Description

The The invention relates to a stuffing device for self-production of Cigarettes by transferring a Tobacco insert from a tubular Fine cut partial packing of non-smokable material in a cigarette paper tube.

The Self-production of cigarettes is because of the achievable thereby Savings among smokers widespread. In the simplest case the smoker uses loose tobacco and cigarette paper, around with your hands a cigarette "too turn around. "To be smokable and reasonably To be able to produce sizable cigarettes in this way requires it some finger skills.

It are therefore cigarette wrappers in a variety of embodiments known in which the winding process - the "turning" - by a tape circulating in an endless loop is taken over.

Furthermore It is known in the self-production of a cigarette prefabricated filter sleeve to serve, in which then loose tobacco is filled. To the filling process To simplify stuffing devices various embodiments known. They usually comprise one formed by a cylindrical pipe socket Tobacco receiving chamber into which the loose tobacco is introduced. Of the outer diameter the pipe socket is adapted to the inner diameter of the cigarette tube. To fill the cigarette tube then this is over pushed the pipe socket and the tobacco from the filter facing End of the pipe socket with simultaneous outward displacement the filter sleeve in filled this.

adversely with this procedure, it takes some practice; until the so homemade cigarettes a consistently high quality aufwei sen, with those of machine-made cigarettes can be compared.

Around the quality It is further to improve the stuffed cigarettes become known, tobacco subsyscribe packages to the market bring out of a tobacco rod in a tubular sleeve thin There is cigarette paper. The outer diameter of this sleeve is such that they in a filter cigarette sleeve insertable is.

Though It is quite simple with these subset packages, cigarettes consistent quality without tools to manufacture itself, however, is disadvantageous that by the additional compared to a machine-made cigarette wrapping the tobacco insert of cigarette paper the smoked paper portion rises, which adversely affects the taste and the pollutant content of Cigarette affects. In addition, today tobacco subset packaging with a cladding, who can be smoked in, how finished cigarettes are taxed, So that the with the self-production of cigarettes achievable in this way Savings are low.

It Therefore, a system for the self-production of cigarettes was developed, in which a tobacco insert from a tubular fine-cut partial packing is transferred from nichtrauchbarem material in a cigarette paper tube. This system has the advantage of saving costs can, because such tobacco bulk packs are not like cigarettes, but taxed as loose tobacco. On the other hand, the machined tobacco subset packaging the ability to Produce cigarettes of consistent quality in self-production to be able to. Finally differentiates the proportion of paper to be doused does not mechanically match that of the paper produced cigarettes.

In order to introduce the tobacco insert from the partial packing of non-usable material in the cigarette paper tube, is from the DE 101 29 260 C1 a stuffing device is known, which consists of a tubular sleeve having a coupling end on which a free end portion of the subset package is pushed and held. Axially displaceable in the sleeve, an ejection piston is provided, with which the tobacco inlay from the subset packaging is filled into a prepacked over the subset packaging cigarette paper tube slipping it from the subset packaging.

adversely is in this device that sticking the free end portion of the subset package at the coupling end and the postponement of the cigarette tube is difficult.

Of the The invention is therefore based on the object, a stuffing device for the self-production of cigarettes, their handling is simplified.

This object is achieved by the reproduced in claim 1 Stopfvorrichtung. It comprises a base part on which a holding device is provided for holding one end of the partial packing and a displaceable in the longitudinal direction relative to the holding means ejection piston. According to the invention, the base part comprises a recess extending forwards from the holding device for receiving the partial quantity packaging and / or the cigarette paper tube. This embodiment has the advantage that the subset packaging and / or the Zi garettenpapierhülse rest during the entire Stopfvorganges, so that a permanent actuation of the holding device is not required. Furthermore, a device for conizing an end of a subset pack located in the trough is provided on the base part. This has the advantage that it is easier to postpone the cigarette tube after performing the conization on the subset packaging. In particular, it is avoided that not quite exact approach the sleeve paper "crumpled" in the end, whereby the sleeve can be unusable.

at a preferred embodiment the stuffing device according to the invention At one end region of the base part is a bearing for length-displaceable Storage of the ejection piston intended.

The Holding device for holding the one end of the subset packaging comprises preferably a discharge piston concentrically surrounding pipe socket whose outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the partial packing. The partial quantity packaging can be postponed to the pipe socket by the tobacco the auszuschiebenden end is slightly compressed.

To the Holding the partial packing in the pushed onto the pipe socket Position is a clamping device, by means of which the subset packaging can be clamped to the pipe socket.

The Clamping device comprises preferably at least one manually operable jaw, by means of which the subset packaging at least over part of its scope radially clamped against the pipe socket.

Especially preferred is an embodiment the stuffing device according to the invention, in which two jaws are provided. These are then preferred arranged so that they from each other Sides approximately radially against the pushed onto the pipe socket Part of the subset packaging act.

The Device for conizing an end of the subset packaging is preferably at the end region opposite the bearing Base part provided.

is they further - like particularly preferred - on a support member arranged around a parallel to the longitudinal axis the ejection piston extending axis is pivotally mounted on the base part, so It can optionally in front of the facing end of the in the Mulde partial packing for the purpose of performing the Konisierungsvor ganges shifted or pushing the sleeve in a this releasing position to be pivoted.

at a particularly preferred embodiment the support part and the device for the conization are designed such that she around an angle of about 60 ° the axis are pivotable.

Especially preferred is a development of the stuffing device according to the invention, in which is provided on the support member a trough, the shape of which the trough of the base part approximately corresponds and arranged in such a way is, that you in the extreme position, in which the end of the subset packaging released by the institution for conization, a sequel the trough of the base part forms.

• – zunächst wird das Tragteil in Richtung der Achse soweit von dem Basisteil fortverlagert, daß eine Teilmengenverpackung in die Mulde eingelegt werden kann.
• – Es wird nun das Tragteil in die Extremstellung gebracht, in der die Einrichtung zur Konisierung das zugewandte Ende der Teilmengenverpackung überdeckt.
• – Nun wird das Tragteil in Richtung der Achse auf das Basisteil zugeschoben, bis die Einrichtung zur Konisierung mit dem zugewandten Ende der Teilmengenverpackung in Anlage kommt.
• – Beim weiteren Verschieben erfolgt zugleich die Konisierung und ein Aufschieben des anderen Endes der Teilmengenverpackung auf den Rohransatz, an dem es mittels der Halteeinrichtung fixiert wird.
• – Anschließend wird das Tragteil wieder zurückverlagert und in seine das nun konisierte Ende der Teilmengenverpackung freigebende Position verlagert.
• – Vom konisierten Ende der Teilmengenverpackung wird dann die Hülse aufgeschoben, wobei die Mulde des Tragteils als Führung der Hülse dient.
• – Anschließend wird der Ausstoßkolben betätigt, so daß der Tabak aus der Teilmengenverpackung in die Hülse unter Ableiten der selben von der Teilmengenverpackung eingefüllt wird.

Particularly preferred because of the particularly good handling is an embodiment of the stuffing device according to the invention, in which the support member is slidably mounted in the direction of the axis on the base part. If, in addition, the outer circumference of the carrying part is designed to be grip-like, the stuffing process can be carried out reliably and particularly simply in the following way:

• - First, the support member in the direction of the axis is moved away from the base so far that a partial packing can be inserted into the trough.
• - It is now the support member brought into the extreme position, in which the device for conizing covers the facing end of the subset packaging.
• - Now, the support member is pushed in the direction of the axis on the base member until the device comes into conformation with the facing end of the subset packaging.
• - Upon further movement takes place at the same time the conization and a postponement of the other end of the subset packaging on the pipe socket, where it is fixed by means of the holding device.
• - Subsequently, the support member is moved back again and shifted in his now konkonisierte end of the partial packaging releasing position.
• - From the conical end of the partial packing then the sleeve is pushed, the trough of the support member serves as a guide of the sleeve.
• - Then the ejection piston is actuated, so that the tobacco is filled from the subset packaging in the sleeve while deriving the same of the subset packaging.

The handling of the invention Stopfvorrichtung simplifies again when it is designed as a tabletop device for use on a flat surface. It therefore preferably comprises a flat underside, which - particularly preferably - is formed by a rubber-elastic material in order to avoid damage to the pad and to increase the skid resistance.
