Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for forming a cigarette, in particular, consumer, home appliance machinery to automate a manual, laboured production of cannabis rod, commonly referred to as joints. The apparatus as herein described may provide an all-in-one solution for cannabis or smokable herbs storage, crushing, packing and rolling of custom sized joints, on command while minimizing maintenance and refill of consumables. In addition, the apparatus has the versatility to use a refillable cartridge as well as a single-use, nitrogen flushed and/or vacuum sealed cartridge, which may extend both shelf-life and the freshness of cannabis flower.

An apparatus for forming a cigarette, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one blade to cut and shear a smokable substance comprising plant matter;
- an extruder via which the smokable substance is selectively extruded;
- an end member positioned to provide a space for the smokable substance so extruded;
- and
- a sensor configured to provide a signal indicative of the extent to which the smokable substance is biased towards the end member to guide a rate at which paper is wound around the smokable substance so extruded.
An apparatus for forming a cigarette, the apparatus comprising:
- an extruder via which a smokable substance is selectively extruded;
- an end member positioned to provide a space for the smokable substance so extruded;
- and
- at least one actuator which enables a distance between the extruder and the end member to be adjusted, with a length of the cigarette being selectively adjustable thereby.
An apparatus for forming a cigarette, the apparatus comprising:
- an extruder configured to extrude a smokable substance towards an end member;
- at least one sensor configured to provide a signal indicative of the extent to which the smokable substance is biased towards the end member;
- and
- a microprocessor which controls operation of the extruder and positioning of the end member relative to the extruder to adjust a compactness and length of the smokable substance so extruded in response to user input data correlated at least in part to the sensor.
