Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a smoking article, and more specifically, to a smoking article that contains a flavor generating member that generates flavor by heating without burning.
  • a smoking article of the above-described type entails a basic problem, that is, the amount of flavor generated vary readily, depending on the heat generating status of the heat generating member.
  • a fuel element formed using carbon as the main raw material is most generally employed.
  • such a fuel element exhibits a non-uniform behavior in which the heat generating amount reaches its maximum value during the period from the ignition to the first half of the smoking and thereafter the heat generating amount gradually decreases to become eventually extinguished.
  • the amount of flavor released by the heat exhibits a similar behavior and thus there is a significant difference created between the maximum amount and specially the amount of the last half of the smoking. Therefore, it is pointed out that users feel a stress due to the non-uniform change in amount of smoke and in flavor during smoking, which degrades the feeling of satisfaction.
  • Jpn. Pat. Appln. KOKAI Publication No. 5-277191 discloses an example of the smoking article obtained by laminating a fuel member and a plate-like formed member made of a flavor generating member in amount corresponding to the predetermined number of puffs, together, in order to deliver a constant quality of flavor.
  • the temperature of the fuel member easily decreases, which makes it difficult to maintain the combustion, thereby making it highly possible that the article is extinguished.
  • the flavor generating member is heated at all times, the quality of the member is, in many cases, deteriorated by the unnecessary heat.
  • the article since the article requires matching between the burning rate of the fuel member with the timing of puffing, it is difficult for the users to take their own desired puffing intervals, thereby increasing the stress on the users.
  • the structure of the article is complicated, which makes the manufacturing process difficult accordingly.
  • the present invention has been achieved in view of the above-described drawbacks, and aims to provide a smoking article having a simple structure, that can deliver flavor in a stable amount at each puff, by which users can enjoy smoking without feeling the stress caused by an uneven change in amount of smoke and in flavor during smoking.
  • the present invention provides a smoking article comprising a hollow cylindrical member provided with a heat generating member at its distal end portion and a mouthend section at its proximal end portion, and a flavor generating member provided adjacent to the heat generating member within the cylindrical member, the flavor generating member comprising a plurality of granules each containing 65 to 93% by mass of a substantially non-porous inorganic filler material, 1 to 3% by mass of a binder and 6 to 32% by mass of a flavoring substance, on a dry mass basis (that is, an amount taken when the materials do not contain moisture).
  • the inorganic filler material has a BET specific surface area of 3 m 2 /g or less, and is preferably made of calcium carbonate.
  • the granules be filled in the closest packing state, the ratio of the filled length in the axial direction of the cylindrical member of the granules to the inner diameter of the cylindrical member be in a range of 2 to 4, and the ratio of the inner diameter of the cylindrical member to the major diameter of the granules be 4 to 15.
  • the granules can be in the form of pellets, tablets or spheres.
  • the binder comprise methylhydroxyethylcellulose.
  • the heat generating member exhibits a thermal conductivity of 1.0 W/m ⁇ K or less at room temperature. It is preferable that the heat generating member be made of a carbonaceous material containing the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material in an amount of 15 to 65% by mass, and the inorganic filler material contained in the heat generating member be made of calcium carbonate having a BET specific surface area of 3 m 2 /g or less.
  • the mouthend portion can be constituted by a filter having a filtration efficiency of 20% or less, or a hollow filter.
  • a smoking article according to the present invention is a so-called non-combustion type smoking article that does not burn a flavor generating member, and provided with a flavor generating member that releases a flavor component when the member is heated by the heat generated from the heat generating member ignited.
  • the flavor generating member has a specified composition and is provided in a hollow cylindrical member.
  • the cylindrical member has a heat generating member at its distal end portion, and its proximal end portion constitutes a mouthend portion.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing a structure of a smoking article according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a smoking article 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a hollow cylindrical member 11 that constitutes the main body of the smoking article.
  • a heat generating member 13 is provided at a distal end portion of the cylindrical member 11, and a proximal end portion of the cylindrical member 11 constitutes a mouthend portion 17.
  • a flavor generating member 15 of the present invention is provided adjacent to the heat generating member 13 within the cylindrical member 11.
  • the cylindrical member 11 is usually of a circular cylindrical shape, and is preferably made of a thermally stable material such as aluminum or stainless steel. Further, in order to reduce its heat capacity, the thickness of the cylindrical member 11 is preferably made small, for example, 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm.
  • the cylindrical member 11 may have an inner diameter of about 7 mm to 8 mm and a length of about 80 mm to 120 mm as in the case of usual cigarettes.
  • the entire outer surface of the cylindrical member 11 is usually wrapped around with a heat insulating member 12 so that the cylindrical member can be held by fingers without any trouble.
  • the flavor generating member 15 employed for the smoking article of the present invention is made of a plurality of granules each containing 65 to 93% by mass of a substantially non-porous inorganic filler material, 1 to 3% by mass of a binder and 6 to 32% by mass of a flavoring substance on a dry mass basis.
  • the flavoring substance includes, for example, a substance that generates aerosol (an alcohol, a saccharide, water), a substance that generates a flavor only (menthol, caffeine, a natural extract), when heated by the heat from the heat generating member burned, as well as tobacco, a tobacco extract, and a mixture of these.
  • a substance that generates aerosol an alcohol, a saccharide, water
  • menthol a substance that generates a flavor only
  • menthol caffeine, a natural extract
  • the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material which is one of the components of the flavor generating member 15, has a BET specific surface area of 3 m 2 /g or less.
  • a so-called porous material that has innumerable extremely fine pores for example, activated carbon, ceramics such as alumina beads and silica, or a molecular sieve has a property of taking other substances inside by adsorption or absorption.
  • the flavoring substance is merely held in gaps each created between the substrate grains made of a substantially non-porous inorganic filler material.
  • the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material It is particularly preferable to use calcium carbonate grains having a BET specific surface area of 3 m 2 /g or less as the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material. It is fully possible that the granular molded materials are made of a tobacco raw material, or a substituting plant raw material and its extract, etc.; however, such a material, in many cases, causes combustion or thermal decomposition by heat and therefore the thermal behavior becomes unstable. As a result, the amount of flavor delivered is easily made unstable, and it is possible to cause the problem of the thermal denaturalization of the flavor due to the porousness.
  • the binder contained in the flavor generating member of the present invention cellulose, various types of cellulose derivatives, alginates, guar gum, xanthan gum, locust bean gum and the like can be used.
  • the use of methylhydroxyethylcellulose can improve the sustainability of the flavoring substance and provide excellent flavor and taste.
  • the amount of the binder added is increased, the physical strength of the molded material is increased, thereby making it possible to facilitate the handling of it.
  • most of the binders in many cases, create an unfavorable effect on the flavor when they are heated at a high temperature. Therefore, as long as the material can be handled without any particular troubles, the amount of the binder added should preferably be as small as in a range of 1 to 3% by mass.
  • the (molded or formed) granules that constitute the flavor generating member of the present invention can be prepared by mixing the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material, the binder and the flavoring substance in amounts mentioned above, and adding an appropriate amount of water required to generate the binding force of the binder. Then, the mixture is molded by an extruder, granulating machine, pelleting machine or the like into a predetermined size and shape. Thus, the granules can be formed into pellets, tablets, spheres or the like.
  • an air permeable heat resisting member 16a made of, for example, a metal mesh is provided between the heat generating member 13 and the flavor generating member 15 so that the flavor generating member 15 is not directly brought into contact with the heat generator 13.
  • the heat generating member 13 provided at the distal end portion of the cylindrical member 11 of the smoking article of the present invention can be made of a carbonaceous material such as carbon.
  • the carbonaceous material can be formed into a desired shape by an extruder, pelleting machine or the like. It is preferable that the shape of the carbonaceous material be circular cylinder.
  • Such a heat generating member includes an air flow path, through which air is introduced into the cylindrical member 11 from outside via the heat generating member 13 by a suction from the mouthend, and the introduced air heated by the heat generating member 13 is allowed to pass through the air flow path created between the granules 151 of the flavor generating member 15, thereby making it possible for the smoker to enjoy the flavoring component thus generated.
  • Such an air flow path can be made of at least one groove provided in an outer circumferential surface of the carbonaceous cylinder formed material along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member 11 or at least one through hole made through the carbonaceous cylinder formed material along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member 11.

  • the type and composition of the carbonaceous material but also the shape (the depth of each groove and the diameter of each through hole) and the number of air flow paths in the heat generating member 13 have an effect on the combustion characteristics such as the ignition time of the heat generating member, combustion speed, combustion temperature and the amount of product created by the combustion.
  • an ignition time characteristic it is required to be such an ignition time that can be expected without a feeling of any significant difference by the user from the ignition of an ordinary cigarette (within about 1 second.)
  • an ignition time for the carbonaceous material of within about 1.5 seconds can be achieved by selecting such a composition of the carbonaceous material that the heat conductivity at room temperature (about 22°C) is 1.0 W/m ⁇ K or less.
  • the heat generating member is made of a carbon material composition that contains the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material in an amount of 15 to 65% by mass (the balance is carbon), the amount of carbon is substantially reduced.
  • the amount of combustion product especially, carbon monoxide
  • the amount of combustion that is, the number of puffs can be decreased, and therefore, the total amount of combustion product can be reduced.
  • the substantially nonporous inorganic filler material calcium carbonate having a BET specific surface area of 3 m 2 /g or less is particularly suitable. The heat generated by the combustion of the heat generating member 13 heats the flavor generating member 15 disposed adjacent to the heat generating member and makes it vaporize the flavor to be released.
  • the heat generating member 13 is surrounded by a heat-resisting enclosing member 14 and it is inserted and fixed in the cylindrical member 11.
  • a flavor supplying member 18 can be provided on a downstream side of the flavor generating member 15.

  • the flavor generating member 15 and the flavor supplying member 18 are disposed to be in direct contact with each other; however it is preferable that a gap portion 19 be provided between these members as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the gap portion 19 serves to promote the cooling of the aerosol or flavor generated from the flavor generating member 15, thereby making it possible to reduce the loss caused by the condensation of the aerosol or flavor in the flavor supplying member 18 and the mouthend portion 19.

  • an air permeable member 16b similar to the air permeable member 16a is provided on a downstream side of the flavor generating member 15 so that the granules 151 do not move.
  • the granules 151 are filled in the cylindrical member 11 in its closest packing state. If the granules 151 are loosely put in the cylinder member, they are unevenly distributed in the member while being used, and thus the fluid paths formed between granules 151 become uneven, thereby deteriorating the uniformity of the amount of flavor delivered. For this reason, it is preferable that the granules be filled in the cylindrical member at the closest packing density so that the initial filled state can be maintained.

  • the ratio is smaller than 4, the heat capacity per granule 151 increases, and therefore there is a tendency that the amount of flavor delivered at the initial stage of the smoking is decreased.
  • the ratio is larger than 15, the suction resistance is increased, and therefore the suction tends to become difficult.
  • the major diameter of the granules 151 should preferably be set in a range of about 2.0 to 0.5 mm.
