John Joseph Tomel, Jr. is an inventor based in Mocksville, NC, in the United States. He has obtained a total of 5 patents, with his latest patents focusing on wrapping materials for smoking articles.

Tomel's recent inventions revolve around manufacturing smokable rods of cigarettes using wrapping materials that incorporate fibrous materials such as flax fibers, hardwood pulp fibers, and softwood pulp fibers. These wrapping materials possess multi-layer coatings in the form of spaced apart bands with a series of layers.

One notable aspect of Tomel's wrapping materials is that at least one of the coating layers contains a filler material dispersed or suspended within a film-forming material. The filler material used is often calcium carbonate in particulate form. The incorporation of different materials in the coatings enhances the overall quality and smoking experience of cigarettes.

For a representative wrapping material, a specific pattern of layers is applied to the wire side major surface of the wrapping material substrate. In one of the layers, ethylcellulose and calcium carbonate are used, with the calcium carbonate being present in greater amounts than the ethylcellulose, on a weight basis. These materials are typically applied using a non-aqueous formulation that includes iso-propyl acetate, triacetin, and lecithin.

John Joseph Tomel, Jr. is associated with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, where he works alongside coworkers such as Paul Stuart Chapman and Sara Sutton Williard.
