Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for stuffing prefabricated cigarette tubes, with a housing, a tobacco chamber, a tobacco associated therewith, a movable pressing bar for forming tobacco inserted into the tobacco chamber into a strand, a tobacco support associated abutment for one end of the tobacco rod, and a for filling the cigarette tubes with the tobacco rod relative to the housing displaceable slider.
  • Such a device is known from DE 41 10 830 C1 known.
  • the abutment is designed as an adjustable longitudinal direction of the tobacco part, provided according to the number of cigarette tubes of different length to be stuffed at least two predetermined locking positions are.
  • Another generic device is from the DE 20 2008 012 816 U1 known.
  • the tobacco support is displaceable relative to the abutment displaced by a distance in the direction of movement of the slider, which corresponds approximately to the length difference of the different Greraum lengths.
  • a distance in the direction of movement of the slider corresponds approximately to the length difference of the different Greraum lengths.
  • displaceable in the direction of movement of the slider arrangement of the tobacco support this moves automatically into a position corresponding to the available length of the tobacco when acting in the displacement direction, a force exceeding the adhesion of the tobacco support in the housing. This is the case regularly when the end of the tobacco support facing away from the abutment comes into contact with the filter of a filter sleeve.
  • the pressing beam has a fixed part and a pressing member that optionally complements the movable part.
  • an insert which can be inserted into the tobacco chamber, optionally on the abutment-side end, is provided. This is so dimensioned that it not only adapts the length of the tobacco chamber to the filling space length of the cigarette tube in the state inserted into the tobacco chamber, but the insert also forms a stop for the wall of the slider carrying a sleeve for holding the cigarette tube, so that Also, the maximum displacement is adapted to the respective filling space length of the cigarette tube.
  • Another device for stuffing pre-made cigarette tubes comprises a housing and a slide displaceable relative to the housing for filling the cigarette tubes with the tobacco rod.
  • the housing has a stop in association with the ejection slide of the shape that the ejection slide can be moved back far different to the filling of a tobacco press chamber with tobacco.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved device for stuffing prefabricated cigarette tubes.
  • a selectively attachable to the slider, provided in the attached state, the displacement path relative to the housing by a certain length shortening stop By attaching the stop, the displacement path is shortened by about a length by which the length of the filling space of a first cigarette tube differs from the longer filling space of another cigarette tube.
  • the cigarette tube having the shorter filling space length may be a sleeve having a prolonged and / or filter portion supplemented by an activated carbon region so as to reduce the pollutant content inhaled when smoking a cigarette comprising a prefabricated filter sleeve.
  • the stop on the slide is optionally attachable, it can be easily assemble or disassemble, because the slide is in contrast, for example, easily accessible to the tobacco receiving chamber and offers a relative to the tobacco receiving chamber considerably larger mounting space, so that the stop considerably larger and thus easier operable as an insertable example, in the tobacco receiving chamber stop can be formed.
  • the abutment is then designed such that it protrudes when attached stop by the same length in the tobacco chamber. In this way it is achieved that the length of the tobacco receiving chamber is adapted in a corresponding manner to the filling space length of the cigarette tube with the shorter filling space as the displacement path.
  • a spout with a free, preferably bevelled end is provided at an end portion of the slider, the outer diameter approximately the inner diameter of a cigarette tube corresponds.
  • it is first pushed onto the spout, preferably by pressing down a cover provided on the slide, on which the pressing beam is provided, held stationary to the spout and finally pulled over by relocating the slider over the tobacco support, whereby the tobacco rod located thereon is displaced into the filling space of the cigarette paper tube.
  • the stop is formed in a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention as a separate component of an effective length, which is selectively attachable to a remote from the spout wall of the slider.
  • This separate component can for example be attached to a sales unit for the device according to the invention and be mounted by the user latter in the simplest manner, he would like to fill with the device cigarette tubes with shorter Greraum-length.
  • the device according to the invention makes it suitable in a particularly simple manner for filling three different cigarette tubes which differ in their filling space lengths, in that the sales unit has two optionally mountable stops which differ in their length. be attached. Accordingly, a suitability for filling four different cigarette tubes by adding three different stops, for five different cigarette tubes by four stops, etc. possible.
  • the abutment is - particularly preferably - formed by a provided in the tobacco receiving space insert whose length corresponds at least to the effective length of the longest stop provided.
  • effective length is meant the length by which the displacement travel of the slider is shortened by activating the longest stop.
  • the insert In order to shorten the displacement path, the insert, the cross-section of which preferably corresponds to the cross-section of a tobacco rod produced with the device, projects into the tobacco receiving chamber when the slider is in its end position limited by the stop, in which the tobacco receiving chamber with tobacco is in use is filled.
  • the exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention denoted by 100 in the drawing as a whole comprises a housing 1 with a base part 2, in which side recessed grips 3, 4 are incorporated.
  • the base part is made of plastic.
  • a slider 8 is guided in a straight line in the direction of movement S between the inner side walls 5, 6 and the bottom wall 7 thereof.
  • the slider 8 on both sides of projections 9, which engage in complementary grooves 10 in the side walls 5, 6.
  • a spout 11 is provided on the slide 8, whose outer diameter is adapted to the inner diameter of a prefabricated cigarette tube Z, that it can be pushed onto the spout 11 without much game.
  • the free end of the spout 11 is laterally bevelled.
  • the grommet 11 is integrally formed on its side inclined to the free end end portion of a retaining plate 12. To attach the spout 11 to the slide 13 grooves 14 are incorporated in the front wall, in which the holding plate 12 with its lateral edges from above can be inserted.
  • a cover 15 is hinged to the slide 8 about a horizontal, perpendicular to the direction of movement S axis X a lid.
  • the slider has an elongated recess 16 in the direction of movement S, which forms a tobacco chamber 17 and extends completely through the slider 8 in the vertical direction V.
  • the bottom of the tobacco chamber 17 forms a trough-shaped tobacco support 18, which abuts the side almost of the side walls of the recess 16 and the lateral edges of longitudinal projections 19 of the tobacco chamber 17 covers so as to avoid tobacco getting between the lateral edges of the tobacco pad and the walls of the recess 16.
  • the tobacco support 18 is made of a dimensionally stable material, such as metal and secured in the rear, protruding from the tobacco chamber 17 area on a arranged on the bottom wall 7 base on the base. Between the underside of the tobacco support 18 and the bottom wall 7 there is sufficient clearance that the tobacco support 18 when moving the slider 8 can penetrate unhindered through the spout 10 back (as in particular Fig. 7 shows).
  • a pressing beam 21 is formed, the downwardly facing side 22 of which is in the closed state approximately hollow with the same radius as the tobacco support 18.
