Embodiment Construction

[0040] Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0041] Figure 1A A case where the capsule-mounted filter according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used for a cigarette CG as a smoking article is shown. Figure 1B The capsule CA-1 mounted on the filter FL-1 included in the cigarette CG is taken out and shown.

[0042] exist Figure 1A In the filter cigarette CG, the filter FL-1 is arranged at one end of the cigarette main body 100 in which shredded tobacco is rolled into a rod shape with tissue paper. This filter FL-1 is equipped with two filter body parts composed of rod-shaped filter parts 202 and 203 inside a flexible sheath 201. The sheath 201 forms, for example, a tube that encloses a sheet and sticks its ends together. shape. The cigarette body 100 and the filter FL-1 are connected together by the tipping paper 101 arranged to cover both of them, and a filter cigarette CG is produced. ...

Abstract

A filter of the invention includes: a capsule CA having a tubular shape and including a peripheral wall 10 constituting a peripheral surface of the tubular shape and a pair of end walls 11, 12 closing front and rear openings of the tubular shape, respectively, the capsule having a liquid encapsulated therein, at least the peripheral wall 10 being elastically deformable, and the peripheral wall being provided with at least one ring-shaped main thin-walled region 10a extending in a peripheral direction of the peripheral wall or with at least one straight main thin-walled region 10c extending in an axial direction perpendicular to the peripheral direction; and a generally cylindrical filter body having an accommodation space 204 in which the capsule CA is accommodated, wherein the capsule is disposed within the accommodation space such that the ring-shaped main thin-walled region 10a or the straight main thin-walled region 10c is directed parallel to a radial direction of the filter body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filter mounted with a liquid-enclosed capsule suitable for smoking articles such as filter cigarettes, and a smoking article including the filter. Background technique [0002] When smoking, by infiltrating liquid such as water or an aqueous solution in which flavored additives are dissolved into filters of smoking articles such as filter cigarettes, the flavor characteristics of mainstream smoke can be improved, or flavors different from mainstream smoke can be added. In this case, the liquid is carried in the filter body in the form of being enclosed in a capsule, and the user destroys the capsule before smoking to allow the liquid to flow out from the capsule, thereby allowing the liquid to penetrate into the filter. Specifically, the user pinches the capsule between fingers from the outside of the filter, applies external force to the capsule, and destroys the capsule. [0003] However, capsules formed of polysac...
