Cigarette filling packed body and electronic cigarette cartridge

Abstract

A cigarette filling packed body and an electronic cigarette cartridge provide a filled packing while ensuring excellent airflow within the cigarette filling packed body. Elongated cigarette fillings are packed into a bundle shape with an outer peripheral portion wrapped around by a sheet-shaped packaging body. Each filling is formed such that, in a cross section orthogonal to the a direction, the dimension in the long-side direction is longer than the dimension in the short-side direction. Each of the cigarette fillings in an outermost peripheral portion are in contact with the packaging body and have a long-side direction oriented following the circumferential direction. The cigarette fillings are oriented particularly to enhance air flow.

1 .- 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A cigarette filling aggregate comprising:
 a package that wraps an outer peripheral of a long bundle cigarette filling; and   said long bundle cigarette filing, further comprising:
 a plurality of long rectangular parallelepiped cigarette filings forming a cigarette filling aggregate; 
 a length of each said long rectangular parallelepiped cigarette fillings being equal to a length of said cigarette filling aggregate; and 
 said plurality of long rectangular parallelepiped cigarette filings further comprising:
 a first cigarette filing of said plurality that has a long side surface respectively facing and attached to a lateral circumference inner surface of said package; 
 a second cigarette filing that has a short side surface respectively facing and attached to said lateral circumference inner surface of said package; 
 a third cigarette filling of said plurality that has a long side surface respectively facing and attached to a long side surface at least one of said plurality of long rectangular parallelepiped cigarette fillings; 
 a number of said first cigarette fillings is more than a number of said second cigarette fillings; 
 a majority of said third cigarette fillings that have a long side surface respectively face and are attached to respective long side surfaces thereof adjacent to each other and form a plurality of groups; and 
 wherein said plurality of groups form a plurality of void spaces therebetween that pass through said package in a long direction and form a disposition pattern between said plurality of groups; 
 wherein a porosity of said plurality of void spaces in a central half-section area at a horizontal cross-section of said package is higher than a porosity of said plurality of void spaces in an outer half-section area at said horizontal cross-section; and 
 wherein a central area of said central half area of said plurality of void spaces is configured in a shape effective to receive an inserted heating element of an electric cigarette during an assembly with said inserted heating element. 
 
   
     
     
         9 . The cigarette filling aggregate, according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 said third cigarette filing has said long side surface facing and attaching directly said long side surface of said first filling to form a second outmost array to cover a most inner surface area of said first filling.   
     
     
         10 . The cigarette filling aggregate, according to  claim 8 , wherein:
 said rectangular long parallelepiped cigarette filling further comprises:
 a non-tobacco plant product. 
   
     
     
         11 . An electronic cigarette cartridge comprising:
 said cigarette filling aggregate according to  claims 8 ; and   a support member that is adjacent to said rectangular long parallelepiped cigarette filling in respective long directions; and   a mouthpiece;   wherein, during a use an air flows along said long direction inside said package.   
     
     
         12 . The electronic cigarette cartridge, according to  claim 11 , wherein:
 said support member, further comprises:
 as least a support portion that is in place in an outermost peripheral portion of said package; and 
 wherein said support portion is adjacent to said long side surface of said first cigarette filling.
