A smoking article filter includes a recess to receive a filter insert unit. The filter insert unit is secured to the filter once inserted. The filter and the filter insert unit may include additives such as flavourants, colourants or sorbents.

Smoking article filter and insertable filter unit therefor

A smoking article filter () comprises a recess () to receive a filter insert unit (). The filter insert unit () is secured to the filter () once inserted. The filter () and the filter insert unit () may comprise additives such as flavourants, colourants or sorbents.

A sleeve () for holding a plurality of elongate elements () positioned in end-to-end relationship is disclosed. The sleeve has an elongate body () with opposite ends () and a space () defined therebetween to receive the elongate elements (). The elongate body has an opening () between the ends () that is configured to enable a user to contact elongate elements () received in the sleeve () through the opening () and push them along, and out of one end of the sleeve ().

A smoking article comprises a first part and a second part movable relative to the first part. A control mechanism comprises a first control surface on one of the first part or second part; and a second control surface on the other of the first and second parts. The second control surface is configured to engage with the first control surface to control relative rotation between the first part and second part.

Smoking article and method of manufacturing a smoking article

A portable device comprises a motor for providing vibration, a power source for powering the motor, a switching device for controlling the direction of the motor, propelling means for engaging a surface and for propelling the device when the motor is vibrating, the propelling means extending downwardly at an angle to the vertical, and an input device connected to the switching device, the switching device arranged to switch the direction of the motor when the input device receives a predetermined signal. Advantageously, the propelling means comprise a set of bristles. By using angled bristles, this increases friction in the backwards direction and so causes the device to move forwards when vibrating. The bristles dig into surface when vibration tries to move the object backwards, and the bristles slide over surface when vibration tries to move object forwards.
