Patent

CA 2506354

Devices for filling a cigarette tube with tobacco are disclosed. In one aspect, the devices contain separate metering, compression, and injection mechanisms, which may be manual, partially automatic, or fully automatic. The metering mechanisms move a proper amount of tobacco to a compression chamber, where the tobacco is thereafter compressed for eventual injection. In some embodiments, means are provided for assessing whether a sufficient quantity of tobacco has been metered into the compression chamber, and if not, further metering is accomplished prior to injection. In another aspect, the metering and compression mechanisms are combined into a single mechanism to the same effect.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs de remplissage d'un tube à cigarette à l'aide de tabac. Selon un mode de réalisation, lesdits dispositifs contiennent des mécanismes de dosage, de compression et d'injection séparés, lesquels peuvent être manuels, partiellement automatiques ou complètement automatiques. Lesdits mécanismes de dosage déplacent une quantité appropriée de tabac vers une chambre de compression, dans laquelle le tabac est ensuite compressé en vue d'une injection éventuelle. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne des moyens permettant d'évaluer si une quantité suffisante de tabac a été dosée dans la chambre de compression, si tel n'est pas le cas, un dosage supplémentaire a lieu avant injection. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les mécanismes de dosage et de compression sont combinés en un mécanisme unique destiné au même effet.
