1,135,737. Tobacco-smoke filters. PHILIP MORRIS Inc. 21 Oct., 1966 [23 Oct., 1965 (4)], No. 47324/66. Heading A2C. [Also in Division H1] A cigarette filter includes electrets or polarets (electrostatic analogues of permanent magnets - see also Division H1) having a pair of parallel surfaces one of which bears a coating of conductive material. The electret or polaret forming material is preferably a plastics material, e.g. cellulose acetate, P.V.C., polychlorotrifluoroethylene, P.T.F.E., polyvinylidene chloride, polymethyl methacrylate and polyethylene terephthalate. The conductive coating may be metal or carbon. As shown the metallised electret or polaret 66 is a strip 66a of plastics material which has been given a permanent charge and metal coating 66b, and coiled to fit inside the filter. Spaces are filled with cellulose acetate fibres. The electret or polaret removes charged constiuents of the tobacco smoke and is earthed by contact of the end of the metallised layer with the smoker's mouth. In alternative constructions a number of flat or tubular metallised electrets or polarets may be used (Figs. 13 to 16-not shown), or the metal layer may lie between two layers of electret or polaret forming material (Figs 17 to 22- not shown). |
