Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive material can be applied as a coating formulation in an off-line manner to a continuous paper sheet web that is later used for cigarette manufacture. The additive material can be applied as a coating formulation in an on-line manner to continuous paper web moving through an operat...

The invention relates to a method of, and to a device for, checking cigarettes (12) during the production or packaging of the cigarettes (12), a push rod (35) being displaced axially in the direction of a cigarette end, with the result that, in the event of the incorrect formation or absence of a cigarette (12), the push rod (35) assumes a position other than an ideal position. The invention is based on the problem of improving the operation of checking cigarettes and of configuring this operati...

A non-smokable tobacco product comprises a rod-shaped element of cigarette tobacco with a filter element at one end and both enclosed by a tubular wrapper. The product is rendered unsmokable by a perforation extending through the wrapper of the tobacco or the filter element so that when air is drawn through the filter substantially all of the air enters through those perforations, there being insufficient air flow through the tip end to propagate normal cigarette combustion of the tobacco at tha...

A handling installation disclosed, in particular for cigarettes. Known installations for handling cigarettes have a reservoir for temporarily storing the cigarettes, a maker (10) for the cigarettes and a packer (11). The maker (10) is arranged upstream of the reservoir (12) and the packer (11) is arranged downstream of the reservoir (12). In known installations, synchronising the action between reservoir (12), packer (11) and maker (10) causes problems. In the disclosed installation, the working...

Conventional cigarette packets with flap-tops are often referred to as hinge-lid packets. They consist of a packet portion 12, a lid 13 connected to the packet portion 12 by a hinge, and a collar 35 disposed in the packet portion 12. In order to create new appeal for hinge-lid packets, openings 52, 53 are formed with the packet portion 12 and the lid 13 so that imprinting may be displayed. The openings or recesses 52, 53 are closed on the side pointing towards the packet contents, namely the blo...

Packets (2) of cigarettes are packed in multiples adopting a rigid carton (1) of parallelepiped shape presenting two end faces (11, 12) coinciding with the flanks (13, 14), and four side faces (3, 4, 5, 6) of which two coincide with the bottom (10) and the top (8). One of the side faces (3, 4, 5, 6) constituting the front (7) incorporates a removable portion (15) serving to mask on openable cover (19) that can be rotated about a hinge (20) between a position in which the carton (1) is closed, an...

Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive materials, which can have the forms of liquid or paste formulations, can be applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers. One of those rollers can have a series of pockets in its roll face to receive additive formulation from a reservoir and to define t...

Multipack for a group of cigarette packs (10) that are arranged in two rows and are enclosed by a multipack blank (11) made of thin cardboard. The multipack blank (11) is designed and folded such that a top side (12) is free and it is possible to see the cigarette packs (10) positioned therein. The pack unit is enclosed by an outer wrapper (22) made of transparent or see-through film with a tear-open strip (23).

The additive materials, are applied to a continuous paper web on the cigarette making apparatus. The formulation can be applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers, and one of those rollers has a series of pockets in its roll face to receive additive formulation fr...

During the production of cigarettes, but in particular in the region of a cigarette-packaging machine, a comparatively large amount of tobacco accumulates as waste. This is specifically removed by arranging suction-extraction elements and/or conveying-away elements for tobacco particles (19) in the region of elements and subassemblies of the machines with increased accumulation of tobacco. The air with tobacco particles (19) which has been extracted by suction is led through a tobacco separator ...
