Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for the self-production of filter cigarettes according to the preamble main claim.
  • Tobacco cartridges for the self-production of cigarettes are for self-rolling of cigarettes from DE-C-889 578, from NL-A-6 703 935 and for self-rolling as well as for stuffing in sleeves from DE-A-3 244 906 and likewise known from DE-U-8 326 921 and DE-U-8 309 186. All of these cartridges are based on the fact that their circumference or casing consists of completely smokable material, but is so permeable to air that the cartridge itself is not smokable, but can only be consumed by smoking after it has been introduced into a cigarette paper tube.
  • the same tobacco cartridge is proposed as a system according to DE-C-3 407 461 and EP-A-0 155 514, which, in addition to the usual dimensional stability of a prefabricated cartridge, is dimensioned in terms of length and cross section so that it is close to the inner surface of the cigarette paper tube is present.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a system of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the consumer can freely influence the taste of the cigarette he has produced more freely. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to propose a system in which tobacco is saved in favor of the consumer and furthermore different tobacco mixtures of different flavors can be used.
  • the tobacco cartridge designed according to the invention surprisingly makes it possible for the cigarette maker to manufacture the cigarette by changing the guidance of the main stream smoke and thus also changing the aroma of his cigarette.
  • the shape of the tobacco cartridge allows the main flow smoke from the tobacco cartridge to be channeled or swirled as desired, which can be correspondingly increased in connection with a perforation in the transition area between the cigarette paper sleeve and the tip paper.
  • the further advantage which results from the reduction in average and the fact that the cigarette cartridge is not adapted to the diameter of the cigarette tube, is the formation of an area not filled with tobacco upstream or in the immediate vicinity of the filter plug, which is surrounded by the wrapping sheet which surrounds the Filter plug completely and surrounds the lower body of the adjoining sleeve made of cigarette paper. Because the consumer never gets his cigarette used up to the very edge of the filter plug and consequently generally discards around 13% or more of the tobacco amount of the tobacco rod when ejecting a cigarette with the filter sleeves currently available on the market, this average reduction of the tobacco cartridge in the area of the filter stopper gives it a void without tobacco which he would otherwise reject.
  • This reduction in the amount of tobacco results both from the average reduction in the mouthpiece area and from the corresponding cut-out in the mostly lower middle area of the tobacco cartridge, which also contributes to the increase in the number of tobacco cartridges from, for example, 30 to 32 cartridges in a 25 g fine-cut pack.
  • the tobacco cartridge 2 consists of a tobacco portion 4 which is surrounded by an air-permeable casing 6, the permeability of which is dimensioned such that the tobacco cartridge as such is not smokable, although it can be consumed by smoking.
  • the cigarette paper tube 10 is provided with a filter plug 12 and a tip paper 14.
  • the tobacco cartridge 2 has a somewhat smaller diameter than the cigarette paper tube 10 so that it can be inserted into the tube.
  • this tobacco cartridge has areas 16 whose diameter is 5 to 25% and preferably 10% smaller than that of the tobacco cartridge. This area with a smaller diameter can lie between the center of the tobacco cartridge and the mouthpiece area and, in one embodiment, can form the insertion of the tobacco cartridge and can be inserted up to the filter plug, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the area 16 ′ with a smaller diameter can be in the middle area or in the first third of the tobacco cartridge.
  • the manufacture of such tobacco cartridges can be carried out on conventional devices, either by reducing the diameter of the tobacco rod at appropriate intervals and, after wrapping, dividing it and straightening it by reversing the respective sections.
  • the regions of the tobacco cartridge with reduced diameter can be produced separately and then connected or encased with strands of the tobacco cartridge of the usual diameter and divided accordingly.
  • the separately manufactured areas 16 of the tobacco cartridge with a smaller diameter can contain different, preferably cheaper tobacco mixtures than those of the tobacco cartridge.
  • the length of the region 16, which is smaller in diameter, is preferably 2 to 4 times the diameter of the cigarette paper tube 10; this results in advantageous flow conditions in the lower area in addition to the desired tobacco savings, especially for ventilated cigarettes in this area.
  • a diameter difference between tobacco cartridge 2 and the region 16 of smaller diameter 16 of approximately 0.5 mm is particularly preferred.
