Further, the second Y-shaped construction contains a second branching node from which a rectangular construction branches off. In the embodiment of Figure 1 1 , the minimize strip includes a primary Y-shaped construction including tobacco pipe a first branching node from which a second Y-shaped construction branches off. Further, the second Y-shaped construction includes a second branching node from which a third Y-shaped structure branches off.
The reduce width of one such Y-shaped strip corresponds considerably to the distance between the ends of the second and third strip portions as measured alongside a course perpendicular to the course outlined by an axis of the primary strip portion. Within the same Y-shaped strip, the sectional cut width of every strip portion could as an alternative be measured along a course substantially perpendicular to the axis of each strip portion. In some cases, similar to where the cut strip of tobacco materials is considerably rectangular , the sectional cut width and the strip reduce width are the same.
The time period “cut specification” is used throughout the specification to discuss with the various geometric parameters characterising the strips obtained by subjecting a tobacco material to a slicing operation. Thus, in accordance to a given “minimize specification”, a tobacco material shall be cut or shredded into strips having a predetermined minimize width, cut length, minimize form and so forth. Further, it might be fascinating to provide one such improved process that permits for a greater management of the shape, measurement and properties of the reconstituted tobacco matter forming part of the minimize filler. At the identical time, it might be desirable to supply one such process that doesn’t require any main modification of the conventional equipment and facilities used in the major therapy of tobacco.
A tobacco cut filler in accordance with claim 1 or 2, whereby the primary tobacco materials is a pre- processed tobacco material. In a third experiment, the cut specification no. 10 was barely modified with a view to bettering the resistance of the particles to the stresses involved by the cigarette-making course of. In explicit, there was concern that in the course of the cigarette-making process the tobacco particle would be exposed to excessive tensions and frictions which could cause particles ready in accordance with the reduce specification no. 10 to break. This may have decreased the benefit coming from the V-shape and shown by the CCV measurements described above. Figure 13 depicts a schematic view of an apparatus for forming a tobacco minimize filler in accordance with the present invention. Figures depict several examples of notably shapes into which tobacco material for forming a cut filler in accordance with the current invention could also be minimize.
A tobacco cut filler in accordance with any one of the previous claims, whereby the primary tobacco material is shredded into strips having a minimize size from about 5 mm to about 60 mm. A tobacco minimize filler according to any one of claims 2 to 4, wherein the second tobacco materials is a pure tobacco leaf materials. An angle of ninety degrees Filling cut tobacco was considered to be undesirable, in that it might lead basically to a form fairly just like the shape of Figure 6, and so an angle of 60 levels was chosen for the “V” elements. Further, the tactic ideally comprises the step of blending the minimize first tobacco materials and the reduce second tobacco material.
