Abstract
Description
Mon invention concerne un procédé, à base d'un végétal comestible, pour transformer le tabac nocif aux fumeurs en tabac sans nicotine. La nicotine est un des poisons les plus violents. Elle contient aussi plusieurs substances néfastes. Son antidote est le tanin qui forme un composé soluble.My invention relates to a process, based on a plant edible, to transform harmful tobacco for smokers into tobacco without nicotine. Nicotine is one of the most poisonous violent. It also contains several harmful substances. Its antidote is tannin, which forms a soluble compound.
On emploiera comme contre poison une infusion concentrée de thé de Chine qui agit par l'acide tannique que cette substance contient. Selon le souhait, on peut obtenir 25%, 50% et même 100% de réduction du taux de nicotine tout en conservant au tabac ainsi traité par mon procédé tous ses avantages aromatiques.We will use an infusion as a poison concentrated Chinese tea which acts by tannic acid that this substance contains. According to the wish, one can obtain 25%, 50% and even 100% reduction in nicotine levels while preserving the tobacco thus treated by my process all its aromatic benefits.
Mon tabac sans nicotine est sans danger et il peut convenir pour les cigarettes, les cigarillos, la pipe et scaferlatis.My nicotine-free tobacco is safe and may work for cigarettes, cigarillos, pipes and scaferlatis.
On peut lui ajouter des pigments insolubles dans l'eau tel que l'ocre jaune et le noir d'ivoire, etc.You can add water-insoluble pigments such as than yellow ocher and ivory black, etc.
Mon procédé est simple, rapide et efficace.My process is simple, quick and efficient.
Suivant le présent brevet, ce procédé consiste à traiter le tabac par cette infusion pour le rendre non nocif.According to the present patent, this process consists in treating the tobacco through this infusion to make it harmless.
Le bain de l'infusion est un antidote à la nicotine.Bathing the infusion is an antidote to nicotine.
Le degré de nicotine sera pour ainsi dire nul si on laisse le tabac 60 secondes dans le bain de l'infusion et si on le presse, après l'infusion, à fond.The level of nicotine will be almost zero if we leave the tobacco 60 seconds in the infusion bath and if it is press, after brewing, thoroughly.
Le jus de tabac, noir et épais, peut être commercialisé comme parasiticide car il contient une forte proportion de nicotine. Mon invention éradiquerait les cancers des poumons des fumeurs présents et à venir.Tobacco juice, black and thick, can be marketed as a parasiticide because it contains a high proportion of nicotine. My invention would eradicate cancers from lungs of present and future smokers.
Mon antidote est une produit végétal et comestible.My antidote is a vegetable and edible product.
Le degré de purification dépend de la dose de thé, de la durée du bain et de la température du bain, mais aussi de la pression exercée sur le tabac après traitement.The degree of purification depends on the dose of tea, the bath duration and bath temperature, but also pressure on tobacco after treatment.
Si le tabac est traité une minute, et qu'il a été pressé à fond, il contiendra moins de nicotine que s'il a trempé 30 secondes et pressé à moitié.If the tobacco is processed for a minute, and it has been fully squeezed, it will contain less nicotine than if it has soaked 30 seconds and half pressed.
Claims (1)
Le tabac ainsi traité est un rien plus doux et il garde tout son goût et sa couleur.
Entre le tabac en feuille et le tabac coupé, il y a une grande différence, c'est vrai, mais, avec un peu d'expérience on peut obtenir des résultats merveilleux car il ne perd pas ces qualités, et, surtout, il n'est plus nocif. Il reste à la fois dans son état "naturel" mais purifié. C'est la pratique qui fait tout. Le matériel, les matières et le temps sont les trois principaux éléments de la réussite. Mon procédé a été longuement étudié et mes nombreuses recherches et essais m'ont appris que je ne pouvais m'écarter des données et mesures que j'ai découvert sur le tabac coupé.
Lors de mes recherches, les résultats suivants, effectués sur un tabac coupé "X", ont étés trouvés :
Tabac original, non traité.
EXEMPLE DE TRAITEMENT.
On enferme le tabac dans une toile de coton et on met le tout dans une cuve. On verse l'infusion sur la tabac coupé de 30 à 60 secondes selon le degré de purification désir. On retire alors la toile contenant le tabac pour la passer à la presse.
On peut faire varier le degré de nicotine restant dans le tabac suivant les conditions de traitement, sa durée, mais aussi par l'importance du pressage.
RESULTATS APRES 30 SECONDES D'INFUSION.
Tabac original, non traité.
Ce procédé s'applique à tous les types de tabac ; blond, noir, pour cigarette, pour cigarillos pour la pipe comme sur le tabac coupé et scaferlatis.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux détails ci-avant, aux chiffres et doses indiquées, car bien des modifications peuvent être prévues sans sortir du cadre du présent brevet. Procédé de purification du tabac obtenu tel que décrit ci-avant.My method, explained above, is the only one applicable to obtain a good result and that, moreover, the processing of leaf tobacco is not excluded, but that it takes a little practice and equipment. Cut tobacco requires less labor. Two men are enough to handle the tobacco after roasting, to apply my treatment, then dry this treated tobacco in a heated room for maximum 24 hours, and package it right after.
Tobacco thus treated is a little sweeter and it retains all its taste and color.
Between leaf tobacco and cut tobacco, there is a big difference, it's true, but, with a little experience you can get wonderful results because it does not lose these qualities, and, above all, it doesn’t is more harmful. It remains both in its "natural" but purified state. Practice is everything. Equipment, materials and time are the three main elements of success. My process was studied at length and my numerous researches and tests taught me that I could not deviate from the data and measurements that I discovered on cut tobacco.
During my research, the following results, carried out on cut tobacco "X", were found:
Original tobacco, untreated.
EXAMPLE OF TREATMENT.
We enclose the tobacco in a cotton canvas and put everything in a tank. The infusion is poured on the cut tobacco for 30 to 60 seconds depending on the degree of purification desired. The canvas containing the tobacco is then removed to pass it to the press.
The degree of nicotine remaining in the tobacco can be varied according to the treatment conditions, its duration, but also by the amount of pressing.
RESULTS AFTER 30 SECONDS OF INFUSION.
Original tobacco, untreated.
This process applies to all types of tobacco; blond, black, for cigarettes, for cigarillos for the pipe as on cut tobacco and scaferlatis.
The invention is not limited to the details above, to the figures and doses indicated, since many modifications can be provided without departing from the scope of this patent. Process for purifying the tobacco obtained as described above.
