Benefits of technology

The present invention is an improved shaker device for directing loose solid material (e.g., leafy material) into cylindrical or tapered receptacles (e.g., cigar skins, collection tubes, etc.). The device includes a housing, an oscillating motor, and a removable cover to prevent loss of the loose material. It also has a top plate with downward facing cone-shaped holes to direct the material into the receptacles, and receivers and additional plates to support them. The shaker device may have a medial plate and base plate for securing the receptacles, or a different number or size of plates to accommodate different numbers or sizes of receptacles. The top plate may be secured on an adjustable support post to fit different receptacles, and the device may also have a screen for filtering the loose material. The invention provides a quick interchange of parts to accommodate receptacles of varying size and number.

Abstract

a The present invention provides an improved shaker device for directing loose solid material (e.g., leafy material, such as tobacco) into a cylindrical or tapered receptacles (e.g., a cigar skin, collection tubes such as a tube flask, etc.). The shaker device offers significant advancements to filling such receptacles of varying length and width. The shaker device may include a housing, an oscillating or oscillating motor for automated shaking, and an easily removable cover to prevent loss of the loose material while the motor is on or if the device is tipped over. The shaker device may have a top plate with downward facing cone-shaped holes, each with a lower extension to direct loose material into the open ends of a plurality of receptacles, and receivers and / or additional plates to support the receptacles.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an improved shaking device for depositing and packing loose material into multiple receptacles, and methods of using the same. The shaker may include a oscillating shaking motor to enable an automated process for packing loose solid materials into multiple (e.g., cylindrical) receptacles.DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND[0002]It is common for people to roll their own cigarettes, both to avoid the increasing cost of purchasing manufactured cigarettes and to enjoy a fresh tasting product. The same concerns effect cigar smokers. However, preparing a cigar has long been solely within the purview of professional cigar rollers. This is partly due to the difficulty and time required to cure tobacco leaves in preparation for rolling them into a cigar skin. It would thus be beneficial for at-home cigar preparation to be able to utilize a hollowed-out, professionally prepared cigar skin, and add in a leaf filler of a user's choosing.[000...
