Definitions

  • This invention relates to a technology of a cigarette having a capsule in a portion of a filter.
  • Cigarettes in each of which a capsule holding a liquid including a flavor is set in a cigarette filter and each of which can enjoy a fragrance of the flavor by destroying the capsule when a smoker starts to smoke are known.
  • the capsule is arranged inside a filter for filtering mainstream smoke arranged at one end of a cigarette and the capsule arranged inside the filter is destroyed by the filter being pressurized with user's fingers (Japanese Patent Application KOKAI Publication No. 2003-304856 ).
  • WO2010146845 disclosing a soft capsule for a cigarette filter
  • WO 03/009711 A1 being directed to tobacco having a filter, wherein the tobacco has at least one aromatic material capsule disposed in a filter section and filled with aromatic material
  • US 2007/119467 A1 describing a filter-tipped cigarette
  • US 5 549 124 A being directed to a water filter for cigarettes wherein water in a frangible capsule is released and dampens the tobacco.
  • the present invention is derived from the above circumstances and a main technical object thereof is to provide a new additional value which can be provided to the user by a capsule, and to provide a cigarette having a capsule, by which a user can enjoy a "feeling of break" when the capsule is broke as a new additional value.
  • the "feeling of break” of the user relates to a sense of touch (change of pressure) sensed by a part of a finger or the like which applies a pressure to a capsule and a sound generated by a break of the capsule and sensed by the user through a sense of hearing. That is, there is a correlation between the sound generated by the break of the capsule (hereinafter, referred to as a "breaking volume”) and the "feeling of break", and a stronger "feeling of break" can be sensed by raising the breaking volume.
  • breaking volume the sound generated by the break of the capsule
  • the breaking volume is defined as a volume calculated by a measuring method described later.
  • a cigarette comprising a tobacco rod and a filter connected to one end of the tobacco rod and including a capsule in which contents is held inside a film, a breaking volume of the capsule being 0.7 to 1.0 Vrms, is provided.
  • a breaking hardness of the capsule is 25 to 40 N, and the film of the capsule may include starch and a gelling agent.
  • the breaking hardness is a power needed to break the capsule. That is, a capsule the breaking hardness of which is 25N means that it is a capsule which will be broken when a pressure of 25N is applied thereto.
  • the capsule is a tooth-break capsule to be broken by teeth, and the deformation rate of the capsule is 3/4 or less.
  • a center position of the tooth-break capsule is arranged in a position apart from a holder end of the filter by 9 to 20 mm.
  • the filter includes a sense of touch detecting portion that provides a sense of touch different from the sense of touch at the other part on an outer circumferential surface, and the sense of touch detecting portion is arranged in the same position as that where the capsule is arranged in a longitudinal direction of the cigarette.
  • the sense of touch detecting portion may be formed by an embossed finish, and may be formed by an outer circumferential paper arranged in a periphery of a hollow portion.
  • a packaging member is provided, the packaging member including a message displaying portion displaying that the tooth-break capsule is to be broken by the teeth.
  • a cigarette having a capsule by which a user can enjoy a "feeling of break" when the user breaks the capsule as a new additional value, is provided.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cigarette including a capsule filter as an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the cigarette is formed by connecting a cylindrical tobacco rod 10 and a cylindrical filter 20 with a chip paper.
  • the tobacco rod 10 is prepared by winding a wrapping paper 12 around a tobacco filler 11.
  • the cylindrical filter 20 is prepared by winding a rolling paper 23 around a filter plug 22, and a capsule 21 is embedded in the filter plug 22.
  • the capsule 21 has a structure in which a liquid for contents 21b including a flavor, as an example of contents, is held by a film 21a (a filter of a structure in which a capsule is embedded inside a filter plug is called as an "embedded filter" in this specification).
  • a filter plug formed by a following manner can be used.
  • cellulose acetate fibers of a filament denier 1.0 to 14.0 g/9000 m preferably 5.0 to 14.0 g/9000 m and particularly preferably 5.0 to 6.0 g/9000 m
  • triacetin as a plasticizer is added with a plasticizer adding amount of 2 to 10% (preferably 3 to 6%) to fibers in weight percentage
  • a total denier is set at 17,000 to 44,000 g/9000 m (preferably 17,000 to 35,000 g/9000 m)
  • a pressure drop is set at 100 to 700 mmH 2 O/120 mm (preferably 260 to 680 mmH 2 O/120 mm), ect.
  • the filter plug papers each of which is made mainly of plant pulp having a basis weight of 15 to 60 g/m 2 , a thickness of 20 to 150 ⁇ mm, and a width of 14 to 27 mm and which are bound may also be used.
  • Activated carbon may also be included in the filter plug.
  • chip paper 30 a paper made mainly of plant pulp having a basis weight of 20 to 60 g/m 2 and a thickness 20 to 60 ⁇ mm can be used.
  • rolling paper 23 a paper made mainly of plant pulp having a basis weight of 20 to 100 g/m 2 , a thickness 20 to 150 ⁇ mm, and an air permeability of 5 to 30,000 CU (CORESTA unit) can be used.
  • the cigarette can be structured, for example by setting a length of the tobacco rod ("a" in FIG. 1 ) at 53 to 67 mm, a length of the filter ("b" in FIG. 1 ) at 17 to 31 mm, an outer circumferential length of the chip paper at 14 to 26.1 mm, and a size of the capsule in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette at 1 to 8 mm.
  • the capsule 21 has a structure in which a liquid for contents 21b including a flavor, as an example of contents, is held by the film 21a.
  • a sphere shaped capsule or a cylindrical shaped capsule may be used.
  • a film forming material includes, for example, starch and a gelling agent.
  • the gelling agent for example, gellan gum or gelatin is used.
  • the film forming material may further include a gelling assistant.
  • As the gelling assistant for example, calcium chloride is used.
  • the film forming material may further include a plasticizer.
  • the plasticizer glycerin and/or sorbitol is used.
  • the film forming material may further include a coloring agent.
  • the capsule may hold granulated solid as its contents.
  • the flavor included in the liquid for contents in the capsule for example, menthol, plant essential oil or the like can be used.
  • a solvent for the flavor included in the liquid for contents for example, medium chain triglyceride fatty acid (MCT) can be used.
  • the liquid for contents may further includes other additives such as a pigment, emulsifying agent, thickener and so on.
  • a breaking volume of the capsule 21 according to the present embodiment is 0.7 to 1.0 Vrms (if the breaking volume is larger than 1.0 Vrms, a user may feel displeasure), a breaking hardness is 25 to 40 N (if the breaking hardness is too high, it may be difficult for the user to break the capsule), and a deformation rate is 3/4 or less. Since the breaking volume is 0.7 Vrms or more as described above, the user can enjoy a "feeling of break" through a breaking sound. It is preferable that the capsule is spherical and a diameter thereof is 4.0 to 6.0 mm. If the capsule is as described above, the user can sufficiently feel an existence of the capsule and the "feeling of break" is thereby improved.
  • the breaking hardness and deformation rate of the capsule can be adjusted by changing a composition or thickness of a film forming material.
  • the deformation rate is defined by (C-D)/C, where a distance between spots "e" of a filter plug 212a before the filter plug is not subject to an external pressure is C and a distance between spots "e'" of a filter plug 212b in a state that the spots of the filter plug is subject to external pressure is D, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the breaking hardness of the capsule is increased as a method of raising the breaking volume. If the breaking hardness is increased to raise the breaking volume, it may become difficult to break the capsule with fingers as in the past. In such a case, by using a tooth-breaking capsule which is needed to be broken by user's teeth as a capsule, the breaking volume can be raised and a strong "feeling of break" can be provided to the user.
  • a pressure given to the capsule by the user is increased in a shorter time (in other words, a total amount of pressure given to the capsule by the user is decreased) and a repulsive force from the capsule is released at once simultaneously with the break of the capsule so that a larger sense of touch (change of pressure) can be given to the user.
  • the breaking hardness of the capsule is large so that the released repulsive force is larger than that in a conventional capsule, and therefore, a still larger sense of touch (change of pressure) can be given to the user.
  • a capsule forming method for a flavor capsule is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a dropping method by which the flavor capsule having a seamless film can be formed.
  • a double nozzle is used, and the liquid for contents is discharged from an inner nozzle while a liquid film material is discharged from an outer nozzle, so that the film liquid can seamlessly hold the liquid for contents.
  • a thickness of the film 21a thicker during a formation of the capsule a capsule having a high breaking hardness can be formed.
  • a tooth-breaking capsule by breaking the capsule by teeth, a user can feel vibration caused by the break of the capsule directly by auditory nerves through its skull, so that the user can obtain a stronger "feeling of break" than when the capsule is crushed by its fingers.
  • Such a bone conduction sound is not hampered while sounds are filled around the user, and therefore, a strong "feeling of break" can be obtained in any environment.
  • the capsule can be broken without removing the cigarette from a user's mouth during smoking, so that the user can enjoy a smooth smoking style never experienced before.
  • capsule can be broken smoothly and a less reaction is generated when the capsule is broken. Therefore, even if the capsule is broken while smoking, it is less likely that ashes on an burning end of a cigarette fall.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the same portions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference characters denoting those of the first embodiment and explanations thereof are omitted. Only portions of the second embodiment different from those of the first embodiment will be described below.

  • An embossed finish as an example of a sense of touch detecting portion 40 is provided the same position of the chip paper 30 (hereinafter, called a "capsule corresponding position") as that where the capsule 21 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the cigarette.
  • a capsule corresponding position the position of the chip paper 30
  • the sense of touch detecting portion 40 is defined as a portion that can be detected by the sense of touch.
