Automatic cigarette maker

Abstract

An automatic cigarette maker comprises a case that is provided with a container therein. The container has an opening at the top thereof. The tobacco leaves in the container are pushed out of a tobacco supply duct by a feeding module. A rotary disc is connected with one end of a linkage arrangement and is provided with a plurality of tubes that are arranged in a form of circular array. Each tube is provided with a cigarette paper therein. Thereby, when the linkage arrangement moves the rotary disc backward relative to the container, a tube covers the tobacco supply duct for filling tobacco leaves. When the rotary disc is moved forward, a cigarette paper is fully filled with tobacco leaves. When being moved relative to the container forward and backward once, the rotary disc is rotated at a constant angle. Consequently, the tubes can cover the tobacco supply duct one after another and tobacco leaves can be filled into each cigarette paper in sequence.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cigarette maker, and more particularly, to an automatic cigarette maker that is capable of filling tobacco leaves into several cigarette papers continuously.BACKGROUND[0002]A conventional cigarette maker is typically used for the purpose of massive production and includes continuous processing lines. Besides, shredded tobacco leaves are placed into a series of cigarette papers by means of injection method. After that, the cigarette papers filled with tobacco leaves are processed to produce commercial cigarettes. However, it is inconvenient for someone to use above machines to make only one single cigarette each time when he or she has special taste. During the process of making cigarettes under the condition that one single cigarette can be made each time, tobacco leaves should be cut up first and then rolled in cigarette papers or filled into cigarette paper bags. Accordingly, it not only takes a lot of time and work to make c...

Benefits of technology

[0005]Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cigarette maker provided with a pressure regulator for adjusting the pressure exerted to cigarette papers. Thereby, when tobacco leaves are filled into the bags, the tightness of tobacco leaves in cigarette paper bags can be controlled in order to meet personalized preference.

[0008]In practice, the case is further provided with a pressure regulator therein. The pressure regulator includes a pressure-regulating module and a pressing element. The pressing element is connected with the pressure-regulating module in a way of being relatively movable. Thereby, during the delivering process of tobacco leaves, the pressure produced form the pressing element and exerted to the cigarette papers can be controlled via the pressure-regulating module to control the tightness of the tobacco leaves in cigarette papers.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is inconvenient for someone to use above machines to make only one single cigarette each time when he or she has special taste.

Accordingly, it not only takes a lot of time and work to make cigarettes, but it is also difficult to control the tightness of tobacco leaves in the cigarette paper bags and will result in the problem of uneven taste.
