on the upper surface intersect. 2 and 3, from the opening, the entire inner wall is covered by thin aluminum with a thickness of 0.1 mm by 10 mm below as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and a fibrous protrusion with a height of 1 mm is formed on the entire inner wall surface below the opening. A cylindrical recess was formed. One 7 star made by Japan Tobacco Inc., which burns, was inserted into this cylindrical recess to a depth of 20 mm. The tobacco to be inserted was changed and combustion was confirmed at each of the following times.
Combustion was maintained when the cigarette was taken out at each time point of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds, and 2 minutes after insertion. However, at 2 minutes after the insertion, the ignition part of the cigarette reached the part where the inside of the hole was covered with aluminum. When the cigarette was taken out at 2 minutes 30 seconds after insertion, the fire was completely extinguished. It has been proved that it functions as a safety fire extinguishing device that prevents the tobacco from continuing to burn if it is left unattended after insertion. In addition, in the inserted state, the sidestream smoke was not completely confirmed by visual observation. At the time of insertion, it was possible to insert without resistance, and it was easy to take out the cigarette, and re-insertion was possible without resistance.

副流煙を流出させずに、タバコの燃焼を長時間持続させ、かつタバコの挿入、取り出しが容易という目的を使用しやすい形状で実現した。 The purpose of maintaining the burning of tobacco for a long time without letting out sidestream smoke and easy insertion and removal of tobacco has been realized in an easy-to-use shape.

繊維径が５〜７μｍのガラス繊維の短繊維を、熱硬化性のバインダーを使用して密度が３２ｋｇ／ｍ^３での通気性のある円柱に成型し本体（１）をつくる、この本体（１）の上面の円に、タバコの平均の直径より２ｍｍ短い直径の円柱形の凹部を形成する。本体（１）の円柱は、円柱より大きな直方体などを成型もしくは形成し、それを円柱形にカットすることでも出来る
つぎに、前記円柱形の凹部の内壁を、内壁表面より１ｍｍの深さで切削具を使い切れ目を入れた。つまり、前記円柱形の凹部は、タバコの平均の直径の円柱形の凹部の内壁に１ｍｍの高さで、繊維状の突起（２）がついている形状になる。FIG. 1 is a perspective view of Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
This main body (1) is formed by molding glass fiber short fibers having a fiber diameter of 5 to 7 μm into a breathable cylinder having a density of 32 kg / m ³ using a thermosetting binder. A cylindrical recess having a diameter 2 mm shorter than the average diameter of the cigarette is formed in the upper circle. The cylinder of the main body (1) can be formed by forming or forming a rectangular parallelepiped larger than the cylinder and cutting it into a cylindrical shape. Next, the inner wall of the cylindrical recess is cut to a depth of 1 mm from the inner wall surface. I used a tool and cut the line. In other words, the cylindrical recess has a shape of 1 mm in height and a fibrous protrusion (2) on the inner wall of the cylindrical recess having an average diameter of tobacco.

この円柱形の凹部の内部においては、図４、図５、図６のように挿入されたタバコは前記円柱形の凹部の内壁表面の繊維状の突起（２）をタバコの進行方向に曲げて、前記繊維状の突起（２）をタバコの表面（４）と前記円柱形の凹部の内壁に押し付け、タバコの表面と前記円柱形の凹部の内壁と適度な保持力を持ちながら密接する。
前記円柱形の凹部は通気性があるが、酸素の供給量は減少され、さらに前記円柱形の凹部の吸熱作用で、タバコの燃焼温度が低下するため副流煙の発生が抑制される。抑制されながらも発生した副流煙は、前記円柱形の凹部の内壁を通り、吸着される。また、繊維状の突起（２）は柔軟性があるため、タバコ挿入しやすく、引出しやすい。また引き出し後は挿入前の状態に戻る。さらに、タバコを挿入していても素材の通気性により空気の流入はあるため、タバコの燃焼は、長時間持続する。In the inside of the cylindrical recess, the tobacco inserted as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 has the fibrous protrusion (2) on the inner wall surface of the cylindrical recess bent in the direction of tobacco movement. The fibrous protrusion (2) is pressed against the tobacco surface (4) and the inner wall of the cylindrical recess, and the tobacco surface and the inner wall of the cylindrical recess are in close contact with each other while having an appropriate holding force.
Although the cylindrical recess has air permeability, the supply amount of oxygen is reduced, and further, the endothermic action of the cylindrical recess reduces the combustion temperature of the tobacco, thereby suppressing the generation of sidestream smoke. Sidestream smoke generated while being suppressed passes through the inner wall of the cylindrical recess and is adsorbed. In addition, since the fibrous protrusion (2) is flexible, it is easy to insert and pull out the cigarette. Moreover, it returns to the state before insertion after drawing. In addition, even when a cigarette is inserted, the inflow of air due to the air permeability of the material causes the tobacco to burn for a long time.

副流煙を防止する器具において、タバコとタバコを挿入する孔の内壁との密着度を高め孔が地表面に対して垂直方向になってもタバコの燃焼が持続しつつ副流煙が流出せず、かつタバコの挿入、取り出しが簡易であるため、使用時の角度が自由な範囲で利用でき、従来の灰皿、携帯用灰皿などへの取り付けにも適用できる。In a device that prevents sidestream smoke, the degree of close contact between the cigarette and the inner wall of the hole into which the cigarette is inserted is increased, and even if the hole is perpendicular to the ground surface, cigarette combustion continues and sidestream smoke flows out. In addition, since the insertion and removal of cigarettes are simple, it can be used in a range where the angle of use is free, and can be applied to attachment to conventional ashtrays, portable ashtrays, and the like.
