Benefits of technology

[0004]Embodiments of the invention include a cigarette pressure filter device 20 mm or smaller designed for removing and retaining 66% to 90% or more of tar or nicotine in a cigarette, which filter is held in place by the cigarette and points of contact with the cigarette including a sleeve and one or more affixing spikes, further comprising a low profile, and less waste for manufacturing and for discard

Problems solved by technology

Given the much smaller inner area and volume, chamber and overall size of embodiments of this innovative filter, should the design aspects not fall within the parameters required, the filter will either not filter sufficiently or it will be unable to retain accumulated tar resulting in a sudden massive release, also called “backwash”.
Other failures caused by designs outside the parameters include overly restricting air flow, resulting in a difficult “draw”

Example

[0052]A third embodiment would be to construct a “soft” or “hidden / stealth” MICRO filter by placing a specially sized Micro filter inside a hollowed out acetate of cotton cigarette filter. This design would include soft acetate or cotton filter walls of 2.5 to 3 mm in thickness. Also it would include either “right angle fins” or a spiral “screw type” ridge on the outside of the filter to assist insertion and retention of the micro filter inside the acetate or cotton filter shell.

Implementation of the Invention in the Industry

[0053]The micro-filter cigarette holder serving the above-mentioned purposes may be manufactured by plastic injection technology; it enables its user a more comfortable and durable utilization and consumption; is more eco-friendly as it contains less amount of plastic and has a structure adaptable to the industry.

[0054]The micro filter offers ease of use and discreteness not available in standard filters sold.

Abstract

This invention relates to a filtering device for use with cigarettes and other smoking products. Embodiments of the invention include a cigarette holder equipped with pressure filtering. Embodiments may be smaller than about 20 mm, include a separate semi-closed collection chamber to prevent “backwash” of tar which would otherwise occur due to the filter's small size, require less material than current cigarette filters, enable more effective filtration, increase filter capacity for holding tar, and provide additional benefits resulting from the greater likelihood of use by smokers. Another embodiment would include the replacement of the plastic casing with paper, creating a filter made mostly of naturally biodegradable material.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority benefit of: U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 337,483, filed May 17, 2016.FIELD OF THE INVENTION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]In conventional cigarette filtration technology, pressure filter cigarette holders used both in the United States and abroad consist of a filter about 25 mm in length, which includes a transparent cigarette holder with a mouthpiece. Current, known pressure cigarette filters are longer than at least about 25 mm, or 2.5 cm.[0003]The function of pressure-based filtered cigarette holders is to reduce the damage of cigarettes by means of capturing the tar contained in the cigarette smoke along with reducing the nicotine and carcinogenic compounds that cigarettes deliver.SUMMARY[0004]Embodiments of the invention include a cigarette pressure filter device 20 mm or smaller designed for removing and retaining 66% to 90% or more of tar or nicotine in a cigarette, which filter is held in place by the cigarett...
