Description

本発明は、喫煙物品に関する。 The present invention relates to smoking articles.

特許文献１には、喫煙物品の遠位端（マウスピースの反対側の端）に位置する可燃性炭素質熱源と、熱源に隣接するエアロゾル形成基質と、熱源を少なくとも部分的に覆うように構成され、且つ虚弱線で遠位端に取り付けられたキャップとを備えた喫煙物品が開示されている。キャップは、ラッパー（巻紙）によって囲まれた円筒形のプラグの材料を含み、喫煙物品を使用する前に熱源を露出するために取り外し可能である。 U.S. Patent No. 5,200,403 discloses a combustible carbonaceous heat source located at the distal end of a smoking article (opposite the mouthpiece), an aerosol-forming substrate adjacent to the heat source, and an aerosol-forming substrate configured to at least partially cover the heat source. and a cap attached to the distal end at the line of weakness. The cap comprises a cylindrical plug of material surrounded by a wrapper (wrapper) and is removable to expose the heat source prior to use of the smoking article.

また、この喫煙物品は、エアロゾル形成基質の下流に、気流指向要素（管）とマウスピースとを備える。キャップは、ラッパーで巻き上げられたマルチセグメント又は構成要素を気流指向要素において切断することにより、気流指向要素と同一材料で形成され、喫煙物品の遠位端に位置付けられる。 The smoking article also includes an airflow directing element (tube) and a mouthpiece downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate. The cap is formed of the same material as the airflow directing element by cutting a wrappered multi-segment or component at the airflow directing element and is positioned at the distal end of the smoking article.

また、キャップは、喫煙物品の端面を含めた遠位端を実質的に取り囲む保護カバーであって、熱源を覆うことにより意図しない熱源の着火を抑制し、ユーザーの衛生面を確保し、ユーザーが熱源に接触することによる衣服や手の汚れを抑制する役割を担う。また、キャップは、喫煙物品の製造時に、熱源が製造設備を汚すことを抑制し、製造時の熱源の破損を抑制する役割をも担う。 Also, the cap is a protective cover that substantially surrounds the distal end including the end surface of the smoking article, and by covering the heat source, suppresses unintended ignition of the heat source, ensures user hygiene, and allows the user to It plays a role in suppressing soiling of clothes and hands due to contact with the heat source. The cap also serves to prevent the heat source from contaminating the manufacturing equipment during manufacturing of the smoking article and to prevent damage to the heat source during manufacturing.

特表２０１６－５０３３０７号公報Japanese translation of PCT publication No. 2016-503307

特許文献１では、キャップは、喫煙物品の製造工程において気流指向要素を切断して形成される。従って、キャップを形成することだけを目的として切断工程を行わなければならず、喫煙物品の生産性が悪化する。
また、キャップの主たる役割は、喫煙物品の使用時及び製造時の双方における熱源の保護であり、喫煙物品の製造過程におけるキャップの役割について格別な配慮がなされていない。In Patent Document 1, the cap is formed by cutting the airflow directing element during the manufacturing process of the smoking article. Therefore, the cutting step must be performed for the sole purpose of forming the cap, which reduces productivity of the smoking article.
Moreover, the main role of the cap is to protect the heat source both during use and during manufacturing of the smoking article, and no special consideration is given to the role of the cap during the manufacturing process of the smoking article.

また、キャップを端に位置付けた状態で他の構成部材とともに構成された連結体を巻紙により巻き上げて喫煙物品を製造する場合、端に位置付けられたキャップは、連結体を巻紙により巻き上げたときの巻上適正（巻上対象の周面を偏りなく均一に巻き上げ可能とする適正）を左右するセグメントとしての役割がある。しかしながら、特許文献１においては、このような製法を用いた場合について格別な配慮がなされていないため、気流指向要素、つまり単なる管状部材としての機能を有するだけのキャップを用いると、巻上適正が悪化し、喫煙物品の品質不良を招くおそれがある。 In addition, when a smoking article is manufactured by winding up a connecting body configured with other constituent members with a cap positioned at the end with a wrapping paper, the cap positioned at the end does not roll when the connecting body is rolled up with the wrapping paper. It plays a role as a segment that influences the top suitability (the suitability that makes it possible to wind up the peripheral surface of the object to be wound evenly and uniformly). However, in Patent Document 1, no special consideration is given to the case where such a manufacturing method is used. deterioration, resulting in poor quality smoking articles.

本発明はこのような課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、喫煙物品の品質向上及び生産性向上の双方を実現することができる、喫煙物品を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a smoking article capable of realizing both quality improvement and productivity improvement of the smoking article.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明の喫煙物品は、巻上用部材、熱源、香味源、及びフィルタ部材をこれらの順に一列に並べて形成される喫煙物品であって、巻上用部材、熱源、及び香味源を一体に巻き上げる第１巻紙と、第１巻紙で巻き上げられた巻上用部材、熱源、及び香味源をフィルタ部材と一体に巻き上げる第２巻紙と、巻上用部材、熱源の一部、及び香味源と、第１巻紙とを接着する接着部と、熱源の巻上用部材の側において第１巻紙と接着しない非接着部とを備え、巻上用部材は、第１巻紙で巻き上げる際の巻上適正を向上させるとともに、喫煙物品の製造時及び使用前に熱源を覆って保護するために用いられ、巻上用部材の少なくとも一部を非接着部にて離脱させることにより、熱源の少なくとも一部を着火による加熱が可能に露出して使用する。 To achieve the above object, the smoking article of the present invention is a smoking article formed by arranging a hoisting member, a heat source, a flavor source, and a filter member in this order, wherein the hoisting member, the heat source, and a first wrapping paper for winding up the flavor source together, a winding member wound up by the first wrapping paper, a heat source, and a second wrapping paper for winding the flavor source integrally with the filter member, a winding member, and part of the heat source , and a bonding portion that bonds the flavor source and the first wrapping paper, and a non-bonding portion that does not adhere to the first wrapping paper on the winding member side of the heat source, and the winding member is wound with the first wrapping paper. It is used to improve the winding suitability at the time of smoking and to cover and protect the heat source during manufacturing and before use of the smoking article. At least a part of is exposed so that it can be heated by ignition.

本発明の喫煙物品によれば、喫煙物品の品質向上及び生産性向上の双方を実現することができる。 According to the smoking article of the present invention, both quality improvement and productivity improvement of the smoking article can be realized.

以下、図面に基づき本発明の実施形態に係る喫煙物品について説明する。
＜第１実施形態＞
図１は、本発明の第１実施形態に係る喫煙物品１の軸線方向Ｘにおける概略的な断面図を示す。喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２、熱源３、香味源４、及びフィルタ部材５をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べて形成される熱源型シガレットである。Hereinafter, smoking articles according to embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view in the axial direction X of a smoking article 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The smoking article 1 is a heat source type cigarette formed by arranging a winding member 2, a heat source 3, a flavor source 4, and a filter member 5 in order in the axial direction X in a line.

喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源４を一体に巻き上げる第１巻紙６と、第１巻紙６で巻き上げられた巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源４をさらにフィルタ部材５と一体に巻き上げる第２巻紙７とを備えている。また、喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２、熱源３の一部、及び香味源４と、第１巻紙６とを接着する接着部８と、熱源３の巻上用部材２の側において、熱源３の残りの一部と第１巻紙６とを接着しない非接着部９とを備えている。喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２を非接着部９にて離脱させることにより、熱源３の少なくとも一部を着火による加熱が可能に露出して使用する。 The smoking article 1 includes a first wrapping paper 6 that integrally rolls up a winding member 2, a heat source 3, and a flavor source 4, and a winding member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source 4 that are rolled up by the first wrapping paper 6. Further, the filter member 5 is provided with a second wrapping paper 7 which is rolled up integrally. In addition, the smoking article 1 includes the winding member 2, a portion of the heat source 3, the flavor source 4, and the bonding portion 8 that bonds the first wrapping paper 6, and the winding member 2 side of the heat source 3, A non-adhesive portion 9 is provided where the rest of the heat source 3 and the first wrapping paper 6 are not adhered. The smoking article 1 is used with at least a part of the heat source 3 exposed so as to be heated by ignition by removing the winding member 2 at the non-bonded portion 9 .

［巻上用部材］
本実施形態の巻上用部材２は、例えば紙管であって、後述する第１配列工程で形成する第１連結体１３を、後述する第１巻上工程において第１巻紙６で巻き上げる際の巻上適正を向上させるための部材である。巻上用部材２は、併せて喫煙物品１の製造時及び使用前に熱源３を覆って保護する機能も備えている。[Hoisting member]
The winding member 2 of the present embodiment is, for example, a paper tube, and is used when winding the first connected body 13 formed in the first arranging step described later with the first winding paper 6 in the first winding step described later. It is a member for improving winding aptitude. The hoisting member 2 also has the function of covering and protecting the heat source 3 during manufacturing of the smoking article 1 and before use.

巻上適正とは、巻上対象の周面を偏りなく均一に巻き上げ可能とする適正のことを意味する。巻上用部材２を備えた喫煙物品１は、第１巻紙６による巻上不良を極力なくすことができる。巻上用部材２は、紙管以外の任意の材料で作ることもできるが、香味源４と同程度の硬さを有することが好ましく、これにより巻上適正が向上する。加えて、喫煙物品１から巻上用部材２のみを触感により容易に離脱可能とする、いわば離脱適正も向上する。 The winding suitability means the suitability for enabling the circumferential surface of the object to be wound up to be evenly and uniformly wound up. The smoking article 1 provided with the winding member 2 can eliminate winding failure due to the first wrapping paper 6 as much as possible. Although the winding member 2 can be made of any material other than the paper tube, it preferably has hardness comparable to that of the flavor source 4, which improves the winding suitability. In addition, it is possible to easily detach only the winding member 2 from the smoking article 1 by tactile sensation, so to speak, detachability is also improved.

さらに、第１連結体１３に対する第１巻紙６の接着適正を高めるためには、巻上用部材２と香味源４は荷重付与により変形した後の楕円率（換言すると復元率）が同程度であるものが好ましい。巻上適正、離脱適正、及び接着適正が向上する理由の詳細は後述する。なお、巻上用部材２は、中空フィルタートウを巻取紙で巻いたものや、中実フィルタートウを巻取紙で巻いたものであっても良い。
また、巻上用部材２は、ユーザーが指で引き抜いたり、もぎ取ったりし易いように、軸線方向Ｘの長さは、好ましくは５ｍｍ～２０ｍｍであり、より好ましくは１０ｍｍ～１５ｍｍである。これにより、喫煙物品１の離脱適正を高めることができる。Furthermore, in order to improve the adherability of the first wrapping paper 6 to the first connecting body 13, the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 should have approximately the same ellipticity (in other words, recovery rate) after being deformed by applying a load. Some are preferred. Details of the reason why the winding suitability, detachment suitability, and adhesion suitability are improved will be described later. The winding member 2 may be a hollow filter tow wound with a roll paper, or a solid filter tow wound with a roll paper.
The winding member 2 preferably has a length in the axial direction X of 5 mm to 20 mm, more preferably 10 mm to 15 mm, so that the user can easily pull it out or tear it off with their fingers. Thereby, the withdrawal suitability of the smoking article 1 can be enhanced.

［熱源］
熱源３は、柱状に成形された固形物であって、例えば炭素熱源であり、本実施形態の場合、軸線方向Ｘに貫通する中空部３ａを有する。熱源３は、着火することにより燃焼し発熱する。中空部３ａを通過することにより熱源３で加熱した気流を効率的に生成可能である。熱源３で加熱されたエアが香味源４を通過することにより、香味成分を含むエアロゾルが効率的に生成される。[Heat source]
The heat source 3 is a columnar solid, for example, a carbon heat source, and has a hollow portion 3a penetrating in the axial direction X in the case of the present embodiment. The heat source 3 burns and generates heat by being ignited. By passing through the hollow portion 3a, the airflow heated by the heat source 3 can be efficiently generated. By passing the air heated by the heat source 3 through the flavor source 4, an aerosol containing flavor components is efficiently generated.

［香味源］
香味源４は、柱状の成形物であって、例えば、刻みたばこ、たばこ材料を顆粒状やシート状など任意の形状に成形した成形体、たばこ以外の植物、その他の香料などの少なくとも何れかを巻取紙４ａにより包み込んだものである。香味源４には、エアロゾル形成基質が添加されている。[flavor source]
The flavor source 4 is a columnar molding, for example, shredded tobacco, a molded body in which tobacco material is molded into an arbitrary shape such as granules or sheets, plants other than tobacco, and other flavoring agents, etc. 4a. Flavor source 4 is loaded with an aerosol-forming substrate.

ユーザーは、熱源３により加熱された気流が香味源４を通過した後に生成されたエアロゾルを吸引する。これにより、ユーザーは香味源４の成分を摂取することができる。なお、香味源４は後述する香味源材料１２を二分して形成され、双方は同一材質であるため、以降の説明において香味源４と香味源材料１２とを同意義で用いることがある。 The user inhales the aerosol produced after the airflow heated by the heat source 3 passes the flavor source 4 . This allows the user to ingest the components of the flavor source 4 . The flavor source 4 is formed by dividing the flavor source material 12, which will be described later, into two parts, and both parts are made of the same material.

［フィルタ部材］
フィルタ部材５は、香味源４側から順に管１０、フィルタ要素１１を軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べて形成される。管１０は、喫煙物品１を流れる気流を整流するために設けられる。管１０は、例えば紙管であって、プラスチック管であっても良い。フィルタ要素１１は、例えばアセテートのフィルタ繊維束を巻取紙１１ａにより包み込んだものである。[Filter member]
The filter member 5 is formed by arranging a tube 10 and a filter element 11 in a line in the axial direction X in order from the flavor source 4 side. A tube 10 is provided to straighten the airflow through the smoking article 1 . The tube 10 is, for example, a paper tube, and may be a plastic tube. The filter element 11 is, for example, an acetate filter fiber bundle wrapped with a roll paper 11a.

フィルタ繊維束は中実であっても良いし、中空であっても良い。また、フィルタ繊維束に、活性炭の粒子やハイドロタルサイト類化合物の粒子を加えても良いし、破壊可能なシェルに内容液を充填したカプセルを埋設しても良い。この内容液は、例えば、香料、及び香料が溶解する溶媒としての食用油などである。また、フィルタ要素１１は、フィルタープラグを複数接合したいわゆるマルチセグメントフィルタであっても良い。 The filter fiber bundle may be solid or hollow. In addition, particles of activated carbon or particles of a hydrotalcite compound may be added to the filter fiber bundle, or a capsule filled with a liquid content may be embedded in a breakable shell. This content liquid is, for example, a flavor and an edible oil as a solvent in which the flavor is dissolved. Also, the filter element 11 may be a so-called multi-segment filter in which a plurality of filter plugs are joined.

［第１巻紙］
第１巻紙６は、紙巻たばこ用の空気透過率の比較的低い紙素材（金属貼合紙、例えばアルミニウム貼合紙を含む）で形成され、第１巻紙６の端から巻上用部材２の先端が突出されている。これにより、離脱するべき巻上用部材２の存在を容易に目視可能である。[1st roll paper]
The first wrapping paper 6 is made of a paper material for cigarettes with relatively low air permeability (including metal-bonded paper, for example, aluminum-bonded paper). The tip is protruded. As a result, the presence of the hoisting member 2 to be separated can be easily visually confirmed.

［第２巻紙］
第２巻紙７は、紙巻たばこ用の空気透過率の低い紙で作られている。また、第２巻紙７は、フィルタ部材５からそれに隣接する香味源４の一部に至る領域に巻き上げられ、フィルタ部材５と香味源４とを第２巻紙７により連結可能な領域に図示しない接着部が形成される。[Volume 2]
The second wrapping paper 7 is made of low air permeability paper for cigarettes. In addition, the second wrapping paper 7 is rolled up from the filter member 5 to a portion of the flavor source 4 adjacent thereto, and the filter member 5 and the flavor source 4 are bonded to the region where the second wrapping paper 7 can be connected (not shown). part is formed.

以下、図２～図８を参照し、喫煙物品１の製造工程を説明する。図２は喫煙物品１の製造工程を示すフローチャートであり、図３～図８は、図２に示すステップＳ１～Ｓ６を説明するための図である。 The manufacturing process of the smoking article 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. FIG. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the manufacturing process of the smoking article 1, and FIGS. 3 to 8 are diagrams for explaining steps S1 to S6 shown in FIG.

[第１配列工程]（ステップＳ１）
喫煙物品１の製造工程が開始されると、先ず図３に示すように、２つの巻上用部材２と２つの熱源３と１つの香味源材料１２とを供給し、巻上用部材２、熱源３、香味源材料１２、熱源３、巻上用部材２をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べた第１連結体１３を形成する。香味源材料１２は、軸線方向Ｘにおいて香味源４の２倍程度の長さを有する。[First arranging step] (Step S1)
When the manufacturing process of the smoking article 1 is started, first, as shown in FIG. A first connecting body 13 is formed by arranging the heat source 3, the flavor source material 12, the heat source 3, and the winding member 2 in a line in the axial direction X in this order. The flavor source material 12 has a length in the axial direction X that is about twice as long as the flavor source 4 .

具体的には、第１連結体１３を構成する各材料は、図示しない供給ユニットにより供給される。供給ユニットから供給された材料は、図３の順に並べて配置され、各材料は、サクションドラムによって吸引され、各セクションに到達した都度、新たな材料の供給が可能な間隔を存して位置付けられる。なお、各工程で必要な各材料の供給、配列、処置を一カ所で行うようにしても良い。 Specifically, each material constituting the first connecting body 13 is supplied by a supply unit (not shown). The materials supplied from the supply unit are arranged in the order shown in FIG. 3, each material is sucked by the suction drum, and each time it reaches each section, it is positioned with an interval that allows new material to be supplied. It should be noted that the supply, arrangement, and treatment of each material required in each step may be performed in one place.

[第１巻上工程]（ステップＳ２）
次に図４に示すように、第１連結体１３をその軸線方向Ｘに亘って第１巻紙６で巻き上げて第１連続体１４を形成する。具体的には、巻上ローラを有する図示しない巻上ユニットを使用する。巻上ユニットに第1巻紙６を供給し、第1巻紙６上に第１連結体１３を配置し、巻上ローラにより第1巻紙６を第１連結体１３の軸線方向Ｘの全域に亘って実質的に均一に押圧しながら巻き上げる。[First winding process] (Step S2)
Next, as shown in FIG. 4 , the first connecting body 13 is rolled up in the axial direction X with the first wrapping paper 6 to form the first continuous body 14 . Specifically, a winding unit (not shown) having a winding roller is used. The first paper roll 6 is supplied to the winding unit, the first connection body 13 is arranged on the first paper roll 6, and the first paper roll 6 is moved over the entire area of the first connection body 13 in the axial direction X by the winding roller. Roll up with substantially uniform pressure.

この巻き上げに際し、第１連結体１３の両端にそれぞれ巻上用部材２が位置付けられることにより、第１連結体１３の両端が潰れることはなく、第１連結体１３の周面を偏りなく第１巻紙６により均一に巻き上げることができる。従って、第１連結体１３の巻上適正が向上する。さらに、前述したように巻上ローラは第１連結体１３の全体を押圧することから、第１連結体１３に巻上用部材２のみならず、香味源材料１２が存在することも、第１連結体１３の巻上適正が向上する要因の一つである。 When winding up, the winding members 2 are positioned at both ends of the first connecting body 13, respectively, so that both ends of the first connecting body 13 are not crushed, and the peripheral surface of the first connecting body 13 is evenly distributed to the first connecting body. It can be rolled up uniformly by the wrapping paper 6. - 特許庁Therefore, the hoisting suitability of the first connecting body 13 is improved. Furthermore, since the winding roller presses the entire first connecting body 13 as described above, the existence of not only the winding member 2 but also the flavor source material 12 in the first connecting body 13 is not a problem for the first connecting body 13 . This is one of the factors that improve the hoisting suitability of the connecting body 13 .

なお、熱源３は、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２と比較して直径が若干小さいことから、上記巻き上げに際し巻上ローラに熱源３は接触しない。従って、熱源３の硬さ等は巻上適正に影響しない。そして、第１巻紙６により巻き上げられた第１連続体１４内の不要な隙間や、第１連続体１４の表面の凹凸が抑制され、喫煙物品１の巻き上げに係る適合品質を満たした第１連続体１４が形成される。 Since the heat source 3 has a slightly smaller diameter than the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12, the heat source 3 does not come into contact with the winding roller during winding. Therefore, the hardness and the like of the heat source 3 do not affect the hoisting suitability. Unnecessary gaps in the first continuous body 14 wound up by the first wrapping paper 6 and irregularities on the surface of the first continuous body 14 are suppressed, and the first continuous body satisfies suitable quality for winding up the smoking article 1. A body 14 is formed.

また、第１連結体１３を第１巻紙６で巻き上げたとき、第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６とを接着する接着部８と、各熱源３のそれぞれの巻上用部材２の側において少なくとも熱源３の一部と接着されない非接着部９とが形成される。 Further, when the first connected body 13 is wound up with the first wrapping paper 6, the bonding portion 8 that bonds the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6 and the winding member 2 side of each heat source 3 At least a portion of the heat source 3 and a non-bonded portion 9 that is not bonded are formed.

より詳しくは、第１連続体１４の状態における第１巻紙６の内周面には、巻上用部材２、熱源３の一部、及び香味源材料１２に対向する軸線方向Ｘに連続した領域（全周面、或いは一部周面）に接着剤が塗布されており、第１連結体１３を第１巻紙６で巻き上げることにより接着部８が形成される。 More specifically, on the inner peripheral surface of the first wrapping paper 6 in the state of the first continuous body 14, there is a region continuous in the axial direction X facing the winding member 2, part of the heat source 3, and the flavor source material 12. Adhesive is applied to (whole peripheral surface or partial peripheral surface), and the bonding portion 8 is formed by rolling up the first connecting body 13 with the first wrapping paper 6 .

一方、第１巻紙６の内周面には、熱源３の一部と巻上用部材２とに対向する軸線方向Ｘに連続した領域（全周面、或いは一部周面）に接着剤を塗布しておらず、第１連結体１３を第１巻紙６で巻き上げることにより非接着部９が形成される。そして、喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２の少なくとも一部を非接着部９にて離脱させ、熱源３の少なくとも一部を着火による加熱が可能に露出して使用する。 On the other hand, on the inner peripheral surface of the first wrapping paper 6, an adhesive is applied to a region (entire peripheral surface or partial peripheral surface) continuous in the axial direction X facing part of the heat source 3 and the winding member 2. The non-bonded portion 9 is formed by winding up the first connecting body 13 with the first wrapping paper 6 without coating. Then, the smoking article 1 is used with at least a portion of the winding member 2 detached at the non-bonded portion 9 and at least a portion of the heat source 3 exposed so as to be heated by ignition.

なお、非接着部９が存在するのであれば、接着部８を巻上用部材２の側の全域に形成しなくても良い。また、第１巻紙６の両端からそれぞれ巻上用部材２の先端を必ずしも突出させる必要はない。 If the non-bonded portion 9 exists, the bonded portion 8 does not need to be formed over the whole area of the hoisting member 2 side. Further, it is not necessary to project the ends of the winding members 2 from both ends of the first paper roll 6 respectively.

[第１切断工程]（ステップＳ３）
次に図５に示すように、第１連続体１４を香味源材料１２の破線で示す箇所において図示しないカッターで切断して二分し、巻上用部材２、熱源３、香味源材料１２を二分して形成した香味源４をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べた中間ロッド１５を２つ形成する。[First Cutting Step] (Step S3)
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the first continuous body 14 is cut by a cutter (not shown) at the portion indicated by the dashed line of the flavor source material 12 to divide the winding member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source material 12 into two parts. Two intermediate rods 15 are formed by arranging the flavor sources 4 thus formed in a row in the axial direction X in this order.

[第２配列工程]（ステップＳ４）
次に図６に示すように、２つの中間ロッド１５を軸線方向Ｘに離間させたうえで、中間ロッド１５間にフィルタ部材材料１６を供給する。２つの中間ロッド１５はステップＳ３で切断した状態の向きのままで良く、反転しての向き変更は不要である。フィルタ部材材料１６は、軸線方向Ｘにおいてフィルタ要素１１の２倍程度の長さを有するフィルタ要素材料１７と、フィルタ要素材料１７の両端にそれぞれ配置された管１０とから形成されている。[Second arranging step] (Step S4)
Next, as shown in FIG. 6 , the two intermediate rods 15 are spaced apart in the axial direction X, and the filter member material 16 is supplied between the intermediate rods 15 . The two intermediate rods 15 may remain in the direction they were cut in step S3, and there is no need to change the direction by reversing. The filter member material 16 is formed from a filter element material 17 having a length in the axial direction X approximately twice the length of the filter element 11 and tubes 10 arranged at both ends of the filter element material 17 .

フィルタ部材材料１６の供給は、管１０、フィルタ要素材料１７、管１０をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べた後に行っても良いし、管１０、フィルタ要素材料１７、管１０を個別に供給して配列することによりフィルタ要素材料１７として供給するようにしても良い。そして、フィルタ部材材料１６の両端にそれぞれ２つの中間ロッド１５の香味源４の側を向けて、中間ロッド１５、フィルタ部材材料１６、中間ロッド１５をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べた第２連結体１８を形成する。 The filter member material 16 may be supplied after the tubes 10, the filter element material 17, and the tubes 10 are aligned in the axial direction X in this order, or the tubes 10, the filter element material 17, and the tubes 10 may be supplied separately. It may be supplied as the filter element material 17 by being supplied and arranged. Then, the intermediate rod 15, the filter member material 16, and the intermediate rod 15 are arranged in a row in the axial direction X in this order, with the flavor source 4 sides of the two intermediate rods 15 directed toward both ends of the filter member material 16, respectively. Form a two-link body 18 .

[第２巻上工程]（ステップＳ５）
次に図７に示すように、第２連結体１８を第２巻紙７で巻き上げて第２連続体１９を形成する。具体的には、ステップＳ２の場合と同様の巻上ユニットに第２巻紙７を供給し、第２巻紙７上に第２連結体１８を配置する。そして、巻上ローラにより、第２巻紙７を軸線方向Ｘにおいてフィルタ部材材料１６から２つの中間ロッド１５の香味源４に至る連続した領域に亘って実質的に均一に押圧しながら巻き上げる。[Second Winding Process] (Step S5)
Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the second connected body 18 is rolled up with the second wrapping paper 7 to form the second continuous body 19 . Specifically, the second paper roll 7 is supplied to the same winding unit as in step S2, and the second connecting body 18 is placed on the second paper roll 7. As shown in FIG. The winding roller then winds up the second wrapping paper 7 in the axial direction X with substantially uniform pressure over a continuous area from the filter member material 16 to the flavor source 4 of the two intermediate rods 15 .

この巻き上げに際し、第２連結体１８の両端にそれぞれ香味源４が位置付けられることにより、フィルタ部材材料１６及び中間ロッド１５の香味源４の周面を偏りなく第２巻紙７により均一に巻き上げることができる。従って、第２連結体１８の巻上適正が向上し、喫煙物品１の巻き上げに係る適合品質を満たした第２連続体１９が形成される。 At the time of winding up, the flavor sources 4 are positioned at both ends of the second connecting body 18, so that the peripheral surfaces of the filter member material 16 and the intermediate rod 15 of the flavor sources 4 can be evenly and evenly wound up by the second wrapping paper 7. can. Therefore, the winding suitability of the second connecting body 18 is improved, and the second continuous body 19 satisfying the fitting quality for winding up the smoking article 1 is formed.

また、第２連続体１９においては、第２巻紙７の両端からそれぞれ中間ロッド１５の熱源３の少なくとも一部が突出されている。これにより、喫煙物品１において巻上用部材２を離脱させる際に第２巻紙７の引き裂きは不要となるため、巻上用部材２の離脱が容易となる。 Also, in the second continuous body 19 , at least part of the heat source 3 of the intermediate rod 15 protrudes from both ends of the second wrapping paper 7 . This eliminates the need to tear the second wrapping paper 7 when the winding member 2 is to be removed from the smoking article 1, thereby facilitating the removal of the winding member 2.

また、第２連結体１８を第２巻紙７で巻き上げたときに、図示しない接着部において適宜接着され、これにより、第２連続体１９におけるフィルタ部材材料１６と中間ロッド１５との連結が強固となる。 Further, when the second connecting body 18 is wound up with the second wrapping paper 7, it is appropriately adhered at the bonding portion (not shown), whereby the connection between the filter member material 16 and the intermediate rod 15 in the second continuous body 19 is strong. Become.

[第２切断工程]（ステップＳ６）
次に図８に示すように、第２連続体１９をフィルタ部材材料１６の破線で示す箇所において図示しないカッターで切断して二分し、巻上用部材２、熱源３、香味源４、フィルタ部材材料１６を二分して形成したフィルタ部材５をこれらの順に軸線方向Ｘに一列に並べた喫煙物品１を２つ形成する。これにより、喫煙物品１の製造工程が終了する。[Second Cutting Step] (Step S6)
Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the second continuous body 19 is cut by a cutter (not shown) at the portion indicated by the broken line of the filter member material 16 into two parts, and the winding member 2, the heat source 3, the flavor source 4, and the filter member are separated. Two smoking articles 1 are formed by arranging the filter members 5 formed by dividing the material 16 in two in a row in the axial direction X in this order. This completes the manufacturing process of the smoking article 1 .

図９は、喫煙物品１から巻上用部材２を離脱させた状態を示す。ユーザーは、喫煙物品１を使用する際に巻上用部材２を軸線方向Ｘに引っ張ることにより、第１巻紙６が非接着部９において周方向に引き裂かれ、喫煙物品１から巻上用部材２をもぎ取るようにして離脱可能である。これにより、図９に示すように喫煙物品１の先端に熱源３が露出した状態となり、熱源３への着火が可能となる。なお、喫煙物品１の製造工程に巻上用部材２を離脱する工程を設け、巻上用部材２を離脱した後の喫煙物品１を完成品として扱っても良い。 FIG. 9 shows a state in which the winding member 2 is detached from the smoking article 1. As shown in FIG. The user pulls the winding member 2 in the axial direction X when using the smoking article 1, so that the first wrapping paper 6 is torn in the circumferential direction at the non-bonded portion 9, and the winding member 2 is removed from the smoking article 1. It is possible to detach by tearing off the As a result, the heat source 3 is exposed at the tip of the smoking article 1 as shown in FIG. 9, and the heat source 3 can be ignited. A step of removing the winding member 2 may be provided in the manufacturing process of the smoking article 1, and the smoking article 1 after removing the winding member 2 may be treated as a finished product.

ここで、喫煙物品１から巻上用部材２を離脱させる際、巻上用部材２のみを非接着部９において喫煙物品１から確実に離脱するためには、ユーザーは、指で触った感触を頼りにすることが多い。つまり、喫煙物品１の使用に際し、巻上用部材２の存在、ひいては、巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界（つまり非接着部９の位置）が触感により判別し難い場合、ユーザーは巻上用部材２のみならず熱源３をも一緒に離脱、或いは、香味源４を含む中間ロッド１５ごと離脱してしまうおそれがある。 Here, when detaching the hoisting member 2 from the smoking article 1, in order to reliably detach only the hoisting member 2 from the smoking article 1 at the non-bonded portion 9, the user should feel the finger touch. I often rely on it. In other words, when using the smoking article 1, if the presence of the winding member 2 and, by extension, the boundary between the winding member 2 and the heat source 3 (that is, the position of the non-bonded portion 9) is difficult to discern by touch, the user may wind the smoking article 1. There is a risk that not only the top-use member 2 but also the heat source 3 may be detached together, or the intermediate rod 15 including the flavor source 4 may be detached.

そこで、本実施形態では、喫煙物品１において前述した巻上適正のさらなる向上を図るとともに、喫煙物品１から巻上用部材２のみを触感により容易に離脱可能とする離脱適正を喫煙物品１に付与するべく、喫煙物品１の硬さ評価工程を行う。
以下、図１０の硬さ評価工程を示すフローチャートを参照し、硬さ評価工程について説明する。Therefore, in the present embodiment, the smoking article 1 is further improved in the winding suitability described above, and the smoking article 1 is imparted with a detachment suitability that allows only the winding member 2 to be easily detached from the smoking article 1 by tactile sensation. In order to do so, a hardness evaluation step of the smoking article 1 is performed.
The hardness evaluation process will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10 showing the hardness evaluation process.

[硬さ測定]（ステップＳ１１）
硬さ評価工程が開始されると、先ず、巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源材料１２の硬さ測定を行う。
図１１は、硬さ測定で用いる硬さ測定ユニット２０の側面図を示す。[Hardness measurement] (Step S11)
When the hardness evaluation process is started, first, the hardness of the winding member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source material 12 is measured.
FIG. 11 shows a side view of the hardness measurement unit 20 used for hardness measurement.

硬さ測定ユニット２０は、ベース２１、一対の支持壁２２、２本の下側ロッド２３、２本の上側ロッド２４、及び昇降器２５などを備えている。一対の支持壁２２は、ベース２１に平行に立設され、図１１の奥行方向に延設されている。２本の下側ロッド２３は、一対の支持壁２２の間においてベース２１に固体され、一対の支持壁２２と平行に延設されている。２本の上側ロッド２４は、２本の下側ロッド２３の上側に対向して配置され、昇降器２５に昇降自在に支持されている。 The hardness measurement unit 20 includes a base 21, a pair of support walls 22, two lower rods 23, two upper rods 24, an elevator 25, and the like. A pair of support walls 22 are erected parallel to the base 21 and extend in the depth direction of FIG. Two lower rods 23 are fixed to the base 21 between the pair of support walls 22 and extend parallel to the pair of support walls 22 . The two upper rods 24 are arranged to face the upper sides of the two lower rods 23 and are supported by an elevator 25 so as to be movable up and down.

先ず、巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源材料１２の何れか（以下、測定対象Ａとも称する）を、対となる支持壁２２と下側ロッド２３とにそれぞれ架け渡して配置する。支持壁２２及び下側ロッド２３の延設方向に沿って測定対象Ａを多数配置することにより、一度に多数（例えば２０本）の測定対象Ａの硬さ測定が可能である。なお、香味源材料１２を二分した後の香味源４も香味源材料１２と同じ硬さを有するため、喫煙物品１自体や、それを構成する香味源４を測定対象Ａとしても良い。 First, any one of the hoisting member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source material 12 (hereinafter also referred to as measurement object A) is placed across the pair of support walls 22 and lower rods 23, respectively. By arranging a large number of measurement objects A along the extending direction of the support wall 22 and the lower rod 23, it is possible to measure the hardness of a large number (for example, 20) of the measurement objects A at one time. Since the flavor source 4 after halving the flavor source material 12 also has the same hardness as the flavor source material 12, the smoking article 1 itself or the flavor source 4 constituting the smoking article 1 may be used as the measuring object A.

次に、昇降器２５を作動させて図１１の矢印方向に上側ロッド２４を下降すると、測定対象Ａが上側ロッド２４と下側ロッドとの間に挟まれ、測定対象Ａに荷重が付与される。測定対象Ａを軸線方向Ｘにずらすことにより、測定対象Ａの所望の位置に荷重を付与することができる。なお、測定対象Ａの硬さを測定する際は、測定対象Ａの長手方向の中央部分に荷重を付与して測定するのが好ましい。 Next, when the elevator 25 is operated to lower the upper rod 24 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. . By shifting the object A to be measured in the axial direction X, a load can be applied to a desired position of the object A to be measured. When measuring the hardness of the measurement object A, it is preferable to apply a load to the central portion of the measurement object A in the longitudinal direction.

硬さ測定は、２０本の測定対象Ａに対して１９．６Ｎの荷重を２０秒間継続して付与したときの個々の測定対象Ａの変形量の平均値に基づいて行われる。
図１２は、荷重Ｆを付与する前の測定対象Ａの断面形状を一点鎖線で示し、荷重Ｆを付与したときの測定対象Ａの断面形状を実線で示す。測定対象Ａは、荷重Ｆを付与する前は断面円形であって初期高さＨ１（＝測定対象Ａの直径）を有し、荷重Ｆを付与したときには断面楕円形となって残高さＨ２を有する。The hardness measurement is performed based on the average value of the amount of deformation of each object A when a load of 19.6 N is continuously applied to 20 objects A to be measured for 20 seconds.
FIG. 12 shows the cross-sectional shape of the measurement object A before the load F is applied by a dashed line, and shows the cross-sectional shape of the measurement object A when the load F is applied by the solid line. The measurement object A has a circular cross section and an initial height H1 (=the diameter of the measurement object A) before the load F is applied, and becomes an elliptical cross section and has a balance H2 when the load F is applied. .

本実施形態では、測定対象Ａの硬さを次式に基づいて算出する。
・硬さ（％）＝（Ｈ２／Ｈ１）×１００
この式によれば、初期高さＨ１に対する残高さＨ２の割合（百分率）に基づいて個々の測定対象Ａの硬さを測定する。そして、本評価では、測定した２０本の測定対象Ａの硬さの平均値を算出し、この平均値を測定対象Ａの硬さ、つまり、巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源材料１２の何れかの硬さと規定する。以降同様とする。In this embodiment, the hardness of the object A to be measured is calculated based on the following equation.
・Hardness (%) = (H2/H1) x 100
According to this formula, the hardness of each measuring object A is measured based on the ratio (percentage) of the balance H2 to the initial height H1. Then, in this evaluation, the average value of the hardness of the measured 20 measurement objects A is calculated, and this average value is the hardness of the measurement object A, that is, the winding member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source material. Defined as any hardness of 12. The same applies hereafter.

初期高さＨ１から残高さＨ２を減じた差分（ΔＨ）が小さいほど硬さの数値は大きくなり、測定対象Ａが硬いと判定される。なお、熱源３が炭素熱源である場合、測定対象Ａを炭素熱源として硬さを特定すると、残高さＨ２は初期高さＨ１と等しくなり、硬さの実測値は１００％であった。従って、熱源３の硬さを１００％と規定して以下の説明を行う。 The smaller the difference (ΔH) obtained by subtracting the balance H2 from the initial height H1, the larger the numerical value of hardness, and it is determined that the object A to be measured is hard. When the heat source 3 is a carbon heat source, the balance H2 is equal to the initial height H1 and the measured hardness is 100% when the hardness is specified with the measurement object A as the carbon heat source. Therefore, the hardness of the heat source 3 is defined as 100% in the following description.

そして、巻上適正及び離脱適正の双方を向上するためには、発明者の実験により、熱源の硬さＨｈを１００％と規定したとき、巻上用部材２の硬さＨｗと香味源材料１２の硬さＨｆの好ましい数値は６０％以上であって９５％以下であり、さらに好ましくは６５％以上であって８０％以下であり、さらに好ましくは、巻上用部材２の硬さＨｗと香味源材料１２の硬さＨｆとの数値差は３０％以下であり、さらに好ましくは、この硬さの数値差は１５％以下であると判明している。従って、本実施形態では、以下のステップＳ１２～Ｓ１４の少なくとも何れかの判定を行うことにより硬さ評価を行う。 Further, in order to improve both the winding-up suitability and the detachment suitability, when the hardness Hh of the heat source is defined as 100%, the hardness Hw of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 The hardness Hf of the winding member 2 is preferably 60% or more and 95% or less, more preferably 65% or more and 80% or less, and still more preferably, the hardness Hw of the winding member 2 and the flavor It has been found that the numerical difference from the hardness Hf of the source material 12 is no more than 30%, and more preferably the numerical difference in hardness is no more than 15%. Therefore, in the present embodiment, hardness evaluation is performed by performing determination in at least one of the following steps S12 to S14.

[第１硬さ判定]（ステップＳ１２）
図１０に示すように、熱源３の硬さＨｈを１００％と規定したとき、巻上用部材２の硬さＨｗ及び香味源材料１２の硬さＨｆは６０％以上であって９５％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、喫煙物品１において熱源３とその両側に隣接する巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２との硬さの差（（Ｈｈ－Ｈｗ）及び（Ｈｈ－Ｈｆ））がある程度は存在するため、要求される巻上適正を確保可能であり、且つ、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２が熱源３よりも柔らかく、ユーザーが巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界を触感により認識し易いため、要求される離脱適正を確保可能と判定し、ステップＳ１５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[First Hardness Determination] (Step S12)
As shown in FIG. 10, when the hardness Hh of the heat source 3 is defined as 100%, the hardness Hw of the winding member 2 and the hardness Hf of the flavor source material 12 are 60% or more and 95% or less. Determine whether or not there is If the determination result is Yes, the difference in hardness ((Hh-Hw) and (Hh-Hf)) between the heat source 3 and the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 adjacent to both sides of the heat source 3 in the smoking article 1 is is present, it is possible to ensure the required winding appropriateness, and the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are softer than the heat source 3, so that the user can make the boundary between the winding member 2 and the heat source 3 Since it is easy to recognize by tactile sensation, it is determined that the required detachment appropriateness can be ensured, and after proceeding to step S15 and permitting acceptance, this process ends.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２が柔らかすぎて巻上適正を確保できない、或いは、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２が熱源３と同じくらい硬いために巻上用部材２及び熱源３の離脱、或いは、中間ロッド１５ごとの離脱を招くおそれがあり、離脱適正を確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ１６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are too soft to ensure proper winding, or the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are as hard as the heat source 3. There is a risk that the hoisting member 2 and the heat source 3 will be detached, or the detachment of the intermediate rod 15 will be caused, and it is determined that the detachment appropriateness cannot be ensured. finish.

[第２硬さ判定]（ステップＳ１３）
熱源３の硬さＨｈを１００％と規定したとき、巻上用部材２の硬さＨｗと香味源材料１２の硬さＨｆとの差が３０％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との硬さの差（｜Ｈｗ－Ｈｆ｜（絶対値））が比較的小さいため、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との硬さが近づくことにより巻上適正がさらに向上し、且つ、巻上用部材２と香味源４とに挟まれた熱源３の硬さがさらに強調され、ユーザーが巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界を触感によってさらに認識し易いため、離脱適正がさらに向上すると判定し、ステップＳ１５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[Second Hardness Determination] (Step S13)
Assuming that the hardness Hh of the heat source 3 is 100%, it is determined whether or not the difference between the hardness Hw of the winding member 2 and the hardness Hf of the flavor source material 12 is 30% or less. If the determination result is Yes, the difference in hardness between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 (|Hw−Hf| (absolute value)) is relatively small, so the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are relatively small. As the hardness of the winding approaches, the winding suitability is further improved, and the hardness of the heat source 3 sandwiched between the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 is further emphasized, and the user can enjoy the winding member 2 and Since it is easier to recognize the boundary with the heat source 3 by tactile sensation, it is determined that the detachment suitability is further improved.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の硬さの差が大きすぎて巻上適正を確保できない、或いは、巻上用部材２又は香味源材料１２が熱源３と同じくらい硬いことにより当該硬さの差が生じている場合、巻上用部材２及び熱源３の離脱、或いは、中間ロッド１５ごとの離脱を招くおそれがあり、離脱適正を確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ１６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the difference in hardness between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is too large to ensure proper winding, or the winding member 2 or the flavor source material 12 is If there is a difference in hardness due to being as hard as , the process proceeds to step S16 to reject acceptance, and then terminates this process.

[第３硬さ判定]（ステップＳ１４）
熱源３の硬さＨｈを１００％と規定したとき、巻上用部材２の硬さＨｗと香味源材料１２の硬さＨｆとの差が１５％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、巻上用部材２と香味源４との硬さの差（｜Ｈｗ－Ｈｆ｜）がさらに小さいため、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との硬さがさらに近づくことにより巻上適正がより一層向上し、且つ、巻上用部材２と香味源４とに挟まれた熱源３の硬さがより一層強調され、ユーザーが巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界を触感によりさらに認識し易いため、離脱適正がより一層向上すると判定し、ステップＳ１５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[Third Hardness Determination] (Step S14)
Assuming that the hardness Hh of the heat source 3 is 100%, it is determined whether or not the difference between the hardness Hw of the winding member 2 and the hardness Hf of the flavor source material 12 is 15% or less. If the determination result is Yes, the hardness difference (|Hw−Hf|) between the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 is even smaller, so the hardness between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is further reduced. By approaching, the winding appropriateness is further improved, and the hardness of the heat source 3 sandwiched between the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 is further emphasized, and the user can easily connect the winding member 2 and the heat source 3. Since it is easier to recognize the boundary between the two by tactile sensation, it is determined that the detachment suitability is further improved.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源４の硬さが若干大きすぎて巻上適正を必ずしも確保できない、或いは、巻上用部材２及び香味源４の離脱、或いは中間ロッド１５ごとの離脱を招くおそれを払拭できず、離脱適正を必ずしも確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ１６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the hardness of the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 is slightly too large to ensure proper winding, or the winding member 2 and the flavor source 4 are detached or intermediate. It is determined that the possibility of causing the detachment of each rod 15 cannot be eliminated, and it is determined that the detachment properness cannot necessarily be ensured.

ここで、前述した第１巻上工程で接着部において第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６とを偏りなく接着するためには、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の圧縮強度が重要である。喫煙物品の製造工程において、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２が製造過程において圧し潰される可能性があり、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２が圧し潰された状態で第１巻上工程が行われると、巻上適正の悪化は勿論のこと、接着部８に隙間が生じて第１連結体１３ひいては喫煙物品１の接着不良を招くからである。 Here, in order to evenly bond the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6 at the bonding portion in the first winding step described above, the compressive strength of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is important. be. In the manufacturing process of the smoking article, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 may be crushed during the manufacturing process. This is because, if the process is carried out, not only the properness of winding is deteriorated, but also a gap is generated in the adhesive part 8 , resulting in poor adhesion of the first connecting body 13 and thus the smoking article 1 .

そこで、本実施形態では、喫煙物品１において巻上適正のさらなる向上を図るとともに、接着部８における第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６との接着を適正に行う、いわば接着適正を喫煙物品１に付与するべく、喫煙物品１の復元率評価工程を行う。
以下、図１３の復元率評価工程を示すフローチャートを参照し、復元率評価工程について説明する。Therefore, in the present embodiment, the smoking article 1 is designed to further improve the winding properness, and to perform proper adhesion between the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6 at the adhesion portion 8. In order to give the smoking article 1 a recovery rate evaluation step.
The recovery rate evaluation process will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 13 showing the recovery rate evaluation process.

[復元率測定]（ステップＳ２１）
復元率評価工程が開始されると、先ず、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率測定を行う。
図１４は、復元率測定で用いる復元率測定ユニット３０の側面図を示す。[Restoration rate measurement] (Step S21)
When the recovery rate evaluation process is started, first, the recovery rate measurement of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is performed.
FIG. 14 shows a side view of the recovery rate measurement unit 30 used for recovery rate measurement.

復元率測定ユニット３０は、ベース３１、円盤３２、及び昇降器３３などを備えている。円盤３２は、その円形面がベース３１に向けて配置され、昇降器３３に昇降自在に支持されている。 The recovery rate measuring unit 30 includes a base 31, a disc 32, an elevator 33, and the like. The disk 32 is arranged with its circular surface facing the base 31 and supported by an elevator 33 so as to be able to move up and down.

先ず、巻上用部材２又は香味源材料１２（以下、測定対象Ｂとも称する）をベース３１に載置した後、昇降器３３を作動させて図１４に示すように円盤３２を下降すると、測定対象Ｂが円盤３２とベース３１との間に挟まれ、測定対象Ｂに荷重が付与される。なお、香味源材料１２を二分した後の香味源４も香味源材料１２と同じ復元率を有するため、香味源４を測定対象Ｂとしても良い。 First, after placing the winding member 2 or the flavor source material 12 (hereinafter also referred to as measurement target B) on the base 31, the elevator 33 is operated to lower the disk 32 as shown in FIG. An object B is sandwiched between the disk 32 and the base 31, and a load is applied to the object B to be measured. Note that the flavor source 4 after halving the flavor source material 12 also has the same restoration rate as the flavor source material 12, so the flavor source 4 may be the object B to be measured.

復元率測定は、測定対象Ｂに、測定対象Ｂを直径の１／２まで圧縮させる荷重を１分間付与した後、５分間放置したときの楕円率に基づいて行われる。
図１５は、荷重Ｆを付与する前の測定対象Ｂの断面形状を一点鎖線で示し、荷重Ｆを付与して放置した直後の測定対象Ｂの断面形状を実線で示す。The recovery rate measurement is performed based on the ellipticity when a load for compressing the measurement object B to 1/2 of the diameter is applied to the measurement object B for 1 minute and then left for 5 minutes.
FIG. 15 shows the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object B before the load F is applied with a dashed line, and the cross-sectional shape of the measuring object B immediately after the load F is applied and left as it is shown with a solid line.

測定対象Ｂは、荷重Ｆを付与する前はほぼ断面円形であって、荷重Ｆを付与して放置した直後には断面楕円形となって長径Ｄａ及び短径Ｄｂを有する。
本実施形態では、測定対象Ｂの楕円率を次式に基づいて算出する。
・楕円率（％）＝２（Ｄａ－Ｄｂ）／（Ｄａ＋Ｄｂ）×１００
この式によれば、長径Ｄａから短径Ｄｂを減じた差分が小さいほど楕円率の数値は小さくなり、測定対象Ｂの復元率が大きいと判定される。The object B to be measured has a substantially circular cross-section before the load F is applied, and becomes an elliptical cross-section immediately after the load F is applied and has a major axis Da and a minor axis Db.
In this embodiment, the ellipticity of the object B to be measured is calculated based on the following equation.
・ Ellipticity (%) = 2 (Da - Db) / (Da + Db) x 100
According to this formula, the smaller the difference obtained by subtracting the minor axis Db from the major axis Da, the smaller the numerical value of the ellipticity.

そして、巻上適正及び接着適正の双方を向上するためには、発明者の実験により、巻上用部材２の楕円率Ｅｗと香味源材料１２の楕円率Ｅｆとの好ましい数値は４０％以下であり、さらに好ましくは、巻上用部材２の楕円率Ｅｗと香味源材料１２の楕円率Ｅｆとの数値差は３０％以下であり、さらに好ましくは、この楕円率の数値差は１５％以下であると判明している。従って、本実施形態では、以下のステップＳ２２～Ｓ２４の少なくとも何れかの判定を行うことにより楕円率評価を行う。 In order to improve both the winding properness and the bonding properness, according to experiments conducted by the inventors, the preferred numerical values of the ellipticity Ew of the winding member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 are 40% or less. More preferably, the numerical difference between the ellipticity Ew of the winding member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 is 30% or less, and more preferably 15% or less. It turns out there is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the ellipticity is evaluated by performing at least one of the determinations in steps S22 to S24 below.

[第１楕円率判定]（ステップＳ２２）
図１３に示すように、巻上用部材２の楕円率Ｅｗと香味源材料１２の楕円率Ｅｆとが４０％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率が比較的大きいため、要求される巻上適正を確保可能であり、且つ、第１巻上工程で接着部８において第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６とを偏りなく接着可能と判定し、ステップＳ２５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[First Ellipticity Determination] (Step S22)
As shown in FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the ellipticity Ew of the winding member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 are 40% or less. If the determination result is Yes, since the restoration rate of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is relatively large, it is possible to ensure the required winding appropriateness, and It is determined that the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6 can be evenly adhered, and after proceeding to step S25 and accepting permission, this process ends.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率が小さいため、巻上適正が確保できない、或いは、製造工程で生じた巻上用部材２又は香味源材料１２の凹みが接着部８において非接着領域を生じさせる、或いは、接着部８における第１巻紙６の剥離が生じ易くなるため、接着適正を確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ２６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the restoration rate of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is small, so the winding appropriateness cannot be ensured, or the winding member 2 or the flavor source material 12 generated in the manufacturing process The dent in the adhesive portion 8 causes a non-adhesive area, or the first wrapping paper 6 is likely to peel off in the adhesive portion 8. Therefore, it is determined that the adequacy of adhesion cannot be ensured, and the process proceeds to step S26 to refuse acceptance. After that, the process ends.

[第２楕円率判定]（ステップＳ２３）
次に、巻上用部材２の楕円率Ｅｗと香味源材料１２の楕円率Ｅｆとの差が３０％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との楕円率の差（｜Ｅｗ－Ｅｆ｜（絶対値））が比較的小さいため、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との復元率が近づくことにより巻上適正がさらに向上し、且つ、接着部８における巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との接着態様に差異が生じ難いことにより接着適正がさらに向上すると判定し、ステップＳ２５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[Second Ellipticity Determination] (Step S23)
Next, it is determined whether or not the difference between the ellipticity Ew of the winding member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 is 30% or less. If the determination result is Yes, the difference in ellipticity between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 (|Ew−Ef| (absolute value)) is relatively small, so the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are relatively small. It is determined that the winding suitability is further improved by bringing the restoration rate closer to and that the adhesion suitability is further improved by making it difficult to cause a difference in the adhesion state between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 at the adhesion portion 8. Then, the process proceeds to step S25, and after acceptance is permitted, this process ends.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率の差が大きすぎて巻上適正を確保できない、或いは、接着部８における巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との接着態様に差異によって接着不良を招くおそれがあり、接着適正を確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ２６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the difference in restoration rate between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is too large to ensure proper winding, or the winding member 2 and the flavor source material at the bonding portion 8 12 may lead to poor adhesion, and it is determined that the adequacy of adhesion cannot be ensured.

[第３楕円率判定]（ステップＳ２４）
次に、巻上用部材２の楕円率Ｅｗと香味源材料１２の楕円率Ｅｆとの差が１５％以下であるか否かを判定する。判定結果がＹｅｓの場合、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との楕円率の差（｜Ｅｗ－Ｅｆ｜）がさらに小さいため、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との復元率がさらに近づくことにより巻上適正がより一層向上し、且つ、接着部８における巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との接着態様の差異がさらに生じ難くなったことにより接着適正がより一層向上すると判定し、ステップＳ２５に移行して受入許可とした後、本工程を終了する。[Third Ellipticity Determination] (Step S24)
Next, it is determined whether or not the difference between the ellipticity Ew of the winding member 2 and the ellipticity Ef of the flavor source material 12 is 15% or less. If the determination result is Yes, the difference in ellipticity (|Ew−Ef|) between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is even smaller, so the recovery rate between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is It is believed that the winding-up suitability is further improved by moving closer to each other, and that the adhesion suitability is further improved by making it more difficult for the winding-up member 2 and the flavor source material 12 to be adhered differently at the adhesion portion 8 . After making a determination and proceeding to step S25 to permit acceptance, this process is terminated.

一方、判定結果がＮＯの場合、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率が若干大きすぎて巻上適正を必ずしも確保できない、或いは、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の接着不良を招くおそれを払拭できず、接着適正を必ずしも確保できないと判定し、ステップＳ２６に移行して受入拒否とした後、本工程を終了する。 On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the recovery rate of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is slightly too large to ensure proper winding, or the adhesion between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 is poor. It is determined that the adequacy of adhesion cannot necessarily be ensured, and the process proceeds to step S26 to reject acceptance, and then terminates this process.

以上のように本実施形態では、喫煙物品１をステップＳ１～Ｓ６の工程によって製造することにより、セグメント長が長くアスペクト比が大きなセグメント（構成部材）を使用して喫煙物品１を製造することができる。従って、製造時において、セグメントの転動を抑制するべくセグメントの姿勢を厳密に管理する必要はなく、また、そのための設備を用意しなくとも良いため、喫煙物品１の品質向上及び生産性向上の双方を実現することができる。 As described above, in the present embodiment, by manufacturing the smoking article 1 through steps S1 to S6, it is possible to manufacture the smoking article 1 using segments (constituent members) having a long segment length and a large aspect ratio. can. Therefore, it is not necessary to strictly control the posture of the segment to suppress rolling motion of the segment during manufacturing, and it is not necessary to prepare equipment for that purpose, which contributes to improving the quality and productivity of the smoking article 1. Both can be achieved.

また、第１切断工程では、第１連続体１４を香味源材料１２において切断して二分して２つの中間ロッド１５を形成し、第２切断工程では、第２連続体１９をフィルタ部材材料１６において切断して二分して２つの喫煙物品１を形成する。従って、軸線方向Ｘにおいて左右対称の連続体を二分して２つの同部材を形成することにより、予め切断或いは成形された多数の小さなセグメントを個別に供給して連結体、ひいては連続体を形成して喫煙物品１を製造する場合に比して、喫煙物品１を効率的に製造することができ、喫煙物品１の生産性が向上する。 Also, in the first cutting step, the first continuous body 14 is cut at the flavor source material 12 to form two intermediate rods 15 , and in the second cutting process, the second continuous body 19 is cut into the filter member material 16 . are cut in half to form two smoking articles 1 . Therefore, by bisecting a continuum symmetrical in the axial direction X to form two identical members, a large number of pre-cut or formed small segments are separately supplied to form a connected body, and thus a continuum. The smoking article 1 can be efficiently manufactured, and the productivity of the smoking article 1 is improved, as compared with the case where the smoking article 1 is manufactured by the method.

また、ステップＳ１～Ｓ６の一連の工程において、巻上用部材２は、各連結体１３、１８、中間ロッド１５、各連続体１４、１９の両端に常時位置付けられる。特に、第１連続体１４を形成するに際し、第１連結体１３を第１巻紙６により巻き上げるとき、巻上用部材２が両端に位置付けられることにより、喫煙物品１の巻上適正を向上することができ、喫煙物品１のさらなる品質向上を図ることができる。 Moreover, in the series of steps S1 to S6, the hoisting member 2 is always positioned at both ends of the connecting bodies 13, 18, the intermediate rod 15, and the continuous bodies 14, 19. As shown in FIG. In particular, when the first continuous body 14 is formed and the first continuous body 13 is wound up by the first wrapping paper 6, the winding members 2 are positioned at both ends, thereby improving the winding suitability of the smoking article 1. , and the quality of the smoking article 1 can be further improved.

また、第１巻上工程において、第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６とを接着する接着部８と、各熱源３のそれぞれの巻上用部材２の側において少なくとも熱源３の一部と接着されない非接着部９とが形成される。これにより、巻上用部材２の少なくとも一部を非接着部９にて離脱させ、熱源３の少なくとも一部を着火による加熱が可能に露出して使用することができる。 Further, in the first winding step, the bonding portion 8 that bonds the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6, and the winding member 2 side of each heat source 3 are bonded to at least a part of the heat source 3. A non-bonded portion 9 that is not bonded is formed. As a result, at least a portion of the winding member 2 can be separated at the non-bonded portion 9, and at least a portion of the heat source 3 can be exposed and used for heating by ignition.

また、前述した硬さ評価工程を行うことにより、喫煙物品１において巻上適正がさらに向上するとともに、喫煙物品１に離脱適正を付与することができる。詳しくは、硬さ評価工程では、巻上用部材２、熱源３、及び香味源材料１２に１９．６Ｎの荷重を２０秒間継続して付与したときの初期高さＨ１に対する残高さＨ２の割合に基づいて、これらの硬さを測定する。そして、第１硬さ判定を行うことにより、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２は、熱源３よりも柔らかく、ユーザーが巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界を触感により認識し易い、離脱適正が確保可能なもののみ受入許可を出す。 Further, by performing the hardness evaluation step described above, the winding suitability of the smoking article 1 can be further improved, and the smoking article 1 can be imparted with the detachment suitability. Specifically, in the hardness evaluation step, the ratio of the balance H2 to the initial height H1 when a load of 19.6 N is continuously applied to the winding member 2, the heat source 3, and the flavor source material 12 for 20 seconds. Measure these hardnesses on the basis of By performing the first hardness determination, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are softer than the heat source 3, and the user can easily recognize the boundary between the winding member 2 and the heat source 3 by touch. Acceptance permission will be issued only for those whose detachment suitability can be ensured.

さらに、第２及び第３硬さ判定を行うことにより、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２は、互いの硬さが近いことにより巻上適正がより一層向上し、且つ、喫煙物品１において巻上用部材２と香味源４とに挟まれた熱源３の硬さがより一層強調され、ユーザーが巻上用部材２と熱源３との境界を触感によりさらに認識し易い、離脱適正がより一層向上するもののみ受入許可を出す。なお、第１～第３硬さ判定のすべての判定を行うのではなく、少なくとも何れか１つの判定を行うようにしても良いし、第１～第３硬さ判定を順次行うようにしても良い。この場合であっても、喫煙物品１の巻上適正及び離脱適正が向上する。 Furthermore, by performing the second and third hardness determinations, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 are close in hardness to each other. The hardness of the heat source 3 sandwiched between the hoisting member 2 and the flavor source 4 is further emphasized, and the user can easily recognize the boundary between the hoisting member 2 and the heat source 3 by tactile sensation, and the detachment properness is enhanced. Acceptance will be given only to those that will improve further. It should be noted that not all of the first to third hardness determinations may be performed, but at least one determination may be performed, or the first to third hardness determinations may be performed sequentially. good. Even in this case, the smoking article 1 is improved in winding-up suitability and detachment suitability.

また、前述した復元率評価工程を行うことにより、喫煙物品１において巻上適正がさらに向上するとともに、喫煙物品１に接着適正を付与することができる。詳しくは、復元率評価工程は、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２に直径の１／２まで圧縮させる荷重を１分間付与した後、５分間放置したときの楕円率に基づいて、これらの復元率を測定する。そして、第１楕円率判定を行うことにより、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２は、復元率が比較的大きいため、要求される巻上適正を確保可能であり、且つ、第１巻上工程で接着部８において第１連結体１３と第１巻紙６とを偏りなく接着可能な接着適正を有するもののみ受入許可を出す。 Further, by performing the recovery rate evaluation step described above, the winding suitability of the smoking article 1 can be further improved, and the smoking article 1 can be given adhesion suitability. Specifically, in the recovery rate evaluation step, after applying a load for compressing the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 to 1/2 of their diameter for 1 minute, they are left for 5 minutes based on the ellipticity of these. Measure the recovery rate. Then, by performing the first ellipticity determination, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 have a relatively large recovery rate, so the required winding appropriateness can be secured, and the first winding In the process, acceptance permission is issued only for those having bonding aptitude that allows the first connecting body 13 and the first wrapping paper 6 to be evenly bonded at the bonding portion 8 .

さらに、第２及び第３楕円率判定を行うことにより、巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２とは、互いの復元率が近いことにより巻上適正がより一層向上し、且つ、接着部８における巻上用部材２と香味源材料１２との接着態様の差異がさらに生じ難くなったことにより接着適正がより一層向上するもののみ受入許可を出す。なお、第１～第３楕円率判定のすべての判定を行うのではなく、少なくとも何れか１つの判定を行うようにしても良いし、第１～第３楕円率判定を順次行うようにしても良い。この場合であっても、喫煙物品１の巻上適正及び接着適正が向上する。 Furthermore, by performing the second and third ellipticity determinations, the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 have similar recovery rates to each other. 2. Acceptance permission is given only to those whose bonding suitability is further improved due to the fact that the difference in the adhesion state between the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 in 1 is further reduced. It should be noted that at least one of the first to third ellipticity determinations may be performed instead of performing all of the first to third ellipticity determinations, or the first to third ellipticity determinations may be performed sequentially. good. Even in this case, the smoking article 1 can be rolled up and adhered appropriately.

このように、本実施形態の喫煙物品１は、巻上用部材２を備えることによる巻上適正の向上のみならず、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の硬さ評価により巻上適正のさらなる向上と、離脱適正の向上を図り、さらには、巻上用部材２及び香味源材料１２の復元率評価により巻上適正のさらなる向上と、接着適正の向上を図っている。 Thus, the smoking article 1 of the present embodiment not only improves the winding suitability by providing the winding member 2, but also improves the winding suitability by evaluating the hardness of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12. Further improvement and detachment suitability are attempted, and further improvement of winding suitability and adhesion suitability are attempted by evaluating the recovery rate of the winding member 2 and the flavor source material 12 .

以上で本発明の実施形態についての説明を終えるが、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更ができるものである。
例えば、上記実施形態により製造される喫煙物品１は、より好ましい形態が存在し、また、前述した構造に限定されるものではない。従って、前述した喫煙物品１の製造方法が適用可能な他の喫煙物品１の態様について以下に説明する。Although the description of the embodiments of the present invention is finished above, the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
For example, the smoking article 1 manufactured according to the above embodiment has more preferable forms, and is not limited to the structure described above. Therefore, another aspect of the smoking article 1 to which the manufacturing method of the smoking article 1 described above can be applied will be described below.

＜第２実施形態＞
図１６の喫煙物品１（中間ロッド１５のみを部分的に示す）に示すように、第１連結体１３に対し巻き上げたときの第１巻紙６の外周面６ａは、炭酸カルシウムなどの顔料がコーティングされていない非コーティング面である。また、第１巻紙６は、坪量が７０ｇ／ｍ２～１４０ｇ／ｍ２の範囲の高密度紙であるのが好ましい。なお、このような坪量範囲を有する第１巻紙６は、前述したように金属貼合紙、例えばアルミニウム貼合紙である場合もあり得る。<Second embodiment>
As shown in the smoking article 1 of FIG. 16 (only the intermediate rod 15 is partially shown), the outer peripheral surface 6a of the first wrapping paper 6 when rolled up on the first connecting body 13 is coated with a pigment such as calcium carbonate. It is the uncoated side that has not been coated. Also, the first paper roll 6 is preferably high-density paper with a basis weight in the range of 70 g/m2 to 140 g/m2. Note that the first wrapping paper 6 having such a basis weight range may be metal-bonded paper, such as aluminum-bonded paper, as described above.

第１巻紙６の外周面６ａを紙素材が剥き出しの非コーティング面とすることにより、喫煙物品１の生産コストを低減することができる。また、第１巻紙６を高密度紙とすることにより、喫煙物品１を使用中に熱源３が加熱したときの第１巻紙６の焦げが抑制され、また、第１巻紙６に適度な引張強度が付与されて第１巻紙６によるセグメントの連結が強固となる。これにより、喫煙物品１の品質がさらに向上する。 By making the outer peripheral surface 6a of the first wrapping paper 6 an uncoated surface where the paper material is exposed, the production cost of the smoking article 1 can be reduced. In addition, since the first wrapping paper 6 is made of high-density paper, scorching of the first wrapping paper 6 when the heat source 3 heats while the smoking article 1 is in use is suppressed. is given, and the connection of the segments by the first wrapping paper 6 is strengthened. Thereby, the quality of the smoking article 1 is further improved.

＜第３実施形態＞
図１７の喫煙物品１（中間ロッド１５のみを部分的に示す）に示すように、非接着部９は、接着部８に比して第１巻紙６の厚みが薄い薄肉部６ｃであって、薄肉部６ｃの厚みは第１巻紙６の厚みの例えば１／２以下である。これにより、非接着部９において巻上用部材２を離脱し易くなるため、喫煙物品１の離脱適正がさらに向上する。<Third Embodiment>
As shown in smoking article 1 (only intermediate rod 15 is partially shown) in FIG. The thickness of the thin portion 6c is, for example, 1/2 or less of the thickness of the first wrapping paper 6. As shown in FIG. As a result, the hoisting member 2 can be easily removed from the non-bonded portion 9, so that the removal suitability of the smoking article 1 is further improved.

＜第４実施形態＞
図１８の喫煙物品１（中間ロッド１５のみを部分的に示す）に示すように、第１連結体１３に対し巻き上げたときの第１巻紙６の内周面６ｂの内側には熱伝導要素４０が配置されている。熱伝導要素４０は、軸線方向Ｘにおいて、巻上用部材２から熱源３を経て香味源４に至る領域に配置され、第１連続体１４においては、両端の巻上用部材２に亘って配置される。<Fourth Embodiment>
As shown in smoking article 1 (only intermediate rod 15 is partially shown) in FIG. are placed. The heat-conducting element 40 is arranged in a region extending from the winding member 2 through the heat source 3 to the flavor source 4 in the axial direction X, and in the first continuous body 14, arranged over the winding members 2 at both ends. be done.

この場合において、第１巻紙６は、紙素材に熱伝導要素４０を貼り合わせて一体化したアルミニウム貼合紙であっても良い。このようなアルミニウム貼合紙は、紙、アルミニウムの二層（この場合、巻き上げ時の外周側が紙）であっても良いし、紙、アルミニウム、紙の三層であっても良い。また、第１巻紙６がアルミニウム貼合紙の場合、アルミニウムは香味源４の軸線方向Ｘの中央位置に存在しないのが好ましい。この中央部分にアルミニウムが存在しないことにより、第１切断工程における第１連続体１４の切断が容易になるという利点がある。 In this case, the first wrapping paper 6 may be aluminum-laminated paper in which the heat-conducting element 40 is laminated to a paper material and integrated. Such aluminum-laminated paper may be two layers of paper and aluminum (in this case, the outer peripheral side when rolled up is paper), or may be three layers of paper, aluminum, and paper. Moreover, when the first wrapping paper 6 is an aluminum-laminated paper, it is preferable that aluminum does not exist at the central position in the axial direction X of the flavor source 4 . The absence of aluminum in this central portion has the advantage of facilitating cutting of the first continuous body 14 in the first cutting step.

なお、第１連続体１４において２つの香味源材料１２に亘って配置するようにしても良い。熱伝導要素４０は、任意の材料で作ることができるが、金属箔（例えばアルミニウム箔）が好ましい。熱伝導要素４０を配置することにより、熱源３から香味源４への熱伝達が促進されるため、香味源４からエアロゾルをより一層効率的に生成可能である。 It should be noted that the first continuous body 14 may be arranged over two flavor source materials 12 . The heat-conducting element 40 can be made of any material, but metal foil (eg, aluminum foil) is preferred. Arranging the heat-conducting element 40 facilitates heat transfer from the heat source 3 to the flavor source 4 so that the aerosol can be generated from the flavor source 4 more efficiently.

＜第５実施形態＞
図１９は、第１巻紙６を広げて内周面６ｂの側から見た平面図を示す。第１巻紙６の内周面６ｂには熱伝導要素４０としての金属箔４１（例えばアルミニウム箔）が貼合され、第１巻紙６は金属貼合紙を構成する。金属箔４１は、第１巻紙６の巻き方向Ｙにおける両端部４２を除く、巻き方向Ｙの中央に３カ所に貼合されている。３カ所の金属箔４１は、２つの端部４２に亘って巻き方向Ｙに延設する２つの直線部４３を隔てて配置される。つまり、２つの端部４２と２つの直線部４３とは紙素材から形成される。<Fifth Embodiment>
FIG. 19 shows a plan view of the first wrapping paper 6 unfolded and viewed from the inner peripheral surface 6b side. A metal foil 41 (for example, an aluminum foil) as a heat conducting element 40 is bonded to the inner peripheral surface 6b of the first wrapping paper 6, and the first wrapping paper 6 constitutes a metal-bonded paper. The metal foil 41 is pasted at three locations in the center of the winding direction Y of the first wrapping paper 6 excluding both end portions 42 in the winding direction Y. As shown in FIG. The three metal foils 41 are arranged with two straight portions 43 extending in the winding direction Y across the two ends 42 . That is, the two end portions 42 and the two straight portions 43 are made of paper material.
