Abstract

The invention relates to a device for home production of cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes, from a tobacco cuboid (1) as a starting material, with a tobacco cuboid receiving area (3), a separating device (4) for separating a tobacco portion from the tobacco cuboid (1), a strand forming device (5, 7, 15, 16, 18) for forming a strand-like tobacco portion (11) and with a conveying device for conveying the formed tobacco portion (11) into a cigarette tube (22). It further relates to a system, a method and a tobacco cuboid for home production of cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes.

2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the separating device and the strand forming device comprise a concave, in particular semi-circular, forming receiving area (16) which comprises at least one, in particular two, lateral separating edge(s) (4) for separating the tobacco portion (11) from the cuboid (1).
3. Device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the strand forming device comprises a tobacco portion receiving area (7), in which the formed tobacco portion (11) lies horizontally and from which the tobacco portion (11) is conveyed into the cigarette tube.
4. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 3, wherein the tobacco cuboid receiving area comprises a support (3) or a guide for the tobacco cuboid (1) and in particular an end-face portioning stop (9) is provided for the tobacco cuboid (1).
5. Device according to claim 4, wherein the separating device has a cutting die (5), in particular being guided, which separates a tobacco portion from the cuboid (1) and pushes it into the tobacco portion receiving area (7).
6. Device according to claim 4, wherein the separating device comprises a clamping mechanism (13) which engages around the tobacco portion to be separated from the outside and forces it away.
7. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 3, wherein the separating device and the strand forming device comprise two forming wheels (15) which are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, and comprise on the outer periphery sets of concave forming means (16) with separating edges (4), arranged one after the other, whereby with counter rotation of the forming wheels (15) a set of forming means (16) of one forming wheel (15) cooperates with a corresponding set of forming means (16) of the other forming wheel (15), separates a tobacco portion and transports it to a tobacco portion receiving area (7).
8. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 3, wherein the separating device and the strand forming device comprise a forming wheel (15) and an inner housing wall (18) of a forming wheel housing (20), whereby sets of concave forming means (16) with separating edges (4) are arranged one after the other on the outer periphery of the forming wheel (15), and whereby upon rotation of the forming wheel (15) in the housing (20) forming means (16) of the forming wheel (15) cooperate with the inner housing wall (18) and separate a tobacco portion and transport it to a tobacco portion receiving area (7).
9. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 3, which comprises a plurality of separating devices and strand forming devices in order to produce a plurality of tobacco portions (11) from a complete tobacco cuboid (1).
10. Device according to claim 9, wherein the separating devices and the strand forming devices are arranged in part on sides, facing each other, of two device halves (17) or forming halves (17) which are brought together in order to form the tobacco portions (11).
11. Device according to claim 9 or 10, wherein the forming halves (17) are connected to each other by a joint (19) at one side and folded together.
12. Device according to claim 9 or 10, wherein the forming halves are orientated essentially parallel to each other upon being brought together.
13. Device according to one of the claims 9 to 12, wherein the tobacco portion receiving areas (7) are arranged on one forming half and the concave forming means (16) and separating edges (4) are arranged on the other forming half.
14. Device according to one of the claims 9 to 12, wherein the tobacco portion receiving areas (7) and concave forming means (16) and separating edges (4) are arranged on the two forming halves, and indeed in an alternating way on a forming half and offset relative to each other in relation to the two forming halves.
15. Device according to claim 14, wherein the tobacco portion receiving areas (7) offset relative to each other, concave forming means (16) and separating edges (4) are arranged in an alternating way, one in the upper forming half, and then one in the lower forming half.
16. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 15, wherein one, in particular hand operated, slide element (21) is provided for conveying the formed tobacco portion (11) into cigarette tubes (22).
17. Device according to one of the claims 1 to 16, wherein means are provided which cause a change in the tobacco stuffing density of the tobacco strand (11) upon conveying of the formed tobacco portion (11), in particular cross-section changes or surface adaptations in the tobacco portion receiving area (7).
18. Method for home production of cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes, from a tobacco cuboid (1) as a starting material, wherein the tobacco cuboid is arranged on or in a tobacco cuboid receiving area (3), a tobacco portion is separated from the tobacco cuboid (1) with a separating device (4) and is fed to a strand forming device (5, 7, 15, 16, 18) for forming a strand-like tobacco portion (11) and wherein the formed tobacco portion (11) is conveyed into a cigarette tube (22) with a conveying device.
19. Method according to claim 18, wherein the cigarette is produced by means of a device according to one of the claims 2 to 17.
20. System for home production of cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes, with a device according to one of the claims 1 to 17, and with a tobacco cuboid (1) which comprises a quantity of tobacco for several tobacco portions, whereby each tobacco portion is suitable for producing a cigarette.
