- an apparatus for manufacturing cigarettes comprising a hopper for receiving precut tobacco, a compactor for compacting the pre-cut tobacco into a cylindrical tobacco plug, a first transfer mechanism for transferring the pre-cut tobacco from the hopper to the compactor; a transition section having at least one hollow cylindrical transition tube designed to receive an empty tobacco tube thereabout, a second transfer mechanism to transfer the tobacco plug to the hollow cylindrical transition tube, and a pushing mechanism to push the tobacco plug into the cigarette tube and thereby discharge the cigarette tube from the transition tube.
- a method of filling a tobacco tube with pre-cut tobacco to form a cigarette comprising the steps of compacting the tobacco to form a cylindrical plug, placing the cylindrical plug in a transition tube; placing a cigarette tube over the transition tube, and pushing on the cylindrical plug of tobacco while in the transition tube to thereby fill the cigarette tube with tobacco as the cigarette tube is discharged from the transition tube.
- a method of filling a cigarette tube with pre-cut tobacco comprising the steps of providing a transition tube having a cylindrical configuration with an external diameter slightly less than the internal diameter of a cigarette tube, inserting a guide tube within the transition tube to extend through the free end of the transition tube, placing an open end of the cigarette tube over the guide and over the transition tube, withdrawing the guide member while continuing to place the cigarette tube on the transition tube, and pushing a pre formed plug of tobacco into the transition tube and continuing to push until the cigarette tube is discharged from the transition tube with the pre cut tobacco therein.
- the present invention is directed to a market wherein a smoker may go into a store and purchase a supply of precut tobacco and preformed cigarette papers or tubes. The user would then be able to insert the tobacco and tubes into a machine which would produce a predefined number of cigarettes.
- the apparatus will preferably include means for supplying cigarette tubes to the apparatus. While a number of different storage devices may be utilized, a preferred embodiment will utilize canisters of a desired capacity which may then be inserted into the machine. Naturally, different numbers and types of tubes may be utilized depending upon the requirements of the user.
- the apparatus will also include an input hopper into which cut tobacco strands may be placed.
- the precut tobacco is hermetically stored in a suitable container.

- the conveyors advance in the same direction to move the tobacco between half molds wherein it is formed into a plug.
- the conveyors may each converge to a final discharge point.
- the conveyors are vertically aligned.
- the tobacco is preferably placed between two half molds, at least one of which is moveable and which are arranged to form a plug of tobacco in a cylindrical configuration.
- a tobacco tube is placed over a transition tube which is sized to have an exterior diameter which is substantially equal or slightly less than the inner diameter of the cigarette tube.
- a moveable guide is utilized and which moveable guide has a conical end which is substantially smaller than the diameter of the cigarette tube.
- the guide member may extend through the transition tube such that when a cigarette tube is to be placed on the transition tube, the guide will function to properly guide the cigarette tube and allows for out of round cigarette tubes to be utilized. Once the cigarette tube has started to be placed on the transition tube, the guide member is withdrawn until the cigarette is firmly abutted against the transition tube.
- the transition cylinder may have a tapered end to provide some guiding to the cigarette tube when it is placed thereon.
- the cigarette tubes are singulated from the canister and placed on a rotating turret which has a plurality of recesses on the exterior surface thereof. Each recess is sized to receive a single cigarette tube and the turret is advanced sequentially through a number of stations as will be described in greater detail hereinbelow.
- the turret can be eliminated as will be shown in the drawings.
- the apparatus will include suitable sensing means at every step of the operation to ensure that this particular operation is properly carried out. Also, one may incorporate means for adjusting both the length of the cigarette and the compactness of the tobacco plug.
