Description

Portable device for filling tubes for cigarette.

Field of the Invention

This utility model consists of a portable device suitable for easily filling tubes for cigarette, that is to say a prefabricated set, in general with nozzle.

The term cigarette tube used in this Descriptive report designates a hollow tubular cavity, delimited by a cylindrical wall of smoking paper attached to a nozzle or support.

Background of the invention

Many smokers prefer to make them Manually make your own cigarettes to buy them already manufactured. A reason for this is that they find it cheaper to buy for separate tobacco and rolling paper to buy cigarettes ready made By such a procedure they can also select a particular tobacco or mix two kinds of tobacco and Dose it to your liking. Other smokers find certain satisfaction in making the cigarettes themselves manually instead of buying them already made by a manufacturer.

However, rolling or preparing cigarettes manually involves a number of disadvantages to the smoker. So for example it is difficult to achieve a cigarette with a adequate density of tobacco, since it is loaded or arranged manually or that said density is uniform throughout the entire cigarette. It is also difficult to make a cigarette in spaces open, particularly in case of bad weather.

To facilitate the smoker the elaboration of cigarettes manually in the market there are some tubes for cigarette in general with nozzle, which can be filled with tobacco manually. To carry out the filling of said prefabricated cigarette tubes are known in the market about charging devices that provide support for tobacco and means for its displacement and insertion in the tube and that if well they are practical they have a considerable size that It makes it difficult for the user to easily carry them with them.

Brief Explanation of the Invention

It is an object of the present invention the get a portable device that allows filling tubes to cigarettes with mouthpiece in a comfortable and simple way and that also present a small size so that the user can take it with you for example in the same case where it carries the tubes for cigarette or tobacco.

Essentially the portable device to fill cigarette tubes manually, characterized by comprise a hollow cylindrical sleeve, with an opening in its lateral wall, ready to receive in the cavity that delimits inwardly a load of loose tobacco fibers that are loaded by pouring and filling said cavity, and said shirt being fit (slightly reducing its wingspan by an extreme portion) to be inserted, filled with tobacco in a topped cigarette tube in a holder or mouthpiece. The device is completed with a stem used as a piston, with which the tobacco is pushed from the shirt (largely inserted in the cigarette tube) to inside the cigarette tube, while the shirt is removed of the tube.

In a preferred embodiment example said hollow tubular shirt is made of flexible material and has an opening full-length generatrix adopting the configuration of a open shirt, whose structure facilitates both the load of tobacco as the insertion of the end of the shirt loaded in the tube to hollow cigarette, allowing a reduction in diameter.

The invention is explained below with a greater detail through some examples of realization that come represented in the accompanying drawings, which are provided for illustrative purposes only, without they must be interpreted in no case with a limiting nature.

Detailed description of an execution example

The present invention consists of a device to fill cigarette tubes manually. Saying device comprises a cylindrical tubular body or sleeve 2, hollow, thin-walled and a push rod 3. Shirt 2 is made of a flexible material such as a sheet of plastic.

The shirt 2 has an opening 5 in all its length that allows, together with the flexibility of the material that the so that it can be opened by making the mentioned opening 5 wider (see Fig. 2a) and providing ample access to a cavity or elongated housing as a half cane so that it is simple dispose inside the snuff 4, shredded so that they do not exist knots, which you want to load later in the tube to cigarette 1.

This shirt filling operation requires that shirt 2, if it is all open longitudinally, open holding it with both hands and get ready on an accumulation of tobacco chips 4 distributed on a surface (Fig. 2a). By releasing the shirt and recover elastically its circular shape the tobacco 4 is trapped or captured inside the cavity of the shirt 2 (Fig. 2b).

Once tobacco 4 has already been captured in the shirt 2 as shown in figure 2, said shirt loaded with tobacco it is inserted at one end into the empty cigarette tube 1. The longitudinal opening is very helpful for this operation. 5 of shirt 2, because thanks to it it is possible to get a  effective reduction (overlapping the edges of the opening 5) of the section of a portion of one end of the shirt 2, in the time of introduction. After the operation, much of the shirt is inserted inside the tube 1 protruding only an extreme portion (see Fig. 3a).

Once the shirt 2 has been inserted into the tube for cigarette 1, it is introduced therein by said portion protruding end of tube 1, a rod 3 or pusher, whereby pressure is exerted by pushing tobacco 4 towards the empty space of the cigarette tube, while removing shirt 2 inside the cigarette tube 1. Once the stem 3 and shirt 2 are out of tube 1, the cigarette is formed as shown in Fig. 5. If desired improve the homogeneity of the distribution of chips in the inside the formed cigarette, you can proceed to spin the cigarette, pressing it laterally, between the fingers of the two hands, preferably with the filter facing down so as not to pour shavings.

Preferably the rod 3 or pusher will be axially perforated along its entire length, for example by a hole 6, in order to allow air to escape from the tube for cigarette 1 during the push of tobacco inside the same and avoid creating air pockets inside the cigarette.

The mentioned shirt 2 and the stem 3, have some marks 7, 8 respectively on its walls that will serve the user to be guided in the different stages that form the operation of filling and compacting the tube for cigarette 1 with tobacco, in concrete during insertion and subsequent removal of jacket 2, when the tobacco is being pushed from shirt 2 at the same time inside the tube 1, by means of the stem 3. With the help of these Marks 7, 8 can load the operation and obtain tobacco density values close to uniformity and variables according to the user's particular interest.

The object of this utility model will support different executions, particularly as regards the type of material used to make the flexible shirt explained, or the push rod, without leaving the essentiality which is reflected in the appended claims.
