  • Patent number: 5016656
    Abstract: A cigarette including a tube of tobacco having a circumferential wall fabricated of a tobacco material with ridges and grooves from in the circumferential wall extending longitudinally of the tobacco tube, a wrapper of combustible material circumscribing the outside peripheral surface, and a filter rod attached at one end of the tobacco tube. Also, a method of making a cigarette includes forming a sheet of tobacco material, forming corrugations in the sheet of tobacco material and forming the corrugated sheet into a cylindrical tube.

  • Patent number: 4708150
    Abstract: A filter for a cigarette includes a porous filter rod circumscribed by a substantially non-porous or air impermeable wrapper with selected air permeable areas, and ventilating air grooves embedded in the wrapped filter rod which extend from on end of the filter rod a preselected distance generally longitudinally of the filter rod. Tipping material circumscribes the wrapped filter rod and is formed with perforations therethrough providing a path for ventilating air flow into the grooves and into the body of the filter rod at the selected air permeable areas outside of the grooves. The walls of each of the grooves are formed with preselected perforations therethrough to provide for the flow of air from the grooves into the body of the filter rod. Under certain smoking conditions most, if not all, of the ventilating air in the grooves will flow from the grooves into the smoker's mouth through the open end of the grooves at the mouth end of the filter rod.

  • Patent number: 4611607
    Abstract: A filter for a cigarette includes a porous filter rod circumscribed by a non-porous wrapper provided with at least one groove embedded into the periphery of the filter rod extending from the mouth end thereof a preselected distance longitudinally therealong less than the entire length of the filter rod. Tipping material circumscribes the non-porous wrapper and is provided with flow-through openings therein in flow communication with the groove. The tipping material extends beyond the mouth end thereof defining a recess, and the filter rod includes a cylindrical collar coaxially located in the recess concentrically with the portion of the tipping material extending beyond the filter rod mouth end. The thickness of the wall of the collar is less than the depth of the groove which collar functions as a baffle to accelerate the velocity of the air leaving the groove.

  • Patent number: 4424819
    Abstract: A filter for a cigarette includes a porous filter rod circumscribed by a non-porous or air impermeable wrapper, and ventilating air grooves embedded in the wrapped filter rod which extend from one end of the filter rod a preselected distance generally longitudinally thereof. The ends of the grooves are recessed a predetermined distance or depth inwardly of the end of the filter rod and communicate with radially extending open channels formed in the one end of the filter rod. An air permeable tipping material circumscribes the wrapped filter rod which provides a path for ventilating air flow into the grooves. Due to the air impermeable wrapper, the air flowing in the grooves is segregated from the smoke flowing through the filter rod so that ventilating air is the only substance flowing in the grooves.

  • Patent number: 4406295
    Abstract: A filter for a cigarette includes a porous filter rod circumscribed by a non-porous or air impermeable wrapper, and ventilating air grooves embedded in the wrapped filter rod which extend from one end of the filter rod a preselected distance generally longitudinally of the filter rod. An air permeable tipping material circumscribes the wrapped filter rod which provides a path therethrough for ventilating air flow only into the grooves. The walls of each of the grooves defined by the wrapper, in one form of the invention, is permeable to air over virtually its entire length, and in another form of the invention is permeable to air flow only adjacent the mouth end of the filter. Under certain smoking conditions most, if not all of the ventilating air will flow from the grooves into the smoker's mouth through the open end of the grooves at the mouth end of the filter rod.
