Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tobacco cartridge suitable for the self-production of cigarettes from an elongated, essentially cylindrical tobacco rod and a jacket-shaped, frontally open casing made of a material, the type, consistency and / or treatment of which makes the tobacco cartridge usable but not tractive, the casing becoming detached continues at a front end in a hollow cylinder section, at which the wrapping can be gripped during the transfer of the tobacco rod into a cigarette paper tube.
  • the invention further relates to a device for transferring the tobacco rod, in particular from such a tobacco cartridge into a cigarette paper tube sealed at one end by a filter, with a rod-shaped abutment for the tobacco rod, the outside diameter of which is somewhat smaller than the inside diameter of the casing (and of the hollow cylinder section) and has at least the same length as the overall length of the wrapper, and with a stop coaxial with the abutment for the filter of the cigarette paper tube at a defined distance from the abutment corresponding to the total length of the cigarette paper tube.
  • Both the tobacco cartridge described above and the device described above are known from EP-OS 387 040.
  • the hollow cylinder section on the wrapping of the tobacco cartridge facilitates the ejection of the tobacco rod from the wrapper because the plunger required for this can be inserted into the hollow cylinder section without first having to displace and inevitably compress a part of the tobacco rod.
  • that plunger is the abutment of a device into which a cigarette paper sleeve with a tobacco cartridge inserted into its tobacco-receiving space is inserted, in order to then pull the wrapping of the tobacco cartridge over the abutment, so that the tobacco rod of the tobacco cartridge subsequently enters the tobacco-receiving space Fills out the cigarette paper tube.
  • FIG. 5 shows a conventional tobacco cartridge with associated cigarette paper tube and an associated transfer device US Pat. No. 3,822,710 shows that the nested unit of cigarette paper tube and axially over this protruding tobacco cartridge must first be pushed so far over the abutment that - with local compression of the tobacco rod - the protruding part of the tobacco cartridge wrapping is freed of tobacco and the wrapping there for the purpose of pulling it out axially can be taken.
  • the axial compression of the tobacco rod is disadvantageous because it adversely changes the resulting self-made smokable cigarette compared to an overall factory-made cigarette.
  • the device for transferring the tobacco rod into the cigarette paper tube can be aligned in such a way that the abutment is inserted into the hollow cylinder section without any problem and (initially) lies force-free on the end face of the tobacco rod.
  • the aligned relative position between the cigarette paper tube and the tobacco rod is retained, because the cigarette paper tube with its filter section rests against the stop of the device and can be held there in this defined position, so that when the wrapper is pulled out, the cigarette paper tube is not subjected to friction entry.
  • the abutment prevents the tobacco rod from being dragged inside.
  • the transfer device known from EP-OS 387 040 has an axially displaceable carriage on which the combination formed from cigarette paper tube and tobacco cartridge is held so that it is coaxial with the rod-shaped abutment is aligned. The carriage is then moved in the axial direction until it lies against a stop. In this position, the abutment has penetrated the hollow cylinder section and lies (theoretically without force) on the end face of the tobacco rod of the tobacco cartridge.
  • a sleeve is longitudinally displaceable on the rod-shaped abutment and has at least partially penetrated into the hollow cylinder section; the hollow cylinder section can now be pressed against this sleeve with the fingers and can be pulled out of the cigarette paper sleeve with the covering by axially displacing the sleeve away from the cigarette paper tube.
  • the transmission device requires several parts which are movable relative to one another, namely not only the slide which holds the combination of cigarette paper tube and tobacco cartridge, but also the tube which surrounds the rod-shaped abutment, which is absolutely necessary for stiffening the - as stated - soft and crease-resistant tube.
  • the invention aims to overcome these problems.
  • the hollow cylinder section consists of a tube material of relatively great rigidity. This can be plastic, such as is used for the production of artificial straws. In addition to rigidity, such a material also has sufficient elasticity to return to its original position even in the event of a certain compression.
  • the transfer device described above is characterized in that the rod-shaped abutment is held vertically in a stand and the stop is arranged on a bracket which laterally overlaps the rod-shaped abutment and which is also fastened to the stand. Neither a sliding carriage is required for the assembled combination of cigarette paper tube and tobacco cartridge, nor a sleeve that can be moved on the abutment rod in order to move the hollow cylinder section along the abutment rod and thereby pull out the wrapping of the tobacco cartridge.
  • the hollow cylinder section has a low coefficient of friction on the inside.
  • a high coefficient of friction on the outside of the hollow cylinder section can improve the frictional engagement with the actuating fingers.
  • Fig. 1 shows (drawn interrupted) a cigarette paper tube 1 with a filter section 2 and a tobacco receiving space 3.
  • a tobacco cartridge designated as a whole with 4
  • a tobacco cartridge designated as a whole with 4
  • a tubular hollow cylinder section 7 which is attached to the casing 5 along an edge region 8 along the end 9 of the tobacco cartridge.
  • the tobacco rod 6 lies against the filter section 2 of the cigarette paper tube 1.
  • the hollow cylinder section 7 consists of a thin but inherently rigid material, for example a plastic film with a correspondingly high modulus of elasticity. This ensures that neither a random radial pressure on the hollow cylinder section 7 leads to the buckling thereof, and that when the tobacco cartridge 4 is gripped on the hollow cylinder section 7, its collapse occurs.
  • the length a of the hollow cylinder section 7 is equal to that of the filter section 2, so that the cigarette paper tube 1 is just as long as the tobacco cartridge 4 (dimension b), which possibly enables a similar packaging.
  • the hollow cylinder section 7 is fastened to the casing 5 of the tobacco cartridge 4 by means of a (very thin) covering paper 7b, which is wrapped around the hollow cylinder section 7 and a peripheral edge section 7c of the casing with the aid of relevant techniques and is fastened to both.
  • the device shown in Figs. 2 and 3 for transferring the tobacco rod from a tobacco cartridge - such as the one shown in Fig. 1 - in the cigarette paper sleeve also shown there has a rod-shaped abutment 11 in the form of a smooth cylindrical rod, which is arranged vertically and with its lower end in a correspondingly shaped, substantially laterally parallel to the abutment 11 bracket 12 is fixed at 13.
  • the bracket 12 for its part is detachably held at the bottom in a stand 14 which essentially consists of a base plate extending perpendicular to the plate-shaped bracket 12.
  • the length c of the abutment rod 11 is at least equal to the common length b of the tobacco cartridge casing 5 and the hollow cylinder section 7.
  • the bracket 12 projects beyond the abutment 11 with a section 15.
  • a lying U-shaped recess 16 is provided, into which the free end of the filter section 2 of a cigarette paper tube 1 is inserted when the device is used.
  • a system 17 is provided which is inclined towards the horizontal (and the central axis) for the purpose of easier insertion of the filter into the system 16. The axial distance from the lowest point of the system 17 (and the recess 16) to the end face 18 of the abutment 11 is equal to the length b of the cigarette paper tube.
  • an assembled combination of cigarette paper tube and tobacco cartridge such as that shown in FIG. 1, is placed obliquely from above onto the rod-shaped abutment 11, the upper free end of which penetrates into the hollow cylindrical section 7.
  • the end face 18 of the abutment 11 bears against the end face 9 of the tobacco rod 6 when the free (smoker side) end of the filter section 2 of the cigarette paper tube 1 is inserted into the U-shaped cutout 16 on the section 15 of the bracket 12.
  • Pulling out the tobacco cartridge casing 5 with the aid of the hollow cylinder section 7 is facilitated if the latter is provided on the inside with a coating 7a which reduces the coefficient of friction, because then, despite pressure from the outside against the abutment rod 11 (by the operator's fingers), only a slight frictional force counteracts .
  • your fingers will slide off the outside of the hollow cylinder section 7 is prevented by the covering paper 7b or a coating that increases the coefficient of friction with respect to the fingers; also mechanical roughening or the like. the outside comes into consideration.
  • the bracket 12 here consists of the parts 12a and 12b which are connected to one another by means of a joint 20; the hinge axis 21 extends transversely (and laterally offset) to the main axis of the abutment 11.
  • the bracket parts 12a, b can be pivoted through 180 ° from their working position shown in FIGS. 4, 5, so that they then lie side by side and take up less space .
  • Complementary locking lugs 22 ensure the correct relative position of the parts 12a, b of the bracket 12 to one another in the (illustrated) operating position; a similar detent can also be provided for the folded position.
  • the rod-shaped abutment 11 has the circular cylindrical basic cross section only over a short section of its length (at the free end); Longitudinal millings are provided over the rest of the length, which reduce the material requirement and the weight.
  • a stand corresponding to the base plate 14 of the first exemplary embodiment is not provided here.
  • the device can be placed on the foot section 23 of the bracket 12, but can also be used lying rotated through 90 °, the parts 12a, b or the like on a table top. lie on.
  • the transfer device can consist of any suitable material, namely plastic, but also cardboard.
