  • Publication number: 20240324662
    Abstract: This filler element is used in a flavor inhaler, and comprises: a folded part in which one sheet composed of a nonwoven fabric has been folded in the width direction Z intersecting the longitudinal direction X thereof, and the diameter thereof has been reduced to a size not greater than the diameter of the filler element; and wrapping paper that is wrapped on the folded part. A section of the folded part in the circumferential direction thereof has an opening that is open along the axial direction X of the folded part, and an additive is placed on the interior of the folded part via the opening.

  • Publication number: 20240315318
    Abstract: Provided is a filling element used for a flavor inhalation article, the filling element including: a sheet fill section obtained by randomly gathering and reducing the diameter of one sheet in a width direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the sheet; and, a roll paper wrapped around the sheet fill section. The sheet is a dry nonwoven fabric obtained by bonding plant-derived fibers together with a binder and drying the fibers.

  • Publication number: 20240315311
    Abstract: This filler element 6 is used in a flavor inhaler 1, and comprises: a folded part 36 in which one sheet 34 composed of a nonwoven fabric has been folded in the width direction Z intersecting the longitudinal direction X thereof, and the diameter thereof has been reduced to a size not greater than the diameter of the filler element 6; and wrapping paper 18 that is wrapped on the folded part 36. The sheet 34 is subjected to a compression process in which at least a portion thereof in the width direction Z is compressed, such that if the total of the widths D1 of the compressed sections of the sheet 34 in the width direction Z is defined as the total compressed width Dt1 of the sheet 34, the ratio of the total compressed width Dt1 relative to the sheet width Ds of the sheet in the width direction Z is a prescribed ratio.
