Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ready-to-use system for the self-manufacture of cigarettes by the consumer.
  • the press chamber is delimited by a tobacco ejection slide, by means of which the tobacco rod can be transferred from the press chamber into the cigarette tube (see, for example, DE-A-2833681; DE-C-2139242, DE-C-2064641 or DE- A-3135700; see also FR-C-393850).
  • a half-shell-shaped spoon can be attached to the effective end of the ejection slide, which supports the transfer of the tobacco rod from the pressing chamber into the cigarette tube while maintaining the stability of the same.
  • the relative movement of the piston acting axially on the tobacco rod with respect to the casing must not be impeded, which is done, for example, by initially compressing the tobacco in the cartridge when the piston is inserted.
  • the cover regularly consists of flexible material, which also has no crush resistance. It is therefore easy for the covering to wrinkle or even tear open and / or for the blocking movement of the ejection movement in the covering during the transfer process.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving the transfer device in such a way that, despite simple operation, it makes the (tobacco rod) casing of the tobacco cartridge manageable by better inserting the piston into the tobacco cartridge.
  • the transfer device is first coupled to the tobacco cartridge, and only then does the tobacco displacement begin.
  • the transfer device of the rest of the same system for self-manufacturing of cigarettes by the consumer consists of a loose, free-hand-handled rod-shaped piston, on which a sliding sleeve is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, which on its one, that for ejecting the tobacco rod from the Sheath in the front end of the plunger serving the cigarette paper sleeve and which can be pushed beyond this end end is designed as an insert.
  • the sliding sleeve can be inserted with its insertion end into the casing of the tobacco cartridge, where it braces it and forms a fixed abutment for holding the casing during the transfer process.
  • the subsequent piston movement is not hindered, and the covering is only subjected to tension during the transfer process due to the frictional forces that occur, which can also be easily expected from light, flexible covering material.
  • auxiliary packaging 18 tobacco cartridge filled with tobacco 16 onto the plug-in spout 12 and, on the other hand, prevents the latter from slipping off undesirably.
  • the auxiliary packaging 18 is designed in the manner of a cigarette tube and consists of a material which is not intended and not suitable for smoking, e.g.
  • the outside diameter of the auxiliary packaging 18 is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of a filter cigarette tube 14, so that the tobacco cartridge can be inserted into the cigarette paper tube 14 without any problems.
  • the auxiliary packaging 18 is dimensioned such that an end section 11 protrudes from the cigarette paper tube, the length of which corresponds approximately to a finger width or the effective length of the insert 12.
  • the inside diameter of the auxiliary packaging 18 is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the insert 12, so that the auxiliary packaging filled with tobacco can be attached to the insert 12, the attachment being facilitated by the measures described in connection with FIG. 2.
  • the tobacco supply 16 is transferred from the auxiliary packaging 18 into the cigarette paper tube 14 by holding the protruding end section 11 of the auxiliary packaging 18 between two fingers and pushing it to the right in FIG. 1 over the pot-shaped insert 12 on the piston 28.
  • the tobacco supply 16 is supported on the bottom surface 13 of the insert 12, so that the tobacco or tobacco rod 16 is pressed out of the auxiliary packaging 18 and inserted into the cigarette paper tube 14.
  • a mounting sleeve 10 for inserting auxiliary packaging 18 filled with tobacco and cigarette paper sleeve 14 into each other is preferably formed on the end of the piston 28 facing away from the insertion sleeve 12, one end of the mounting sleeve 40 being provided with a holding socket 42 for the cigarette paper sleeve 14.
  • the insertion opening 44 opposite the holding connection 42 for the auxiliary packaging 18 filled with tobacco is widened somewhat, namely chamfered. This enables the auxiliary packaging filled with tobacco to be inserted easily into the cigarette paper tube.
  • the passage 45 of the mounting sleeve 40, through which the auxiliary packaging filled with tobacco is pushed can be of slightly conical design - converging towards the holding socket 42.
  • the piston 28, including the plug-in socket 12 and the mounting sleeve 40, which is not a necessary component of the transfer device described, has a total length of approximately 80 to 120 mm, and thus has the dimensions of a small to medium-sized pocket comb. This device can be stored in the jacket pocket or the like without any problems.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show a transfer device, in which a round piston 126, for example made of plastic, is axially displaceably guided in a sliding sleeve 115, for example made of metal.
  • the diameter d of the round-bottomed piston 126 at its effective end 125 is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical envelope of the tobacco cartridge (not shown).
  • the diameter ratios are selected (the device is shown on an enlarged scale in the drawing) such that the spout section 112, which is slightly tapered towards the coupling end 106 of the sliding sleeve 115, can be inserted into the cylindrical casing of the tobacco cartridge over part of its axial length.
  • a thickened handle 109 is formed on the round piston 126.
  • this grip piece 109 there is an essentially conical recess 136 aligned with the axis 122, with the aid of which the aforementioned “sharpening” of the tobacco cartridge before it is inserted on the cigarette paper tube can be facilitated.
  • a kind of "blowpipe” version is also conceivable, i.e. a round rod with a continuous longitudinal bore approximately in the area of the longitudinal central axis.
  • the tobacco supply from the auxiliary packaging 18 is literally “shot” or “blown” into the cigarette paper tube 14 by means of air pressed through the longitudinal bore.
  • the round rod can be coupled at its end opposite the coupling end to a mouthpiece for facilitating “mouth blowing” or to a piston-cylinder unit that generates compressed air blows, which can be an integral part of the round rod.
