Definitions
- the invention relates to a cigarette turning device for preferably manually rotating and compressing tobacco rolls for cigarettes with two rotatable rolls spaced apart by less than the diameter of the tobacco roll to be produced, the axes of which run parallel to one another, one of which rolls or displaces relative to the other is pivotable and runs over an endless belt, the length of which exceeds the circumference of the roller system by approximately twice the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced and the width of which corresponds to the length of the rollers, the belt being frictionally applied to the rollers under tension.
- cigarette smokers prefer not to consume industrially manufactured cigarettes for taste, cost or other reasons, but to shape the loose tobacco into a roll and to add a cover sheet and, if necessary, a filter to a cigarette. Since the formation of the roll requires great skill and inexperienced people in particular often do not achieve the desired shape, cigarette rolling devices are widely used which facilitate the manual rotation of the tobacco rolls.
- the usual cigarette turning devices consist of two axially parallel, rotatable rollers which correspond in length and preferably also in diameter to the cigarette to be shaped.
- a belt runs over both rollers, for example made of a flexible plastic or leather, the width of which corresponds to the length of the rollers and the ends of which are either free or connected to one another in such a way that an endless belt is formed which surrounds both rollers.
- the length of the endless belt exceeds the circumference of the roller system approximately in the range between 1.5 and 2 times the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced, the belt length being adapted to the arrangement of the rolls, specifically their circumference and minimum distance.
- Such a device is described for example in DE-B-2 23 52 211.
- the device works as follows. Due to the length of the belt, an indentation can be introduced into its course between the rollers, into which the tobacco to be rotated is introduced, if necessary after a filter has been inserted beforehand. At least one of the rollers is displaceable in the direction away from the other roller, for example in an elongated hole, or is pivotably fastened on a lever, so that the base of the indentation can be narrowed and the tobacco can be largely enclosed.
- An endless belt is stretched taut due to its limited length and therefore runs frictionally over the rollers, with the result that when a train on the belt or the rotation of one roller also the other roller and the enclosed tobacco are set in rotation.
- both rollers and the tobacco enclosed between them correspond to deflection rollers around which the belt runs under tension.
- a roll is rotated, consolidated and compacted, the shape of which is precisely determined by the dimensions of the rotating device.
- the tobacco is prevented from falling out by the wall of the housing of the device which is directly adjacent to the ends of the rollers and is generally made of sheet metal.
- the tobacco roll is provided with a cover sheet, for example by guiding it between the belt and the tobacco roll towards the end of the turning process.
- rotary devices customary in the prior art can only be used for the production of cylindrical cigarettes.
- many smokers prefer cigarettes with a conical shape towards the mouthpiece in order to increase the amount of tobacco and to extend the burning time.
- a conical shape of the cigarette is also advantageous for health reasons, since the glowing area of the cigarette, and thus the place where harmful harmful substances are produced, is at a greater distance from the mouthpiece over a longer portion of the burning period. This significantly extends the path of inhaled smoke through the tobacco column, and a larger proportion of the pollutants is filtered out.
- FR-A-1 2 558 042 Another cigarette rolling device is known from FR-A-1 2 558 042. It has a housing in which two conical or frustoconical rollers are arranged, over which a band is guided, so that a pocket is formed. With such an arrangement, conical cigarette or tobacco rolls should be able to be produced. However, it has been shown that such a device is difficult to handle and does not provide satisfactory results with regard to the taper of the tobacco rolls.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a cigarette rolling device with which easy to handle and with good results conical tobacco rolls can be produced.
- the above object is achieved, starting from a cigarette turning device, as is known for example from DE-B-2 23 52 211, in that the length of the endless belt parallel to the axes of the rollers increases continuously.
- a band of the device designed according to the invention preferably has an approximately cylinder jacket to trapezoidal shape in the separated state. Conversely, it can be made by connecting the sides of an approximately cylindrical or trapezoidal piece of flexible material, which run at an angle to the mutually parallel edges.
- the circumference of the endless belt is still approximately the sum of the circumference of the roller system and twice the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced. However, the latter now takes place parallel to the axes of rotation of the rollers continuously in one direction, in particular linearly, to. If the belt is otherwise stretched over both rollers, an indentation is created between them, the depth of which increases in a direction parallel to the axes.
- this indentation is filled in a conventional manner with tobacco, the rollers are moved towards one another in an elongated hole or a hinge, and the belt is set in motion, a roll of the desired, conical shape is thus created.
- a frictional belt path over the rollers which is created by the elastically compressed tobacco pulling the preferably also elastic bath against the roller surface. This ensures that when the rollers are rotated, which can also be done by a drive or a crank, the length of the strip which is fed into and removed from the indentation is the same on both edges of a roller. In this way, an inclined position of the belt is avoided and the different length of the indentation along the roller axes is maintained.
- the advantageous consequence is a safe function of the device in the desired manner.
- the essential feature of the above-described method for rotating and compacting a conical tobacco roll, in deviation from the manufacture of a cylindrical roll, is that the depth of the indentation in the band increases continuously in one direction parallel to the roll axes. Furthermore, a frictional fixation of the belt on the rollers is required before both are set in motion so that the different length of the indentation along the axis is maintained during the turning process. If these requirements are ensured, the method can also be carried out with devices which differ in their construction from the embodiment described above. For example, it is conceivable to use a rotating device with an open-ended belt, the frictional engagement being achievable by pressure rollers acting against the rollers. An alternative is the form fit between gear-like rollers and an elastic toothed belt interacting with them as a band.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a cigarette turning device, with parts of the housing 1 and the cover 2 being omitted.
- the device consists in its basic structure of two rollers 3, 4, which are each rotatable about an axis 5, 6 and over which an endless belt 7 runs, the length of which exceeds the common circumference of both rollers 3, 4, so that one between them Indentation 8 can be introduced.
- the right roller 4 is attached with its axis of rotation 6 not directly to the housing 1, but to a lever 9, which in turn is pivotable about the axis of rotation 10.
- the cover 2 is fastened to the lever 9, the purpose of which is, in particular, to provide the user with a suitable handle on the component which is only a few centimeters in size in accordance with a cigarette length.
- the lever 9 pivots upward, so that the distance between the rollers 3, 4 increases and the indentation 8 between them is easily accessible. It is filled with tobacco, if necessary after inserting a filter, and the rollers 3, 4 are subsequently brought together again by pivoting the cover 2 and lever 9. Due to the encompassing of the tobacco 11, the belt 7, which is made of, for example, fabric-reinforced plastic, is pulled frictionally over the rollers 3, 4. By rotating the freely accessible area of the belt 7 running over the roller 4, the two rollers 3, 4 and the enclosed tobacco 11 are thus set in rotation. The tension of the tape causes a firm, sufficiently dense roll of tobacco of a given shape to arise during this process.
- Figure 2 shows a vertical section through the device in the region of the shaped roll of tobacco 11. It can be seen that the depth of the indentation 8 increases linearly along the axis 5 of the roller 3, as can be achieved, for example, by two edges of one approximately trapezoidal strips of material are connected to form an endless band. As a result, a roll of the desired conical shape.
- the frictional course of the belt 7 ensures that the removal and tracking of the belt 7 from the indentation 8 is the same along the entire length of the rollers 3, 4, so that the differences in the depth of the indentation 8 are retained. However, this does not necessarily mean that their average length remains constant, which rather generally decreases slightly as the tobacco 11 is gradually compressed.
- a cigarette rolling device is described with which conical cigarettes can be rotated in a simple manner, preferably by hand.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zigarettendrehvorrichtung zum vorzugsweise manuellen Drehen und Verdichten von Tabakrollen für Zigaretten mit zwei, um weniger als den Durchmesser der herzustellenden Tabakrolle beabstandeten, drehbaren Walzen, deren Achsen parallel zueinander verlaufen, von denen eine Walze relativ zur anderen Walze verschieb- oder verschwenkbar ist und über ein endloses Band verläuft, dessen Länge den Umfang des Walzensystems etwa um den doppelten Umfang der herzuzstellenden Tabakrolle übersteigt und dessen Breite mit der Länge der Walzen übereinstimmt, wobei das Band unter Zug reibschlüssig an den Walzen anliegt.The invention relates to a cigarette turning device for preferably manually rotating and compressing tobacco rolls for cigarettes with two rotatable rolls spaced apart by less than the diameter of the tobacco roll to be produced, the axes of which run parallel to one another, one of which rolls or displaces relative to the other is pivotable and runs over an endless belt, the length of which exceeds the circumference of the roller system by approximately twice the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced and the width of which corresponds to the length of the rollers, the belt being frictionally applied to the rollers under tension.
Ein Teil der Zigarettenraucher zieht es aus geschmacklichen, Kosten- oder sonstigen Gründen vor, keine industriell gefertigen Zigaretten zu konsumieren, sondern den losen Tabak selber zu einer Rolle zu formen und mit einem Deckblatt sowie gegebenenfalls einem Filter zu einer Zigarette zu ergänzen. Da die Formung der Rolle großes Geschick erfordert und insbesondere ungeübte Personen häufig nicht die angestrebte Gestalt erreichen, sind Zigarettendrehvorrichtungen weit verbreitet, die das manuelle Drehen der Tabakrollen erleichtern.Some of the cigarette smokers prefer not to consume industrially manufactured cigarettes for taste, cost or other reasons, but to shape the loose tobacco into a roll and to add a cover sheet and, if necessary, a filter to a cigarette. Since the formation of the roll requires great skill and inexperienced people in particular often do not achieve the desired shape, cigarette rolling devices are widely used which facilitate the manual rotation of the tobacco rolls.
Die gebräuchlichen Zigarettendrehvorrichtungen bestehen aus zwei achsparallelen, drehbaren Walzen, die in ihrer Länge und vorzugsweise auch in ihrem Durchmesser der zu formenden Zigarette entsprechen. Über beide Walzen hinweg verläuft ein Band, beispielsweise aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff oder Leder, dessen Breite mit der Länge der Walzen übereinstimmt und dessen Enden entweder frei oder miteinander in der Weise verbunden sind, daß ein endloses, beide Walzen umschließendes Band entsteht. Im letzteren Fall übersteigt die Länge des endlosen Bandes den Umfang des Walzensystems etwa im Bereich zwischen dem 1,5- und 2-fachen Umfang der herzustellenden Tabakrolle, wobei die Bandlänge an die Anordnung der Rollen, speziell ihren Umfang und minimalen Abstand angepaßt ist. Eine solche Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise in der DE-B-2 23 52 211 beschrieben.The usual cigarette turning devices consist of two axially parallel, rotatable rollers which correspond in length and preferably also in diameter to the cigarette to be shaped. A belt runs over both rollers, for example made of a flexible plastic or leather, the width of which corresponds to the length of the rollers and the ends of which are either free or connected to one another in such a way that an endless belt is formed which surrounds both rollers. In the latter case, the length of the endless belt exceeds the circumference of the roller system approximately in the range between 1.5 and 2 times the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced, the belt length being adapted to the arrangement of the rolls, specifically their circumference and minimum distance. Such a device is described for example in DE-B-2 23 52 211.
Die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung ist wie folgt. Aufgrund der Länge des Bandes läßt sich in seinen Verlauf zwischen den Walzen eine Einstülpung einbringen, in die der zu drehende Tabak, gegebenenfalls nach vorherigem Einlegen eines Filters, eingebracht wird. Zumindest eine der Walzen ist in Richtung von der anderen Walze weg verschiebbar, beispielsweise in einem Langloch, oder auf einem Hebel verschwenkbar befestigt, so daß sich die Basis der Einstülpung verengen und der Tabak weitgehend umschließen läßt. Ein endloses Band wird bei diesem Vorgang infolge seiner begrenzten Länge straff gespannt und verläuft daher reibschlüssig über die Walzen, mit der Folge, daß bei einem Zug am Band oder der Drehung einer Walze auch die andere Walze sowie der eingeschlossene Tabak in Rotation versetzt werden. In ihrer Funktion entsprechen beide Walzen sowie der zwischen ihnen eingeschlossene Tabak somit jeweils Umlenkrollen, um die das Band unter Zug verläuft. Durch das Abrollen des Tabaks auf der Bandoberfläche sowie dessen Zugkraft wird eine Rolle gedreht, verfestigt und verdichtet, deren Gestalt durch die Abmessungen der Drehvorrichtung präzise vorgegeben ist. Stirnseitig wird das Herausfallen des Tabaks dabei durch die Wandung des unmittelbar an die Enden der Walzen angrenzenden Gehäuses der Vorrichtung verhindert, das in der Regel aus Blech gefertigt ist. Abschließend wird die Tabakrolle mit einem Deckblättchen versehen, beispielsweise indem es gegen Ende des Drehvorgangs zwischen Band und Tabakrolle geführt wird.The device works as follows. Due to the length of the belt, an indentation can be introduced into its course between the rollers, into which the tobacco to be rotated is introduced, if necessary after a filter has been inserted beforehand. At least one of the rollers is displaceable in the direction away from the other roller, for example in an elongated hole, or is pivotably fastened on a lever, so that the base of the indentation can be narrowed and the tobacco can be largely enclosed. An endless belt is stretched taut due to its limited length and therefore runs frictionally over the rollers, with the result that when a train on the belt or the rotation of one roller also the other roller and the enclosed tobacco are set in rotation. In terms of their function, both rollers and the tobacco enclosed between them correspond to deflection rollers around which the belt runs under tension. By rolling the tobacco on the belt surface and its tensile force, a roll is rotated, consolidated and compacted, the shape of which is precisely determined by the dimensions of the rotating device. On the face side, the tobacco is prevented from falling out by the wall of the housing of the device which is directly adjacent to the ends of the rollers and is generally made of sheet metal. Finally, the tobacco roll is provided with a cover sheet, for example by guiding it between the belt and the tobacco roll towards the end of the turning process.
Die im Stand der Technik üblichen Drehvorrichtungen lassen sich ausschließlich zur Herstellung zylindrischer Zigaretten nutzen. Viele Raucher bevorzugen jedoch Zigaretten mit einer konisch auf das Mundstück zulaufenden Gestalt, um die Tabakmenge zu erhöhen und die Brennzeit zu verlängern. Weiterhin ist eine konische Gestalt der Zigarette auch aus gesundheitlichen Gründen von Vorteil, da der glimmende Bereich der Zigarette, und damit der Entstehungsort gesundheitsschädlicher Schadstoffe, über einen längeren Anteil des Brennzeitraums einen vergrößerten Abstand zum Mundstück aufweist. Somit verlängert sich die Wegstrecke des inhalierten Rauches durch die Tabaksäule deutlich, und ein größerer Anteil der Schadstoffe wird ausgefiltert.The rotary devices customary in the prior art can only be used for the production of cylindrical cigarettes. However, many smokers prefer cigarettes with a conical shape towards the mouthpiece in order to increase the amount of tobacco and to extend the burning time. Furthermore, a conical shape of the cigarette is also advantageous for health reasons, since the glowing area of the cigarette, and thus the place where harmful harmful substances are produced, is at a greater distance from the mouthpiece over a longer portion of the burning period. This significantly extends the path of inhaled smoke through the tobacco column, and a larger proportion of the pollutants is filtered out.
Eine weitere Zigarettendrehvorrichtung ist aus der FR-A-1 2 558 042 bekannt, Sie weist ein Gehäuse auf, in dem zwei konisch bzw. kegelstumpfförmige Walzen angeordnet sind, über die ein Band geführt ist, so daß eine Tasche gebildet ist. Mit einer solchen Anordnung sollen konische Zigaretten- bzw. Tabakrollen herstellbar sein. Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, daß eine solche Vorrichtung nur schwer handhabbar ist und keine zufriedenstellenden Ergebnisse in Bezug auf die Konizität der Tabakrollen liefert.Another cigarette rolling device is known from FR-A-1 2 558 042. It has a housing in which two conical or frustoconical rollers are arranged, over which a band is guided, so that a pocket is formed. With such an arrangement, conical cigarette or tobacco rolls should be able to be produced. However, it has been shown that such a device is difficult to handle and does not provide satisfactory results with regard to the taper of the tobacco rolls.
Vor dem vorstehend beschriebenen Hintergrund und ausgehend von dem eingangs beschriebenen Stand der Technik hat sich die vorliegende Erfindung zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine Zigarettendrehvorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der einfach handhabbar und mit guten Ergebnissen konische Tabakrollen herstellbar sind.Against the background described above and starting from the prior art described at the outset, the present invention has for its object to provide a cigarette rolling device with which easy to handle and with good results conical tobacco rolls can be produced.
Die vorstehende Aufgabe wird, ausgehend von einer Zigarettendrehvorrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE-B-2 23 52 211 bekannt ist, dadurch gelöst, daß die Länge des endlosen Bandes parallel der Achsen der Walzen kontinuierlich zunimmt.The above object is achieved, starting from a cigarette turning device, as is known for example from DE-B-2 23 52 211, in that the length of the endless belt parallel to the axes of the rollers increases continuously.
Ein erfindungsgemäß gestaltetes Band der Vorrichtung hat im aufgetrennten Zustand vorzugsweise eine etwa zylindermantel- bis trapezförmige Gestalt. In der Umkehrung läßt es sich durch Verbinden der Seiten eines etwa zylindermantel- oder trapezförmigen Stückes aus flexiblem Material herstellen, die im Winkel zu den einander parallelen Rändern verlaufen. Wie bei einer herkömmlichen Drehvorrichtung ist der Umfang des Endlosbandes weiterhin näherungsweise die Summe aus dem Umfang des Walzensystems und dem doppelten Umfang der herzustellenden Tabakrolle. Letztere nimmt nun jedoch parallel der Drehachsen der Walzen in einer Richtung kontinuierlich, im speziellen linear, zu. Bei ansonsten über beide Walzen gespanntem Band entsteht somit zwischen ihnen eine Einstülpung, deren Tiefe in einer Richtung parallel der Achsen zunimmt. Wird diese Einstülpung in herkömmlicher Weise mit Tabak ausgefüllt, die Walzen in einem Langloch oder einem Scharnier aufeinander zubewegt, und das Band in Bewegung versetzt, entsteht somit eine Rolle von der gewünschten, konischen Gestalt. Von besonderer Bedeutung für die Funktion der Vorrichtung ist dabei ein reibschlüssiger Bandverlauf über die Walzen, der entsteht, indem der elastisch zusammenepreßte Tabak das bevorzugt gleichfalls elastische Bad gegen die Walzenoberfläche zieht. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß beim Drehen der Walzen, welches auch durch einen Antrieb oder eine Kurbel erfolgen kann, die in die Einstülpung nachgeführte und aus ihr entnommene Bandlänge an beiden Rändern einer Walze gleich ist. Auf diese Weise wird sowohl eine Schrägstellung des Bandes vermieden als auch die unterschiedliche Länge der Einstülpung entlang der Walzenachsen aufrecht erhalten. Die vorteilhafte Folge ist eine sichere Funktion der Vorrichtung in der gewünschten Weise.A band of the device designed according to the invention preferably has an approximately cylinder jacket to trapezoidal shape in the separated state. Conversely, it can be made by connecting the sides of an approximately cylindrical or trapezoidal piece of flexible material, which run at an angle to the mutually parallel edges. As with a conventional turning device, the circumference of the endless belt is still approximately the sum of the circumference of the roller system and twice the circumference of the tobacco roll to be produced. However, the latter now takes place parallel to the axes of rotation of the rollers continuously in one direction, in particular linearly, to. If the belt is otherwise stretched over both rollers, an indentation is created between them, the depth of which increases in a direction parallel to the axes. If this indentation is filled in a conventional manner with tobacco, the rollers are moved towards one another in an elongated hole or a hinge, and the belt is set in motion, a roll of the desired, conical shape is thus created. Of particular importance for the function of the device is a frictional belt path over the rollers, which is created by the elastically compressed tobacco pulling the preferably also elastic bath against the roller surface. This ensures that when the rollers are rotated, which can also be done by a drive or a crank, the length of the strip which is fed into and removed from the indentation is the same on both edges of a roller. In this way, an inclined position of the belt is avoided and the different length of the indentation along the roller axes is maintained. The advantageous consequence is a safe function of the device in the desired manner.
Das wesentliche Merkmal des vorbeschriebenen Verfahrens zum Drehen und Verdichten einer konischen Tabakrolle besteht in Abweichung von der Herstellung einer zylindrischen Rollle darin, daß die Tiefe der Einstülpung in das Band parallel der Walzenachsen in einer Richtung kontinuierlich zunimmt. Weiterhin ist eine reibschlüssige Festlegung des Bandes auf den Walzen erforderlich, bevor beide in Bewegung versetzt werden, damit die unterschiedliche Länge der Einstülpung entlang der Achse während des Drehvorgangs erhalten bleibt. Sind diese Erfordernisse sichergestellt, so läßt sich das Verfahren auch mit Vorrichtungen durchführen, die in ihrem Aufbau von der oben beschriebenen Ausführung abweichen. Denkbar ist beispielsweise eine Drehvorrichtung mit einem endseitig offenen Band zu verwenden, wobei der Reibschluß durch gegen die Walzen wirkende Andruckrollen erreichbar ist. Eine Alternative besteht im Formschluß zwischen zahnradartigen Walzen und einem mit ihnen zusammenwirkenden elastischen Zahnriemen als Band.The essential feature of the above-described method for rotating and compacting a conical tobacco roll, in deviation from the manufacture of a cylindrical roll, is that the depth of the indentation in the band increases continuously in one direction parallel to the roll axes. Furthermore, a frictional fixation of the belt on the rollers is required before both are set in motion so that the different length of the indentation along the axis is maintained during the turning process. If these requirements are ensured, the method can also be carried out with devices which differ in their construction from the embodiment described above. For example, it is conceivable to use a rotating device with an open-ended belt, the frictional engagement being achievable by pressure rollers acting against the rollers. An alternative is the form fit between gear-like rollers and an elastic toothed belt interacting with them as a band.

In Figur 1 ist eine seitliche Ansicht einer Zigarettendrehvorrichtung unter Weglassung von Teilen des Gehäuses 1 sowie der Abdeckung 2 dargestellt. Die Vorrrichtung besteht in ihrem grundsätzlichen Aufbau aus zwei Walzen 3, 4, die jeweils um eine Achse 5, 6 drehbar sind und über die ein endloses Band 7 verläuft, dessen Länge den gemeinsamen Umfang beider Walzen 3, 4 übersteigt, so daß zwischen ihnen eine Einstülpung 8 einbringbar ist. Die rechte Walze 4 ist mit ihrer Drehachse 6 nicht unmittelbar am Gehäuse 1, sondern an einem Hebel 9, angebracht, der seinerseits um die Drehachse 10 verschwenkbar ist. Weiterhin ist an dem Hebel 9 die Abdeckung 2 befestigt, deren Zweck insbesondere darin besteht, dem Benutzer einen geeigneten Griff an dem entsprechend einer Zigarettenlänge nur einige Zentimeter großen Bauteil zu verschaffen.FIG. 1 shows a side view of a cigarette turning device, with parts of the
Durch Anheben der Abdeckung 2 verschwenkt der Hebel 9 nach oben, so daß sich der Abstand der Walzen 3, 4 vergrößert und die Einstülpung 8 zwischen ihnen gut zugänglich wird. Sie wird, gegebenenfalls nach Einbringen eines Filters, mit Tabak ausgefüllt, und werden nachfolgend die Walzen 3, 4 durch Verschwenken von Abdeckung 2 und Hebel 9 wieder zusammengeführt. Aufgrund des Umfassens des Tabaks 11 wird das beispielsweise aus gewebeverstärktem Kunststoff bestehende Band 7 dabei reibschlüssig über die Walzen 3, 4 gezogen. Durch Drehen am über die Walze 4 verlaufenden, frei zugänglichen Bereich des Bandes 7 werden somit beiden Walzen 3, 4 sowie der umschlossene Tabak 11 in Rotation versetzt. Die Zugspannung des Bandes bewirkt, daß bei diesem Vorgang eine feste, ausreichend dichte Tabakrolle vorgegebener Gestalt entsteht.By lifting the
Figur 2 zeigt einen senkrechten Schnitt durch die Vorrichtung im Bereich der geformten Rolle des Tabaks 11. Dabei ist zu erkennen, daß die Tiefe der Einstülpung 8 entlang der Achse 5 der Walze 3 linear zunimmt, wie es beispielsweise zu erreichen ist, indem zwei Ränder eines etwa trapezförmigen Materialstreifens zu einem endlosen Band verbunden werden. In der Folge entsteht aus dem Tabak 11 eine Rolle von der gewünschten, konischen Gestalt. Der reibschlüssige Verlauf des Bandes 7 stellt sicher, daß die Entnahme und Nachführung des Bandes 7 aus der Einstülpung 8 entlang der gesamten Länge der Walzen 3, 4 gleich ist, so daß die Unterschiede in der Tiefe der Einstülpung 8 erhalten bleiben. Dies bedeutet jedoch nicht notwendigerweise, daß ihre mittlere Länge konstant bleibt, die vielmehr bei der allmählichen Verdichtung des Tabaks 11 in der Regel geringfügig abnimmt.Figure 2 shows a vertical section through the device in the region of the shaped roll of
Zusammenfassend wird eine Zigarettendrehvorrichtung beschrieben, mit der sich auf einfache Weise, vorzugsweise von Hand, konische Zigaretten drehen lassen.In summary, a cigarette rolling device is described with which conical cigarettes can be rotated in a simple manner, preferably by hand.
