Hand filling device for cigarette tubes, particularly for filter cigarette tubes, with a tobacco press chamber extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, which is formed by a casing (12) located in the base portion (14), a press head (16) provided on a lid (18) covering the casing (12) and hinged to the casing (12), an ejector slide (22) for ejecting a tobacco skein pressed in a tobacco chamber via an opening (24) provided in the casing (12) into a (filter) cigarette tube, of a clamp device (59), which holds the (filter) cigarette tube in a clamping manner on a socket (50) located at the outlet of the tobacco press chamber, and of a resiliently-engaging, snap-in or the like device (60) for detachable connection of casing (12) and lid (18). In order to adapt the filling length of the tobacco chamber, there is associated with the ejector slide (22) an off-settable stop means (84), by means of which the tobacco filling position of the ejector slide (22) is alterable, adapting to the desired filling length of the tobacco press chamber.
A hand filling device for filling cigarette tubes including filter cigarette tubes with a tobacco skein, comprising a sliding casing (12) and a base portion (14) forming a tobacco press chamber extending in a longitudinal direction and including a fixed ejector slide (22) in said chamber with a back end wall (22′) and aligned with a forward end opening (24) of said sliding casing, a discharge socket (50) at said end opening (24), a lid (18) covering said casing (12) and hinged to the casing, a press head (16) attached to said lid and movable into said press chamber, said casing (12) being slidably mounted in said base portion and movable in said base portion relative to said ejector slide (22) for ejecting a tobacco skein pressed into said tobacco press chamber from said tobacco press chamber through said end opening (24) and socket (50) into a cigarette tube, a clamp device (59) for holding a cigarette tube to said socket (5), and an off-settable stop means (84) located in the path of said slide casing (12) relative to said base portion and thereby controlling the tobacco filling portion of said press chamber whereby the size of said portion (FL1, FL2, FL3) of the tobacco press chamber is directly adjusted by off-setting of said stop means relative to the path of said slide casing (12).
A hand filling device for filling cigarette tubes including filter cigarette tubes with a tobacco skein, comprising a tobacco press chamber extending in a longitudinal direction and having a fixed ejector slide (22) including a chamber back end wall (22′)and a base wall and said press chamber having a forward discharge opening aligned with said ejector slide, a sliding casing slidably mounted in a base portion (14) and having a socket (5) configured and constructed to support a tobacco skein aligned with said press chamber and said ejector slide, a press head connected to the chamber for pressing a tobacco skein into said chamber, said ejector slide (22) injecting the tobacco skein pressed into the tobacco press chamber skein in response to moving said sliding casing, and including an offsettable stop means (84) located in the path of said sliding casing, said stop means being movable and offset from the discharge opening of said chamber and defining a limit for maximum retraction of the said casing relative to said ejector slide (22) and thereby defining the tobacco filling position and portion of the chamber whereby the filling length (FL1, FL2, FL3) of the tobacco press chamber is adjustable by the offset of said stop means.
