Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif pour.le remplissage de tubes en papier à cigarettes, ce dispositif comprenant une plaque de base, deux parois latérales portées par cette plaque de base, une des parois latérales étant dotée d'une partie tubulaire faisant saillie vers l'extérieur et s'adaptant dans le tube en papier à cigarettes à remplir, l'autre paroi latérale étant pourvue d'une ouverture en face de la partie tubulaire susdite, au moins un rouleau supporté à rotation dans ces parois latérales, une bande flexible entourant au moins partiellement ce rouleau et un poussoir pouvant s'étendre à travers l'ouverture susdite et ayant une longueur telle qu'il puisse pousser un boudin de tabac en dehors de la partie tubulaire susdite.The present invention relates to a device for the filling of cigarette paper tubes, this device comprising a base plate, two side walls carried by this base plate, one of the side walls being provided with a projecting tubular part. outwards and fitting into the cigarette paper tube to be filled, the other side wall being provided with an opening opposite the aforesaid tubular part, at least one roller supported for rotation in these side walls, a flexible strip at least partially surrounding this roller and a pusher which can extend through the abovementioned opening and having a length such that it can push a tobacco rod outside the aforementioned tubular part.

On trouve dans le commerce des tubes pré- collés vides en papier à cigarettes, parfois dotés d'un filtre, tubes que l'on peut remplir suivant ses goûts, d'un mélange de tabacs de sa propre composition. Ce remplissage est cependant difficile parce que le tabac, pour pouvoir assurer une circulation d'air et un tirage normaux dans la cigarette alors qu'elle est fumée,doit de préférence être introduit roulé dans le tube.There are commercially available empty pre-glued cigarette paper tubes, sometimes fitted with a filter, tubes which can be filled according to taste, with a mixture of tobaccos of its own composition. This filling is however difficult because the tobacco, in order to be able to ensure normal air circulation and draft in the cigarette while it is smoked, must preferably be introduced rolled into the tube.

Les dispositifs du genre en question ont pour but de faciliter ce remplissage.The devices of the kind in question are intended to facilitate this filling.

Un tel dispositif est connu du brevet allemand no. 246.061. Dans ce dispositif connu, la plaque de base est pourvue dans sa face supérieure et du coté arrière d'un creux longitudinal. La bande flexible est fixée par ses extrémités à l'arrière et à l'avant à la plaque de base et passe par dessus l'unique rouleau. Ce rouleau est mobile entre une position arrière dans laquelle il se trouve au-dessus du creux, la bande flexible formant alors dans le creux une auge pour le tabac, et une position avant dans laquelle il se trouve du côté avant par rapport à la partie tubulaire portée par la paroi latérale. Dans cette dernière position un boudin de tabac est emprisonné par la bande flexible derrière ce rouleau juste en face de la partie tubulaire à travers laquelle ce boudin peut être poussé en dehors à l'aide du poussoir après qu'on ait relaché ce rouleau.Such a device is known from German patent no. 246,061. In this known device, the base plate is provided in its upper face and on the rear side with a longitudinal recess. The flexible strip is fixed by its ends at the rear and at the front to the base plate and passes over the single roller. This roller is movable between a rear position in which it is located above the hollow, the flexible strip then forming in the hollow a trough for tobacco, and a front position in which it is on the front side relative to the part tubular carried by the side wall. In this latter position, a tobacco rod is trapped by the flexible strip behind this roller just opposite the tubular part through which this rod can be pushed out using the pusher after this roller has been released.

Avec ce dispositif, le tabac est essentiellement comprimé en un boudin mais est très peu roulé, ce qui ne donne pas un remplissage idéal.With this device, the tobacco is essentially compressed into a rod but is very little rolled, which does not give an ideal filling.

L'invention a pour but de procurer un dispositif pour le remplissage de tubes en papier à cigarettes permettant d'obtenir un remplissage d'une meilleure qualité avec un tabac bien roulé.The object of the invention is to provide a device for filling cigarette paper tubes making it possible to obtain better quality filling with well-rolled tobacco.

Dans ce but, le dispositif comprend à part le rouleau susdit,trois autres rouleaux montés à rotation dans les parois latérales, deux rouleaux des quatre étant situés au-dessous des deux autres, un des rouleaux supérieurs étant monté de manière mobile entre les parois latérales entre une position rapprochée de l'autre rouleau supérieur et une position éloignée de ce rouleau et la bande flexible est un tube entourant l'ensemble des quatre rouleaux, tube à l'aide duquel ces rouleaux peuvent être mis en rotation, la circonférence du tube étant telle qu'il forme, lorsque le rouleau supérieur mobile se trouve dans sa position éloignée ausdite, une auge entre les rouleaux supérieurs permettant de recevoir la quantité de tabac avec laquelle le tube en papier à cigarettes doit être rempli et qu'il forme, lorsque le rouleau supérieur mobile se trouve dans sa position rapprochée suadite,une cavité plus petite entre les quatres rouleaux, cette cavité plus petite s'étendant dans le prolongement de la partie tubulaire susdite.For this purpose, the device comprises, apart from the aforementioned roller, three other rollers mounted for rotation in the side walls, two rollers of the four being located below the other two, one of the upper rollers being mounted movably between the side walls. between a position close to the other upper roller and a position remote from this roller and the flexible strip is a tube surrounding all four rollers, the tube with which these rollers can be rotated, the circumference of the tube being as it forms when the movable upper roller is in its position ausdite remote, a trough between the upper rollers to receive the amount of tobacco with which the cigarette paper tube must be filled and that it forms, when the movable upper roller is in its close position suadite, a smaller cavity between the four rollers, this smaller cavity extending in the extension of the above-mentioned tubular part.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, la circonférence interne de la partie tubulaire est â-peu-près tangente à la circonférence externe des rouleaux inférieurs.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the internal circumference of the tubular part is roughly tangent to the external circumference of the lower rollers.

Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse de l'invention,les deux rouleaux inférieurs ont un diamètre sensiblement inférieur au diamètre des deux rouleau supérieurs.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the two lower rollers have a diameter substantially smaller than the diameter of the two upper rollers.

Dans une forme de réalisation de l'invention appliquée de préférence, le dispositif comprend un couvercle monté à rotation autour d'un axe de rotation longitudinal entre les parois latérales, ce couvercle comprenant au moins une paroi latérale qui, en position fermée du couvercle, est située à l'extérieur le long de la paroi latérale portée par la plaque de base et dotée de la partie tubulaire susdite,et repose avec un contact ferme sur cette partie tubulaire ou sur le tube en papier à cigarettes enfilé sur cette partie tubulaire.In an embodiment of the invention preferably applied, the device comprises a cover mounted for rotation about a longitudinal axis of rotation between the side walls, this cover comprising at least one side wall which, in the closed position of the cover, is located outside along the side wall carried by the base plate and provided with the aforesaid tubular part, and rests with a firm contact on this tubular part or on the cigarette paper tube threaded on this tubular part.

  • Figure 4 is an elevational view of a side wall of the device.

Dans les différentes figures les mêmes chiffres de référence se rapportent à des éléments identiques.In the various figures, the same reference numbers relate to identical elements.

Le dispositif selon les figures comprend une plaque de base 1.The device according to the figures comprises a base plate 1.

La plaque de base 1 porte les parois latérales 2 et 3,dans lesquelles sont supportés à rotation deux gros rouleaux 4 et 5,ainsi que deux petits rouleaux 6 et 7 au-dessous des gros rouleaux. Les petits rouleaux 6 et 7 ont un même diamètre qui est au moins inférieur de 250 % au diamètre des gros rouleaux 4 et 5 qui ont également un même diamètre.The base plate 1 carries the side walls 2 and 3, in which two large rollers 4 and 5 are rotatably supported, as well as two small rollers 6 and 7 below the large rollers. The small rollers 6 and 7 have the same diameter which is at least 250% less than the diameter of the large rollers 4 and 5 which also have the same diameter.

Le rouleau 5 peut, grâce à des fentes 8 et 9 dans les parois latérales 2 et 3 être amené d'une position arrière,rapprochée du rouleau 4, position dans laquelle le rouleau est indiqué par le chiffre de référence 5,à une position avant et donc éloignée du rouleau 4 dans laquelle le rouleau est indiqué par le chiffre de référence 5a. Lorsque le rouleau supérieur mobile 5 se trouve dans sa position arrière,les axes des gros rouleaux supérieurs 4 et 5 sont situés verticalement au-dessus des axes des petits rouleaux inférieurs 6 et 7.The roller 5 can, thanks to slots 8 and 9 in the side walls 2 and 3, be brought from a rear position, close to the roller 4, position in which the roller is indicated by the reference numeral 5, to a front position and therefore remote from the roller 4 in which the roller is indicated by the reference numeral 5a. When the movable upper roller 5 is in its rear position, the axes of the large upper rollers 4 and 5 are situated vertically above the axes of the small lower rollers 6 and 7.

L'écartement entre les axes des petits rouleaux inférieurs 6 et 7 est situé entre 9,5 et 10,5 mm.The distance between the axes of the small lower rollers 6 and 7 is between 9.5 and 10.5 mm.

Les rouleaux 4,5,6 et 7 sont entourés par un tube ou tuyau 20 en matière flexible, dont la circonférence est suffisamment grande pour entourer non seulement les quatre rouleaux, mais encore aussi former une auge longitudinale dont le diamètre permet de recevoir la quantité de tabac nécessaire pour une cigarette lorsque le rouleau mobile 5 se trouve dans sa position 5a éloignée du rouleau 4.The rollers 4,5,6 and 7 are surrounded by a tube or pipe 20 made of flexible material, the circumference of which is large enough to not only surround the four rollers, but also also form a longitudinal trough whose diameter allows the quantity to be received of tobacco necessary for a cigarette when the movable roller 5 is in its position 5a remote from the roller 4.

La longueur des rouleaux 4,5,6 et 7 et du tube flexible 20 est supérieure d'au moins 20 % à la longueur d'une cigarette finie.The length of the rollers 4,5,6 and 7 and of the flexible tube 20 is at least 20% greater than the length of a finished cigarette.

Les parois latérales 2 et 3 sont chacune dotées à l'extérieur d'une partie tubulaire 10 ou 11 conique extérieurement. Ces parties tubulaires 10 et 11, dirigées vers l'extérieur, sont situées l'une en face de l'autre. Un poussoir 12, qui possède à une extrémité un disque 13 qui sert de butée, tandis que l'autre extrémité 14 est arrondie, traverse la partie tubulaire 11 et peut pénétrer avec son extrémité arrondie 14 dans l'autre partie tubulaire 10.The side walls 2 and 3 are each provided on the outside with a tubular part 10 or 11 which is conical on the outside. These tubular parts 10 and 11, directed outwards, are located one opposite the other. A pusher 12, which has at one end a disc 13 which serves as a stop, while the other end 14 is rounded, passes through the tubular part 11 and can penetrate with its rounded end 14 into the other tubular part 10.

La circonférence interne des parties tubulaires 10 et 11 est à-peu-près tangente à la circonférence externe des petits rouleaux inférieurs 6 et 7.The internal circumference of the tubular parts 10 and 11 is roughly tangent to the external circumference of the small lower rollers 6 and 7.

Le diamètre externe le plus grand des parties tubulaires coniques 10 et 11 est égal au diamètre intérieur du tube en papier à cigarettes 21 à remplir.The largest external diameter of the conical tubular parts 10 and 11 is equal to the internal diameter of the cigarette paper tube 21 to be filled.

La longueur du poussoir 12 est choisie telle que le disque 13 à une extrémité rencontre la partie tubulaire 11 lorsque l'extrémité opposée arrondie 14 est à niveau avec l'extrémité libre de la partie tubulaire 10.The length of the pusher 12 is chosen such that the disc 13 at one end meets the tubular part 11 when the opposite rounded end 14 is level with the free end of the tubular part 10.

Les parois latérales 2 et 3 portent en outre un couvercle 15, qui présente une paroi longitudinale 16 et des parois latérales 17 et 18. Le couvercle 15 est conçu de telle sorte que la paroi longitudinale 16 vient se situer lors de la fermeture, entre les rouleaux 4 et 5, tandis que les parois latérales 17 et 18 s'appuient fermement sur les parties tubulaires 10 et 11.The side walls 2 and 3 further carry a cover 15, which has a longitudinal wall 16 and side walls 17 and 18. The cover 15 is designed so that the longitudinal wall 16 comes to be located during closing, between the rollers 4 and 5, while the side walls 17 and 18 rest firmly on the tubular parts 10 and 11.

La circonférence du tube flexible 20 est telle qu'il forme, lorsque le rouleau mobile 5 se trouve dans sa position rapprochée du rouleau 4, entre les quatre rouleaux 4,5,6 et 7, conjointement avec la délimitation par la paroi longitudinale 16 du couvercle 15 en position fermée, un tube dont le diamètre est égal ou inférieur,et de préférence inférieur d'au moins 30 %,au diamètre intérieur du tube en papier à cigarettes 21 à remplir.The circumference of the flexible tube 20 is such that it forms, when the movable roller 5 is in its position close to the roller 4, between the four rollers 4,5,6 and 7, together with the delimitation by the longitudinal wall 16 of the cover 15 in the closed position, a tube whose diameter is equal to or less, and preferably at least 30% smaller, than the inside diameter of the cigarette paper tube 21 to be filled.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention fonctionne comme suit :

  • On met d'abord le poussoir 12 dans sa position sortie dans laquelle l'extrémité arrondie se trouve dans la partie tubulaire 11. On ouvre ensuite le couvercle 15.
The device according to the invention operates as follows:
  • The pusher 12 is first put in its extended position in which the rounded end is in the tubular part 11. The cover 15 is then opened.

Avec le couvercle 15 ouvert, on tire le rouleau 5 à la position avant 5a, de telle sorte que le tube 20 forme entre les rouleaux 4 et 5, une auge longitudinale dans laquelle on dispose, bien réparti, le tabac nécessaire pour une cigarette. Ensuite, on ramène le rouleau 5 à sa position arrière primitive et on l'anime avec les pouces, d'un mouvement de rotation dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Le tube 20 déplace alors les rouleaux 4,6 et 7 et tourne le tabac en un boudin. Après environ cinq mouvements de rotation, on enfile un tube 21 en papier à cigarettes sur la partie tubulaire 10 et on ferme le couvercle. Celui-ci s'encliquette avec sa paroi longitudinale 16 entre les rouleaux 4 et 5 et s'appuie sur le boudin de tabac non représenté, tandis que ses parois latérales 17 et 18 s'appuient sur les parties tubulaires 10 et 11, la paroi latérale 17 coinçant alors le tube 21 en papier à cigarettes. On pousse ensuite avec l'index de la main gauche à partir du bas sur la partie tubulaire 10 en maintenant donc ainsi le tube 21 s'y trouvant, et simultanément avec le pouce sur le couvercle 15. On fait ensuite glisser lentement le poussoir 12 dans le dispositif, jusqu'à ce que le disque 13 rencontre la partie tubulaire 11, de telle sorte que le boudin de tabac soit glissé dans le tube 21 vide et le remplisse. Après ouverture du couvercle 15, on peut retirer le tube 21 rempli de la partie tubulaire 10, le boudin de tabac bourré se dilatant alors et remplissant complètement le tube 21, en exerçant ainsi une légère pression prévue sur sa paroi interne; la cigarette est finie et le dispositif suivant l'invention est à nouveau prêt à l'emploi.With the cover 15 open, the roller 5 is pulled to the front position 5a, so that the tube 20 forms between the rollers 4 and 5, a longitudinal trough in which there is arranged, well distributed, the tobacco necessary for a cigarette. Then, the roller 5 is brought back to its original rear position and it is animated with the thumbs, with a rotation movement in the clockwise direction. The tube 20 then moves the rollers 4,6 and 7 and turns the tobacco into a rod. After approximately five rotational movements, a cigarette paper tube 21 is threaded onto the tubular part 10 and the cover is closed. This snaps into place with its longitudinal wall 16 between the rollers 4 and 5 and rests on the tobacco rod not shown, while its side walls 17 and 18 rest on the tubular parts 10 and 11, the wall side 17 then wedging the tube 21 of cigarette paper. We then push with the index finger of the left hand from the bottom on the tubular part 10 thus maintaining the tube 21 therein, and simultaneously with the thumb on the cover 15. We then slowly slide the pusher 12 in the device, until the disc 13 meets the tubular part 11, so that the tobacco rod is slid into the empty tube 21 and fills it. After opening the cover 15, the filled tube 21 can be removed from the tubular part 10, the stuffed tobacco rod then expanding and completely filling the tube 21, thus exerting a slight pressure provided on its internal wall; the cigarette is finished and the device according to the invention is again ready for use.

Il doit être entendu que l'invention n'est nullement limitée à la forme d'exécution décrite ci- avant et que bien des modifications peuvent y être apportées,notamment quant à la forme, à la disposition, à la composition et au nombre des éléments intervenant dans sa réalisation.It should be understood that the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described above and that many modifications can be made to it, in particular as to the form, the arrangement, the composition and the number of elements involved in its realization.
