Benefits of technology

The present invention is a portable cigarette filling machine that can keep a continuous flow of tobacco into empty cigarette tubes, without the need for filling tobacco as long as the tobacco container contains tobacco. It also automatically cleans the cigarette tip from any excess tobacco, allows users to control how tightly tobacco is packed into the cigarettes, and is compact and portable. Additionally, it provides a safety mechanism that automatically stops the machine when the tobacco container cap is opened.

Problems solved by technology

The existing machines still have some major problems such as accumulation of excessive tobacco at the cigarette tip that extends beyond the cigarette tip.
Another disadvantage of most existing machines is to fill cigarette tubes continuously while preventing overfilling the cigarettes.

Embodiment Construction

[0054]FIG. 1 shows the cigarette filling device. The machine relates to a portable cigarette rolling machine equipped with optional features to be easily operated and to have continual operation without the need to stop the cigarette rolling process for refilling tobacco to the machine, and to ensure a supply of cigarettes that do not have excess tobacco extending from the cigarette end.

[0055]The bulk tobacco is placed into the sealed inlet storage container 15. The inlet sealed storage container 15 includes an internal mixing element that allows continual, smooth, and steady supply of tobacco to the filling channels 2. The tobacco in the filling channel is moved by the feeding spring 11 into the cigarette through the hollow bare tube 43 unit. An empty cigarette tube 4 placed on the supporting groove 50 is pushed gently over the hollow bar tube 43. The tobacco is continually fed by the feeding spring 11 into the cigarette tube 4, pushing the filled part away from the hollow bar 43. ...

Abstract

An electrical cigarette filling machine includes an inlet storage container and an internal device. The electrical cigarette filling machine supports additional accessories. The inlet storage container stores bulk tobacco and provides continual and smooth feeding of tobacco to the electrical cigarette filling machine. The internal device is located in the container. An example of an internal device is a rotating mixer. The internal device prevents tobacco from sticking inside the container and controls the fluent continual supply of tobacco to the electrical cigarette filling machine. The electrical cigarette filling machine may contain one or more feeding systems for simultaneous filling of a plurality of empty cigarettes tubes with tobacco. The machine can include a tip cleaner system for removing excess tobacco from the cigarette tip.
