- 18 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A kit of components to be manufactured by a cigarette manufacturer for assembly of a filtered, smokable cigarette by a consumer comprises lengthy tobacco rods wrapped in a consumable wrapper, individual filters and tipping papers. The tipping papers are provided on a flat sheet and may be removed from the sheet one at a time for use. To assemble the smokable cigarette the wrapped rod is cut into desired lengths. One of the desired lengths is then placed adjacent a filter and the tipping is wrapped about the filter and the severed tobacco rod to provide the finished cigarette. A first assembly device to assist in the assembly of the kit components by the smoker comprises a trough with a depression adapted to receive the tobacco rod. A transverse slot assists in severing the rod into the desired lengths. For the assembly process a tipping paper is placed in guide means above the trough. A tobacco filter is laid over the tipping means and then a severed tobacco rod is placed adjacent the filter. The filter and tobacco rod are pressed down into the trough to partially wrap the tipping paper around the circumference and the tipping paper is then wrapped around the remainder of the circumference of the filter and a portion of the severed rod. A more sophisticated assembly device comprises a housing with a central bore and a rotating member which may be rotated within the bore of the housing. For assembly a filter and a severed tobacco rod are loaded into the annular gap between the bore of the housing and the rotating member. A tipping paper then fed by guide means through the wall of the housing to contact the filter and a portion of the severed rod. Rotation of the rotating member within the housing causes opposite of the filter and tobacco rod to draw the tipping paper into the housing and to wrap the tipping paper about the filter and - 19 - tobacco rod. The housing has a slot to discharge the completed cigarette from the housing.
