Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, a method, a system and a tobacco cuboid for the self-production of cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes, by the consumer.
  • the invention relates to self-manufacture which alternatively to manufacture by rolling cigarettes from loose tobacco (roll your own), self-clogging of cigarettes from loose tobacco or the known manufacture of cigarettes from prefabricated tobacco supports from Tobacco Rolls or Stix (make your own) to see is.
  • the EP 0 647 411 B1 describes a variety of tobacco cubes, which are kept in shape by internal and external substances. In these tobacco cubes Vorportiontechniken are provided. Different sheaths are also described.
  • the EP 0 584 805 B1 describes a tobacco cuboid having strongly rounded longitudinal sides and having a porous outer casing. Furthermore, it describes a device which is used for self-production of cigarettes from the wrapped tobacco cubes also described therein. The wrapper is not removed when using the device described, which has negative taste effects for the consumer. Furthermore, the use of a knife for separating a tobacco portion of the tobacco cuboid is needed whose limited life also limits the use of the entire device.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to provide a device which uses a quantity of tobacco comprising several portions for cigarette production, each serving being sufficient to produce a cigarette.
  • This multi-portion amount of tobacco should have a substantially cuboidal realization, which is why the term tobacco cuboid is used herein.
  • the definition of the tobacco cuboid is important for the processability of the tobacco cuboid with the different embodiments of the device according to the invention.
  • the tobacco cuboid has a, in particular homogeneous, tobacco density which does not differ substantially from that of the finished cigarette, in particular the tobacco density of the tobacco cuboid is not higher than twice as high as in the finished cigarette and not lower than half as high as in the finished cigarette. Preference is given to a tobacco cuboid with a tobacco density which is close to that of the finished cigarette.
  • the tobacco cuboid has a height and width corresponding to the dimensions of the finished cigarette, i. the height of the tobacco block corresponds to the diameter and the width of the tobacco block corresponds to the length of the tobacco rod of the finished cigarette. With almost identical tobacco density of the tobacco block and the finished cigarette, the corresponding dimensions are also correspondingly almost identical. However, should the tobacco density of the tobacco cuboid deviate up or down from that of the finished cigarette, this is compensated by the corresponding adjustments of the height or width of the tobacco cuboid to produce a high quality cigarette.
  • the length of the tobacco cuboid corresponds to the number of portions of the multi-portion amount of tobacco in the tobacco cuboid. Preferably, the length is adjusted so that an integer number of tobacco portions is contained in the tobacco cuboid. In particular, the number of tobacco portions should be greater than 5.
  • the tobacco cuboid has a homogeneous, loose tobacco bulk, which preferably does not specify structuring. In particular, no string-like pre-portions are present.
  • the tobacco cuboid at the corresponding parts of the length of the tobacco cuboid predetermines perforations of the tobacco, without the To cut tobacco cubes.
  • Such perforations may have been incorporated by various methods. Particularly conceivable are knives, knife disks or water jet cutting methods. These perforations serve to facilitate the separation of a tobacco portion of the remaining tobacco cuboid.
  • the tobacco cuboid should preferably hold together by inherent forces. For long-fiber tobacco slices, this is easily achieved by the length of the fibers. In the case of short-fiber tobacco slices, this can be achieved by adapting the casing materials. If necessary, the surface of the tobacco cuboid can be treated accordingly, in particular sprayed.
  • the tobacco cuboid may have a wrapper which guarantees both the freshness of the tobacco cuboid, facilitates or facilitates the handling of the tobacco cuboid in cigarettes self-production, as well as ensures the dimensional stability of the tobacco cuboid.
  • This wrapper may comprise all sides of the tobacco cuboid or only a few, in particular a single side.
  • the envelope is opened or completely removed, so that the device according to the invention can process the loose tobacco cuboid. It is envisaged that as few parts of the wrapper will be involved in the process of self-production of the cigarettes as possible, especially none.
  • wrapping materials paper and cardboard are just as conceivable as plastic, in particular film materials.
  • the devices of the invention can be divided into two groups. Devices separating individual tobacco portions from the tobacco cuboid will first be described. This is followed by devices that separate a plurality of tobacco portions from the tobacco cuboid by a process, preferably process the entire tobacco cuboid with a process. Unless further discussion is given on the transfer of the shaped tobacco rod, this is done by known process steps and device components such as pestles or spoon-type pushers.
  • FIG 1 an embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown schematically, with three stages of work to see each other.
  • a tobacco cuboid 1 lies on a receptacle 3 of a base body 2 of the device. Since a cutting punch 5 is located outside of a tobacco-portion receiving space 7, the tobacco cuboid 1 can be pushed up to a portioning stop 9. If the cutting punch 5 is pressed down, a tobacco portion 11 is sheared off. The shearing can be done simultaneously over the entire length of the tobacco cuboid or scissor-like by a joint.
  • the shape of the cutting punch provides a concave shaping means for the tobacco rod and two separating edges 4 which, together with the edge of the tobacco portion receiving space 7 form the shearing edge for the tobacco portion 11. A knife for separating the tobacco portion of the tobacco cuboid is not necessary.
  • the shaped tobacco portion 11 can now be transferred by means not shown in the cigarette tube from the drawing level out.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown schematically, with three stages of work can be seen side by side. This differs from the embodiment of Figure 1 in that the tobacco feed vertically, i. done along gravity. However, in both embodiments, a mechanical conveying aid may also be provided, e.g. supported by spring preload the transport of the tobacco block in the stop position.
  • FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 3, wherein three work stages can be seen side by side.
  • the tobacco cuboid 1 is again introduced through a receptacle 3 in the device and pushed against the Portionieranschlag 9.
  • Portioning in this device is accomplished by a pincer mechanism with two pincers halves 13 attached to a joint 14, in particular force-locking (e.g., spring closing).
  • force-locking e.g., spring closing
  • the transfer of the tobacco portion 11 (the tobacco rod) into a cigarette paper tube can be carried out as described above.
  • the tobacco cuboid 1 is portioned between two forming wheels 15, each having round, concave forming means 16 (notches) with separating edges 4 on its outer periphery.
  • the portioning stop 9 forms, together with the notches 16 of the forming wheels 15, the shaped tobacco portion 11. The transfer of the tobacco portion 11 (of the tobacco rod) into a cigarette paper tube can take place as described above.
  • FIG. 5 A further embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 5, wherein four work steps can be seen side by side.
  • the tobacco cuboid 1 is fed to a single forming wheel 15 in a housing 20 and the division of the tobacco cuboid 1 in portions by the tobacco cuboid 1 by the separating edges (4) (webs ) of the forming wheel 15 is severed and formed with the housing wall 18 as an abutment.
  • the forming wheel 15 is mechanically rotated further. In position 7, the tobacco portion has arrived in the receiving space and can be transferred as described above.
  • FIG. 6 shows a schematic representation of another embodiment of the device according to the invention, with four stages of operation being visible one below the other. It is an embodiment in which the tobacco cuboid 1 is divided into several tobacco portions simultaneously.
  • This device consists essentially of two Ausformhquen 17 which can accommodate the tobacco cuboid 1 completely and are connected at one edge by a hinge 19 or the like. In the Ausformhgann 17 stops or markers may be provided to properly position the tobacco cuboid 1 (not shown here).
  • the Ausformhbankn 17 have alternately punch 5 with separating edges 4 and tobacco portion-receiving chambers 7, wherein these elements are longitudinally offset in the two halves.
  • the individual tobacco portions 11 are separated in a movement, but still partially offset in time, and finished by the preformed semicircles of the tobacco portion-receiving spaces 7 in the Ausformhtuben 17.
  • the tobacco portions 11 are formed, which are indicated in the last step, only two of which are designated.
  • the shaped tobacco portions 11 are in two planes arranged one more in the upper and one more in the lower half of the device.
  • the z. B. can be designed according to Figure 6, shown schematically, in the closed state and with attached filter cigarette tubes 22.
  • Figure 7 At the top in Figure 7 is shown an upper view, below two stages in a sectional view for the introduction of the tobacco portion 11 in the sleeve 22.
  • a slider 21 is provided with which the tobacco portion 11 can be transferred into the cigarette tube 22 and which has an attacking head which projects out of the device through a slot 24 at the top.
  • the corresponding slides 21 can also be arranged as rods on the side opposite the cigarette tubes. It is also possible that all slides 21 are connected and all tobacco portions 11 are transferred simultaneously.
