  • Patent number: 9986757
    Abstract: A coating method for sheathing material formed from paper or card for smoking materials or parts of smoking materials in order to reduce the tendency of the sheathing material to absorb and diffuse aqueous or oily substances, the sheathing material being provided on the same side with two coatings, which are applied one on top of the other and are each applied in liquid form in two successive coating steps. In the first coating step, at least one layer of a first coating substance is applied, which reduces the ability of the paper or card to absorb the liquid volatile matrix of the second coating substance; in the second coating step, at least one layer of a second coating substance is applied, which is repellent or impermeable to one or more of the following substances: oils, fats, waxes, alcohols, and water.

  • Patent number: 9924740
    Abstract: A layer composite acting as a covering for the filter of an article to smoke, which includes a filter cover which allows diffusion and a mouthpiece lining paper arranged outside said filter cover, the mouthpiece lining paper being in contact with a sensory substance area. A layer which is impervious to the substances contained in the sensory substance area is arranged between the mouthpiece lining paper and the filter cover. The filter cover consists of a material which allows diffusion.

  • Patent number: 9339059
    Abstract: A mouthpiece lining paper of a filter cigarette, which mouthpiece lining paper is provided on surface regions to be adhesively bonded with a three-dimensional surface structure, that is to say with a surface which has elevations and/or depressions, wherein the elevations and depressions protrude from and are set back from the film/foil surface only locally, respectively. The mouthpiece lining paper is a film/foil. In one preferred embodiment, a row of elevations and/or depressions runs along an edge of the mouthpiece lining paper of the type which runs along the overlap region of the mouthpiece lining paper with itself on the finished cigarette.
