Definitions

• the invention relates to the tipping paper for a filter cigarette.
• a common filter cigarette Five essential parts of a common filter cigarette are the tobacco rod, the wrapping cigarette paper, the filter, the immediately enveloping filter wrapping paper and the tipping paper.
• the tipping paper is that part of the filter cigarette which is touched by the lips of the person smoking the cigarette when the filter cigarette is smoked, enveloping the filter part and usually extending longitudinally of the filter cigarette It is adhesively bonded to the filter wrap paper and the cigarette paper, and by making this bond, the filter part and the tobacco rod part are mechanically connected in the cigarette machine.
• the tipping paper is, in fact, a paper but also a film (often also called “film”) or even a composite material of several layers of different materials.
• the mouthpiece covering paper is usually provided with a perforation, which causes air to flow from the environment into the filter during suction on the cigarette, where it mixes with the smoke stream coming from the tobacco rod, whereby the smoke values be changed favorably.
• the tipping paper has an imprint.
• this print can be reminiscent of cork.
• It also Mund Swissbelagspapiere be used, which in addition to the optical printing have a coating of substances or impregnation with sensory substances, ie with substances which when smoking in or on the mouth one or more sensory perceptions such as smell, taste, cold (freshness) or heat (sharpness) cause.
• a flavoring agent with the aid of an inkjet printer, for example, to the mouthpiece covering paper.
• Sensitive fabrics are used in all of these publications, which trigger a sensory effect, usually in the form of taste or smell, and thus at best are able to superimpose unpleasant odors.
• WO 2008/010091 AI known in a specially designed filter solids sec. To accommodate odors.
• JP 3083571 A (published in 1991) it is proposed to coat the filter part of cigarettes with a substance of special metal oxides, polymer and inorganic filler to prevent the emission of odor, nicotine and tar.
• the object of the invention is to improve cigarettes so that this unpleasant odor on the fingers of the smoking person is avoided.
• odor neutralizing substances are meant in this sense substances that either
• Bind odorants so bind to other (larger) molecules that they are less or no longer smelling, and / or - Degrade odorants, that is, chemically transform them so that they become substances that are less or no longer smelling.
• substances with sensory action can be applied over the whole area or only in partial areas of the mouthpiece covering paper. These are, for example, odors or flavorings. It is advantageous not to apply these additional substances evenly.
• scents for example, more flavorings are applied, while in the remaining area more odors are applied.
• odorants are preferably applied as additional substances which are capable of producing unpleasant odors cover.
• the predominantly by the fingers of a person smoking a cigarette while burning cigarette touched part of the mouthpiece covering paper is the longitudinal third of the mouthpiece covering paper, which lies on the tobacco rod.
• the person who smokes a cigarette mainly through the lips of a cigarette Rescued part of the mouthpiece covering paper is the longitudinal third of the mouthpiece covering paper facing away from the tobacco rod.
• the surface area at which it is provided with an odor-neutralizing substance for the purpose of avoiding disturbing odor on the fingers of a person smoking the cigarette is colored and / or characterized by haptic features.
• This labeling tempts to touch the cigarette even there with his fingers, and not for example, where you should touch the cigarette predominantly only with the lips.
• the haptic marking can be present, for example, in the form of an embossing or an applied structure lacquer.
• Color coding is understood to mean any visual highlighting, for example a border of the area with a black, dotted line is also considered.
• Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a second cigarette equipped with a tipping paper according to the invention. For reasons of visibility, layers are drawn disproportionately thick.
• the visible in Fig. 1 parts of the cigarette shown there are the cigarette paper 1 (which surrounds the tobacco rod), the filter 2 and the mouthpiece covering paper 3, which envelops the filter (including the filter wrapper paper not shown) entirely and with a short longitudinal region and the Wrapped cigarette paper 1.
• the illustrated mouthpiece covering paper 3 is provided on a surface area 3.1 with an odor-neutralizing substance which serves to prevent the fingers of the person smoking the cigarette from receiving a disturbing odor through the cigarette.
• the surface area 3.1 lies predominantly in the longitudinal third of the mouthpiece covering paper 3, which faces the cigarette paper 1.
• the area 3.1 is visually highlighted by visible printing from the surrounding area of the tipping paper. It is thus arranged at a longitudinal region, at which the cigarette while it is guided to the mouth or the ashtray, can be comfortably grasped with the fingers.
• the tipping paper By not applying the odor-neutralizing substance to said longitudinal third of the tipping paper around the whole circumference of the cigarette, but only on two separate surfaces 3.1, the tipping paper can be well provided with a perforation at the intermediate surfaces 3.2, through which during suction on the cigarette unaffected by the substance applied to the surfaces 3.1 - and also by the touch of the fingers of the person smoking - flow, air in the filter part and with the Smoke flow can mix. Odor-neutralizing substance is also saved if it is applied only to partial surfaces and not around the entire circumference of the tipping paper.
• Typical odor-neutralizing substances which can be used for the area 3.1 are, for example, cyclodextrins and triethylene glycol. Cyclodextrins act mainly by binding odors to themselves so that they are not or barely perceptible. Triethylene glycol works mainly by converting odors into chemically different substances. Both substances are known to be used, inter alia, for odor neutralization. In addition to the substances mentioned a variety of other known for the odor neutralization effective substances applicable.
• the substances can be particularly effective for the odor-neutralizing effect on the fingers optimized and selected.
• the area 3.1 on the tipping paper which is provided with odor-neutralizing substance for the fingers, extends around the entire circumference of the cigarette
• the previously discussed perforation is preferably arranged on an adjacent longitudinal portion of the cigarette, preferably at a longitudinal portion further away from the tobacco rod portion. The perforation can then also run around the entire circumference of the cigarette.
• the odor-neutralizing substances are best applied to the tipping paper by printing.
• the usual methods and techniques for printing on tipping papers are usable therefor.
• the mouthpiece covering paper is provided on a surface area 3.1 to which an odor-neutralizing substance is applied, provided with locally limited elevations, which are formed by hardened textured lacquer and the odor-neutralizing substance is arranged between these elevations.
• odor-neutralizing substance By attaching the odor-neutralizing substance to surfaces which are formed with raised structure lacquer bumps, a greater variety of odor-neutralizing substances (and co-surfactants) will be applicable and larger dosages per surface will be applicable.
• a structural lacquer in this sense is a lacquer with which a fine grid of a perceptibly raised structure can be printed on a surface, for example 5 to 30 lines lying side by side can be printed per cm, which can be printed from unprinted surface areas by 10 pm to 30 However, even finer structures, for example with 100 adjacent lines per cm, can be printed.
• fat, oil or wax is applied to the surface 3.1 together with the odor-neutralizing substances.
• these substances wet on contact the fingers of the person smoking the cigarette. They then form a thin but effective protective layer against odors, which would otherwise deposit on or in the skin.
• the protective layer formed in this way, including any interfering odors deposited thereon, is much easier to wash off with soap and water than the odorous substances alone would be.
• a bleaching substance is also applied, since it is thus possible to intentionally avoid or inhibit the browning which is caused by cigarettes on the fingers of smoking persons.
• vitamin C acting as a gentle reducing agent
• FIG. 2 shows a special embodiment of a cigarette equipped according to the invention.
• the surface area 13.1 of the mouthpiece covering paper 13 equipped with odor-neutralizing (and possibly also greasy or waxy) substance is attached to that longitudinal region of the mouthpiece covering paper to which it comprises the tobacco rod 4.
• the odor-neutralizing substance is applied to the inside of the mouthpiece covering paper 13. It contains a combination of active ingredients, which releases the active substance to the outside only at elevated temperature.
• the area 13.1 is heated by the glow of the cigarette and the hot smoke stream and the odor-neutralizing agent is released.
• Cyclodextrins can be used as suitable odor-neutralizing substance, to which another, preferably a fragrant aroma and / or oil, fat or wax and / or a bleaching substance is attached. Cyclodextrins have the property that it binds other substances, such as the substances mentioned at normal temperature so well that they are not noticeable at all, but releases them at elevated temperature, so that they can exert their effect. In the present case of application, it is therefore possible in particular to prevent the browning of the fingers which is characteristic of some smokers.
• the tipping paper it is also possible for the tipping paper to be executed over a whole or partial area of several layers and thereby to provide at least one layer of Mundstuckbelagspapieres with an odor-neutralizing substance.
• the multilayer design of the tipping paper has the advantages that fewer odors from the smoke flow reach the fingers of the person smoking, so that the haptics in the relevant area can be better adapted to the fingers without that is why the haptics for the area to be touched by the lips must be changed and that additional possibilities are also created for optical highlighting of the area to be touched by the fingers.
• the additional layer of the mouthpiece covering paper As material for the additional layer of the mouthpiece covering paper, the same materials or composite materials as generally mentioned at the beginning for tipping documents are suitable.
• the additional layer can also be designed to be movable, for example in the form of an annular paper or foil strip which encloses the filter cigarette, similar to the banderole of a cigar. This ring can be rotated by the smoker around the cigarette axis and moved along it. If the cigarette and this ring are separated from one another, then the cigarette can optionally be provided by the smoker with the additional layer having odor-neutralizing substances.
