摘要:
A wrapper for a smoking article which, when wrapped about a tobacco column, provides improved mainstream smoke taste and sidestream smoke odor subjectives. These objectives are attained by forming a cellulosic sheet containing a small amount, but less than about 2%, of activated carbon having absorbed onto the carbon a volatile flavorant.

A wrapper for a smoking article which, when wrapped about a tobacco column, provides improved sidestream smoke reduction, improved ash formation, and acceptable mainstream smoke taste and sidestream smoke odor subjectives. These objectives are attained by forming a single cellulosic sheet containing a filler comprising basic magnesium carbonate and, where desired, a co-filler of calcium carbonate. In addition, the sheet may be treated with a burning chemical such as alkali metal salts of organic carboxylic acids, and compatible acids.
摘要:
A ventilated cigarette uniquely designed to introduce volatile flavoring agents such as menthol into the mainstream smoke of the cigarette with improved delivery rate and longer shelf life for the flavoring agent. The cigarette has a porous or perforated air permeable wrap encircling the filter plug impregnated with the volatile flavoring agent, enclosed in a perforated or inherently porous air permeable tipping envelope. As the cigarette is smoked, air is drawn through the ventilation area of the tipping, through the flavor-impregnated filter plug wrap and into the filter carrying the volatile flavoring agent with it where it mixes with the smoke, thereby imparting flavor to the cigarette smoke. Since the flavor-impregnated plug wrap is tightly enclosed between the tipping envelope and filter plug, loss of the volatile flavoring agent is minimized, thereby enabling longer shelf life without reduction in flavor potency. Moreover, high delivery rates are achieved using minimum amounts of flavoring agent.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for electrically perforating a moving web such as paper, film and the like in which the web passes between spaced, charged and ground electrodes adapted to move at right angles to one another, including a flat plate for supporting said web as it passes between said spaced electrodes having a narrow slot in which the ground electrode travels parallel to the surface of said plate, said surface recessed along both sides of said slot to provide a collection area for particulate matter produced from perforating said web and means for removing said particulate matter from said collection area.
摘要:
A cigarette or cigar wrapper is disclosed wherein the paper filler consists of two homogeneously intermixed minerals, viz huntite and hydromagnesite, alone, or admixed with calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide and carbon.
摘要:
An improved ventilated filter tip cigarette is provided utilizing a unique combination of porous filter plug wrap having a porosity of from about 300 to 4000 Filtrona air permeability units with a microperforated tipping envelope having perforations averaging less than about 0.01 mm.sup.2 each in open area. The relationship of plug wrap porosity combined with the size of microperforations in the tipping envelope provide cigarettes with maximum selective reductions in carbon monoxide yields and only minor reductions in nicotine yields as compared to constituent yields heretofore obtained in the smoke from ventilated cigarettes.
摘要:
An improved smoke control device for smoking articles which contains a valve operative to close off the flow of smoke drawn through the smoking article depending upon the pressure drop or draw rate of each individual puff. Preferably, the valve comprises a resilient flap member responsive to the puff pressure drop for restricting or closing off smoke drawn through the smoking article and which will reopen after the pressure is relieved, thereby limiting each puff to a predetermined yield consistent with that obtainable in a normal puff.
摘要:
A paper tobacco substitute which produces a neutral taste when blended with tobacco, comprising cellulose fibers and a filler, said filler comprising at least 55% by weight finely pulverized carbon particles based on the weight of the cellulose. In addition to carbon, the filler may include an alkaline earth metal carbonate or oxide such as calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide to further enhance the properties of the paper as a tobacco substitute. The carbon filled paper may be cut or shredded to simulate natural tobacco and can be used as a blend with tobacco in smoking articles.
摘要:
Stabilization and demobilization of volatile organic and volatile inorganic acids by acid adsorption onto activated carbon, which is then used in the manufacture of wrappers for smoking articles, provides improvements in sidestream smoke aroma, reduction in sidestream smoke irritation and improvements in subjective taste of the mainstream smoke.
摘要:
A wrapper for a smoking article which, when wrapped about a tobacco column, provides improved sidestream smoke reduction, improved ash formation, and improved mainstream smoke taste and sidestream smoke odor subjectives. These objectives are attained by forming a single cellulosic sheet containing a filler combination of magnesium hydroxide activated carbon, and calcium carbonate. In addition, the sheet may be treated with a burning chemical such as potassium citrate, an organic acid such as citric acid, and a sugar such as sucrose. Considerable latitude exists in regard to sheet basis weight, filler levels, sheet porosity, burn rate and size press solution treatment in order to optimize product requirements.
