Apparatus for making cigarette with burn rate modification

A cigarette making apparatus for forming a cigarette having reduced ignition propensity, comprising:

• a first feeding path for a first web of material from a bobbin, said first web of material forming an outer wrap of a cigarette;
• a second feeding path for a second web of material from a transverse wound bobbin, said second web of material forming an inner wrap strip for said cigarette;
• a slitter positioned in said second feeding path to slit said second web of material into a plurality strips;
• an unrolling device rotatably supporting said transverse wound bobbin, said unrolling device having a triangular pan mounted adjacent said transverse wound bobbin, said second feeding path for said second web of material extending from said transverse wound bobbin across said triangular pan to said slitter.

A cigarette making machine for manufacture of a partial double wrap cigarette, comprising:

• a garniture belt and a bullet roller adjacent a first end of said garniture belt;
• a first bobbin of material feeding an outer wrap for a cigarette to said bullet roller and said garniture belt;
• a second bobbin of material providing a web of an inner wrap material to said bullet roller and said garniture belt;
• an unrolling device rotatably mounting said second bobbin of material, said web of inner wrap material extending from said second bobbin and around a tension bar on a tensioning arm;
• a stabilizer having a wide upper end and a narrower lower end, said web of inner wrap material extending from said wide upper end to said narrow lower end;
• a slitting device adjacent said bullet roller, said web of inner wrap material cut into a plurality of strips by said slitting device.

A cigarette making machine in combination with a transverse wound bobbin of material, comprising:

• an unrolling device for rotatably mounting said transverse wound bobbin, said transverse wound bobbin having an inner wrap web of material wound thereon;
• a bullet roller at a first end of a garniture belt;
• a outer wrap web of material wound on a outer wrap bobbin, said outer wrap web of material fed to said bullet roller;
• a slitting device interposed between said bullet roller and said transverse wound bobbin;
• wherein said inner wrap web of material has a predefined width which is less than a predefined width of said outer wrap web of material.

A device for manufacturing a cigarette with inner wrap strips, comprising:

• a cigarette maker having a garniture belt and a slitting device;
• an outer wrap web of material wound on an outer wrap bobbin, said outer wrap web of material fed to said garniture belt of said cigarette maker;
• an inner wrap web of material wound on a transverse wound bobbin, said inner wrap of material passing through said slitting device on said cigarette maker;
• said inner wrap web of material wound on said transverse wound bobbin having a predefined width, said predefined width being less than a predefined width of said outer wrap web of material.

A cigarette making machine in combination with a transverse wound bobbin of material, comprising:

• an unrolling device for rotatably mounting said transverse wound bobbin, said transverse wound bobbin having an inner wrap web of material wound thereon, said inner wrap web of material extending from said transverse wound bobbin over a tensioning bar and through a stabilization device;
• a bullet roller at a first end of a garniture belt;
• a outer wrap web of material wound on a outer wrap bobbin, said outer wrap web of material fed to said bullet roller;
• a slitting device interposed between said bullet roller and said transverse wound bobbin;
• wherein said inner wrap web of material wound on said transverse wound bobbin has a predefined width of 12 mm or less.

A cigarette making machine in combination with a transverse wound bobbin of material, comprising:

• an unrolling device for rotatably mounting a transverse wound bobbin, said transverse wound bobbin having an inner wrap web of bandcast tobacco material wound thereon, said inner wrap web of material extending from said transverse wound bobbin over a tensioning bar and through a stabilization device;
• a bullet roller at a first end of a garniture belt on said cigarette maker;
• a outer wrap web of material wound on an outer wrap bobbin, said outer wrap web of material fed to said bullet roller and being about 27 mm in width;
• a slitting device interposed between said bullet roller and said transverse wound bobbin, said inner wrap web of material extending from said transverse wound bobbin to said slitting device and said bullet roller;
• wherein said inner wrap web of material wound on said transverse wound bobbin has a width of 12 mm or less, a porosity of less than 3 Coresta Units and a weight of greater than 70 GSM.

A cigarette making machine for making a cigarette having a reduced ignition propensity, in combination with an inner wrap bobbin of material, comprising:

• a garniture area, garniture belt and bullet roller at a first end of said garniture area;
• an unrolling device for mounting an inner wrap bobbin of material, said inner wrap bobbin of material having stored thereon an inner wrap web;
• a stabilizer device receiving said inner wrap web and allowing said inner wrap web to extend there through;
• an outer wrap bobbin of material having stored thereon an outer wrap web, said outer wrap web fed to said bullet roller;
• wherein said inner wrap web is 13 mm or less in width.
