Definitions

  • Mouthpiece cigarettes each having two mouthpiece stubs are made by inserting a double-length stub between two cigarette lengths, cutting the double-length stub in half, separating the two two halves endwise, inserting a further double-length stub between the two halves, closing up all the elements endwise, enclosing the studs and the adjacent ends of the cigarette lengths in a wrapper, and then cutting through the central stub.
  • This invention concerns improvements in or relating to the manufacture of mouthpiece cigarettes.
  • Mouthpiece cigarettes consist of a length of cigarette rod abutted against and joined to a mouthpiece portion by an encircling uniting band.
  • the mouthpiece portion often consists of filtering material, but may take other forms-for example it may be a length of hollow tube.
  • Any mouthpiece portion suitable for joining to a length of cigarette rod will for convenience be referred to herein as a stub, and any suitable length of cigarette rod to which a stub may be joined will be referred to as a cigarette length.
  • Mouthpiece cigarettes are sometimes provided with composite mouthpieces each containing two or more stubs which usually differ from each other in their constructionfor example the outermost stub, which is visible,
  • ray be chosen mainly for its appearance, while the inner stub or stubs may be of a kind selected for their filtering or other characteristics.
  • Various methods have been proposed for producing such cigarettes, or for producing suitable lengths of mouthpiece material which in corporate a number of stubs.
  • a method of making mouthpiece cigarettes which comprises the steps of forming a group consisting of two cigarette lengths with a double-length stub between and in line with them, cutting the double-length stub to produce two single-length stubs, separating the said single-length stubs endwise while maintaining them in line with the cigarette lengths, inserting a further double-length stub between the two single-length stubs, bringing all the stubs and cigarette lengths into endwise abutment, enclosing the stubs in an encircling uniting band which partly overlaps the cigarette lengths and which is the sole means by which the stubs are joined to the cigarette lengths, and cutting through the said further double-length stub to produce two mouthpiece cigarettes each consisting of a cigarette length and two stubs end to end and joined by a single uniting band.
  • the first said double-length stub may be inserted between the said two cigarette lengths while
  • the invention further provides a mouthpiece cigarette consisting of a cigarette length joined to two end to end stubs by means of a single encircling uniting band which is also the sole means of joining the two stubs to each other.
  • two cigarette lengths C are arranged spaced endwise apart and a double-length stub DS is placed between them and in line with them.
  • This group may be produced in any convenient way, for example the cigarette lengths may be fed axially as they issue from the cut-off of a cigarette-making machine, and may be accelerated to space them endwise to accommodate a double-length stub which is fed into the gap after every other cigarette length, all while the cigarette lengths are moving endwise.
  • FIGURE 2 the group is shown with the parts abutted endwise. Although they are shown closely abutted, this is not essential, since they could if desired be left spaced somewhat apart at this stage.
  • the group is preferably now moved sideways, i.e. transversely of its length, for the remaining operations, although it will be understood that if desired all the operations could be performed while the parts are moving axially.
  • the next operation is to sever the double-length stub DS transversely, at the position shown by the chain-dotted line in FIGURE 2, to form two single length stubs.
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates the next stage in which the single-length stubs S are separated endwise from each other to provide a suflicient space for a further double-length stub to be inserted.
  • FIGURE 3 both the stubs S and the two cigarette length are shown to have been moved endwise, but it will be understood that if the parts were not previously abutted, it might be necessary only to move the stubs S apart. Also the separation could be effected by moving only one stub S and its associated cigarette length C.
  • a further double-length stub DS is then inserted into the gap as shown in FIGURE 4.
  • the next step is to enclose all the stubs in an encircling, adhesive uniting band B which partly overlaps the end portions of the two cigarette lengths.
  • the final step is to subdivide the assemblage into two mouthpiece cigarettes by cutting through the band B and through the double-length stub D5 as indicated by the chain-dotted line in FIGURE 6.
  • Each of the resulting mouthpiece cigarettes, shown in FIGURE 7, has a mouthpiece consisting of two individual, single-length stubs S and S which are joined to each other and also to the cigarette length solely by a single uniting band.
  • the nature of the stub DS may be determined by its appearance, while the stub DS may be chosen purely for its filtering or other characteristics.
  • the stub DS could be severed, and the resulting stubs S separated endwise, and a still further double length stub inserted between them, before the uniting band is applied. This would produce cigarette having mouthpieces consisting each of three stubs.
  • a method of making mouthpiece cigarettes which comprises in sequence the steps of forming -a group consisting of two cigarette length with a double-length stub between and in line with them feeding the said group 3 A v A ransversely of itslength, cutting the double-length stub, vhile it is between and in line with the two cigarette engths, to produce two single-length stubs, separating he said single-length stubs endwise while maintaining hem in line with the cigarette lengths, inserting a further iouble-length stub between the two single-1ength stubs 1nd in line therewith and with the cigarette lengths, Jringing all the stubs and cigarette lengths into endwise ibutrnent, enclosing the stubs in an encircling uniting and which partly overlaps the cigarette length and which S the sole means by which the stubs are joined to the :igarette lengths, and cutting through the said further.
  • iouble-length stub to produce two mouthpiece cigarettes :ach consisting of a cigarette length and two stubs end vo end joined by a single uniting band.
