PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Tobacco.
I, RICHARD PSERHOFER, of 13, Singerstrasse, Vienna, Austria, Apothecary,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a method of manufacturing tobacco impregnated with
ethereous oils, which is characterized by intimately mixing the tobacco either with
finely powdered dry vegetable matter in particular with the leaves of mentha piperita,
mentha crispa, thymus vulgaris, the eucalypten species, or the melissa officinalis or
by moistening it with the alcoholic, ethereous or aqueous solutions or emulsions of
ethereous oils obtained from the said vegetables or their stearoptenes, or by mixing
the tobacco with the latter or by impregnating it with their vapours.
The said method may thus be carried out in various ways according to the
material used for impregnation as will readily be seen from the following-
When using vegetable matter, according to the desired degree of impregnation,
finely powdered
Folia mentha piperitæ,
or folia menthe crispa,
or folia eucalipti,
or folia thymi,
is mixed with the tobacco in quantity according to the desired intensity and then
suitably packed.
As previously mentioned ethereous oils obtained from vegetable matter may be
used in lieu of vegetable matter only.
In this case the tobacco is moistened preferably by means of a sprayer, to a
degree of impregnation as may be desired with an alcoholic, ethereous or aqueous
solution or emulsion of
Oleum menthe piperitæ,
or oleum mentha crispa,
or oleum eucalipti,
or oleum thymi,
or oleum melissæ,
.
and for the purpose of removing the solution means carefully dried at a medium
temperature.
It in place of the light oils, the stearoptenes of the same, i.e. menthol, thymol,
eucaliptol or the stearopten of the meliso oil are used, one or more of these bodies
according to the desired degree of impregnation is mixed in a finely powdered
condition or in the form of an alcoholic ethereous or aqueous solution or emulsion
with the tobacco and in the latter case the tobacco carefully dried at a medium
temperature.
As previously mentioned the impregnation of the tobacco with the said material
may also take place in a gaseous form of the latter.
For this purpose the menthol, thymol or eucalyptol is heated in closed retorts
and the vapours evolved led into chambers or the like which contains the tobacco
to be impregnated.

page_text: I, RICHARD PSERHOFER, of 13, Singerstrasse, Vienna, Austria, Apothecary,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a method of manufacturing tobacco impregnated with
ethereous oils, which is characterized by intimately mixing the tobacco either with
finely powdered dry vegetable matter in particular with the leaves of menthapiperita,
mentha crispa, thymus vulgaris, the eucalypten species, or the melissa officinalis or
by moistening it with the alcoholic, ethercous or aqueous solutions or emulsions
of ethereons oils obtained from the said vegetables or their stearoptenes, or by
mixing the tobacco with the latter or by impregnating it with their vapours.
The said method may thus be carried out in various ways according to the
material used for impregnation as will readily be seen from the following-
When using vegetable matter, according to the desired degree of impregnation,
finely powdered
Folia mentha piperitæ,
or folia menthæ crispa,
or folia eucalypti,
or folia thymi,
is mixed with the tobacco in quantity according to the desired intensity and then
suitably packed.
As previously mentioned ethereous oils obtained from vegetable matter may be
used in lieu of vegetable matter only.
In this case the tobacco is moistened preferably by means of a sprayer, to a
degree of impregnation as may be desired with an alcoholic, ethereous or aqueous
solution or emulsion of
Oleum menthe piperita,
or oleum menthæ crispa,
or oleum eucalypti,
or oleum thymi,
or ileum melissæ,
and for the purpose of removing the solution means carefully dried at a medium
temperature.
If in place of the light oils, the stearoptenes of the same, i.e. menthol, thymol,
eucalyptol or the stearopten of the meliso oil are used, one or more of these bodies
according to the desired degree of impregnation is mixed in a finely powdered
condition or in the form of an alcoholic ethereous or aqueous solution or emulsion
with the tobacco and in the latter case the tobacco carefully dried at a medium
temperature.
As previously mentioned the impregnation of the tobacco with the said material
may also take place in a gaseous form of the latter.
For this purpose the menthol, thymol or eucalyptol is heated in closed retorts
and the vapours evolved led into chambers or the like which contains the tobacco
to be impregnated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim, is-
1st. A method of manufacturing tobacco impregnated with volatile oils, consisting in
intimately mixing the tobacco with dry finely powdered vegetable matter, particularly

page_text: such as leaves of mentha piperita, mentha crispa, eucalypten species or melissa
officinalis or in moistening the tobacco with alcoholic, ethereous or aqueous solutions
or emulsions of ethereous oils obtained from the vegetables or their stearoptenes or
by mixing the tobacco with the latter or impregnating it with their vapours, all
substantially as set forth.
2nd. In the method of manufacturing tobacco specified in the preceding claim,
mixing the tobacco intimately with finely powdered parts of mentha crispa, mentha
piperita, thymus vulgaris, melissa officinalis or their eucalyptis, all substantially as
set forth.
3rd. In the method of manufacturing tobacco specified in Claim 1 moistening the
tobacco with an alcoholic or ethereous solution or emulsions of oleum menthæ
piperitæ, or oleum menthæ crispa-or oleum menthæ eucalypti or oleum thymi
preferably by means of a sprayer and carefully drying the tobacco for the purpose
of removing the solution or emulsions means of the said oils, all substantially as
set forth.
4th. In a method of manufacturing tobacco as specified in Claim 1 mixing the
menthol, thymol, eucalyptol or stearoptenes of the melissa in a finely powdered
state with the tobacco, all substantially as set forth.
5th. In a method of manufacturing tobacco as specified in Claim 1 moistening
the tobacco with an alcoholic, ethereous or aqueous solution or with an emulsion of
the stearoptenes specified in the preceding claim preferably by means of a sprayer
and carefully drying the tobacco for the purpose of evolving the solution means, all
substantially as set forth.
6th. In a method of manufacturing tobacco as specified in Claim 1 warming the
menthol, thymol, eucalyptol or the stearoptenes of the melissa in closed retorts until
they become volutile and conducting the vapours resulting into chambers or
receivers which contain the tobacco to be impregnated, all substantially as
set forth.
7th. The products obtained by the method specified in the preceding claims.
