Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handstopfvorrichtung für Zigarettenhülsen, insbesondere für Zigarettenfilterhülsen, bestehend aus einem Gehäuse mit einer in Längsrichtung desselben angeordneten Tabakpreßkammer, einem dieser Preßkammer zugeordneten, deckelartigen Preßbalken in einem das Gehäuse abdeckenden und um eine Achse klappbaren Deckel, sowie einem einen Löffel tragenden Ausstoßschieber zum Ausstoßen eines gepreßten Tabakstranges in eine Papierhülse, die am Ausgang der Preßkammer mittels einer Klemmvorrichtung auf einer Tülle klemmend gehalten ist.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, a lid-like pressure bar associated with this pressure chamber in a cover which covers the housing and can be folded about an axis, and a discharge slide carrying a spoon Ejecting a pressed tobacco rod into a paper tube which is held clamped on a spout at the outlet of the press chamber by means of a clamping device.

Eine derartige Handstopfvorrichtung ist aus der DE-PS 2 064 641 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Stopfvorrichtung ist der Ausstoßschieber am Deckelteil geführt und mit diesem gemeinsam um die Achse verschwenkbar. Deckelteil und Ausstoßschieber ist um etwa 90 verschwenkbar, so daß der Zugang zu der Tabakpreßkammer teilweise behindert ist.Such a hand tamping device is known from DE-PS 2 064 641. In this known stuffing device, the ejection slide is guided on the cover part and can be pivoted together with it about the axis. The lid part and the ejection slide can be pivoted by approximately 90, so that access to the tobacco press chamber is partially obstructed.

Zur Klemmung der Hülse an der Tülle dient ein Arm eines im Gehäuse gelagerten zweiarmigen Hebels, der einerseits mit dem Deckel und andererseits mit einem Klemmstück für die Hülse zusammenwirkt.An arm of a two-armed lever mounted in the housing serves to clamp the sleeve to the spout, which lever interacts on the one hand with the cover and on the other hand with a clamping piece for the sleeve.

Zur Verriegelung des Deckelteils während des Ausstoßvorganges sind Nut-Nasen-Verbindungen und Sperrhebel-Anordnungen erforderlich.To lock the cover part during the ejection process, tongue and groove connections and locking lever arrangements are required.

Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Handstopfvorrichtung der eingangs erläuterten Art derart auszubilden, daß eine einfache Verriegelung des Deckels mit dem Gehäuse und eine gleichzeitige Klemmung der Hülse an der Tülle bewirkt wird, wobei der Aufbau des Gerätes und die Bedienung vereinfacht ist.The invention is based on the object of designing a hand tamping device of the type described in such a way that a simple locking of the cover with the housing and simultaneous clamping of the sleeve on the spout is effected, the structure of the device and the operation being simplified.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß bei dem Handstopfgerät der eingangs erläuterten Art der Ausstoßschieber als ein das Gehäuse und den, den Preßbalken enthaltenden und die Klemmvorrichtung betätigenden, Deckel umgreifendes, rahmenartiges Handgriffstück ausgebildet ist, mit dem der Löffel vorzugsweise an der Unterseite des Gehäuses verbunden ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung und Anordnung des Ausstoßschiebers wird erreicht, daß bei dem Stopfvorgang nicht mehr Gehäuseteil gegen Gehäuseteil bzw. Deckel gegen Gehäuseteil verschoben wird, sondern lediglich der Ausstoßschieber, während das durch den Deckel verschlossene Gehäuse ortsfest bleibt und das Handgriffstück über die ganze Länge seiner Bewegungsbahn den Deckel mit dem Gehäuse verriegelt.This object is achieved in accordance with the invention essentially in that, in the case of the hand tamping device of the type described at the outset, the ejection slide is designed as a frame-like handle piece, with which the spoon preferably engages, and encloses the housing and the press bar and actuates the clamping device the bottom of the housing is connected. The design and arrangement of the ejection slide according to the invention ensures that no more housing part is moved against housing part or cover against housing part during the tamping process, but only the ejection slide, while the housing closed by the cover remains stationary and the handle piece over its entire length Trajectory locked the lid with the housing.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine das Handgriffstück in Gehäuselängsrichtung verschiebende und dadurch den Deckel verriegelnde Feder vorgesehen, die beim Zurückschieben des Handgriffstückes über eine Ruheposition hinaus, z.B. nach Beendigung eines Stopfvorganges, den Deckel wieder entriegelt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a spring is provided which moves the handle in the longitudinal direction of the housing and thereby locks the cover and which, when the handle is pushed back, extends beyond a rest position, e.g. after completing a tamping process, unlock the lid again.

Diese selbsttätige Verriegelung des Deckels durch die das Handgriffstück in Gehäuselängsrichtung verschiebende Feder wird erreicht, daß das Gerät bei Nichtgebrauch stets geschlossen ist und daß nach dem Einfüllvorgang des Tabaks durch den Benutzer der Deckel selbsttätig verriegelt wird.This automatic locking of the lid by the spring moving the handle in the longitudinal direction of the housing ensures that the device is always closed when not in use and that the lid is automatically locked by the user after the tobacco filling process.

Um zu vermeiden, daß beim Ent- und Verriegelungsvorgang durch die vorstehend beschriebene Feder der Löffel mitgenommen wird, weist zweckmäßigerweise das Handgriffstück an seiner Unterseite ein Langloch auf, in das ein Mitnahmestift des Löffels derart eingreift, daß beim Ent- und Verriegelungsvorgang der Löffel mittels des Handgriffstückes nicht mitbetätigt wird.In order to avoid that the spoon is taken along during the unlocking and locking process by the spring described above, the handle piece expediently has an elongated hole on its underside, into which a driving pin of the spoon engages in such a way that the spoon is unlocked and locked by means of the Handle piece is not operated.

Zur Erleichterung der Bedienung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ein Federelement vorgesehen ist, welches beim Entriegeln den Deckel anhebt und derart das Gehäuse öffnet.To facilitate operation, it is advantageous if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, a spring element is provided which lifts the lid when unlocking and thus opens the housing.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dient als Federelement ein unter der Wirkung einer Feder stehender Stift. Dabei ist zweckmäßigerweise der unter dem Druck der Feder stehende Stift derart angeordnet, daß der Stift beim Anheben des Deckels gleichzeitig das Handgriffstück sperrt, derart, daß das Handgriffstück erst nach Schließen des Deckels wieder betätigt, d.h. verschoben werden kann.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pin under the action of a spring serves as the spring element. The pin under the pressure of the spring is expediently arranged in such a way that the pin simultaneously locks the handle piece when the lid is lifted, in such a way that the handle piece only operates again after the lid is closed, i.e. can be moved.

Die Klemmvorrichtung zum Festhalten der Zigarettenhülse auf der Tülle besteht in vorteilhafter Weise aus einer Blattfeder und einem diese Blattfeder betätigenden, durch den Deckel beaufschlagten, Stift.The clamping device for holding the cigarette tube on the spout advantageously consists of a leaf spring and a pin which actuates this leaf spring and is acted upon by the cover.

In noch weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der an dem Deckel angeordnete Preßbalken mit der Tabakpreßkammer bzw. der Einfüllöffnung zusammenwirkende, schneidenartige Längskanten auf. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß überflüssiger Tabak beim Schließen des Deckels abgeschnitten wird, so daß es nicht zur Überfüllung der Tabakpreßkammer kommen kann.In a still further embodiment of the invention, the pressure bar arranged on the cover has cutting edge-like longitudinal edges which interact with the tobacco pressing chamber or the filling opening. This ensures that unnecessary tobacco is cut off when the lid is closed, so that the tobacco compression chamber cannot be overfilled.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung verläuft die Achse des Deckels quer zu der Tabakpreßkammer und ist an dem mit der Tülle versehenen Ende des Gehäuses angeordnet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the axis of the cover extends transversely to the tobacco press chamber and is arranged at the end of the housing provided with the spout.

Gemäß einem abgewandelten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Achse des Deckels parallel zu der Tabakpreßkammer verlaufend an der Längsseite des Gehäuses angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich ein gleichmäßiger Preßdruck über die gesamte Länge des in die Tabakpreßkammer eingefüllten Tabaks.According to a modified embodiment of the invention, the axis of the lid is arranged parallel to the tobacco press chamber on the long side of the housing. This results in a uniform pressing pressure over the entire length of the tobacco filled into the tobacco pressing chamber.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung werden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellt. Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung im Ruhezustand,
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht in Richtung des Pfeiles A auf ein Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 eine rückwärtige Stirnansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles B der Fig. 1 auf das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 4 einen Längsschnitt durch das Ausführungsbeispiel, und
  • Fig. 5 einen Querschnitt entsprechend der Schnittlinie C-C in Fig. 4.
Further details, advantages and features of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, which represents an embodiment. It shows:
  • 1 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention in the idle state,
  • 2 is a plan view in the direction of arrow A of an embodiment according to FIG. 1,
  • 3 is a rear end view in the direction of arrow B of FIG. 1 of the embodiment of FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section through the embodiment, and
  • 5 shows a cross section corresponding to section line CC in FIG. 4.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in geschlossenem Zustand, in perspektivischer Ansicht und läßt erkennen, daß die Vorrichtung aus einem Gehäuse 1, einer Bodenplatte 21, auf der das Gehäuse 1 angebracht ist, einem um eine Achse 6 schwenkbaren Deckel 4 und einem Ausstoßschieber bzw. Handgriffstück 10, dessen Bedeutung später näher erläutert wird, besteht.Fig. 1 shows a device according to the invention in the closed state, in a perspective view and reveals that the device consists of a housing 1, a base plate 21 on which the housing 1 is mounted, a cover 4 pivotable about an axis 6 and an ejection slide or handle 10, the meaning of which will be explained in more detail later.

Aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 2, die eine Draufsicht des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 1 darstellt, ist ersichtlich, daß im Ruhezustand an dem Handgriffstück 10 eine im Gehäuse 1 angeordnete Feder 11 andrückt. Die Funktion der Feder 11 wird ebenfalls später noch näher erläutert.From Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, which shows a plan view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, it can be seen that a spring 11 arranged in the housing 1 presses on the handle 10 in the rest state. The function of the spring 11 will also be explained in more detail later.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt die Rückansicht der Vorrichtung nach Fig. 1 in Richtung des Pfeiles B und läßt die Klemmvorrichtung für eine (nicht dargestellte) Zigarettenhülse erkennen, die auf eine Tülle 9 aufgeschoben und während des Füllvorganges durch eine Blattfeder 17 unter der Wirkung eines Stiftes 18, der durch den Deckel 4 während des Verschiebevorganges des Handgriffstückes 10 nach unten gedrückt wird, festgeklemmt wird.Fig. 3 shows the rear view of the device of FIG. 1 in the direction of arrow B and shows the clamping device for a (not shown) cigarette tube, which is pushed onto a spout 9 and through during the filling process a leaf spring 17 under the action of a pin 18 which is pressed down by the cover 4 during the displacement process of the handle piece 10.

Aus Fig. 4 ist der Aufbau der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung deutlich ersichtbar. Auf einer Bodenplatte 21 ist lösbar oder unlösbar das Gehäuse 1 angeordnet. In seinem vorderen (in Fig. 4 rechten) Bereich ist das Gehäuse 1 kastenartig ausgebildet und weist eine Feder 11 auf, die beispielsweise eingeklemmt ist und deren freies Ende durch eine Öffnung 23 aus dem Gehäuse herausragt und gegen ein hinteres Ende eines Handgriffstückes 10 anliegt. Ferner ist um eine Achse 6 der Deckel 4 mit Preßbalken 5, um etwa 180 verschwenkbar, gelagert. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befindet sich die Achse 6 am rückwärtigen (linken) Ende des Gehäuses 1. Die Achse 6 kann jedoch auch parallel zur Längsrichtung des Gehäuses 1 verlaufen.The structure of the device according to the invention can be clearly seen from FIG. The housing 1 is arranged detachably or non-releasably on a base plate 21. In its front area (on the right in FIG. 4), the housing 1 is box-shaped and has a spring 11, which is clamped in, for example, and whose free end protrudes from the housing through an opening 23 and bears against a rear end of a handle piece 10. Furthermore, the lid 4 with the press bar 5 is pivoted about 180 about an axis 6. In the illustrated embodiment, the axis 6 is located at the rear (left) end of the housing 1. However, the axis 6 can also run parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing 1.

Unterhalb der Achsenanordnung ist eine Tülle 9 zur Aufnahme einer zu füllenden Zigarettenhülse angeordnet.A spout 9 for receiving a cigarette tube to be filled is arranged below the axis arrangement.

Das Gehäuse 1 weist eine Tabakpreßkammer 2 auf, deren untere Fläche durch einen verschiebbaren, mit dem Handgriffstück 10 durch einen Stift 13 verbundenen Löffel 7 gebildet ist. Der obere Teil der Tabakpreßkammer 2 ist durch den Preßbalken 5 dargestellt, der durch eine Einfüllöffnung 3 im Gehäuse 1 eingreift.The housing 1 has a tobacco pressing chamber 2, the lower surface of which is formed by a movable spoon 7 connected to the handle 10 by a pin 13. The upper part of the tobacco press chamber 2 is represented by the press beam 5, which engages through a fill opening 3 in the housing 1.

Durch die Feder 11 wird bei geschlossenem Deckel 4 das Handgriffstück 10 (in der Zeichnung) nach links gedrückt, so daß der Deckel 4 verriegelt wird, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Der Deckel 4 kann unter der Wirkung eines Verriegelungsstiftes 16 stehen, der von einer Feder 15 beaufschlagt wird. Wird das Handgriffstück 10 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 11 nach rechts verschoben, dann drückt der Stift 16 den Deckel 4 nach Dben und öffnet dadurch den Zugang zum Gehäuseinneren bzw. zu der Tabakpreßkammer 2.When the cover 4 is closed, the handle piece 10 (in the drawing) is pressed to the left by the spring 11, so that the cover 4 is locked, as shown in FIG. 4. The lid 4 can be under the action of a locking pin 16 which is acted upon by a spring 15. If the handle 10 is moved against the action of the spring 11 to the right, then the pin 16 presses the cover 4 D ben and thereby opens access to the interior of the housing or to the tobacco press chamber 2nd

Die Ausbildung kann dabei derart getroffen sein, daß bei entriegeltem Deckel der Stift 16 so weit nach oben tritt, daß eine Verschiebung des Handgriffstückes 10 verhindert wird. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß das Handgriffstück 10 (zusammen mit dem Löffel 7) nur verschoben werden kann, wenn das Gehäuse durch den Deckel 4 abgeschlossen ist.The training can be such that when the cover is unlocked, the pin 16 comes up so far that a displacement of the handle 10 is prevented. This ensures that the handle 10 (together with the spoon 7) can only be moved when the housing is closed by the cover 4.

Bei vereinfachten Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung kann die Feder 11 und/oder die Verriegelungsvorrichtung, bestehend aus Stift 16 und Feder 15, entfallen. Nach der Erfindung verläuft die Achse 6 des Deckels 4 quer zur Tabakpreßkammer 2 und ist an dem mit der Tülle 9 versehenen Ende des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet.In simplified embodiments of the invention, the spring 11 and / or the locking device consisting of pin 16 and spring 15 can be omitted. According to the invention, the axis 6 of the cover 4 extends transversely to the tobacco pressing chamber 2 and is arranged on the end of the housing 1 provided with the spout 9.

Gemäß einem abgewandelten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Achse des Deckels 4 parallel zu der Tabakpreßkammer 2verlaufend an der Längsseite des Gehäuses 1 angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich ein gleichmäßiger Preßdruck über die gesamte Länge des in die Tabakpreßkammer 2 eingefüllten Tabaks.According to a modified exemplary embodiment of the invention, the axis of the cover 4 is arranged running parallel to the tobacco pressing chamber 2 on the long side of the housing 1. This results in a uniform pressing pressure over the entire length of the tobacco filled in the tobacco pressing chamber 2.

Um zu vermeiden, daß bei der Verriegelung des Deckels durch das Handgriffstück 10 unter der Wirkung der Feder 11 der Löffel 7 mitbewegt wird, ist zur Verbindung zwischen dem Handgriffstück 10 und dem Löffel 7 ein Mitnahmestift 13 vorgesehen, der in ein Langloch 12 des Handgriffstückes 10 eingreift. Die axiale Länge des Langloches 12 entspricht dabei etwa der Länge der Öffnung 23 im Gehäuse 1.In order to prevent the spoon 7 from being moved when the lid is locked by the handle 10 under the action of the spring 11, a driving pin 13 is provided for the connection between the handle 10 and the spoon 7, which pin 13 extends into an elongated hole 12 of the handle 10 intervenes. The axial length of the elongated hole 12 corresponds approximately to the length of the opening 23 in the housing 1.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist im unteren Bereich das Gehäuse 1 ein Schlitz 22 vorgesehen, in den ein unterer, einwärts gerichteter, Teil des Handgriffstückes 10 gleiten kann.A slot 22 is expediently provided in the lower region of the housing 1, into which a lower, inwardly directed part of the handle piece 10 can slide.

Zur Betätigung der Feder 17 dient, wie erläutert, ein, vorzugsweise seitlich der Längsachse des Gerätes angeordneter Stift 18 mit einer Nut 24, in die ein Rand der Blattfeder 17 ein - greift. Beim Schließen des Deckels wird der Stift 18 nach unten gedrückt und klemmt dadurch die Feder 17 gegen die Tülle 9. Beim Öffnen des Deckels 4 drückt die Feder 17 gegen den oberen Rand der Nut 24 im Stift 18 und gibt gleichzeitig den oberen Bereich der Tülle 9 frei.As explained, a pin 18, preferably arranged on the side of the longitudinal axis of the device and having a groove 24 into which an edge of the leaf spring 17 engages, is used to actuate the spring 17. When the cover is closed, the pin 18 is pressed down and thereby clamps the spring 17 against the spout 9. When the cover 4 is opened, the spring 17 presses against the upper edge of the groove 24 in the pin 18 and at the same time gives the upper region of the spout 9 free.

Durch Betätigung des Handgriffstückes 10, d.h. durch dessen Verschiebung in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses 1 wird der in der Tabakpreßkammer 4 eingeführte Tabak mit Hilfe des Löffels 7 in eine an der Tülle 9 mit der Feder 17 festgeklemmte Hülse hineingeschoben.By operating the handle 10, i.e. by moving it in the longitudinal direction of the housing 1, the tobacco introduced into the tobacco pressing chamber 4 is pushed into a sleeve clamped to the spout 9 with the spring 17 by means of the spoon 7.

Nach Vollendung des Rück-Weges öffnet der Deckel 4 selbsttätig unter der Wirkung der Feder 15, so daß selbsttätig die Hülse an der Tülle 9 zum Abwerfen oder Abziehen freigegeben wird.After completion of the return path, the lid 4 opens automatically under the action of the spring 15, so that the sleeve on the spout 9 is automatically released for throwing or pulling off.

Der Preßbalken 5 an der Unterseite des Deckels 4 weist zweckmäßigerweise geschärfte Längskanten auf, die im Zusammenwirken mit der Einfüllöffnung 3 der Tabakpreßkammer 2 überstehende Tabakreste abschneidet, so daß Überfüllungen der Tabakpreßkammer oder unzulässig stark gepreßte Tabakstränge in der Kammer vermieden werden.The pressure beam 5 on the underside of the cover 4 expediently has sharpened longitudinal edges which, in cooperation with the filler opening 3 of the tobacco pressing chamber 2, cut off excess tobacco residue, so that overfilling of the tobacco pressing chamber or inadmissibly strongly pressed tobacco strands in the chamber are avoided.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte und beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Sie umfaßt auch alle fach - männischen Abwandlungen und Weiterbildungen sowie Teil- und / oder Unterkombinationen der beschriebenen und/oder dargestellten Merkmale und Maßnahmen.
