US Patent:

6913022, Jul 5, 2005

Filed:

Nov 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/714359

Inventors:

Larry E. Moser - Marysville IN, US
Robert J. Daily - New Albany IN, US

Assignee:

Cousins Distributing, Inc. - Suisun CA

International Classification:

A24C005/02

US Classification:

131 70, 131 71, 131 72

Abstract:

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.

Filed:

May 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/152894

Inventors:

Larry E. Moser - Clarksville IN, US
Robert J. Daily - Clarksville IN, US

International Classification:

A24B 7/14

US Classification:

131108

Abstract:

A device that can be designed and used manually, partially automatically or fully automatically for packing a cigarette tube with a metered, precise amount of tobacco that leads to a consistent filling of the tube to an even and complete density such that the burning rate and continuity are consistently the same, regardless of the cut of tobacco being used, and independent of operator control variables.

International Classification:

A24C 5/06

US Classification:

131 811

Abstract:

A device for filling cigarette tubes that can be designed and used manually, partially automatically, or, fully automatically for packing cigarette tubes with a metered, precise amount of tobacco that leads to a consistent filling of the tube to an even and complete density such that the burning rate and continuity are consistently the same, regardless of the cut of tobacco being used, or of moisture content of the tobacco, and, independent of operator control variables.
