Summary description of the invention

As indicated in the introduction, the object of the present invention consists of a filter used by those smokers who prepare their cigarettes with rolling tobacco. The idea arises because the inventor has noticed, on multiple occasions, the difficulties that arise in the operation of rolling a cigarette. With the classic cylindrical filters of circular section, the smoker's fingers slip, on many occasions, dislodging the paper and the filter, spilling the tobacco and ruining the operation. Even if everything develops well, it does not have good adhesion as the surface is round and a lot of skill is required to go pulling and rolling until the process is completed.

It also happens that people with large hands, fat fingers and/or calloused hands do not have enough sensitivity to feel the classic round filter on their fingers, thus losing the sensation of contact and/or traction to perform the final rolling action of the cigarette.

For all these reasons, the inventor proposes a filter that, having the same characteristics, in terms of material, as the usual filters with a circular section, has a square cross-section.

That is to say, the invention consists of a prismatic filter, of the same length as the usual filters, in which the traditional circular section is changed for a square section. In this way, there are edges and planes that favor the push during the rolling process, being very advantageous for all types of smokers, even for those who are not very skilled and have little sensitivity in their fingers.

The inventor, as indicated above, has not found any record of a cigarette filter that meets this main characteristic of having a square section, so he considers that it is an interesting novelty for smokers.
