Description

香煙 cigarette

本發明係關於一種香煙。 The present invention relates to a cigarette.

已知有一種在捲裝香煙之煙草棒及濾嘴之外周面的捲裝構件(例如在煙草棒中捲裝煙草絲之捲紙、及捲裝濾嘴之外層紙等)塗覆熱變色性油墨的技術(參照例如專利文獻1至4等)。在將熱變色性油墨塗覆在捲裝構件之香煙中,會因吸煙時火種接近熱變色性油墨之塗覆區域時的溫度變化,造成熱變色性油墨之塗覆區域會感熱地變色。 It is known that a package member (for example, a roll of tobacco yarn wrapped in a tobacco rod, and a paper outside the package filter) is coated with a heat-discoloring property on the outer surface of the tobacco rod and the filter of the packaged cigarette. The technique of the ink (refer to, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4, etc.). In a cigarette in which a thermochromic ink is applied to a package member, the temperature of the coating of the thermochromic ink may change sensibly due to temperature changes when the fire is approaching the coating region of the thermochromic ink.

然而,香煙係在火種之極近處為高溫,另 一方面,當離火種稍遠時溫度會急劇降低。因此,在香煙之捲裝構件適用熱變色性油墨之情形時,有關要使用之熱變色性油墨的種類或其塗覆區域的制限多,而難謂選擇自由度非常廣泛。例如,在使用因感熱所產生之變色溫度較低之熱變色性油墨時,會有熱變色性油墨在吸煙前變色之虞。例如,當香煙曝露在夏季之自動販賣機或包包之中、車內等比較高溫的環境下時,會有塗覆在捲裝構件之熱變色性油墨在吸煙前變色之虞。 However, cigarettes are hot in the vicinity of the fire, and On the one hand, the temperature drops sharply when it is slightly further away from the fire. Therefore, in the case where the package member for a cigarette is applied with a thermochromic ink, there are many restrictions on the type of the thermochromic ink to be used or the coating region thereof, and it is difficult to say that the degree of freedom of selection is very wide. For example, when a thermochromic ink having a low discoloration temperature due to sensible heat is used, the thermochromic ink may be discolored before smoking. For example, when a cigarette is exposed to a relatively high temperature environment such as a vending machine or a bag in the summer, or a car, there is a possibility that the thermochromic ink coated on the package member is discolored before smoking.

另一方面,為了抑制熱變色性油墨在吸煙前變色,而使用變色溫度較高之熱變色性油墨之情形時,會有以下之問題。例如,在捲裝濾嘴之外層紙塗覆熱變色性油墨時,會有即使將香煙吸煙至根部,熱變色性油墨之塗覆區域的溫度亦不會到達至油墨之變色溫度區域,而使得熱變色性油墨不會變色之虞。另一方面,在煙草棒之捲紙塗覆熱變色性油墨時,熱變色性油墨雖會在火種極接近之時間點變色,但在熱變色性油墨變色後,該塗覆區域立即會燃燒完,因此難謂伴隨熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之吸引度為充分地高。 On the other hand, in order to suppress discoloration of the thermochromic ink before smoking, and to use a thermochromic ink having a high discoloration temperature, there are the following problems. For example, when the outer surface of the package filter is coated with the thermochromic ink, even if the cigarette is smoked to the root, the temperature of the coated region of the thermochromic ink does not reach the discoloration temperature region of the ink, so that Thermochromic inks do not discolor. On the other hand, when the tobacco rod roll paper is coated with the thermochromic ink, the thermochromic ink will change color at the time when the fire is very close, but after the thermochromic ink is discolored, the coated area will burn out immediately. Therefore, it is difficult to say that the degree of attraction to the smoker is sufficiently high accompanying the discoloration of the thermochromic ink.

本發明係鑑於上述課題而研發者,其目的在於提供以下技術:在捲裝香煙之外周面的捲裝構件塗覆熱變色性油墨時,抑制在吸煙前之熱變色性油墨的變色,且在吸煙時促進熱變色性油墨之變色,並且針對塗覆熱變色性油墨之部位可提高自由度。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for suppressing discoloration of a thermochromic ink before smoking when a package member on a peripheral surface of a packaged cigarette is coated with a thermochromic ink. The discoloration of the thermochromic ink is promoted during smoking, and the degree of freedom can be increased for the portion where the thermochromic ink is applied.

本發明係為了要解決上述課題,在香煙之濾嘴設置空洞狀之孔洞部,且在對應於孔洞部之位置、或比該孔洞部更靠近香煙之前端的位置上之捲裝構件塗覆熱變色性油墨。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a hollow-shaped hole portion in a filter of a cigarette, and a thermal discoloration of the package member at a position corresponding to the hole portion or at a position closer to the front end of the cigarette than the hole portion. Sex ink.

更詳細言之,本發明之香煙係具備包含煙草絲之煙草棒、及連接在前述煙草棒之後端側的濾嘴者,該香煙更具備:空洞狀之孔洞部,形成在前述濾嘴之一部分;及感熱變色部,形成在捲裝前述煙草棒及前述濾嘴之外周面的捲裝構件之至少一部分,且在該捲裝構件之外表面塗覆熱變色性油墨而成者;前述感熱變色部係在前述香煙之長度方向中,配置在與前述孔洞部對應之位置或配置為比該孔洞部更靠近前述香煙之前端側。 More specifically, the cigarette of the present invention includes a tobacco rod including tobacco yarn and a filter attached to the rear end side of the tobacco rod, and the cigarette further includes a hollow-shaped hole portion formed in one of the filter portions And a thermosensitive discoloration portion formed on at least a part of a package member that wraps the tobacco rod and the outer peripheral surface of the filter, and is coated with a thermochromic ink on the surface of the package member; The part is disposed at a position corresponding to the hole portion in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette or is disposed closer to the front end side of the cigarette than the hole portion.

在本發明中,就捲裝煙草棒及濾嘴之外周面的「捲裝構件」而言,可列舉捲裝煙草棒之煙草絲的煙絲用捲紙、及捲裝濾嘴之外周面的濾嘴用捲紙等。本發明之感熱變色部係藉由在上述捲裝構件之外表面塗覆熱變色性油墨而形成,在吸煙時因透過主流煙而移送之火種的熱而變色。在本說明書中之「變色」中,包含有熱變色性油墨從無色變化成有色之態樣(出現)、及從有色變化成無色之態樣(消失)。然而,熱變色性油墨從某個顏色變化成其他顏色之態樣當然亦包含在「變色」中。再者,濾嘴用捲紙係捲裝濾嘴之外周面的材料之總稱,可列舉例如藉由一體地捲取而連接濾嘴與煙草棒之後端側之外層紙等。 In the present invention, the "rolling member" of the outer surface of the packaged tobacco rod and the filter may be a tobacco shredded tobacco of a tobacco yarn wrapped with a tobacco rod, and a filter of the outer peripheral surface of the package filter. Use a roll of paper, etc. The thermochromic portion of the present invention is formed by applying a thermochromic ink to the surface of the package member, and is discolored by the heat of the fire that is transferred by the mainstream smoke during smoking. In the "discoloration" in the present specification, the thermochromic ink is changed from a colorless to a colored state (appearing), and from a colored to a colorless state (disappearing). However, the change of the thermochromic ink from a certain color to another color is of course also included in the "discoloration". In addition, the general name of the material of the outer peripheral surface of the filter paper roll filter is exemplified by, for example, integrally winding the filter and the end of the tobacco rod.

在上述構成之香煙中,由於在濾嘴之一部 分設置空洞狀之孔洞部,因此孔洞部內之空氣會發揮作為隔熱層之作用而抑制熱的擴散,藉此而可將孔洞部及其前段部之溫度保持在高溫。因此,即便使用變色溫度較高之熱變色性油墨,亦可藉由孔洞部之隔熱功能,而使感熱變色部之溫度到達至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度。此外,在此所謂之「變色溫度較高之熱變色性油墨」,係指即使香煙曝露在例如夏季之自動販賣機或包包之中、車內等比較高溫之環境下之情形時,亦可抑制塗覆於捲裝構件之熱變色性油墨在吸煙前產生變色之可判斷的溫度。 In the above-mentioned cigarette, due to one part of the filter Since the hollow portion is provided in a hollow portion, the air in the hole portion acts as a heat insulating layer to suppress the diffusion of heat, whereby the temperature of the hole portion and the front portion thereof can be maintained at a high temperature. Therefore, even if a thermochromic ink having a high discoloration temperature is used, the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion can be reached to the discoloration temperature of the thermochromic ink by the heat insulating function of the hole portion. In addition, the term "thermochromic ink having a high discoloration temperature" as used herein means that even if the cigarette is exposed to a relatively high temperature environment such as a vending machine or a bag in the summer or in a car, It is possible to suppress the temperature at which the thermochromic ink applied to the package member is discolored before smoking.

如上所述,感熱變色部係在香煙之長度方向中,可配置在對應於孔洞部之位置、或比該孔洞部更靠近香煙之前端的位置,亦可在捲裝濾嘴之外周面的濾嘴用捲紙及捲裝煙草絲之煙絲用捲紙之任一者形成感熱變色部。例如,在濾嘴用捲紙之外表面塗覆熱變色性油墨之情形時,可藉由孔洞部之隔熱功能,而在吸煙後迅速地使感熱變色部升溫至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度。藉此,可使吸煙者察覺到熱變色性油墨在吸煙時產生變色之過程,而且,可將油墨變色後之狀態較長地維持至吸煙結束為止。因此,可提升伴隨熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。 As described above, the thermochromic portion is disposed in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette, and may be disposed at a position corresponding to the hole portion or at a position closer to the front end of the cigarette than the hole portion, or may be a filter on the outer circumference of the package filter. The thermochromic portion is formed by any one of a roll paper and a roll of tobacco shredded tobacco. For example, when the surface of the filter paper is coated with a thermochromic ink, the heat-sensitive function of the hole portion can quickly increase the temperature of the thermochromic portion to the discoloration temperature of the thermochromic ink after smoking. . Thereby, the smoker can perceive the process in which the thermochromic ink is discolored during smoking, and the state in which the ink is discolored can be maintained until the end of smoking. Therefore, the visual appeal to the smoker accompanying the discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved.

再者,在捲裝煙草絲之煙絲用捲紙之外表面塗覆熱變色性油墨時,即使將感熱變色部形成在煙草棒之後端附近時,亦可藉由孔洞部之隔熱功能而在吸煙後迅速地使感熱變色部之溫度到達至熱變色性油墨之變色溫 度。亦即,在開始吸煙後,可在熱變色性油墨之塗覆區域尚距離火種之位置較遠之狀態下使熱變色性油墨變色。藉此,可在吸煙時使吸煙者察覺到熱變色性油墨變色之過程,且可將油墨變色後之狀態較長地維持至吸煙結束為止。因此,可提升伴隨熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。如以上所述,依據本發明,可抑制吸煙前之熱變色性油墨的變色,且在吸煙時促進熱變色性油墨之變色,而且可針對塗覆熱變色性油墨之部位充分地確保選擇之自由度。 Furthermore, when the thermochromic ink is coated on the outer surface of the roll paper of the tobacco shredded tobacco, even if the thermochromic portion is formed near the rear end of the tobacco rod, the heat insulating function of the hole portion can be utilized. Quickly bring the temperature of the thermochromic part to the discoloration temperature of the thermochromic ink after smoking degree. That is, after the smoking is started, the thermochromic ink may be discolored in a state where the coating area of the thermochromic ink is still far from the position of the fire. Thereby, the smoker can be made aware of the process of discoloration of the thermochromic ink at the time of smoking, and the state in which the ink is discolored can be maintained until the end of smoking. Therefore, the visual appeal to the smoker accompanying the discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved. As described above, according to the present invention, discoloration of the thermochromic ink before smoking can be suppressed, and discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be promoted at the time of smoking, and the freedom of selection can be sufficiently ensured for the portion where the thermochromic ink is applied. degree.

本發明之前述感熱變色部亦可形成在捲裝前述濾嘴之外周面的濾嘴用捲紙。即使在煙草棒伴隨吸煙而燃燒至根部(後端)時,由於捲裝濾嘴之外周面的濾嘴用捲紙不會燃燒,因此藉由在該種濾嘴用捲紙形成感熱變色部,可在吸煙時長期地維持使感熱變色部變色後之狀態。結果,可提升因熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。 The thermochromic portion of the present invention may be formed on a roll paper for a filter that is wound around the outer surface of the filter. Even when the tobacco rod is burned to the root (rear end) with smoking, since the filter paper for the peripheral surface of the package filter does not burn, the sensible discoloration portion is formed by the roll paper for the filter. The state in which the thermochromic portion is discolored can be maintained for a long period of time during smoking. As a result, the visual appeal to the smoker due to discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved.

此外,本發明之香煙亦可在前述濾嘴之前述孔洞部的前段連設有供過濾主流煙之前段過濾材。如此,在孔洞部之前段配置有前段過濾材時,與空洞狀之孔洞部相比較,配置有前段過濾材之部分(孔洞前段部)者之穿透濾嘴用捲紙而流入至濾嘴內部之外氣的穿透量相對地較少。因此,在香煙之吸煙時,與濾嘴之孔洞部相比較,孔洞前段部者係相對地維持在高溫。因此,前述感熱變色部亦可配置在前述濾嘴用捲紙中之對應於前述前段過濾材 的位置。藉此,可更顯著地促進熱變色性油墨之變色。 Further, the cigarette of the present invention may be provided with a filter material for filtering the mainstream smoke in the front portion of the aforementioned hole portion of the filter. When the front filter material is disposed in the front portion of the hole portion, the portion of the front filter material (the front portion of the hole) is placed in the filter paper and flows into the filter inside the hole portion. The amount of penetration of the outside air is relatively small. Therefore, when the cigarette is smoked, the front portion of the hole is relatively maintained at a high temperature as compared with the hole portion of the filter. Therefore, the thermochromic portion may be disposed in the filter paper roll corresponding to the front filter material. s position. Thereby, the discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be more significantly promoted.

再者,在前述濾嘴用捲紙係穿設有用以將外氣導入至前述濾嘴內之通風孔,前述通風孔亦可由因吸煙時之主流煙的熱而溶融之被覆材料所被覆。依據該構成,在吸煙開始時,由於通風孔由被覆材料所被覆,因此在吸煙初期時未透過通風孔進行外氣的導入,而可使感熱變色部之溫度迅速地上升至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度區域。然後,在感熱變色部變色後,由於被覆材料會因吸煙時之主流煙的熱而溶融,因此使濾嘴之內外經由通風孔而連通。結果,透過通風孔而進行外氣朝濾嘴內部之導入,而可稀釋主流煙。依據上述構成,由於不論配置通風孔之位置在何處,皆可使感熱變色部之溫度迅速地上升至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度區域,且可提升配置通風孔之位置的自由度。 Further, the filter paper roll is provided with a vent hole for introducing the outside air into the filter, and the vent hole may be covered with a covering material which is melted by the heat of the mainstream smoke during smoking. According to this configuration, since the vent hole is covered by the covering material at the start of smoking, the introduction of the outside air is not performed through the vent hole at the initial stage of smoking, and the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion can be rapidly increased to the thermochromic ink. Color changing temperature zone. Then, after the thermochromic portion is discolored, since the coating material is melted by the heat of the mainstream smoke during smoking, the inside and outside of the filter are communicated via the vent holes. As a result, the introduction of the outside air into the inside of the filter through the vent hole can dilute the mainstream smoke. According to the above configuration, the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion can be rapidly increased to the discoloration temperature region of the thermochromic ink regardless of the position of the vent hole, and the degree of freedom in arranging the vent hole can be improved.

此外,前述被覆材料之溶融溫度較佳為比前述熱變色性油墨之變色溫度更高。依此,可抑制被覆材料在熱變色性油墨變色之前溶融,且可適當地促進熱變色性油墨之變色。 Further, the melting temperature of the coating material is preferably higher than the discoloration temperature of the thermochromic ink. According to this, it is possible to suppress the coating material from melting before discoloration of the thermochromic ink, and to appropriately promote discoloration of the thermochromic ink.

再者,在前述濾嘴之前述孔洞部的前段連設有供過濾主流煙之前段過濾材時,亦可在前述濾嘴用捲紙中之對應前述前段過濾材的位置穿設用以將外氣導入至前述濾嘴內的通風孔。在濾嘴用捲紙穿設通風孔時,與將通風孔之穿設位置設為與孔洞部對應的位置之情形相比較,設為對應於前段過濾材之位置者可抑制外氣過度地導入至濾嘴內的情形,且可在吸煙時迅速地使熱變色性油墨 變色。 Further, when the filter material for filtering the mainstream of the mainstream smoke is connected to the front portion of the hole portion of the filter, the filter paper may be disposed at a position corresponding to the front filter material in the filter paper roll for external use. The gas is introduced into the vent holes in the aforementioned filter. When the vent hole is formed in the filter paper, the position corresponding to the position of the front filter material can be suppressed from being excessively introduced as compared with the case where the vent hole is disposed at a position corresponding to the hole portion. To the inside of the filter, and can quickly make the thermochromic ink when smoking Discoloration.

此外,捲裝煙草棒之外周面的煙絲用捲紙亦可具有0至25CU(CU:CORESTA Unit,CORESTA單位)之通氣度,藉由使用該種低通氣度型之煙絲用捲紙,即可減少來自煙絲用捲紙之外氣流入量。藉此,可使從火種部移送至感熱變色部之熱量増加,且更加地促進吸煙時之熱變色性油墨的變色。此外,煙絲用捲紙之通氣度係定義為,在煙絲用捲紙之上表面與下表面之差壓為100mmH2O時,在1分鐘內通過煙絲用捲紙1cm2之空氣的流量([CU]=[ml/cm2.min])。 In addition, the tobacco roll paper on the outer peripheral surface of the packaged tobacco rod may have a gas permeability of 0 to 25 CU (CU: CORESTA Unit, CORESTA unit), and by using the low-aeration type tobacco shredded paper, Reduce the amount of airflow from the tobacco roll. Thereby, the amount of heat transferred from the fire type portion to the thermochromic portion can be increased, and the discoloration of the thermochromic ink at the time of smoking can be further promoted. In addition, the air permeability of the shredded tobacco is defined as the flow rate of air passing through the roll paper of 1 cm 2 in 1 minute when the difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the shredded tobacco paper is 100 mmH 2 O ([ CU]=[ml/cm 2 .min]).

此外,用以解決本發明之課題的手段係可儘可能組合採用。 Further, means for solving the problems of the present invention can be used in combination as much as possible.

依據本發明,在捲裝香煙之外周面的捲裝構件塗覆熱變色性油墨時,可抑制吸煙之前熱變色性油墨之變色,同時在吸煙時促進熱變色性油墨之變色,且可針對塗覆熱變色性油墨之部位提升自由度。 According to the present invention, when the package member of the peripheral surface of the packaged cigarette is coated with the thermochromic ink, the discoloration of the thermochromic ink before smoking can be suppressed, and at the same time, the discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be promoted during smoking, and the coating can be applied to the coating. The part of the thermochromic ink is lifted to increase the degree of freedom.

Hereinafter, in the longitudinal direction (axial direction) of the tobacco rod 2, the end portion connected to the filter 4 is referred to as a "rear end", and the end portion opposite to the rear end is referred to as a "front end". Further, when the cigarette 1 is smoked, the "burning" is formed due to the burning of the tobacco rod 2 on the front end side.

再者,在濾嘴4之長度方向(軸方向)中,將與煙草棒2連接之方的端部稱為「前端」,將與前端相反側之端部稱為「吸口端」。濾嘴4係從前端側連設有前段濾嘴區段5、空洞狀之孔洞部6、及後段濾嘴區段7。在本實施形態中,前段濾嘴區段5係構成濾嘴4之前端部,後段濾嘴區段7係構成濾嘴4之吸口端。前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7係藉由捲取紙52、72將成形為圓柱狀之醋酸纖維素之纖維束51、71予以捲裝的過濾材(濾嘴材)。然而,在本實施形態中,前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7並不限定於醋酸纖維素濾嘴。在此,前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7係藉由成形紙8而一體地捲裝。成形紙8係用以使複數個濾嘴區段一體地固定而使用之捲取紙。在前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7之間隔著預定之空隙,而由成形紙8一體地捲取前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7,藉此在前段濾嘴區段5及後段濾嘴區段7之間形成孔洞部6。 Further, in the longitudinal direction (axial direction) of the filter 4, the end portion connected to the tobacco rod 2 is referred to as "front end", and the end portion on the opposite side to the front end is referred to as "suction end". The filter 4 is connected to the front end filter section 5, the hollow-shaped hole portion 6, and the rear-stage filter section 7 from the front end side. In the present embodiment, the front filter section 5 constitutes the front end of the filter 4, and the rear filter section 7 constitutes the suction end of the filter 4. The front filter section 5 and the rear filter section 7 are filter materials (filter materials) in which the cellulose acetate fiber bundles 51 and 71 formed into a cylindrical shape are wound by the take-up papers 52 and 72. However, in the present embodiment, the front stage filter section 5 and the rear stage filter section 7 are not limited to the cellulose acetate filter. Here, the front filter section 5 and the rear filter section 7 are integrally wound by the forming paper 8. The forming paper 8 is a take-up paper used to integrally fix a plurality of filter segments. The front filter section 5 and the rear section filter section 7 are spaced apart by a predetermined gap, and the front section filter section 5 and the rear section filter section 7 are integrally wound by the forming paper 8, whereby the front section filter is used A hole portion 6 is formed between the segment 5 and the rear filter section 7.

再者,以覆蓋濾嘴4之成形紙8之外表面的方式,藉由外層紙3來捲裝濾嘴4。在本實施形態中,外層紙3係相當於捲裝濾嘴4之外周面的「濾嘴用捲紙」。在外層紙3穿設有用以將外氣導入至濾嘴4內之通風孔9。通風孔9之個數、排列等雖可自由地變更,但在第1圖所 示之例中,係在濾嘴4之周方向以一定間隔排列有複數個通風孔9。從通風孔9導入至濾嘴4之內部的外氣(空氣),係稀釋從煙草棒2流入至濾嘴4之主流煙。 Further, the filter 4 is wound by the outer layer paper 3 so as to cover the outer surface of the forming paper 8 of the filter 4. In the present embodiment, the outer layer paper 3 corresponds to the "filter paper roll" on the outer peripheral surface of the package filter 4. A vent hole 9 for introducing the outside air into the filter 4 is provided in the outer layer paper 3. The number, arrangement, and the like of the vent holes 9 can be freely changed, but in Fig. 1 In the illustrated example, a plurality of vent holes 9 are arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the filter 4. The outside air (air) introduced into the inside of the filter 4 from the vent hole 9 dilutes the mainstream smoke flowing from the tobacco rod 2 to the filter 4.

在此,香煙1係具備感熱變色部10。該感熱變色部10係形成在捲裝煙草棒2及濾嘴4之外周面的捲裝構件之至少一部分,且在該捲裝構件之外表面塗覆熱變色性油墨而構成。捲裝構件係捲裝香煙1之外周面的構件,在本實施形態中煙絲用捲紙22與外層紙3係相當於捲裝構件。針對感熱變色部10詳細說明,在第1圖所示之例中,在濾嘴4之外層紙3的外表面、且為濾嘴4之孔洞部6的前段、亦即對應前段濾嘴區段5的位置,配置有感熱變色部10。 Here, the cigarette 1 is provided with the thermosensitive discoloration part 10. The thermochromic portion 10 is formed on at least a part of a package member on the outer circumferential surface of the packaged tobacco rod 2 and the filter 4, and is coated with a thermochromic ink on the surface of the package member. The package member is a member on the outer peripheral surface of the packaged cigarette 1, and in the present embodiment, the shredded paper 22 and the outer layer 3 correspond to a package member. Specifically, in the example shown in Fig. 1, in the example shown in Fig. 1, the outer surface of the outer layer paper 3 of the filter 4 and the front section of the hole portion 6 of the filter 4, that is, the corresponding front filter section At the position of 5, the thermosensitive color changing portion 10 is disposed.

形成感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨係塗覆在外層紙3之外表面,且藉由熱變色性油墨施行任意之文字、圖形、記號、花紋或色彩或該等之結合所構成之各種設計。在第1圖所示之例中,「GO!」之設計雖係藉由熱變色性油墨而施行,但如上所述由熱變色性油墨所施行之設計可任意為之。本實施形態之香煙1係藉由在吸煙時從煙草棒2經由主流煙而移送之熱,使感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨感熱地變色。如此,藉由使吸煙者辨認到感熱變色部10之變色,可使吸煙者視覚上享受或引起注意。 The thermochromic ink forming the thermosensitive color-changing portion 10 is applied to the outer surface of the outer layer paper 3, and various designs of characters, figures, symbols, patterns, or colors or combinations thereof are applied by the thermochromic ink. . In the example shown in Fig. 1, the design of "GO!" is performed by a thermochromic ink, but the design by the thermochromic ink as described above can be arbitrarily selected. In the cigarette 1 of the present embodiment, the thermochromic ink of the thermosensitive discoloration unit 10 is sensibly discolored by the heat transferred from the tobacco rod 2 via the mainstream smoke at the time of smoking. Thus, by allowing the smoker to recognize the discoloration of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10, the smoker can enjoy or pay attention to it.

此外,本說明書中之「變色」,係除了包含某顏色變化成與該顏色不同之其他顏色之態樣之外,亦包含從無色變化成有色之態樣(出現)、從有色變化無色之態 樣(消失)等。就熱變色性油墨而言,可適當地採用公知之示溫油墨(感溫油墨)等。在此,利用因感熱所致之變色溫度較低的熱變色性油墨時,會有熱變色性油墨在吸煙前變色之虞。因此,在本實施形態之香煙1中使用之熱變色性油墨,其具有,即使曝露在夏季之自動販賣機或包包之中、車內等比較高溫之環境下,感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨亦不會在吸煙前(香煙1之存置期間中)變色之變色溫度。 In addition, the term "discoloration" in this specification refers to a state in which a color changes to a color different from the color, and also includes a colorless color change (appearance) and a color change colorless state. Sample (disappear) and so on. As the thermochromic ink, a known temperature indicating ink (temperature sensitive ink) or the like can be suitably used. Here, when a thermochromic ink having a low discoloration temperature due to sensible heat is used, the thermochromic ink may be discolored before smoking. Therefore, the thermochromic ink used in the cigarette 1 of the present embodiment has thermal discoloration of the thermochromic portion 10 even in a relatively high temperature environment such as a vending machine or a bag exposed in the summer or in a car. The ink does not change the discoloration temperature before smoking (during the storage of cigarette 1).

然而,通常之香煙係火種之極近處為高溫,且另一方面只要離火種略遠則溫度就會急遽下降,因此在使用變色溫度較高之熱變色性油墨時,會有熱變色性油墨之溫度無法到達至變色溫度區域,而使得熱變色性油墨不變色之虞。相對於此,本實施形態之香煙1係為了抑制吸煙前之熱變色性油墨的變色,且在吸煙時促進熱變色性油墨之變色,係採用以下構造:在濾嘴4設置空洞狀之孔洞部6,且在與孔洞部6對應之位置、或比該孔洞部6更靠近香煙1之前端的位置之捲裝構件塗覆熱變色性油墨。 However, in general, cigarettes are very close to high temperatures, and on the other hand, as long as they are slightly farther away from the fire, the temperature will drop sharply. Therefore, when a thermochromic ink having a high discoloration temperature is used, there is a thermochromic ink. The temperature cannot reach the color change temperature region, so that the thermochromic ink does not change color. On the other hand, in the cigarette 1 of the present embodiment, in order to suppress discoloration of the thermochromic ink before smoking, and to promote discoloration of the thermochromic ink during smoking, the following structure is adopted: a cavity-shaped hole portion is provided in the filter 4 6. The package member that is at a position corresponding to the hole portion 6 or closer to the front end of the cigarette 1 than the hole portion 6 is coated with the thermochromic ink.

在香煙1之吸煙時,因煙草棒2之煙草絲21燃燒而產生之主流煙係流入至濾嘴4內,依序通過前段濾嘴區段5、空洞狀之孔洞部6、後段濾嘴區段7後而吸入吸煙者之口腔內。此時,由於在香煙1之濾嘴4設置有空洞狀之孔洞部6,因此孔洞部6內之空氣係發揮作為隔熱層之作用,且可抑制熱之擴散,因而可將孔洞部6及其前段部的溫度維持在較高溫度。 When the cigarette 1 is smoked, the mainstream smoke generated by the burning of the tobacco yarn 21 of the tobacco rod 2 flows into the filter 4, and sequentially passes through the front filter section 5, the hollow-shaped hole portion 6, and the rear filter portion. After paragraph 7, it is inhaled into the mouth of the smoker. At this time, since the hollow portion 6 is provided in the filter 4 of the cigarette 1, the air in the hole portion 6 functions as a heat insulating layer, and the diffusion of heat can be suppressed, so that the hole portion 6 and the hole portion 6 can be The temperature of the front section is maintained at a higher temperature.

因此,即使在感熱變色部10使用變色溫度較高之熱變色性油墨時,亦藉由孔洞部6之隔熱功能,而可使感熱變色部10之溫度到達至熱變色性油墨的變色溫度,且可使感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨變色。由以上說明,依據實施形態之香煙1,可抑制吸煙前之熱變色性油墨的變色,且在吸煙時促進熱變色性油墨之變色,而且可針對塗覆熱變色性油墨之部位提升自由度。 Therefore, even when the thermochromic ink having a high discoloration temperature is used in the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10, the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 can be reached to the discoloration temperature of the thermochromic ink by the heat insulating function of the hole portion 6. Further, the thermochromic ink of the thermosensitive color change portion 10 can be discolored. As described above, according to the cigarette 1 of the embodiment, discoloration of the thermochromic ink before smoking can be suppressed, and discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be promoted during smoking, and the degree of freedom can be improved for the portion where the thermochromic ink is applied.

再者,在本實施形態中,由於在捲裝濾嘴4之外周面的外層紙3形成有感熱變色部10,因此即使在煙草棒2隨著吸煙而燃燒至根部(後端)之情形時,形成在外層紙3之感熱變色部10亦不會燃燒。因此,依據本實施形態之香煙1,可將吸煙時使感熱變色部10變色後之狀態長期地維持至吸煙結束為止。因此,可提升因熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the thermosensitive discolored portion 10 is formed on the outer layer paper 3 on the outer peripheral surface of the package filter 4, even when the tobacco rod 2 is burned to the root portion (rear end) with smoking, The thermochromic portion 10 formed on the outer layer paper 3 does not burn. Therefore, according to the cigarette 1 of the present embodiment, the state in which the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is discolored at the time of smoking can be maintained for a long period of time until the end of smoking. Therefore, the visual appeal to the smoker due to the discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved.

再者,著眼於穿透外層紙3之外氣時,相較於空洞狀之孔洞部6,配置有前段濾嘴區段5之部分者之穿透外層紙3而流入至濾嘴4內之外氣的流入量會相對地變少。因此,在香煙1之吸煙時,與前段濾嘴區段5對應之位置(以下亦稱為「孔洞前段部)的溫度係相較於與孔洞部6對應之位置的溫度相對上維持為較高。相對於此,在本實施形態中,由於在外層紙3(濾嘴用捲紙)中之與配置有前段濾嘴區段5(前段過濾材)之孔洞前段部對應的位置配置感熱變色部10,因此可更顯著地促進感熱變色部10之變色。 Further, when focusing on the gas passing through the outer layer paper 3, the portion of the front filter section 5 is penetrated through the outer layer paper 3 and flows into the filter 4 as compared with the hollow-shaped hole portion 6. The inflow of outside air will be relatively small. Therefore, at the time of smoking of the cigarette 1, the temperature of the position corresponding to the front filter section 5 (hereinafter also referred to as "the front section of the hole" is relatively higher than the temperature of the position corresponding to the hole portion 6 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the thermosensitive discoloration portion is disposed at a position corresponding to the front portion of the hole in which the front filter portion 5 (front filter material) is disposed in the outer layer paper 3 (filter paper roll). 10, therefore, the discoloration of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 can be more significantly promoted.

然而,在本實施形態中,只要在捲裝香煙1之外周面的捲裝構件中之與孔洞部6對應的位置或比該孔洞部6更靠近香煙1之前端的位置形成感熱變色部10,即可享受到依據孔洞部6之隔熱功能所產生之好處、亦即可享受到比以往更可促進感熱變色部10之變色的效果。因此,如第3圖所示,亦可在外層紙3(濾嘴用捲紙)中之與孔洞部6對應的位置形成感熱變色部10,而亦可藉由該種態樣來促進感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨的變色。此外,由於在第3圖所示之態樣中,感熱變色部10亦不會燃燒,因此與第1圖所示之態樣同樣地,可將使感熱變色部10變色後之狀態長期地維持至吸煙結束為止。結果,可提升因熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。 However, in the present embodiment, the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion 6 in the package member on the circumferential surface of the packaged cigarette 1, or a position closer to the front end of the cigarette 1 than the hole portion 6, that is, The effect of the heat insulating function of the hole portion 6 can be enjoyed, and the effect of promoting the discoloration of the thermosensitive color changing portion 10 can be enjoyed more than ever. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 may be formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion 6 in the outer layer paper 3 (filter paper roll), and the sensible discoloration may be promoted by the aspect. The discoloration of the thermochromic ink of the portion 10. Further, since the thermochromic portion 10 does not burn in the aspect shown in Fig. 3, the state in which the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is discolored can be maintained for a long period of time as in the first embodiment. Until the end of smoking. As a result, the visual appeal to the smoker due to discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved.

再者,如第4圖所示,亦可在煙草棒2之煙絲用捲紙22形成感熱變色部10,而亦可藉由該態樣來促進感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨的變色。在第4圖所示之例中,係在煙草棒2之後端附近的煙絲用捲紙22形成感熱變色部10。此外,在第4圖所示之態樣中,亦可於吸煙開始後,在形成有感熱變色部10之區域離火種較遠的階段中就使熱變色性油墨變色。藉此,不會有感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨變色而感熱變色部10立刻就燒光的情形,而可長期地確保熱變色性油墨變色後至感熱變色部10燒光為止的期間。結果,可提升因熱變色性油墨之變色而對吸煙者之視覺上的吸引度。 Further, as shown in Fig. 4, the thermochromic portion 10 may be formed on the tobacco roll 22 of the tobacco rod 2, and the discoloration of the thermochromic ink of the thermosensitive portion 10 may be promoted by this aspect. In the example shown in Fig. 4, the tobacco shredded paper 22 is formed in the vicinity of the rear end of the tobacco rod 2 to form the thermochromic portion 10. Further, in the aspect shown in Fig. 4, the thermochromic ink may be discolored in a stage where the region in which the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is formed is far from the fire after the start of smoking. By this means, the thermochromic ink of the thermosensitive color change portion 10 is not discolored, and the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is immediately burned, and the period from the discoloration of the thermochromic ink to the burning of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 can be ensured for a long period of time. As a result, the visual appeal to the smoker due to discoloration of the thermochromic ink can be improved.

然而,香煙1係藉由從穿設於外層紙3之通 風孔9導入至濾嘴4內的外氣來稀釋主流煙,藉此調整香煙1之焦油量等。再者,則從通風孔9導入至濾嘴4內之外氣量越多,從煙草棒2流入至濾嘴4的主流煙之量就變得越少。因此,當通過通風孔9而導入至濾嘴4內之外氣量過多時,會有傳導至感熱變色部10之熱量不足的疑虞。因此,在本實施形態中,與在外層紙3中之與空洞狀之孔洞部6對應的位置設置通風孔9之情形相比較,係在與通氣阻力大之前段濾嘴區段5對應的位置設置通風孔9。結果,可抑制過多量之外氣從通風孔9流入至濾嘴4內。藉此,可抑制在吸煙時供給至感熱變色部10之熱量不足的情形。 However, the cigarette 1 is passed through the outer paper 3 The air hole 9 is introduced into the outside air in the filter 4 to dilute the mainstream smoke, thereby adjusting the amount of tar of the cigarette 1 and the like. Further, the larger the amount of gas introduced from the vent hole 9 into the filter 4, the smaller the amount of mainstream smoke flowing from the tobacco rod 2 to the filter 4 becomes. Therefore, when the amount of gas is excessively introduced into the filter 4 through the vent hole 9, there is a fear that the amount of heat transmitted to the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 is insufficient. Therefore, in the present embodiment, compared with the case where the vent hole 9 is provided at a position corresponding to the hollow-shaped hole portion 6 in the outer layer paper 3, it is at a position corresponding to the filter section 5 before the ventilation resistance is large. A venting hole 9 is provided. As a result, an excessive amount of external air can be suppressed from flowing into the filter 4 from the vent hole 9. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the shortage of heat supplied to the thermosensitive discolored portion 10 at the time of smoking.

在此,針對形成有感熱變色部10之捲裝構件之一例的煙絲用捲紙22之通氣度加以說明。當穿透煙絲用捲紙22之外氣量變得過多時,會有在吸煙時傳導至感熱變色部10之熱量不足的疑虞。由抑制該缺失之觀點來看,較佳為將煙絲用捲紙22之通氣度設定為0至2CU(CU:CORESTA Unit;CORESTA單位)。在此,「通氣度」係定義為當煙絲用捲紙22之上表面與下表面之差壓為100mmH2O時,在1分鐘內通過煙絲用捲紙1cm2之空氣的流量([CU]=[m1/cm2.min])。再者,在將煙絲用捲紙22重疊為複數層之態樣下構成香煙1時,係定義為:於使煙絲用捲紙22疊合之狀態下,當位於最內層之煙絲用捲紙22的內面與位於最外層之煙絲用捲紙22的外表面之差壓為100mmH2O時,在1分鐘內通過煙絲用捲紙1cm2之空氣的流量。藉由 使用低通氣度型之煙絲用捲紙22或將煙絲用捲紙22作成為複數捲,且將煙絲用捲紙22之通氣度調整為0至25CORESTA單位(CU),藉此可減少在吸煙時穿透煙絲用捲紙22而流入煙草棒2內之外氣流入量。結果,在香煙1之吸煙時,可容易確保從火種移送至感熱變色部10之熱量,且適當地促進形成感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨的變色。 Here, the air permeability of the tobacco paper roll 22 which is an example of the package member in which the thermosensitive color change portion 10 is formed will be described. When the amount of gas outside the cigarette paper 22 is excessive, there is a problem that the amount of heat transmitted to the thermosensitive discolored portion 10 during smoking is insufficient. From the viewpoint of suppressing the deficiency, it is preferable to set the air permeability of the shredded tobacco paper 22 to 0 to 2 CU (CU: CORESTA Unit; CORESTA unit). Here, the "air permeability" is defined as the flow rate of air passing through the cigarette paper 1 cm 2 in 1 minute when the difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the tobacco roll 22 is 100 mmH 2 O ([CU] =[m1/cm 2 .min]). Further, when the cigarette 1 is formed by laminating the shredded tobacco paper 22 into a plurality of layers, it is defined as a shredded tobacco shredded paper in a state in which the shredded tobacco paper 22 is superposed. When the difference between the inner surface of 22 and the outer surface of the outermost shredded tobacco paper 22 is 100 mmH 2 O, the flow rate of air of 1 cm 2 of the paper is passed through the tobacco in 1 minute. By using the low-flux type shredded tobacco paper 22 or the shredded tobacco paper 22 as a plurality of rolls, and adjusting the air permeability of the shredded tobacco paper 22 to 0 to 25 CORESTA units (CU), it is possible to reduce When smoking, the tobacco is passed through the roll paper 22 and flows into the tobacco rod 2 outside the airflow amount. As a result, at the time of smoking of the cigarette 1, it is possible to easily ensure the heat transferred from the fire to the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10, and appropriately promote the discoloration of the thermochromic ink forming the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10.

<實施形態2> <Embodiment 2>

第5圖係實施形態2之香煙1A的縱剖視圖。香煙1A除了通風孔9為由因吸煙時之主流煙的熱而溶融之被覆材料11所被覆之點以外,係與第1圖所示之香煙1相同。被覆材料11之溶融溫度係設定為比形成感熱變色部10之熱變色性油墨的變色溫度更高之溫度。被覆材料11係在常溫下為個體,亦可為例如曝露在50至60℃以上之溫度時即液化或氣化之物質,就該物質而言,可列舉石蠟、蠟材等油脂類、低融點合成樹脂等。在第5圖所示之例中,雖以閉塞通風孔9之方式,在外層紙3之外表面側塗覆有石蠟、蠟材等被覆材料11,但亦可藉由在外層紙3之內表面側塗覆被覆材料11而閉塞通風孔9。 Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the cigarette 1A of the second embodiment. The cigarette 1A is the same as the cigarette 1 shown in Fig. 1 except that the vent hole 9 is covered with the covering material 11 which is melted by the heat of the mainstream smoke at the time of smoking. The melting temperature of the covering material 11 is set to be higher than the color changing temperature of the thermochromic ink forming the thermosensitive color changing portion 10. The coating material 11 is an individual at a normal temperature, and may be, for example, a substance which is liquefied or vaporized when exposed to a temperature of 50 to 60 ° C or higher, and examples of the substance include oils and fats such as paraffin wax and wax material, and low melting. Point synthetic resin and the like. In the example shown in Fig. 5, the outer surface side of the outer layer paper 3 is coated with a coating material 11 such as paraffin wax or wax material so as to occlude the vent hole 9, but it may also be inside the outer layer paper 3. The surface side is coated with the covering material 11 to close the vent hole 9.

依據本實施形態之香煙1A,在吸煙開始時,通風孔9係由被覆材料11所被覆,因此在吸煙初期時外氣不會透過通風孔9被導入至濾嘴4內。因此,可迅速地使感熱變色部10之溫度上升至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度區域。然後,在感熱變色部10變色之後,由於被覆材料 11會因吸煙時之主流煙的熱而溶融,而因此透過通風孔9而使濾嘴4之內外連通。結果,透過通風孔9而進行外氣往濾嘴4內之導入,而可稀釋主流煙。藉由採用該種構成,不論配置通風孔9之位置在何處,皆可迅速地使感熱變色部10之溫度上升至熱變色性油墨之變色溫度區域。亦即,依據本實施形態之香煙1A,可提升通風孔9之位置的自由度。 According to the cigarette 1A of the present embodiment, since the vent hole 9 is covered by the covering material 11 at the start of smoking, the outside air is not introduced into the filter 4 through the vent hole 9 at the initial stage of smoking. Therefore, the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 can be quickly raised to the discoloration temperature region of the thermochromic ink. Then, after the thermochromic portion 10 is discolored, due to the coating material 11 will melt due to the heat of the mainstream smoke during smoking, and thus the inside and outside of the filter 4 are communicated through the vent hole 9. As a result, the introduction of the outside air into the filter 4 through the vent hole 9 can dilute the mainstream smoke. By adopting such a configuration, the temperature of the thermosensitive discoloration portion 10 can be quickly raised to the discoloration temperature region of the thermochromic ink regardless of the position where the vent holes 9 are disposed. That is, according to the cigarette 1A of the present embodiment, the degree of freedom of the position of the vent hole 9 can be improved.

Embodiments 1 to 3 are as shown in Fig. 6, and the sizes of L1 to L3 are different from each other. In addition, smoking tests are conducted in accordance with standard smoking conditions of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO standard smoking conditions are set for smoking (1 suction) every 60 seconds for one cigarette in an environment of wind speed of 0.2 m/s, room temperature of 22 ° C, and humidity of 60%. More specifically, 35 ml of smoking was performed for 2 seconds in one breath, and the interval from the end of a certain inhalation to the start of the next inhalation was set to 58 seconds. The temperature measurement point of each cigarette is assumed to be that the ink is applied to the brand mark, and the position corresponding to the position of the brand mark is 28 mm from the suction end of the filter. Further, the length of the filter of each cigarette of the example was set to 27 mm, and no vent hole was provided.

第8圖係顯示吸煙試驗中進行第5次吸吐時之上述溫度測定點之濾嘴表面溫度的測定結果。再者,第8圖所示之Ctrl係指未設置孔洞部,而遍及濾嘴之全區間(長度27mm)而作成為醋酸鹽濾嘴之控制香煙。如第8圖所示,實施例1至3任一者之溫度測定點的濾嘴表面溫度皆比控制香煙高。由此得知,藉由在濾嘴設置空洞狀之孔洞部,吸煙時之濾嘴表面溫度會變高。特別是可得知,前段濾嘴區段之長度L1為10mm之實施例3的濾嘴表面溫度最高,且設置在濾嘴之孔洞部的隔熱功能顯著。 Fig. 8 is a graph showing the results of measurement of the surface temperature of the filter at the above temperature measurement point when the fifth absorption was performed in the smoking test. Further, the Ctrl shown in Fig. 8 means that the hole portion is not provided, and the control cigarette is made into a acetate filter throughout the entire section of the filter (length 27 mm). As shown in Fig. 8, the temperature at the temperature measurement point of any of Examples 1 to 3 was higher than that of the control cigarette. From this, it is understood that by providing a hollow hole portion in the filter, the temperature of the filter surface during smoking becomes high. In particular, it can be seen that the surface temperature of the filter of Example 3 in which the length L1 of the front filter section is 10 mm is the highest, and the heat insulating function provided in the hole portion of the filter is remarkable.

<評價2> <Evaluation 2>

將在上述之實施例3的濾嘴開設有通風孔者作為實施例4、實施例5,與評價1同樣地進行吸煙試驗,以測定進行第5次吸吐時之濾嘴表面溫度。將濾嘴表面溫度之測定結果顯示在第9圖。在實施例4、5中,通風孔係藉由雷射開孔機(KEYENCE公司製、3-Axis CO2 LASER MARKER)而開孔,開孔條件係設為開孔孔數49個、開孔間隔0.5mm。再者,距離濾嘴吸口端之通風孔的開孔位置係在實施例4中設為22mm,係在實施例5中設為14.5mm。亦即,在實 施例4中,係在與前段濾嘴區段對應之位置開設通風孔,在實施例5中,係在與孔洞部對應之位置開設通風孔。關於實施例3及控制香煙,係與評價1相同。此外,評價2之吸煙試驗的試驗條件係與評價1相同。 The ventilator was opened in the filter of the third embodiment described above as Example 4 and Example 5. A smoking test was performed in the same manner as in Evaluation 1, to measure the surface temperature of the filter at the time of the fifth suction. The measurement results of the filter surface temperature are shown in Fig. 9. In the fourth and fifth embodiments, the vent hole is opened by a laser tapping machine (manufactured by KEYENCE Co., Ltd., 3-Axis CO2 LASER MARKER), and the opening condition is set to 49 opening holes, and the opening interval is 0.5mm. Further, the position of the opening of the vent hole from the suction end of the filter was set to 22 mm in the fourth embodiment, and was set to 14.5 mm in the fifth embodiment. That is, in reality In the fourth embodiment, a vent hole is formed at a position corresponding to the front filter section, and in the fifth embodiment, a vent hole is formed at a position corresponding to the hole portion. The third embodiment and the control of the cigarette were the same as those of the evaluation 1. Further, the test conditions of the smoking test of Evaluation 2 were the same as those of Evaluation 1.

如第9圖所示,與在濾嘴未開設通風孔之實施例3相比較,開設有通風孔之實施例4、5者係進行第5次吸吐時之濾嘴表面溫度較低。這可認為是因為外氣(空氣)從通風孔往濾嘴內流入而造成從火種移送至濾嘴之熱量減少之故。再者,比較實施例4及實施例5時可得知,在與前段濾嘴區段對應之位置開設通風之實施例4之在吸煙時之濾嘴表面溫度係比在與孔洞部對應之位置開設通風孔之實施例5還高,且開設通風孔之位置會對濾嘴表面溫度造成影響。在此,可認為是由於孔洞部之通氣阻力比前段濾嘴區段之通氣阻力小,因此與在對應於孔洞部之位置開設通風孔之實施例5相比較,在與前段濾嘴區段對應之位置開設通風孔之實施例4之通過通風孔之外氣流入量變得較少,而相應地使得實施例4之濾嘴表面溫度變得比實施例5高之故。因此,濾嘴之通風孔較佳為設置在與前段濾嘴區段對應之位置,藉此可抑制濾嘴表面溫度之降低,同時可在確保主流煙之稀釋或通氣阻力之情形下設計低焦油製品。 As shown in Fig. 9, in the examples 4 and 5 in which the vent holes were provided, the temperature of the filter surface was lower when the fifth suction was performed, as compared with the third embodiment in which the vent holes were not provided. This is considered to be because the amount of heat transferred from the fire to the filter is reduced due to the inflow of external air (air) from the vent to the filter. Further, when comparing Example 4 and Example 5, it can be seen that the temperature of the filter surface of the fourth embodiment which is ventilated at a position corresponding to the front filter section is higher than that of the hole portion. Embodiment 5 in which the vent hole is opened is also high, and the position where the vent hole is opened affects the surface temperature of the filter. Here, it can be considered that since the ventilation resistance of the hole portion is smaller than the ventilation resistance of the front filter portion, it corresponds to the front filter portion in comparison with the fifth embodiment in which the ventilation hole is formed at the position corresponding to the hole portion. The amount of the airflow in the outside of the vent hole of the embodiment 4 in which the vent hole is opened becomes smaller, and accordingly the filter surface temperature of the embodiment 4 becomes higher than that of the embodiment 5. Therefore, the venting hole of the filter is preferably disposed at a position corresponding to the front filter section, thereby suppressing the decrease of the temperature of the filter surface, and designing the low tar while ensuring the dilution or ventilation resistance of the mainstream smoke. product.
