The structure of the known cigarette is such that the one filter component has its own covering and the common covering also represents the covering for the second component. The latter is also the wrapping for the tobacco rod. The filter section is connected to the tobacco rod with the help of a further covering, which covers the tobacco stick at the facing end for a certain partial length. The manufacture of such a filter cigarette is extremely complex.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Filterzigarette mit im Wesentlichen den Komponenten der bekannten Filterzigarette anzugeben, das sich auf einfache und wirksame Weise durchführen lässt und mit dem der Filteraufbau in verschiedener Hinsicht in einfacher Weise variiert werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a filter cigarette with essentially the components of the known filter cigarette, which can be carried out in a simple and effective manner and with which the filter structure can be varied in various ways in a simple manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche 1 und 2 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 2.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird aus jedem Filtermaterial jeweils ein Endlosstrang erzeugt. Das jeweilige Filtermaterial ist z.B. Acetat oder Kohlegranulat. Aus diesen Endlossträngen werden erste und zweite Abschnitte mit ihrer Umhüllung vorgegebener Länge abgetrennt. Die Länge für beide Abschnitte ist z.B. bzw. vorzugsweise gleich. Aus dem ersten und zweiten Abschnitt wird ein weiterer Endlosstrang gebildet, indem die Abschnitte nacheinander aufgereiht werden. DieIn the method according to the invention, an endless strand is produced from each filter material. The respective filter material is e.g. Acetate or carbon granules. First and second sections with their covering of predetermined length are separated from these endless strands. The length for both sections is e.g. or preferably the same. A further endless strand is formed from the first and second sections in that the sections are lined up one after the other. The

Aufreihung geschieht mit einem vorgegebenen Abstand voneinander, nach einem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel 3 bis 6 cm, wobei die Reihe fortlaufend mit einer weiteren Umhüllung umhüllt wird. Aus diesem weiteren Endlosstrang werden Doppelfüter- abschnitte erzeugt. Jeder Doppelfilterabschnitt weist drei Teilabschnitte auf, nämlich in den Endbereichen einen ersten Abschnitt von halber Länge und in der Mitte einen zweiten Abschnitt von ganzer Länge oder auch umgekehrt.Alignment takes place at a predetermined distance from one another, according to an exemplary embodiment 3 to 6 cm, the row being continuously encased in a further covering. Double feed sections are produced from this further endless strand. Each double filter section has three sections, namely a first section of half length in the end regions and a second section of full length in the middle or vice versa.

Therefore, the arrangement of the sections in the double filter section is such that the half-length end sections consist of the filter material that is to form the end of the mouthpiece. The double filter sections are then each arranged between two tobacco sticks and connected to them and severed in the middle. This is usually done on a corresponding drum of a cigarette maker.

Mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann auf einfache Weise ein Abstand zwischen den Filterteilen erzeugt werden zur Bildung einer Ventilationskammer von gwünschter Länge.With the aid of the method according to the invention, a distance between the filter parts can be easily generated to form a ventilation chamber of the desired length.

Bei dέr Lösung nach Patentanspruch 2 werden bei der Erstellung des dritten Endlosstrangs die Filterabschnitte Stoß an Stoß angeordnet, und bei der Verbindung mit den Tabakstock wird durch Abstandsbildung eine entsprechende Kammer erzeugt. Die Umhüllung um das Filterteil kann beliebig perforiert sein. Eine geometrisch festgelegte Perforationsbohrungsanordnung ist nicht erforderlich.In d Lösungr solution according to claim 2, the filter sections are arranged in abutting manner when creating the third endless strand, and when connecting to the tobacco rod, a corresponding chamber is created by forming a distance. The wrapping around the filter part can be perforated as desired. A geometrically defined perforation drilling arrangement is not necessary.

JA Die Filterzigarette 10 nach Fig. 1 setzt sich zusammen aus einem Tabakstock 12 und einem Filterteil 18. Der Tabakstock besteht aus einem Tabakstrangabschnitt 14, der von einer Papierumhüllung 16 umgeben ist. Der Filterteil 18 besteht aus einem ersten Filterabschnitt 20 und einem zweiten Filterabschnitt 22, die aus verschiedenen Materialien bestehen und im Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind, wodurch sich ein Absta d ergibt, der durch die gestrichelte Linie 24 angedeutet ist. Die beiden Filter- absch litte 20, 22 werden mittels einer gemeinsamen Umhüllung, die bei 26 angedeutet ist, mit dem Tabakstock 12 verbunden.YES The filter cigarette 10 according to FIG. 1 is composed of a tobacco rod 12 and a filter part 18. The tobacco rod consists of a tobacco rod section 14 which is surrounded by a paper wrapper 16. The filter part 18 consists of a first filter section 20 and a second filter section 22, which consist of different materials and are arranged at a distance from one another, which results in a distance which is indicated by the dashed line 24. The two filter sections 20, 22 are connected to the tobacco rod 12 by means of a common covering, which is indicated at 26.

Bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Filterzigarette werden Endlosstränge aus dem Filtermaterial für das erste und zweite Filter, wie sie in Fig. 1 gezeigt sind, erzeugt (nicht dargestellt). Das Filtermaterial kann z.B. zum einen aus Acetat oder Papierfilter bestehen und zum anderen aus Kohlegranulat. Beides ist an sich bekannt. Die Endlosstränge sind jeweils mit einer geeigneten Umhüllung, z.B. aus Papier, versehen.In the method for producing the filter cigarette according to the invention, endless strands are produced from the filter material for the first and second filters, as shown in FIG. 1 (not shown). The filter material can e.g. on the one hand consist of acetate or paper filter and on the other hand of carbon granulate. Both are known per se. The endless strands are each covered with a suitable covering, e.g. made of paper.

Aus den Endlossträngen werden erste und zweite Abschnitte vorgegebener, vorzugsweise gleicher Länge erzeugt. Dies kann in Stufen geschehen, indem z.B. zunächst Abschnitte einer Länge von 132 m erzeugt werden, die anschließend in Längen von 44 mm unterteilt werden, die dann ihrerseits noch einmal zu Abschnitten vcn 22 mm Länge getrennt und welche dann anschließend, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, abwechselnd zu einem weiteren Endlosstrang aneinander gereiht werden. Die Abschnitte sind in Fig. 2 mit 30 bzw. 32 bezeichnet. Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, werden die Abschnitte 30, 32 jeweils paarweise aneinander gereiht, wobei zwischen den Abschnitten jeweils eine Lücke von z.B. 3 bis 6 mm gelassen wird. Diese Lücke ist mit 34 bezeichnet. Dieser Endlosstrang wird während seiner Herstellung mit einer Umhüllung versehen (nicht dargestellt). Der Endlosstrang wird, wie ebenfalls in Fig. 2 angedeutet, in Doppelfilterabschnitte 36 unterteilt. Jeder Doppelfilter-First and second sections of predetermined, preferably the same length are produced from the endless strands. This can be done in stages, e.g. Sections of a length of 132 m are first produced, which are then subdivided into lengths of 44 mm, which in turn are then separated again into sections of 22 mm in length and which then, as shown in FIG. 2, alternately to form a further endless strand be ranked. The sections are designated 30 and 32 in FIG. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the sections 30, 32 are each lined up in pairs, with a gap of e.g. 3 to 6 mm is left. This gap is denoted by 34.
