Cigarette rolling machine

Abstract

The invention provides a cigarette rolling machine designed for both the use as a rolling template for creating cigarette paper tubes around the main body (FIG. 3 ) and then dispensing a load of tobacco into the awaiting paper tube after the tobacco has been inserted through slotted openings machined into one side of each of the two tubes which make up the main body (FIG. 3 ), an outer body tube (FIG. 1 ) which is the outside of the main body, then the tobacco is inserted into and shaped into a cylinder form by, a inner body tube (FIG. 2 ) which is then ejected out by a plunging push rod (FIG. 10 ) that rams the cigarette shaped tobacco out of the machine into the paper tube, the push rod which is attached on the main body by, a retaining end piece (FIG. 7 ) in which the plunging push rod (FIG. 10 ) can be extended out as many times as required to fill additional tobacco and again rammed into the awaiting cigarette tube to increase its size or to insert layers of different flavors or kinds of tobacco.

1 . A machine for the forming and filling of cigarette papers, comprising of two separate hollow tube pieces, an outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) which serves several purposes including as a sleeve cover, rolling paper template and tobacco filling port opening, a inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) which also serves several purposes including as a tobacco-receiving zone, cigarette form shaper and tobacco filling port, is slid inside of the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) forming a main body ( FIG. 3 ) in which the two separate tubes can fully rotate within each other, both tubes are machined out and slotted ( FIG. 5 ) along the majority of their lengths on one side, when these slots of both tubes are rotated and brought into alignment with each other, it creates a suitable opening and filling cavity for the forming of tobacco into a cylinder shape, then the outer body tubes ( FIG. 1 ) slot is rotated and misaligned with the inner body tubes ( FIG. 2 ) slot to close the cavity which is the tobacco-receiving zone ( FIG. 6 ) of the machine, a retaining end piece ( FIG. 7 ) is bonded on the inside of one end of the inner body tube ( FIG. 8 ) coupling the two tubes together which makes up the main body ( FIG. 3 ) this is accomplished by retaining the outer body tubes inward ridge ( FIG. 9 ) between the retaining end piece ( FIG. 7 ) and the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) the machine further comprising a plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) that is movably mounted through and guided by the retaining end piece ( FIG. 7 ) as it slides through the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) that during the introduction of tobacco into the machine, is pulled outwards extending the machine to its longest length to expose an open cavity during this filling stage, after rotating closed is manually depressed inwards to eject the contents within the inner body tube ( FIG. 11 ) known from here on out as a tobacco cartridge ( FIG. 12 ), a push rod tip piece ( FIG. 13 ) bonded onto the inner end of the plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) which makes direct contact with the tobacco cartridge within the machine and also guides the inner end of the plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) as it slides through the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) making contact with and then depressing the tobacco cartridge forward out of the opened end of the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) of the machine, a push rod press piece ( FIG. 14 ) bonded onto the outside end of the plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) in which pressure can be applied to eject out the tobacco cartridge from within the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) into an awaiting cigarette rolling paper ( FIG. 15 ) which is wrapped around the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) forming a paper cigarette tube ( FIG. 16 ) in which the tobacco cartridge is received once ejected out of the machine ( FIG. 17 ). 
   
   
       2 . A machine according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) also has the function as a template for the forming of cigarette papers ( FIG. 16 ) around the main body ( FIG. 3 ) effectively creating a cigarette paper tube roller. 
   
   
       3 . A machine according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) and the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) slid together form the main body ( FIG. 3 ) while simultaneously forming an inner cavity for the filling and forming of a tobacco cartridge. 
   
   
       4 . A machine according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) and the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) once fitted together and when the slots of each tube are aligned forms a unique and suitable opening for the placement of tobacco into the main body ( FIG. 3 ). 
   
   
       5 . A machine according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) and the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) when fitted together with both slots aligned with each other causes a imbalanced shift in weight as the opening side becomes lighter and the opposite side weight doubles, causing the machines slotted and filling side to rotate upwards when placed on any flat surface. 
   
   
       6 . A machine according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the mutual fastening means used to lock together the two tubes is accomplished with a retaining end piece ( FIG. 7 ) inserted through the outer body tube ( FIG. 1 ) end that is flanged inward and then inserted and bonded to the inside of the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ) which retains both as a single piece while providing the two tubes the capacity to fully rotate independently from each other. 
   
   
       7 . A machine according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) is designed to have sliding mobility in and out and to apply the specific amount of force required to overcome the friction cause between the tobacco cartridge and its compression against the sidewalls of the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ). 
   
   
       8 . A machine according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the plunging push rod ( FIG. 10 ) slide position can be manipulated in and out several times, reopening the filling cavity each time while inserting additional tobacco and again closing, allowing dispensing of multiple shorter tobacco cartridges into the same receiving paper cigarette tube creating a layered effect along with a longer cigarette as more or different tobaccos are added. 
   
   
       9 . A machine according to  claim 7 , characterized in that the push rod tip ( FIG. 14 ) also performs the task as a retaining device for the push rod and plunging depth guide limiting the plunging push rods ( FIG. 10 ) position to inside of the inner body tube ( FIG. 2 ).
