Definitions

the invention relates to a device for the production of empty tubes, a method for the production of empty tubes and empty tubes for the production of filter cigarettes.
cigarette tubes have no tobacco, but one provided with a filter element inserted paper sleeve. These are later, for example, only filled by the consumer with tobacco.
double-length filter elements are first placed on a continuous paper strand in the strand unit by means of a filter feed. Subsequently, the filter elements are wrapped with the paper strand, so that a continuous strand of paper sleeves with inserted filter elements is formed. The continuous strand is then cut by the cutting device into double-length empty tubes.
the double-length empty tubes are transported longitudinally or longitudinally due to production, ie in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the empty tubes.
the double-length empty tubes are no longer transported axially, but instead transversely to their longitudinal axis, since the empty tubes are otherwise not efficient and damage-free machinable and further processed. Therefore, the strand unit has a transfer unit for transferring the empty tubes to a production unit.
the double-length empty tubes are usually transported in the production unit for further processing in arranged on the surface of rotating cylindrical drums troughs.
the drums follow in one predetermined order on each other and the rotation of the drums is synchronized.
the double-length empty tubes are arranged axially parallel to the axis of the drum.
the empty tubes are finished in the production unit.
various manufacturing and, where appropriate, quality checking steps are carried out.
the double-length empty tubes are first wrapped with a usual way brown-colored covering paper and then cut centrally by means of arranged in the production unit cutting unit consisting of a cutting drum and a cutting blade.
a subsequent quality control can then be checked, for example, a check of the empty tubes for any resulting holes or other damage.
filter cigarettes have been developed with so-called recessed filters in which the tipping paper protrudes in the axial direction beyond the end of the filter. Thereby, a cavity in front of the filter is formed by the surrounding tipping paper which is placed between the filter and the mouth of the user during use of the cigarette.
a filter arrangement has not been known in empty tubes so far.
the invention is therefore based on the technical problem of making the production of empty tubes variable, simpler and better.
that exists technical problem in being able to produce empty tubes with multi-part filters and to allow the production of empty tubes with recessed filters.
a device for the production of empty tubes with a tipping paper supply for applying a tipping paper on passed by a Strangeinheit double-length empty tubes and with a cutting unit for producing the empty tubes which is characterized in that a cutting device for cutting through the double-long Empty tubes is provided in empty tubes, that a spreader is provided for generating a distance between the empty tubes and that the tipping paper supply applies a tipping paper on the spaced empty tubes.
a gap between the two separate and spaced-apart empty tubes which is surrounded by tipping paper.
at least one further filter element can be arranged.
the intermediate space can also be used to form a recessed filter of the type described above, ie to form a cavity formed between the filter and the user's mouth by the tipping paper.
the device according to the invention essentially corresponds to a device also referred to below as a production unit, but it may also have a strand unit.
a filter supply for supplying and arranging a second filter element between the two empty tubes is provided and the tipping paper supply is provided for applying a tipping paper on the spaced apart empty tubes and the second filter element.
the double-length empty tube filter element in the production unit not only as previously cut after the application of the tipping paper and thus produces individual empty tubes, but already cut before applying the tipping paper and provided with a second filter element to empty tubes with a double Make filter element.
the first filter element processed in the strand unit consists of an activated carbon filter material and the second filter element used in the production unit consists of an acetate filter material.
the second filter element used in the production unit consists of an acetate filter material.
crepe filter materials and hollow filters can be used.
the device according to the invention makes it possible in a simple manner to change the materials of which the two filter element consist. Because this requires only a change of the supplied material, which is then processed in an identical manner. As a result, despite the increased complexity of the device, a great variability in its application is achieved.
the filter feed arranges the second filter element after cutting the double-length empty tubes between the separate empty tubes.
two different filter materials can be combined.
a second filter feed can arrange two third filter elements between the second filter element and in each case one empty tube.
three different filter materials can be combined, namely the processed in the strand unit first filter element, the second filter element and the two third filter elements, which are used in the manufacturing unit. This results in empty tubes with a triple filter.
the three filter elements can be selected from the group of acetate filters, activated charcoal filters, creping filters and hollow filters and combined in a suitable manner.
the cutting unit cuts through the unit formed by the tipping paper from the empty tubes, the second filter element and possibly the third filter elements in the region of the lining paper, in particular centrally in the region of the second filter element.
the separate empty tubes, the second filter element and the two third filter elements are first connected together by the applied tipping paper to form a unit. This unit is then separated in the region of the centrally arranged second filter element, so that empty tubes are produced with a triple filter.
a quality control follows, in which the finished empty tubes can be examined for predetermined quality parameters such as the presence of holes or other damage, tightness of the filter assembly, roundness of the empty tube and / or length deviation.
a cutting unit For cutting through the centrally arranged second filter element, a cutting unit is used, which preferably has a cutting blade cooperating with a cutting drum, the cutting blade forming the unit formed by the tipping paper from the empty tubes, the second filter element and possibly the third filter elements in the region of the lining paper, especially cuts through the middle.
the cutting unit cuts through the tipping paper in the area between the spaced-apart empty tubes without a filter element being arranged there.
empty tubes with tipping paper with a recessed filter since the tipping paper protrudes beyond the end of the filter of the original empty tube and forms a laterally open cavity.
a filter feed for supplying a second filter element and possibly a second filter supply for supplying third filter elements are provided and between the at least one filter feed and the Tufts paper supply are provided a cutting device for severing the second filter element and a spreading device for generating a distance between the second filter elements.
the described device can produce empty tubes with multiple filters and a design of a recessed filter.
the device described above initially has only one production unit, which is fed by means of a strand feed double-length empty tubes.
the device according to the invention can also have the strand unit for producing double-length empty tubes with inserted filter elements themselves, so that the device is designed in two stages and is suitable for the entire production of the empty tubes according to the invention.
the technical problem indicated above is also achieved by a method for producing empty tubes, are cut in the double-length empty tubes with inserted filter elements in the filter element used and two empty tubes are formed, in which the two empty tubes are spaced from each other, in which a tipping paper is applied for connecting the separate empty tubes and in which the tipping paper is cut in the area between the empty tubes.
a second filter element is disposed between the empty tubes, then the tipping paper is applied for connecting the empty tubes with the second filter element and finally the tipping paper is cut through in the region of the second filter element.
empty tubes with a double filter can be produced in a simple and improved manner.
different, different acting filter materials can be combined to in the Proper use of the empty tubes to achieve a suitable combination of filter effects.
a third filter element is used in each case before the application of the lining paper between the second filter element and the empty tubes. In this way, a production of empty tubes with a triple filter is possible.
the method according to the invention described above can also be further developed by cutting the unit formed by the tipping paper from empty tubes in the area of the tipping paper between the spaced-apart empty tubes.
a tamping paper and the filter element of the original empty tube laterally open space so that a Rezessfilter is formed.
a second filter element is arranged between the original empty tubes resulting from the strand unit, that the second filter element is cut through and the two sections of the second filter element are spaced from one another that a tipping paper for connecting the empty tubes with the two parts of the second filter element is applied and that the tipping paper is cut through in the region between the two parts of the second filter element.
a third filter element can be arranged in the manner described above between the second filter elements and the empty tubes.
This method therefore serves to form an empty tube with a single or multiple filter element and with an open cavity recessed filter of the type described above.
the above-indicated technical problem is also due to an empty tube for the production of filter cigarettes with a paper tube, with a filter element, the is surrounded by the paper tube, and with a tipping paper for receiving the paper sleeve in the region of the filter element, achieved in that the tipping paper protrudes in the axial direction over the end of the paper tube and over the end of the filter element.
the empty tube according to the invention is characterized by the arrangement of the lining paper relative to the paper tube.
the paper sleeve and the filter element surrounded by it is initially produced as a double-length empty tube within a strand unit. Subsequently, the double-length empty tubes are cut at the beginning of one of the methods described above within the production unit to two empty tubes with the paper sleeve completely surrounded filter. If the tipping paper is then applied and severed in such a way that the tipping paper protrudes from the paper sleeve, a space is created which can be used for additional functionalities of the empty tube.
this space can accommodate at least one further filter element in order to produce a multiple filter.
the space can at least partially be used to form a recessed filter, either only with the filter element already present in the paper tube or with at least one further filter element.
a preferred embodiment of the invention thus consists in that the first filter element surrounded by the paper sleeve has a first diameter, that at least one further filter element is provided with a second diameter and is surrounded by the tipping paper and that the first diameter is smaller than the second diameter.
the first filter element with a first diameter is wrapped during the production of double-length empty tubes in the strand unit of the paper tube, which has a corresponding paper thickness.
the further attached second and possibly third filter elements and the filter elements surrounded by the paper sleeve are enveloped only by the tipping paper, so that the second and possibly the third filter element have a second paper pulp larger by two times the paper diameter of the second diameter.
a further preferred embodiment of the invention is that the tipping paper protrudes only in the axial direction over the end of the paper tube and over the end of the filter element, without another filter element is provided.
empty tubes can be made with recessed filters in a simple manner.
At least two filter elements are provided and the tipping paper protrudes in the axial direction over the end of the outer filter element.
empty tubes are specified, which are provided with a Rezessfilter consisting of one or more filter elements.

a second filter element G and a third filter element H 1 and H 2 are arranged, see steps a) to f).
the centrally arranged second filter element G is then cut through (step f 1 ).
the two sections G 1 and G 2 of the second filter element G are arranged spaced from each other by the two filter groups F 1 , H 1 , G 1 and F 2 , H 2 , G 2 are pushed apart, see step f 2 ).
step f 3 a tipping paper B is then applied for connecting the empty tubes L 1 and L 2 to the two parts of the third filter element H 1 and H 2 and to the two parts of the second filter element G 1 and G 2 . Subsequently, in step g), the tipping paper B is cut through in the region between the two parts of the second filter element G 1 and G 2 .
the resulting empty tubes K 1 and K 2 then have a triple and Rezessfilter.
the second filter element G is cut and pushed apart only after being fed inside the filter feed 130.
Fig. 13 shows in cross section an inventive empty tube K 1 or K 2 with a triple and recessed filter produced by a method according to Fig. 12 ,
the empty tube K 1 or K 2 the other filter elements G 1 and G 2 and H 1 and H 2 , which are both surrounded by the tipping paper B 1 and B 2 , but not from the paper sleeve P 1 and P 2 ,
This construction results in the different diameters D 1 of the filter elements F 1 and F 2 on the one hand and D 2 of the filter elements H 1 and H 2 and G 1 and G 2 on the other hand, wherein the diameter D 1 smaller than the diameter D 2nd is.
a space A is formed by the above tipping paper B 1 and B 2 and the filter element G 1 and G 2 , respectively.
the Fig. 13 an empty tube with a triple and Rezessfilter.
Fig. 11 to 13 serves to illustrate the production of empty tubes with a triple and Rezessfilter.
a triple filter can also only a double filter - similar to the Fig. 2 . 3a and 6 has been described - are prepared so that a gap between the centrally disposed filter elements G 1 and G 2 is formed before the tipping paper is applied and cut in the region of the gap.
Fig. 14 shows an empty tube K 1 or K 2 , which with a method according to Fig. 7 has been manufactured and in contrast to Fig. 13 the filter elements H 1 or H 2 and G 1 or G 2 completely fill the space formed by the covering paper B 1 or B 2 protruding from the paper sleeve P 1 or P 2 .
