Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater suitable for use in an electric smoking system. SOLUTION: The heater (39) for use in a smoking system having an electric energy source for heating a cigarette has a plurality of electric resister heater blades (121) which form a container for receiving the inserted cigarette and are extended along the inserted cigarette; each blade has the first heater blade leg (116A) having the first and second ends, the second heater blade leg (116B) having the first and second ends (122), and a connection section (118) for connecting the second ends of the first heater blade legs to the first ends of the second heater blade legs; the first and second heater blade legs of each heater blade are separated through each gap (125); the first ends of the first heater blade legs are disposed to electrically contact with an electric source; the first heater blade leg, the connection section and the heater blade leg are combined to form each resister heating route; each electric heater blade is heated along the first and second blades to heat the inserted cigarette; the first ends of the first blades have a common connector.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tobacco web suitable for the use in an electrical cigarette system. SOLUTION: The tobacco web wound so as to form a cylindrical tobacco rod 60 for a cigarette 23 operated by an electric cigar lighter 25 (figure 2) includes a base web 68 and a tobacco material 70 arranged along the first side of the base web. The base web comprises a combination of a tobacco fiber with a cellulosic fiber combined in a ratio of from about 2:1 to 4:1. The base web has a basic weight within the range of about 35 to 45 g/cm 2 , and the tobacco material has at least twice of the basic weight of the base web. The tobacco material contains finely pulverized tobacco and an extracted tobacco solid material in a ratio of from about 3:1 to 9:1, and further contains a humectant in a level of about 5 to 20 wt.% of the material.

Abstract:
A cigarette (23) comprises a tobacco rod having filled and unfilled portions arranged so that electrical heater elements (37) may overlap both portions. The rod includes a tubular tobacco web. The web is constructed by converting tobacco feedstock into a continuous sheet of tobacco web and converting the continuous sheet of tobacco web into one or ore bobbins of tobacco web suitable for automated manufacture of cigarettes. A heater (25) comprises a supporting hub and electrically resistive heater blades (37) defining a receptacle (27) for an inserted cigarette (23). Each blade comprises first and second heater blade legs each having a first end and a second end, and a connecting section connecting the second end of the first leg and the first end of the second leg. The blades (37) are heated by a resistive heating circuit and heat the inserted cigarette (23). The legs are separated by a gap to permit entrainment of flavour substances upon drawing.

A CIGARETTE (23) COMPRISES A TOBACCO ROD (60) HAVING FILLED AND UNFILLED PORTIONS ARRANGED SO THAT ELECTRICAL HEATER ELEMENTS (31) MAY OVERLAP BOTH PORTIONS. THE ROD (60) INCLUDES A TUBULAR TOBACCO WEB (66). THE WEB (66) IS CONSTRUCTED BY CONVERTING TOBACCO FEEDSTOCK INTO A CONTINUOUS SHEET OF TOBACCO WEB AND CONVERTING THE CONTINUOUS SHEET OF TOBACCO WEB INTO ONE OR MORE BOBBINS OF TOBACCO WEB SUITABLE FOR AUTOMATED MANUFACTURE OF CIGARETTES. A HEATER (25) COMPRISES A SUPPORTING HUB AND ELECTRICALLY RESISTIVE HEATER BLADES (37) DEFMING A RECEPTACLE (27) FOR AN INSERTED CIGARETTE (23). EACH BLADE COMPRISES FIRST AND SECOND HEATER BLADE LEGS EACH HAVING A FIRST END AND A SECOND END, AND A CONNECTING SECTION CONNECTING THE SECOND END OF THE FIRST LEG AND THE FIRST END OF THE SECOND LEG. THE BLADES (37) ARE HEATED BY A RESISTIVE HEATING CIRCUIT AND HEAT THE INSERTED CIGARETTE (23). THE LEGS ARE SEPARATED BY A GAP TO PERMIT ENTRAINMENT OF FLAVOUR SUBSTANCES UPON DRAWING.FIG. 1
