Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for stuffing prefabricated cigarette tubes, comprising a housing, a tobacco chamber, a tobacco support associated therewith, a movable pressing beam for forming tobacco inserted into the tobacco chamber into a strand, a tobacco support associated with the tobacco storage for one end of the tobacco rod, and a slider for filling the cigarette tubes with the tobacco rod relative to the housing displaceable slider.
• 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.
• the length of the press beam to the Greraum- length of the cigarette sleeve used in each case, the pressing beam on a fixed part and the pressing beam optionally complementary movable part.
• Another, generic device discloses the US 2004/0200485 A1.
• an optional insertable at the abutment end end in the tobacco chamber insert 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.
• the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved device for stuffing prefabricated cigarette tubes.
• a stop provided on the slide and optionally activatable or optionally attachable to the slide, in the activated or attached state, the displacement path relative to the housing by a certain length shortening stop is provided.
• the displacement path is shortened approximately by 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 is provided on the slide or optionally attachable, it can be easily operated or assemble or disassemble, since the slider is in contrast, for example, the tobacco receiving chamber easily accessible and offers a relative to the tobacco receiving chamber considerably larger mounting space, so that the stop considerably larger and therefore easier to operate than a stop which can be introduced, for example, into the tobacco receiving chamber.
• the abutment is then designed such that it protrudes with activated or 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 beveled end is provided at an end portion of the slider, the outer diameter corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of a cigarette tube.
• the sleeve To fill the sleeve, 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 by relocating back the slider is pulled over the tobacco pad, 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.

• 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 path of the slider is shortened by activating or attaching the longest stopper. The shortening of the displacement path is then projected by the insert, whose cross section preferably corresponds to the cross section of a tobacco rod produced with the device , into the tobacco receiving chamber, when the slider is in its limited by the stop end position, in which when using the device, the tobacco receiving chamber is filled with tobacco.

• the free end of the nozzle 1 1 is laterally beveled.
• the grommet 1 1 is integrally formed on a holding plate 12 at its end region lying opposite the laterally chamfered free end.
• To attach the spout 1 1 to the slide 13 grooves 14 are incorporated on the front wall, in which the holding plate 12 with its lateral edges from above can be inserted.
• a cover 15 is pivotably attached to the slider 8 about a horizontal axis X extending perpendicular to the direction of movement S.
• 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 pad 18, the side almost abuts the side walls of the recess 16 and the lateral edges of longitudinal projections 19 of the tobacco chamber 17 are covered, so as to avoid tobacco between the lateral edges of the tobacco pad and the Walls of the recess 16 passes.
• 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. There is sufficient play between the underside of the tobacco support 18 and the bottom wall 7 that the tobacco support 18 can pass unhindered through the grommet 10 when the slider 8 is displaced to the rear (as shown in particular in FIG. 7).
