Title: Improvements in or relating to tobacco and to the expedients used for its consumption
IPC: A24B15/30
Filed: 1945-03-14
Abstract: A tobacco for smoking, snuffing or chewing contains at least one added substance such that a biologically appreciable quantity of vitamin PP (nicotinamid), i.e. at least one hundredth of a gram of the vitamin per kilogram of tobacco is added to the products resulting from the consumption of the tobacco and absorbed by the consumer.  Alternatively, the vitamin may be associated with the means used for consuming the tobacco such as a tobacco pipe.  The quantity of vitamin present should preferably be sufficient to neutralize at least parts of the toxic effects of the tobacco. The vitamin may be added directly to the tobacco or the vitamin may be produced by the addition to the tobacco of a substance which produces the vitamin by the heat of combustion of the tobacco, or the substance may be a generator of vitamin PP.  In one example, 1 kilogram of dry tobacco is mixed with 500 grams of an aqueous solution containing from 0.6-10 per cent of vitamin PP, and the tobacco then dried to give the required moisture content.  In another example, using a reagent which transforms nicotine into vitamin PP during combustion of the tobacco, 500 grams of an aqueous solution containing from 2 to 10 per cent of ferro chloride and from 0.2 to 2 per cent of colloidal manganese dioxide or manganese nitrate is added to the dry tobacco and the tobacco then suitably dried.  When the invention is embodied in a smoking expedient, the vitamin or generating agent may be present in a filter located in the end of a cigarette or the smoke duct of a pipe, cigar holder or cigarette holder.  Or a small central paper tube containing the vitamin or its generator may be located in a cigarette.  Or a baffle device containing the vitamin may be placed in a pipe below its bowl and serve also as a condenser.

Title: Fibrous products
IPC: D04H1/00
Filed: 1972-02-15
Abstract: 1383597 Producing fibres INMONT CORP 15 Feb 1972 [19 Feb 1971] 6891/72 Heading B5B [Also in Division Dl]  Apparatus.-In an electrostatic web former a solution of an elastomer is fed to a rotary surface 11, e.g. a cup-shape, having an electrical potential relative to a collecting surface, e.g. a conveyer 13, which is earthed. The elastomer is thrown centrifugally from the member 11 and entrained electrostatically towards the surface 13 where it lands as fibres in annular configuration. More than one rotor 11 may be provided and they or it may be arranged to traverse. Supplementary fibre collecting surfaces (17) may be arranged adjacent the conveyer 13, Fig. 2 (not shown), to catch surplus fibres when the pattern extends beyond the conveyer edge. Torso-shaped moulds, Fig. 4, may be used as collecting surfaces, or the fibre may be sprayed on to receiving members requiring an insulative covering, e.g. car bonnets.  Fibrous web.-The polymer used in this apparatus is preferably of the soluble thermoplastic elastomeric type. An example given is a polyester polyurethane, the polyester being of a hydroxycarboxylic acid, or of a glycol and a dicarboxylic acid, or a mixed polyester of these components. Examples of other polyurethane polymers are also given. The polyurethane material may be polyurethane per se or blends of polyurethanes and other high polymers, e.g. a vinyl chloride polymer or a rubbery copolymer of a conjugated diolefin and acrylonitrile. The amount of such other polymer is generally under 40%. It is also possible to attain the final molecular weight of the polymer after fibre deposition by further chemical reaction such as chain-extending and/or cross-linking. For example a fibre polymer having "blocked" isocyanate groups at its ends and having mixed therewith a suitable proportion of a chain extender or cross-linking agent may be employed and then the isocyanate groups can be unblocked, e.g. by heating, whereby the unblocked isocyanate groups react with the chain-extender or cross-linking agent. Other fibre-forming water-soluble elastomers may also be employed in place of the polyurethane material. The web produced may be embossed in a fine leather grain pattern by means of heated embossing rollers or the surface may be abraded to give a napped or suede-like finish. The surface may also be hot ironed or formed on a shiny forming surface to give a "wet look".
