Problems solved by technology

However, known apparatus and manufacturing processes are not suitable for manufacturing smoking articles in a multi-stage process where it is necessary to prevent at least one component of the smoking article from contacting at least one other component of the smoking article
Known apparatus and manufacturing processes for making smoking articles with a combustible heat source use a linear process in which multiple components are provided individually, and thus are not the same as those used to make traditional Cigarettes are processed relatively slowly

Embodiment Construction

[0084] figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cross-section of a smoking article 100 is shown. The process is described in detail below with reference to the following features of the smoking article. The smoking article 100 includes a combustible heat source 102 having a spacer 104 . The spacer is a layer of aluminum foil secured to one end of the combustible heat source with adhesive. An aerosol-forming substrate 106 is disposed longitudinally adjacent the combustible heat source. The aerosol-forming substrate 106 includes tobacco material. The smoking article also includes an airflow directing section 108 , an expansion chamber 110 , an aerosol cooling section and a mouthpiece filter 114 .

[0085] The combustible heat source 102 , the aerosol-forming substrate 106 and the airflow directing segment 108 are wrapped in a wrapper 116 to form a first multi-segmented component of the smoking article 100 . The first multi-segmented member is wrapped in an inner thermally conducti...

Abstract

The present invention provides methods and apparatus for manufacturing smoking articles (100). The first multi-segmented components each comprising a combustible heat source (102), an aerosol-forming substrate (106) and an airflow directing segment (108) are formed by feeding a series of combustible heat sources (102) along a moving delivery path ), an aerosol-forming substrate (106), and an airflow-directing segment (108); compacting the segments into groups; wrapping each group; and cutting the web material between groups so that a single first multi-segment The parts are separated from each other. A series of first multi-segmented parts is supplied to the receiving device, and a series of second multi-segmented parts is also supplied to the receiving device, each second multi-segmented part comprising a mouthpiece and at least one other segment . Combining the first multi-segmented component and the second multi-segmented component by wrapping the first multi-segmented component in a web material to form a single smoking article, the smoking article at There is a combustible heat source (102) at one end and a mouthpiece at a second end.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for manufacturing smoking articles in a multi-stage process. In particular, the invention relates to methods and apparatus for combining multi-segmented components. Background technique [0002] Apparatus and processes for making smoking articles composed of multiple components are known in the art. For example, a rolling process may be used in which the smoking articles and components are aligned substantially perpendicular to the direction of travel. Alternatively, a linear process may be used in which the components are aligned substantially longitudinally along the direction of travel. In some arrangements, a combination of these two processes is used, for example, the combination can be performed as a rolled process and the wrapping can be performed as a linear process. However, known apparatus and manufacturing processes are not suitable for manufacturing smoking articles in a multi-stage ...
