Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hand tamping device for cigarette tubes, in particular for cigarette filter tubes, consisting of a housing with a tobacco press chamber arranged in the longitudinal direction thereof, from a lid-like press bar assigned to this tobacco press chamber in a cover which covers the housing and can be folded about an axis, from an ejection slide for inserting the pressed tobacco rod into a cigarette tube, which is temporarily clamped to a spout, and from a clamping element arranged laterally on the spout and movable transversely to the latter between a release and a clamping position.
  • Such a hand tamping device is known from DE-A-2 055 673.
  • the clamping element assigned to the grommet is always prestressed in the clamping position, specifically by a compression spring.
  • the clamping element When a cigarette paper sleeve is placed on the spout, the clamping element must therefore be brought into a release position against the action of this compression spring. e.g. by means of the index finger of the user of the device.
  • the clamping element is released again while the cigarette paper tube is clamped on the spout. The cigarette paper tube is then filled in a known manner.
  • the clamping element After filling the cigarette paper tube, the clamping element must be brought into the release position again in order to get the stuffed cigarette free, i.e. to be able to pull off the spout.
  • the handling described shows that the known device is complex in terms of clamping the cigarette paper tube.
  • the tobacco blocks when the cigarette paper tube is stuffed which means that if the stuffing process continues, the cigarette paper tube either bursts or is torn off the spout. The pollution caused by crumbling the tobacco is evident.
  • the clamping mechanism for cigarette paper sleeves attached to the spout is characterized on the one hand by a high level of operating convenience and on the other hand that it appeals to the tactile or pressure sensation of the user and thus gives the user a feeling for the tamping process in such a way that at the end of the tamping process or in the event of any faults during the tamping process, the clamping of the cigarette paper sleeve on the spout can be ended or broken off by the user.
  • clamping element independently of the actuation of the cover or the ejection slide, can be brought into the clamping position exclusively by means of a push button against the action of a compression spring.
  • the cigarette paper sleeve is clamped on the spout by an inevitable handling of the device for the tamping process, this is characterized by the highest ease of use.
  • the hand tamping device must lie on a surface and be held by the user when it is used. In general, the front end of the housing is held with one hand, while the cover and then the ejection slide are actuated with the second hand.
  • the inventive design of the clamping element ensures that the clamping process is initiated by the user of the device and the clamping is also maintained by the user during the tamping process.
  • the tactile or pressure sensation of the user is addressed during the entire tamping process and a feeling for the tamping process is transmitted, such that at the end of the tamping process or in the event of any faults during the tamping process, the cigarette paper sleeve is clamped to the spout of the device by the user can be ended or canceled.
  • the clamping element is concave at its end facing the spout.
  • the clamping element is advantageously guided in a holding part which can be connected to the front wall of the housing.
  • the holding part is designed like a fork. This results in a twist-proof guidance of the clamping element and a limited displacement distance is formed for the hand push button, which prevents the hand push button from being ejected by a compression spring.
  • a guide bar is provided for the holding part which engages in a slot between fork parts of the holding part and is arranged between the front wall of the housing and the side wall of the housing, which facilitates assembly.
  • the compression spring is arranged between a step-like abutment arranged in an opening for the pin in a recess in the housing side wall and the inside of the hand push button.
  • a hand tamping device designed according to the invention, consisting of a housing 1, a cover 6 that can be folded about an axis 4 on one of the two side walls of the housing, and a slide 7 for a stuffing agent, for example a spoon, which is inserted in a housing 1 arranged tobacco press chamber introduces pressed tobacco rod into a cigarette tube.
  • the housing 1 is advantageously arranged on a floor 5.
  • a hand push button 2 is provided, which is pushed out a certain distance from the housing 1 by means of a spring arrangement, when it is pressed in a clamping device described in more detail below, a cigarette tube on a spout 9 in the front wall 3 holds.
  • the clamping device is shown in FIG. 2 in an end view of the housing 1.
  • An opening 8 in the housing front wall 3 leads to a tobacco compression chamber.
  • the opening 8 is surrounded by a spout 9, onto which an empty cigarette tube is first pushed during the tamping process.
  • a holding part 13 is pushed onto this guide bar 23, the guide bar 23 engaging in a slot between two fork parts of the holding part 13.
  • the two fork parts form a guide for the clamping element 10.
  • Fig. 3 the holding part 13 is shown in an end view, how it is arranged in the fully assembled state in front of the front wall 3 of the housing and in its cutout the spout 9 protrudes.
  • the housing side wall 24 has a preferably rectangular or square recess 29.
  • An opening 25 for a pin 11 is provided in the housing side wall 24.
  • the pin 11 is formed in one piece with the hand push button 2 and forms the clamping element 10.
  • the pin 11 is concave at its end 12 facing the spout 9 in order to facilitate or ensure the clamping of a cigarette paper sleeve to the round spout 9.
  • a compression spring 28 is provided between a step-like abutment 26, which surrounds the opening 25 for the pin 11, and the inside 27 of the hand push button 2 in the fully assembled state.
  • the clamping device works in the following way:
  • the device is placed by the user with the floor 5 on a solid surface. Then the lid 6 is pivoted about the axis 4 and the tobacco press chamber is opened. In this tobacco press chamber (not shown), the user fills the required amount of tobacco and closes the lid 6. This forms the tobacco in the press chamber into a tobacco rod.
  • the slide 7, which can be connected to a stuffing rod, a spoon or the like, the tobacco rod is then inserted into a cigarette paper sleeve (not shown) clamped on the spout 9.
  • the cover 6 can also be arranged so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis running transversely to the longitudinal axis of the housing 1.
  • the design can also be such that a cigarette tube is pulled over the tobacco rod when the tobacco rod is at rest.
  • the device After filling the tobacco into the pressing chamber, the device is pressed firmly by the user with the left hand onto the base, while the right hand operates the slide 7. At the point where the user normally holds the device, the hand push button 2 is attached, which together with the other elements forms the clamping device.
  • the hand push button 2 By holding the housing 1 is, almost inevitably, the hand push button 2 pressed against the action of the spring 28 into the interior of the housing 1, with the concave front surface 12, the cigarette pushed onto the spout 9 paper sleeve is clamped.
