Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of articles for smokers.
- the present invention now aims to propose a new article for smokers.
- the object of the present invention is in particular to propose an article which allows a consumer to prepare a cigarillo himself and so rediscover a new pleasure.
- an article for smokers including a set of reconstituted tobacco leaves tangled to allow automatic distribution by pull successive on the different sheets, and a container-dispenser capable of receive said set of tangled leaves of reconstituted tobacco and to control the distribution of these.
- the device according to this invention includes a set 100 of leaf 110 tangled with tobacco reconstituted and a dispenser container 200.
- the reconstituted tobacco leaves 110 are preferably very thin, advantageously a grammage less than 60 g / m 2 , and very advantageously less than 45 g / m 2 .
- the format of the sheets 110 is adapted to the format of the desired cigarillos. he preferably rectangular sheets with a width between 35 and 80 mm and length between 70 and 140 mm. However these dimensions should not be considered as limiting.
- the sheets 110 may or may not be coated with a thread of food glue along a longitudinal border, to allow the user to better stick, using saliva, the envelope of his cigarillo or the cylinder formed by the sheet rolled on itself.
- the glue used can be either a cold glue deposited at room temperature and convection dried, i.e. hot glue, e.g. gum natural arabic or synthetic glue, hot applied with drying by radiation (infrared type) located to the right of the adhesive stream, or in a convective oven.
- hot glue e.g. gum natural arabic or synthetic glue
- radiation infrared type located to the right of the adhesive stream
- convective oven located to the right of the adhesive stream
- the operation coating is preferably followed by a conditioning period for a minimum time typically of the order of 2 days in a room conditioned to at least 65% relative humidity, so that the sheet resume a sufficient humidity level and thus overcome the disadvantage of drying of the entire sheet during the drying period by convection which could reduce the mechanical characteristics of the leaf.
- the dispenser container 200 can be subject to numerous modes of production.
- each container-dispenser 200 comprises a box 210 the upper wall 212 of which is provided with a rectilinear window 214 adapted to allow free passage of a sheet 110.
- the slot 214 is adapted to the length of the sheets 110.
- the window 214 can be adapted to the width of the sheets 110.
- the container-dispenser 200 aforementioned may be supplemented by a pivoting cover flap 220 suitable for cover the portion of sheet 110 which emerges from the housing 210, outside of the periods of use, to protect this portion of leaf.
- Tobacco leaves 110 can be packaged in various ways in the container-dispenser 200.
- the leaves 110 are tangled in a zig-zag. More precisely the sheets 110 folded into a U in the form of two flaps 112, 114 are mounted head to tail, each sheet 110 receiving between its two flaps 112, 114, the lower flap 112 of the superimposed sheet 110 and the flap top 1 14 of the underlying sheet 1 10.
- the top sheet 110 emerges from the disperser container 200, via the window 214.
- this sheet is removed from the disperser container 200, on the other hand this sheet itself exerts a traction on the underlying sheet, suitable for engaging the upper flap 114 thereof, in turn in the window 214 to make this new sheet 110 accessible.
- each container-dispenser 200 typically includes 20 to 50 110 sheets.
- the 110 sheets of reconstituted tobacco obtained from dispenser container 200 can be used as an envelope for a cigarillo whose load consists of conventional cut tobacco, for example for cigarettes.
- a sheet 110 can be rolled on itself or even on other similar sheets 110 removed from the dispenser-container 200.
