Description

Separable Tobacco Filter

The present invention relates to a cigarette having a cigarette filter capable of adjusting the inhalation amount of the smoke component. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cigarette having a tobacco filter for shortening the length of the filter or adjusting a perforated portion to dilute the tobacco smoke to control the amount of inhalation of the smoke component during smoking.

The conventional cigarette is composed of a cigarette paper surrounding the grass and filter paper and the tip paper surrounding the filter material or filters, the tip paper forms a perforated portion having a plurality of through-holes in the mouth of the smoker, and formed in the perforated portion By controlling the number of through-holes, the number of hot water and the puncturing method to control the amount of outside air flowing through the through-holes during smoking to control the strength of the tobacco taste and the content of the smoke component inhaled. These cigarettes are not only difficult to break the filter, but also broken to shorten the length is not formed because there is no perforation there is no control of the amount of smoke components during inhalation gives a taste that is too strong to smoke.

Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0077451 discloses that the shielding means may be opened or shielded on the outer circumference of the cigarette, and the shielding means is formed of a separate strip attached to the outer circumference of the cigarette.

In addition, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-1991-0017976 discloses a configuration of winding a thin paper that can be removed on the filter portion to adjust the amount of smoke inhaled when smoking cigarettes according to your preference.

As mentioned above, cigarettes currently on the market have been controlled by controlling the number of perforations with a separate perforation control means, but the strength of the cigarettes is limited. If you want a mild taste, the technique to remove the paper has a problem that it is not easy to smoke because the filter paper is damaged.

Accordingly, there has been a difficulty in meeting the demand for adjusting the taste of cigarettes according to consumers' preferences.

There are two methods for forming the perforation part for controlling the intake amount in cigarette production. The off-line method is a method of manufacturing a cigarette using the perforated tip paper in advance and online. (On-line) is a method of perforating the filter in the process of manufacturing a cigarette using a non-perforated tip paper, unlike the off-line method is a hole is formed in the filter paper as well as the tip paper.

According to the present invention, after the filter is manufactured so that at least one fiber material is provided, a perforation part is formed between the filter and the filter using the online method so as to be separated from the fiber material at the farthest part, that is, the mouth side. By separating the filter easily by hand and adjusting the length, it is possible to adjust the taste and smoke content of the cigarette, and in addition to the online drilling that can separate the filter if necessary, the tip paper drilled offline on each grass is used. It has been found that the taste of tobacco after filter separation can also be controlled by enabling dilution of tobacco smoke by air.

The present invention is to provide a cigarette filter and a cigarette having the same that can adjust the strength of the cigarette taste according to the preference of the smoker.

That is, an object of the present invention is to shorten the length of the tobacco filter by applying a force to a preformed cutout to shorten the length of the tobacco filter so that the amount of smoke component sucked in can be adjusted.

In addition, the cutout is to provide a cigarette filter and a cigarette having the same manufactured to form a clean cut surface when the force is applied by hand by punching with a laser in an online manner.

In order to provide a cigarette filter and a cigarette having the same, the tobacco taste can be adjusted after the filter is separated by using a tip paper having a perforated part of which the number of punches is adjusted online or offline in order to prevent the tobacco taste from becoming too strong after the filter is separated. do.

The present invention relates to a cigarette filter and a cigarette using the same, which allows the smoker to adjust the amount of transition of the smoke component according to the preference, more specifically, two or more filters are connected to each other or spaced apart by a predetermined distance wrapped with a filter wrap After the filter member is manufactured, the filter member is wrapped with a tip paper to connect the vinegar, and then manufactured to be separated by forming a cutout in the tip paper and the filter paper along the outer circumferential surface of the filter member using means such as a laser. To a tobacco filter.

In the present invention, the smoke component is a component included in the smoke when smoking, it means a component that can be inhaled by the human body.
