Description
[0001] P400122WO_20250109 Page 1 | 52Devices for producing a smoking product, a method for producing a smoking product and a pilot The present invention relates to a device for producing a smoking product according to the preamble of patent claim 1, as well as a method for producing a smoking product according to patent claim 21, a device for producing a smoking product according to patent claim 25, a device for producing a smoking product according to patent claim 26, a pilot according to patent claim 27, a comminution device according to patent claim 28, and a mouthpiece according to patent claim 30. Technological background The production of cigarette-like finished smoking products is typically implemented using various known methods by means of comminution of raw material and filling and packaging of the raw material in paper-like smoking tubes.Aside from the fact that ready-to-smoke products can also be purchased ready-made, which of course eliminates any manufacturing work on the part of the end customer, a typical manufacturing process includes the following steps: Preparing the raw material: First, the raw material to be used is selected by the end user and freed of unwanted components such as leaves and stems. It is then pre-processed by hand as desired for consumption or necessary for loading a crushing device. When a crushing device is used, so-called grinders are grinding mechanisms that crush the prepared raw material, usually through a radial rotary motion, using crushing discs that are usually arranged horizontally and parallel in one or more stages. This device is usually used for crushing cannabis flowers. The raw material is reduced to filler material.Commercially available grinders usually consist of two concentrically parallel discs equipped with interlocking, offset cutting pins. The raw material is preliminarily pressed into the spaces between the cutting pins of the lower disc, and the upper disc, with its offset cutting pins, is pressed onto the lower disc and the raw material on top. By rotating radially relative to one another, the cutting pins move past each other, reducing the size of the raw material introduced into the spaces by cutting and crushing. The filler material shredded in this first stage often falls through recesses in the lower disc into a collecting container, into a further shredding stage, or directly into a filling hopper. A typical grinder is disclosed in US795746A.The next process steps can be categorized as packaging and differ depending on whether it is plugging or rolling. These two main procedures have a correspondingly different process sequence. With the first variant, plugging, the smoke sleeve is manufactured in a first step or purchased ready-made and then filled or plugged with filling material in a second step. These smoke sleeves are usually purchased pre-made, but you can also make them yourself by wrapping a packaging strip called a paper around a suitably shaped, stable core, e.g. by joining the paper at its adhesive point to form a tube and then pushing the filter into the empty smoke sleeve. There are two basic methods for how the filling material gets into the smoke sleeve, which are differentiated as follows.Either as a previously formed and compacted filler material core, which is pushed into the smoke sleeve as a whole, or filler material filled into the smoke sleeve in portions, for example by falling and tapping, is compacted. There are also variants that use a pestle to compress the filler material in the smoke sleeve. The reduced-size and mixed filler material is preferably stuffed into the smoke sleeve via a funnel and / or using a pestle. In the second process type, rolling, the filler material including a prefabricated filter is finally packaged in a paper in one operation, with the shape of the packaging being formed using a filler material core or rolled and then glued around the filler material core. This process requires a certain amount of tact, especially since it is difficult to shape and glue the paper around the unstable filler material core and the filter.The shredding process and the filling or packaging process are usually supported by different devices, which requires a manual transfer of the shredded raw material from the shredding device to the filling or packaging device. However, there are also solutions that combine these two devices into a single device, thus eliminating the need for manual handling between the devices. P400122WO_20250109 Page 3 | 52 With these devices, the shredded raw material is usually fed into the opening of the smoke sleeve via a hopper directly connected to the grinder's shredding mechanism, and the smoke sleeve is filled with filling material by gravity and centrifugal forces due to the device's tapping. To unload the filled smoke sleeve and thus the finished smoking product, the smoke sleeve, previously loaded and filled from the direction of the hopper, is unloaded back in the direction of the hopper.To load the smoking sleeve as well as to unload the finished smoking product, the device must be opened accordingly and the crushing device removed from the hopper. Furthermore, there are generally a wide variety of crushing devices for other applications, which can be divided into the following categories: 1. Disc grinder: Toothed and perforated discs like a grinder 2. Rotating blades: Usually electronically driven, similar to a mixer 3. Mortar: Using a bowl, the so-called mortar, and a beater or pestle 4. Conical grinder: Mainly used for hard ground material, such as in coffee or pepper mills 5. Warping: The raw material is cut by two warping edges that are moved past each other All of the designs listed under state of the art have certain disadvantages.- Subdivided process steps: Work steps for the self-production of a ready-to-smoke product must usually be carried out without any technical support. If devices are used for self-production, they usually only cover a portion of the required work steps. For example, there are different devices for shredding part of the filling material and yet other devices for rolling or stuffing a ready-to-smoke product. No known device covers the entire spectrum from preparation of the raw materials to consumption. - Electric drive: Existing devices that map the entire process are sometimes very complex and require an electric drive to ensure the speed of the rotating blade and do not have the option of being driven manually. - Intermediate handling: With the various devices, the filling material must be handled.Not only are these transfer processes unnecessary work steps, they also contaminate the environment and your own fingers. - Raw material spectrum: In particular, the entire raw material, for example, consisting of a mixture of tobacco and cannabis, is rarely introduced into the process, processed, and directly mixed. Crushing plants are essentially focused on one type of raw material. Other crushing plants are usually designed for the reduction of hard raw materials such as grains (pepper mill) or beans (coffee). Soft and sometimes resinous raw materials such as cannabis flowers, however, require other methods of reduction, which are usually unsuitable for other raw products such as tobacco. - Susceptibility to errors: With existing equipment, consistent results are often not achievable.- Contamination: Existing devices are often susceptible to contamination, making reliable operation difficult and requiring extensive cleaning after use. US2014 / 0138465 is known from the prior art.This discloses a portable grinder that may comprise: a side cover with internal threads and a cover receiving area, wherein the internal threads are used for connection to central internal threads of a centerpiece; a first grinding piece, one side of which is provided with a plurality of first grinding projections and a plurality of through-holes distributed at various locations between the first grinding projections, and the other side of which has a sieve unit; a centerpiece adapted to receive the first grinding piece and to be connected to a second grinding piece via a bearing; and a second grinding piece having a plurality of second grinding projections opposite the first grinding projections. Substances to be ground are arranged in a second receiving area between the first and second grinding projections.The first and second grinding protrusions of the portable grinder are rotated by the effect of gravity to grind the substances contained therein. US2018 / 0344086 A1 is known from the prior art. This discloses a smoking accessory set for storing and transporting accessories for grinding smoking material and rolling the smoking material. The set comprises a housing with several compartments. A grinder is equipped with a plurality of grinding teeth and a surrounding wall that encloses the grinding teeth. Several lid teeth are connected to and protrude from a top lid. The grinder can be inserted into the top lid to grind plant material. A hopper tapers to a tube section that extends from the base of the hopper. Openings through the grinder allow the ground plant material to be directed through the hopper into the tube section.The tube section is open so that the shredded plant material can be filled into a cigarette paper wrapped around the tube section. US2022 / 0304367 A1 is known from the prior art. This discloses a device for rolling or wrapping materials in an elongated wrapper, as well as associated accessories. This device is for rolling wrappable and smokable or edible material, such as tobacco, herbs, cannabis, or food, into a wrapper, for example, a sheet of paper or algae, suitable for smoking or eating. The device comprises a tube (which may include integrated outer and inner tubes for ease of manufacture) with a rotatable base, a hinged or removable top closure cap, and a hollow, tubular interior.The tube has an elongated side opening that allows the wrapping to be inserted into the interior of the tube. In operation, the base is rotated while the wrapping is inserted and directed towards the interior, where it wraps around the interior. The wrappable material is then inserted into the tubular interior. By rotating the base of the tube, the wrapping is wrapped around the material. Once completed, the wrapped material can be removed from the tube either from the top or bottom. WO2018 / 140635 A1 is known from the prior art. This discloses a compact system for preparing personal smoking products. The system for preparing smokable material includes a wall providing an upper chamber and a lower chamber with a grate between the chambers.The size of the smokable material fed into the upper chamber is reduced using a size reducer to such an extent that it can pass through the grate into the lower chamber as smokable filler material. The lower chamber has an opening for filling smokable material that can escape from the lower chamber. The smokable filler material can then be used to fill a casing or a smokable device. A disadvantage of the known solutions is that the devices disclose the usual basic principle of a disc grinder, in which two concentrically parallel discs equipped with interlocking, offset cutting pins were described. These comminution devices have various disadvantages. Firstly, this comminution principle is characterized by a high degree of contamination, as the material to be crushed sticks in the many small spaces between the cutting pins.Likewise, it is in the nature of the disc grinder that it must be opened and closed again to introduce the raw material so that the raw material gets between the discs and cutting pins. Thus, disc grinders only have a small grinding chamber, which is located radially between the parallel grinding discs. This means that only the material filled at a time can be ground, since no additional raw material can enter the grinder without opening it again. Furthermore, the design of disc grinders dictates that the hopper extends below and away from the disc grinder. P400122WO_20250109 Page 6 | 52 DE102006007237 A1 is known from the prior art. This discloses a device for portioning pourable food or beverages, as well as containers for such food or beverages.The device for portioning pourable food or beverages, for example cut tobacco, coffee powder, or tea, with a storage space for the food or beverage and a portioning device, wherein the storage space is arranged in a can that can be closed by means of a lid, and means for actuating the portioning device are assigned to the lid, wherein the portioning device can be actuated by rotating the lid, characterized in that the food or beverage can be conveyed from the storage space into the portioning chamber by a conveyor element. A disadvantage of the known solutions is that the device has a different comminution mechanism in which a comb is rotated against a comb roller via a gear drive. This comminution method can be classified as warping.Due to the small gaps between the comb and the pinion roller, a high degree of contamination and problems with different raw materials are to be expected. The comb shearing mechanism is driven via a gear transmission by actuating the cover. For this purpose, the cover is only loosely placed so that the internal teeth of the cover engage with the external teeth of the pinion. Description of the invention One object of the invention is to avoid at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art. The aim is to create improved devices which enable all process steps for producing a smoking product. Furthermore, the invention comprises an improved method for producing a smoking product and an improved pilot. This object is achieved by the features of the independent patent claims. Advantageous ones are set out in the figures and in the dependent patent claims.A device according to the invention for producing a smoking product comprises a loader, a comminution unit for comminuting a raw material, and a collecting container, as well as an inner channel for receiving a smoking sleeve. The comminution unit is arranged between the loader and the collecting container. In particular, the inner channel extends centrally within the device. Preferably, the inner channel for receiving the smoking sleeve extends at least partially into the comminution unit. The device covers all process steps for producing a smoking product: producing a smoking sleeve, comminution, mixing, filling, and supports consumption, thus creating an improved device. Consumption is thus improved. Manual handling between the process steps can be dispensed with.The device uses gravity, centrifugal forces, and vibrations, as well as a ram or blowing action, to fill the smoke sleeve and optimally compress the filling material. The device allows for various operating options, in particular for loading and unloading, as well as normal and hollow filling of the smoke sleeve. Additional filling material can be introduced into the filling process from the outside. Preferably, the inner channel for receiving the smoke sleeve extends at least partially into the loader. The smoke sleeve can be unloaded toward the loader, ensuring no raw material is lost and is directly recycled into the circular loading process. The components of the device can be made of plastic and manufactured using a 3D printing process or an injection molding process.This simplifies cleaning the device because it is dishwasher safe and allows for the use of separate cleaning tools. The device can be used as a whole or just in parts. Preferably, a hopper with a hopper surface is provided, whereby the hopper is arranged adjacent to the inner channel. The raw material is fed via the hopper into the smoke sleeve and the blockage in the hopper can be cleared using scrapers. The raw material can be mixed and transported in the process. In addition to granular compaction, the raw material can also be further compacted by tapping using a drop weight or ram. In particular, the hopper extends section by section into the shredding plant. This means that the raw material can be transported directly into the shredding plant and can therefore be processed cleanly.This allows the filling process to be carried out in the opposite direction to the loading process, which additionally helps to reduce the installation space, unlike a tumble hopper independent of the shredding unit. The tumble hopper has a smaller hopper opening and a larger hopper opening, whereby the tumble hopper with its larger hopper opening can be oriented towards the collecting container. The tumble hopper can extend at least partially within the shredding unit and open into the inner channel, in which the smoke sleeve is received. Intermediate handling of the raw material can be dispensed with, and the remaining material is reintroduced into the circular production process. The collecting container preferably has an opening which allows the smoke sleeve, a filling material and in particular a pilot, to be introduced into the inner channel from the outside.This allows smoke tubes and filling material to be inserted into the inner channel from the outside. The opening allows the filling material filled into the smoke tube to be compressed and the opening to be closed using a plunger. The smoking tube and the smoking product can be loaded and unloaded without disassembling the device. Preferably, a storage space for receiving a powder-like raw material is provided, with at least one scattering channel being present in the storage space, which connects the storage space to the collecting container. The device is very efficient because several end products can be produced from a single loading and comminution process, and a quickly repeatable filling process is possible. Preferably, a transmitter is provided, which in particular drives one of the two comminution units from the outside via a handle surface.The drive of the transformer crushes the raw material in the crushing unit in a single process step and drives multiple process stages in parallel, allowing the device to be used with high efficiency. In particular, the transformer drives the inner crushing unit. In particular, the transformer drives a conical piston. Preferably, the crushing unit has a second crushing unit in addition to a first crushing unit. The first crushing unit is used for coarse crushing of the raw material, and the second crushing unit is used for fine crushing of the raw material. The different crushing methods in one device allow the processing of a wide variety of raw material mixtures.The first comminution unit preferably comprises at least one conical piston with a piston surface and at least one annular shell with an inner shell surface, and at least the at least the piston surface or the at least one shell surface has a basic polygonal shape. The conical piston can preferably be rotated radially concentrically to the annular shell. By rotating the at least one conical piston relative to the annular shell, coarse raw materials can be efficiently comminuted.P400122WO_20250109 Page 9 | 52The comminution unit preferably comprises cutting edges. Alternatively or additionally, the comminution unit comprises scrapers. Alternatively or additionally, the comminution unit comprises depressions. In particular, the cutters or scrapers or depressions are at least one from the group of edge scrapers, corner scrapers, external scrapers, agitators, edge cutters, transport cutters, horizontal cutters, swirls, or clearance cutters.The second comminution unit preferably has an inner conical surface and an outer annular surface. This enables efficient comminution of already pre-comminuted raw materials, resulting in finely comminuted filler material. In particular, at least one grinding transport groove is arranged on the conical surface. Alternatively or additionally, at least one cleaning tooth is arranged on the annular surface. Alternatively or additionally, at least one grinding transport groove is arranged on the annular surface. Preferably, at least one height adjustment is provided in order to change at least the axial position of the inner conical surface relative to the outer annular surface. Preferably, at least one marking is provided in order to determine at least the position of a loading channel. In particular, the at least one marking is a groove.An inner core of the shredding mechanism can be driven from the outside, in particular by means of a transformer, and can be rotated radially relative to the outer shredding mechanism. The radial rotational position of the components relative to one another can be indicated by the corrugations on the gripping surface. The corrugations can be used to vertically indicate the radial position from stud to groove on the outer gripping surfaces of the components. This allows the operator to visually read the closure status and the assembly position of the components relative to one another from the outside. The corrugations of the various components also fulfil the function of indicating the position inside the components externally. This is advantageously achieved by a matching radial angular position of the corrugations. The matching of the radial angular position of the corrugations of two connected components relative to one another shows, for example,accordingly, the following applies: - That the loading channel is open so that raw material can be pushed from the filling area into the shredding unit. - That the shredding channel is open, thus creating the greatest possible free space in the shredding unit. The shredding units inside and outside are positioned relative to each other P400122WO_20250109 Page 10 | 52 so that raw material can be optimally loaded. The respective components can be assembled and disassembled using the knobs and grooves. - Conversely, a different angular position of two connected components relative to each other indicates a locked state and the smallest possible exposure in the channels. The aforementioned device designs enable simplified portioning and mixing of several raw product materials, which are then processed simultaneously.The ridges can also improve the grip of the handle surface and, together with the handle surface, fulfill decorative or informative functions. The ridges and other design of the handle surface can also be used to better estimate the total radial rotation of two connected components relative to one another or the total number of rotations performed. In particular, the loader opens or closes the loading channel by radial rotation relative to adjacent components, whereby the radial rotation position of the components relative to one another can be indicated by at least one marking on the outer surface and is limited by stops. Preferably, a filling channel is arranged in the collecting container, with the aid of which the filling material can be filled into the smoke sleeve. The powdered raw material is collected and scattered.Preferably, the collecting container contains a conveying aid for filling the smoke sleeve, which is designed in particular as a scraper rib. The conveying aid assists in such a way that the shredded raw material can be conveyed along the chute towards the inner channel. In particular, a pilot is provided to compress the conveyed filling material. This allows the filling material to be compressed more effectively and an improved smoking product to be produced. A method according to the invention for producing a smoking product with the aid of a device, the device comprising at least one loader, a comminution unit and an inner channel, comprising the following steps: a. filling the raw material into the loader b. comminuting the raw material in the comminution unit c. introducing a smoke sleeve into an inner channel P400122WO_20250109 Page 11 | 52 d. filling the smoke sleeve with filling material e.Unloading the filled smoking sleeve and thus the finished smoking product The method covers all process steps for creating a smoking product: producing the smoking sleeve, chopping, mixing, filling and supports consumption, so that an improved device is created. Consumption is thus improved. Manual handling between the process steps can be dispensed with. This enables a high level of reproducibility in the manufacturing process of the smoking product. Preferably, in step d. the smoking sleeve is filled with filling material by tilting the device through 180°. Preferably, after step b. the smoking sleeve is manufactured. Preferably, after step d. the filling material in the smoking sleeve is compacted.A comminution device according to the invention for comminuting a raw material can comprise not only a first comminution unit but also a second comminution unit, wherein at least one of the two comminution units has a basic polygonal shape. The first comminution unit serves for coarse comminution of the raw material, and the second comminution unit serves for fine comminution of the raw material. The different comminution methods in one device allow the processing of a wide variety of raw material mixtures. Preferably, one of the comminution units has a conical surface. In particular, the first comminution unit and the second comminution unit are connected to one another.A device according to the invention for producing a smoking product comprises a storage space for accommodating a powder-like filling material and a collecting container, with at least one scattering channel connecting the storage space to the collecting container. The device covers all process steps for producing a smoking product: producing the smoking tube, crushing, mixing, filling, and supports consumption, thus creating an improved device. Consumption is thus improved. Manual handling between the process steps can be dispensed with. The device uses gravity, centrifugal forces, and vibrations, as well as a ram or blowing, to fill the smoking tube and optimally compress the filling material. P400122WO_20250109 Page 12 | 52 The device allows for different operating options, in particular loading and unloading, normal and hollow filling of the smoking tube.It is possible to introduce additional filling material from the outside into the filling process. A device according to the invention for producing a smoking product comprises a first component and a second component which are detachably connected to one another, wherein at least one stud is arranged at at least one connection point between the first component and the second component. In order to be able to manufacture the various components using cost-effective mass production methods such as injection molding, a simple stud connection system was developed which dispenses with complex geometries such as threads or separate parts such as magnets. In addition, this connection system must withstand greater physical stress such as knocking and allow quick and easy opening to gain access, while also guaranteeing a reliable closure when closed.The device is easy to open and close. The connection system of the previously mentioned devices is designed to guarantee assembly and operation even when dirty, which can cause problems with some conventional connection systems. Accordingly, a large gap was selected, which allows for less precise running surfaces. To ensure that the components fit tightly and at the same time reduce torsional force even when dirty, the knobs create a point contact on the running surface with closer tolerances. In addition, this locking system is easily accessible and easy to clean. It is also important that the connection system enables easy assembly and disassembly of the components and device. In addition, the connection system offers assembly orientation of the various components to one another with regard to orientation by means of knobs in the groove vertically.During operation, the components are rotated relative to one another, which must be ensured by the connection system. For this to happen, the studs run radially on the groove surface. Grid indentations or protrusions in the groove or running surfaces can provide haptic feedback to the operator that a certain radial rotational position of the components relative to one another has been reached, and this rotational position can be fixed. In addition, such grids can be used to subject the device and components to shock and vibration as the studs move over the grid when the components are rotated, which promotes the transport of the material. The direction of rotation can be specified and the radial rotation limited by respective stops on the groove radially.Other components that do not have to be rotated relative to one another during operation or are to be fixed radially have been provided with a simple external receptacle and internal connection geometries with a large clearance fit. In order to guarantee a secure connection that is easy to release and to obtain a press fit that can be produced using a simple manufacturing process, elevations have been integrated into the preferably slightly conical receptacle and connection surfaces. A mouthpiece according to the invention for consuming a smoking product comprising at least one filter receptacle and a smoke channel, wherein at least one air channel is arranged inclined to the smoke channel. This improves smoking consumption because the mouthpiece can be used as a smoking tip, activated carbon filter receptacle, air inlet and storage area. A pilot according to the invention comprises a plunger, a mouthpiece and a spring. The plunger accommodates the spring and the mouthpiece.Further advantages, features, and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description, in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the drawings.

Figures 2 to 42 show the individual components of the device 50. The conical piston 110 consists of the polygonal basic shape of the piston surface 113, which merges into a conical surface 131. The conical surface 131 merges into a cylindrical outer surface 132 via the annular surface in the chute 137, to which the stirrers 140 are connected.The down funnel ring surface 137 merges within the conical surface 131 into the down funnel surface 138, which ends in the stuffing opening 157. The polygon shape has a contact surface transmitter 111, which merges at the corners of the polygon shape by means of transition edge cutting edges 114 and height adjustment 112 into the edge cutting edge 115. These edge cutting edges 115 start with a transition into the horizontal cutting edge 116 and the transport cutting edge 119. The horizontal cutting edge 116 is released on both sides with a clearance for the running horizontal cutting edge at the top radially 117 and a clearance for the running horizontal cutting edge at the bottom radially 118. The edge cutting edges 115 and transport cutting edge 119 end at the conical shape conical surface 131 by means of a clearance for the running corner scraper radially 130, whereby they also have a clearance for the assembly of the corner scraper vertically 120.The conical surface is characterized by repeating grinding transport grooves 134, which have grinding transport groove inlet 133 towards the piston surface 113 and grinding transport groove outlet 135 towards the outer surface 132. In addition, areas of the grinding transport groove outlet 135 are exposed by the vertical glass scraper assembly clearance 136. Within the piston surface 113, adjacent to the contact surface of the transformer 111 is the transformer receptacle 150, which is provided with a fit 151 and merges into the adjoining storage space 152. The storage space 152 merges in the center into the center receptacle 153, which is provided with a fit 154. The center receptacle 153 terminates with a contact surface 155, which merges into the smoke sleeve retainer 156. Control filling openings 158 are arranged around the receiving center 153.This spreader filling opening 158 leads into spreader channel 159, which ends as spreader outlet opening 139 through the downcomer funnel surface 138. The agitators 140 have an outer scraper 141 on the outer surface 132. Towards the center, the agitators 140 have an agitator shearing surface, funnel inside 145. Opposite the agitator shearing surface, funnel inside 145 is the agitator scraping surface, glass outside 146, which is interrupted by a radial clearance, glass baffle 142 and ends with the transition, receiving net 147 in the agitator front surface 143. In the radial direction, the agitator 140 has an agitator impact surface 144 on both sides. The transmitter 160 has a contact surface, loader 190, on the top, which merges internally into the running surface, loader 161.The running surface of the loader 161 is provided with a nub on the loader 162 and ends in a surface which consists of a rib on the lower channel link 164 and a breakthrough in the lower channel link 163 and has a center opening 165 and a vertical center groove 166 in the center. On the outside, the contact surface of the loader 190 merges into the gripping surface 192 via a loader transition 191, which is provided with a rib 193 and in turn terminates in the contact surface of the outer ring jacket 195 with a transition in the annular casing 194. The breakthrough in the lower channel link 163 merges into the polygon inner geometry 171 on the inside, which is provided at the edges with edge scrapers 173, which merge into edge cutting edges 172, which in turn terminate in the height adjustment 178. On the inside, the height adjustment 178 merges onto the contact surface of the conical piston 177 via a transition in the edge cutting edge 174.The conical piston connection 175 is connected to the contact surface of the conical piston 177, which is provided with a fit 176 and has a clearance on the inside for the storage space 185, which ends above the cone 186 in the center opening 165. The gripping surface 192 has a running surface on the inside, annular casing 179, which is provided with a nub on the annular casing 180 and ends on the lower side of the rib channel link bottom 164 with the contact surface on the inside annular casing 170. The annular casing 200 has an upper contact surface, inside transformer 220, which on the inside merges by means of inlet 202 into the polygonal casing surface inside 201, which merges below into the conical annular surface 212, which ends in the grinding transport annular surface 237.P400122WO_20250109 Page 18 | 52From the top, the transformer 160 and from the bottom, the conical piston 110, the two components are connected within the ring jacket 200 and thus the crushing unit 100 is assembled.The inner circumferential surface 201 is equipped at its edges with edge cutting edges 203 and is interrupted on the circumferential surfaces by swirls 204. The edge cutting edges 203 merge into the corner scraper 210 at the transition to the annular surface 212, which in turn merge into the cleaning tooth 211 on the annular surface 212. The swirls 204 also merge into the clearance assembly horizontal cutting edge vertical 208. The inner circumferential surface 201 is interrupted radially by the clearance run horizontal cutting edge radial 206, which has formations on both sides in the form of horizontal cutting edge top 205 and horizontal cutting edge bottom 207. The annular surface 212 is characterized by repeating grinding transport grooves 214, which have grinding transport groove inlet 213 towards the inner circumferential surface 201 and grinding transport groove outlet 215 towards the grinding transport annular surface 217.Outside, the inner transformer contact surface 220 merges into the transformer running surface 221, which is interrupted by the vertical transformer groove 222. At the end of the vertical transformer groove 222, the transformer running surface 221 is interrupted by the radial transformer groove 223, which can be designed by depressions in the form of a radial transformer grid 224 and by elevations in the form of a radial transformer stop 225. The transformer running surface 221 ends in the outer transformer contact surface 226, which merges via the transformer transition 227 into the gripping surface 228, which is interrupted by a ridge 229. At the end, the gripping surface 228 merges via the glass transition 230 into the glass contact surface 231, which in turn connects to the glass running surface 232, which ends in the grinding transport ring surface 237.The glass running surface 232 is interrupted by a vertical glass groove 233 which ends in the radial glass groove 234, which can be designed with depressions in the form of a radial glass grid 235 and with elevations in the form of a radial glass stop 236. The tubular center 310 has, on the upper end face 320, an internal smoke sleeve receptacle 321 which, having a nub loader 322, can be equipped with a locking geometry 312 and merges into the external sleeve surface 323. The external sleeve surface 323, in turn, merges into a conical piston connection 324, which is provided with a fit 325 and with the conical piston contact surface 326. The conical piston contact surface 326 encloses the plug opening 315 and thus forms the transitionP400122WO_20250109 Page 19 | 52to the interior of the Center 310.The interior of the center 310 is defined by the external smoke sleeve receiving portion 314, which is extended by a through-loading smoke sleeve 313 to the discharge opening 311. The loader 350 is a cylindrical component whose function is to receive raw material. The pitot tube-shaped loader 350 has a loader opening 352 surrounded by the contact surface cover 351, including release fingers 356, which merges internally into the running surface cover 353, which has elevations in the form of knobs on the cover 354. The raw material introduced through the loader opening 352 is guided into the opening of the channel gate top 360 by channel ribs 355, which merge into the gate inlet ribs 358 and finally the channel gate top rib 361.In the center, the loader 350 has a center opening 370, which ends in the sleeve support front loader 357 and is divided by a vertical center groove 371 that extends to the radial center groove 372, which in turn is interrupted by depressions in the form of radial center grids 373 and elevations in the form of radial center stops 374. The outer surface of the loader 350 has a gripping surface 381 that adjoins the contact surface of the cover 351, is connected by means of the cover transition 380, is interrupted by ridges 382 and transitions to the contact surface of the transformer 384 and the adjoining running surface of the transformer 385 by means of the transformer transition 385. The running surface of the transformer 385 is divided by a vertical transformer groove 386 which extends to the radial transformer groove 387, which in turn is interrupted by depressions in the form of a radial transformer grid 388 and elevations in the form of a radial transformer stop 389.If the connection geometries are selected to be round, the fits can also create a desired torsional resistance, which leads to a higher necessary torsional force, which can be used for locking, for example, in conjunction with fit 325 of the center 310, center receptacle 153 of the conical piston 110 and center radial stop 374 of the loader 350. In this case, the loader 350 is rotated after vertical assembly, whereby the "374 center radial stop" in the center radial groove 372 of the loader 350 causes the center 310 to be rotated via its nub on the loader 322 to the conical piston 110 and its center receptacle 153. In this case, the radial position of the vertical center groove 371 of the loader 350 is rotated relative to the loader knob 322 of the center 310, so that when simply turning back to the assembly position, the loader knob 322 of the center 310 does not rotate due to the clearance in the radial grooves of the loader 350.In conjunction with the external connection system between the radial groove of the loader and the nub loader 162 of the transmitterP400122WO_20250109 Page 20 | 52160, despite the open assembly position of the grooves 193 and 382, the groove radial transmitter 387 of the loader 350 and the nub loader 162 of the transmitter 160 due to a locked position of the inner nub loader 322 of the center 310 to the thus radially rotated groove center vertical 371 of the loader 350, the loader 350 cannot be dismantled due to the retention by the holder center 153 of the conical piston 110. In order to release this lock again and thus align the knob loader 322 of the center 310 again with the groove center vertical 371 of the loader 350, by designing the groove transmitter radial 387 of the loader 350 in interaction with the knob loader 162 of the transmitter 160, the loader 350 can be rotated in the opposite direction to the locking.This causes the center 310 to be rotated back into its assembly position using its nub on the loader 322. If the loader 350 is now rotated back into its assembly position relative to the transmitter 160, the nub on the loader 322 of the center 310 is again aligned with the vertical center groove 371 of the loader 350, thus unlocking the connection. Alternatively, the mouthpiece 550 can rotate the center 310 using the locking geometry 312 to the conical piston 110 using the locking geometry 556, thus being used as a locking tool. The glass 410 is a tubular component whose function is to radially hold filler material.The tubular glass 410 has a radial running surface, ring shell 411, which rests on the inside of the contact surface of the ring shell 430 and which has elevations in the form of knobs on the ring shell 412 and merges into the radial running surface of the stirrer 415, which in the upper area has elevations in the form of conical scrapers 413 and outer scrapers 414 and in the middle area has elevations in the form of the radial chicane 416, which is interrupted by a vertical baffle stirrer 417. The running surface of the stirrer 415 ends with the receptacle net 419, which at the bottom has the contact surface net 418 and then merges into the radial running surface, inner funnel 421, which can contain elevations in the form of knobs on the funnel 422 and a gear iris 420 geometry and ends with the contact surface, inner funnel 438. The outer surface of the glass 410 has a gripping surface 432 adjoining the contact surface of the ring jacket 430, which is connected by means of the transition ring jacket 431.The gripping surface is interrupted by ridges 433, whose surfaces may include a fill level indicator 435. The gripping surface 432 transitions via a funnel transition 434 to the outer funnel contact surface 436, which is connected to the outer funnel radial running surface 437, which in turn terminates with the inner funnel contact surface 438. P400122WO_20250109 Page 21 | 52 The mesh 440 is an annular disc whose function is to filter powder material from the filler material. The annular disc mesh 440 has a top mesh surface 441 and a bottom mesh surface 445 arranged parallel to it, which are connected to each other externally via the glass connection surface 442. In the center, the mesh 440 has an opening for the funnel connection 443, in which the scraper rib connection 444 is also integrated.The funnel 460 is a funnel-shaped component whose function is to axially collect filler and powder material, ensure transport in the filling channel, and enable loading and filling from the outside through the funnel. The funnel-shaped funnel 460 has a base 476 at the bottom, which also includes a contact surface for the lid 473 and is surrounded on the outside by the gripping surface 491, which in turn contains ridges 492. In the center, the base 476 has an opening in the form of the filling funnel outer 471, which terminates with the mouthpiece 472 and merges into the pilot opening 470. The grip surface 491 is adjoined by the projection 490 and the contact surface glass outside 488 by means of the transition glass 489, and has a radial groove glass radial 483, which are characterized by the walls of the radial running surface glass outside 487 and the parallel radial running surface glass inside 481, both of which end in the contact surface glass inside 486.The inner glass contact surface 481 merges at the top into the outer mesh contact surface 465 and is divided by a vertical glass groove 482 which extends to the inner glass contact surface 486. The radial glass groove 483 is interrupted by depressions in the form of radial glass grid 484 and elevations in the form of radial glass stop 485. The outer mesh contact surface 465 is at the same height as the inner mesh contact surface 480, with the pollen collector 466 located between the two surfaces, above which the release stirrer 463 is located. In the area of the pollen collector 466, an iris receiving pivot point 474 and an iris opening 475 through the outer filling funnel 471 can be integrated. Ribs extend along the outer filling funnel 471 and the pilot opening 470, which terminate on the side of the stirrer release 463 with the scraper rib of the stirrer radial 462 and upwards with the scraper rib of the downcomer 461.The fill channel 464 is open between the upper tip of the scraper rib of the downcomer 461 and the upper end of the pilot aperture 470. P400122WO_20250109 Page 22 | 52. The plunger 510 is a cylindrical component of the pilot assembly 500, whose function is to produce, load, and unload smoke tubes, as well as to transport raw and filler material, and to assist in cleaning the device. The cylindrical plunger 510 has a butt surface 511 at the top, to which the radial filter jacket surface 512 adjoins. This surface is provided with a fill level indicator 513 and merges with the contact surface of the mouthpiece 514 and then into the mouthpiece connection 515, which is provided with a fit 516 and terminates with the end face 520. In the center, the plunger has an opening in the form of the spring receptacle 517 starting from the end face 520, which is provided with a fit 518 and ends in the contact surface of the spring 519.The spring 530 is a rod-shaped component whose function is to give the pilot 500 additional weight and is used both for filling the smoke tube and for cleaning the device. The rod-shaped spring 530 has a surface 532 that ends in the tip 531 on one side and in the end 533 on the opposite side. The mouthpiece 550 is a tubular component of the pilot 500 assembly whose function is to produce, load, and unload smoke tubes, as well as to transport raw and filling material and to assist in the consumption of the finished smoking product. The tubular mouthpiece 550 has a contact surface, tappet 551, on the top, which merges into the tappet receptacle 552, which is provided with a fit 553 and further merges into the top filter receptacle 554.The upper filter receptacle 554 then passes through the smoke channel 560, which is provided with an air hole 561, into the lower filter receptacle 577, which terminates with the control pressure surface 575. The control pressure surface 575 has a laying surface 576 on the outside, which also contains the retraction 574. The retraction 574 then passes into the connection funnel 571, which is provided with a fit 572, merges into the lower casing surface 570, and terminates with the sleeve groove radially 559. The groove of the rib cover 573 extends between the actuating pressure surface 557 and the radial sleeve groove 559. Between the radial sleeve groove 559 and the contact surface of the plunger 551 extends the sleeve surface 557, which contains a vertical sleeve groove 558 and ends at the top in theP400122WO_20250109 Page 23 | 52surface of the mouthpiece 555, which can have a locking geometry 556.The lid 610 is a component of the closure assembly 600, whose function is to hold the smoke sleeve in the tilted position and to collect excess filler and raw material, as well as to provide a stop surface for tapping. The lid 610 has a tilt-tapping surface 611 on top, which is surrounded on the outside by the gripping surface 633, which in turn contains ridges 634. In the center, the tilt-tapping surface 611 has a recess for the loader assembly 612, which merges into the correspondingly recessed contact surface for the loader 613, which in turn has an opening in the form of the loader receptacle 614 and ends in the smoke sleeve opening 629. The radial receiving loader 614 surface is divided with groove loader vertical 615 which extends up to the groove loader radial 616, which in turn is interrupted with depressions in the form of grid loader radial 617, as well as elevations in the form of stop loader radial 618.The gripping surface 633 is connected by means of the loader transition 632 to the projection 630 and the loader contact surface 631, which then merges into the loader running surface 635, which in turn is subdivided by the vertical loader groove 636, which extends to the radial loader groove 637, which in turn is interrupted by depressions in the form of the radial loader grid 638, as well as elevations in the form of the radial loader stop 639. The loader running surface 635 merges at the bottom into the collecting edge 621 of the collecting tray 622. In the center, the collecting tray 622 merges into the cone 623, which at its highest point represents the rib root 625 and from which the rib 624 emerges. The rib 624 has a rib tip 626 at the bottom, which merges externally into the contact surface of the funnel 620 and internally into the shell holder 627. Retractors 628 can be provided on the side of the rib tip 626.The loader 650 is a component of the closure assembly 600, whose function is to hold the smoke sleeve on the filter and enable both front loading and hollow filling. The loader 650 has a support surface 651 at the top, which has a breakthrough in the center for the spring holder 653, which has a fit 654 and transitions via the filter contact surface 655 into the radial filter holder 656. P400122WO_20250109 Page 24 | 52 On the parallel opposite side of the support surface 651 is the contact surface cover 652, which transitions into the radial connection cover 657, which in turn has a nub cover 658. Figure 43 shows the channels in the device according to Figure 1. Channels are free spaces between and within components through which, for example, raw and filling materials, as well as smoke sleeves and other components and assemblies, can be received and moved. Figure 43 also shows possibilities for rotating the components of the device according to Figure 1 relative to each other.These twists are initiated, for example, via the grip surfaces and cause the comminution process to be driven by twisting 5 (grinding). The sleeve channel 11 is located between the smoke sleeve opening 629 of the lid 610. By twisting 1 (front loading), the sleeve channel 11 is released by dismantling the loader 650 and is used to load the smoke sleeve and unload the filled smoke sleeve and thus the finished smoking product. The loading channel 12 is located between the transmitter 160 and loader 350 and can be closed and opened by twisting 4 (loading channel) of these components against each other using the opening 4 (bottom channel guides) 163 and the opening 4 (top channel guides) 360, or raw material can also be sharpened in the process. The comminution channel 13 is located in the comminution unit 100 between the inner comminution unit 101 and the ring casing 200.Due to the rotation 5 grinding, the free space of the comminution channel 13 is changed due to the intermeshing geometries of the components, the transmitter 160 and the conical piston 110, relative to the annular casing 200. The comminution channel 13 then offers the greatest possible free space and is therefore considered open when the surfaces of the inner polygon geometry, piston surface 113 of the conical piston 110, are opposite the edge of the outer polygon geometry and the central vortex 204 of the annular casing 200. In particular, in the open position of the comminution channel 13, all other interfering geometries, such as the horizontal cutting edge 116 of the conical piston 110 or the corner scraper 210 of the annular casing 200, should be oriented at a radial angle so that they engage as little as possible in the comminution channel 13. For this purpose, it is recommended that these interference geometries are oriented below the rib channel backdrop bottom 164 of the transformer 160 when open.The inner channel 14 is located between the stuffing opening 156 of the conical piston 110 and the discharge opening 311 of the center 310 within the center 310. The smoke sleeve and the filling material are moved through the inner channel 14 primarily by the pilot 500 but also by gravity and centrifugal forces from the knocking.P400122WO_20250109 Page 25 | 52The smoke channel 15 is located within the mouthpiece 550 in the smoke channel component 560 and has the task of transporting the inhaled smoke from the lower intake filter 577 and the burning finished smoking product to the upper intake filter 554 during consumption. The grinding channel 16 is located between the conical surface 131 of the conical piston 110 and the annular surface 212 of the annular jacket 200. Due to the rotation 5 grinding, the raw material is moved along the grinding channel 16 by gravity as well as the grinding transport groove 134 and 214 as well as the cleaning tooth 211.The scattering channel 17 is located in the conical piston 110 and connects the storage space 152 of the conical piston 110 with the collecting container 400. By gravity and centrifugal forces of the tapping movement, the powdered filler material is moved through the scattering channel 17 and mixed with the remaining filler material. The outer channel 18 is located between the outer surface 132 of the conical piston 110 and the running surface of the stirrer 415 of the glass 410. The filling material is moved through the outer channel 18 by the rotation 5 grinding and rotation 6 scraping. The filling channel 19 is located in the inner area of the collecting container 400 and the funnel surface 138 of the conical piston 110. Its task is to transport the filling material into the inner channel 14. The filling channel clearance 464 of the funnel 460 is the bottleneck of the filling channel 19 and thereby determines the amount of filling material that is transported in portions into the loaded smoke sleeve during falling, scraping and stuffing.The transport of the filler material is assisted by rotating 6 scrapers. The pilot channel 20 is located in the area of the outer filling funnel 471 of the funnel 460 and merges into the filling channel 19 and then the inner channel 14. Its function is to introduce additional filler material from the outside into the stuffing process and allows the pilot to be introduced from the outside for breech loading of the smoke sleeve and stuffing the filler material into the main device, as well as to eject the filled smoke sleeve by rear unloading. Front loading 1 is achieved by turning the loader 650 toward the lid 610. Closing 2 is achieved by turning the loader 350 and the lid 610. Locking 3 is achieved by turning the loader 350 toward the center 310. Opening or closing 4 of the loading channel is achieved by turning the transformer 160 toward the loader 350. Grinding (breaking loose, crushing, transporting, mixing) 5 is achieved by turning the transformer 160 toward the ring shell 200.Scraping (opening and closing, scraping filling material onto the chute toward the plugging aperture) 6 is performed by rotating the glass 410 toward the annular casing 200. Furthermore, the iris or the pollen collector 7P400122WO_20250109 Page 26 | 52 can be opened by rotating the funnel 460 toward the glass 410. Finally, unloading 8 is performed by rotating the lid 610 toward the mouthpiece 550. The following activities describe other manual activities besides rotating that are used in handling the device and its assemblies and components. Pushing: During pushing, the raw material is ground by means of the pushing surface 511 of the pilot 500 by applying pressure from above on the actuating pressure surface 575 in the home position with the loading channel 12 closed, and the raw material is pushed into the comminution device 100 with the loading channel 12 open. Tapping: Tapping describes the abrupt placement of the main device on a work surface.The main device can be tapped both in the home position on the support surface 476 of the collecting container 400 and in the down position on the down knocking surface 611 of the closure 600. The tap shakes the entire device and triggers centrifugal forces in the raw and filler material. Tapping in the home position with the collecting container 400 pointing downwards essentially helps to move the raw material through the main device from the loader 350 towards the collecting container 400. In addition, the tap in the home position also transports the powder material contents of the storage space 152 through the scattering channel 17 into the collecting container 400. Tapping in the down position with the closure 600 pointing downwards essentially helps to transport the filler material from the collecting container 400 via the filling channel 19 into the inner channel 14 and thus the loaded smoke sleeve.In particular, the vibration of the main device caused by the tapping motion also helps to granularly compact the filler material. The effect of the tapping in the tumbling position can be further amplified by the pilot 500 in the pilot channel 20, filling channel 19, and inner channel 14. Here, the pilot 500 serves as a freely vibrating compression mass. Tumbling: Tumbling is a fundamental activity in the operation of this device. In this all-encompassing device, due to the optimization of the installation space, two-sided operation was selected: from the top side of the closure 600 and the bottom side of the collecting container 400, corresponding to the respective process steps, thus transporting raw material downwards and filler material upwards. However, these processes could also be implemented in the same direction.The device is placed on the work surface as abruptly as possible by tapping, which, in addition to the gravitational forces, transports the filling material due to centrifugal forces and compacts it into granules. During the tipping, the device, which in its home position stands on the support surface 476 of the hopper 460 on the work surface, is turned over so that the device now stands upside down on the tipping surface 611 of the lid 610 on the work surface.P400122WO_20250109 Page 27 | 52In the home position, with the upper end of the closure 600 facing upwards, the process steps of loading, reducing size, and transport take place from top to bottom. Likewise, in the home position, the process steps of loading and unloading take place from bottom to top. In the fall position with the lower end of the collecting container 400 oriented upwards, the process steps of filling, plugging, scraping, refilling and unloading take place from top to bottom.Plugging: During plugging, the filling material is plugged through the filling channel 19 into the inner channel 14 and thus into the smoke sleeve by means of the abutment surface 511 of the pilot 500 and pressure is applied to the actuating pressure surface 575 when the main device is in the down position through the pilot channel 20 of the funnel 460. Blowing: Air can also be blown in through the pilot channel 20. This air flow also transports the filling material from the pilot channel 20 into the inner channel 14 and thus into the smoke sleeve. Portioning and storage: Raw material or smoke sleeves as well as finished smoking product can also be stored and transported in the open loading channel 12. Fill level indicator for crushing: The fill level of the collecting container 400 can be seen on the outer surface of the glass 410, and the fill level indicator 435, for example in the form of markings, can be used to estimate how many fillings of a smoke sleeve the fill material is sufficient for.Overflow: An overfill of the collecting container 400 is indicated by the filling material falling through the pilot opening 470 of the funnel 460 from the collecting container 400 in the form of an overflow through the pilot channel 20. Plug fill level indicator: When plugging, the fill level indicator 513 on the outer surface of the plunger 510 or the mouthpiece 550 can be used to estimate when the impact surface 511, which rests on the plugged fill material in the smoke sleeve, has reached the correct height relative to the support surface 476 so that the smoke sleeve is completely filled. Storage space: Between the conical piston 110 and the center 310 there is a hollow space which can be used to store filling or packaging material. In particular, this storage space 152 can be used to store powder-like fill material, which then flows into the collecting container 400 through the spreader channel 158.P400122WO_20250109 Page 28 | 52Closing: When operating the main device, especially during tipping and tapping, openings should be closed to ensure that no raw or filling material escapes from the main device. Center: The discharge opening 311 of the center 310 should be blocked during loading by the pilot 500 so that the pilot 500 is inserted into the center 310 with the impact surface 511 facing forward. This prevents the raw material from landing in the discharge opening 311 of the center 310 during loading. Furthermore, this prepares the pilot 500 for the following loading process step, and the center 310 protruding from the loader 350 can serve as a stop when loading the raw material. Loading channel: In order to prevent the loaded raw material from falling back into the loader 350 from the shredding unit 100 when in the falling position, the loading channel 12 can be closed by turning the 4 loading channel.Closure: The closure 600 can be used to close the loader opening 352, allowing both raw material from the loading channel 12 and filler material from the inner channel 14 to be collected in the collecting tray 622. The closure 600 also serves to hold the filter area of the smoke sleeve by means of the filter holder 655 and provides a stable knocking surface 611 for knocking. Filling funnel opening: The pilot channel 20 can be closed at the pilot opening 470 of the funnel 460 using the pilot 500. The funnel connection 571 and the fit 572 of the pilot 500 are wedged with the pilot opening 470 of the funnel 460. During the knocking and knocking of the main device, the pilot opening 470 should be blocked using the operator's finger or the iris 450 to ensure that no filler material can escape through the pilot channel 20. The Iris 450 can be closed by twisting 7 Iris.Crushing: The comminution of the raw material into filler material is achieved by rotating or grinding the transfer member 160 relative to the annular casing 200. This changes the free spaces in the crushing channel 13 between the internal crushing mechanism 101 and the annular casing 200; additionally, different cutting edges with interlocking geometries mesh with one another. Mortaring: When the loading channel 12 is closed by rotating or closing the loader 350 relative to the transfer member 160, so that the breakthrough channel (top channel 360) and the rib channel (bottom channel 164) overlap, as in portioning, the raw material can be mortared and thus pre-reduced by crushing it against the counter surface (rib channel 164) of the pilot 500. Shearing: By twisting 4 closing between loader 350 relative to transformer 160, the breakthrough channel gates above 360 shear past the breakthrough channel gates below 163.In this case, raw material which is located in the area of the breakthrough channel scenes is sharpened and thus divided into an upper part, towards the loader 350, and a lower part, towards the comminution device 100. Polygon: The basic polygon shapes of the piston surface 113 and the polygon inner geometry 171 to the outer surface 201 change the free spaces in the shape of the comminution channel 13 from minimal when the two piston surfaces 113 to the outer surface 201 are oriented parallel to one another, to maximum when the edges of the cutting edges 115 to the outer surface 201 or likewise the piston surface 113 to the edges of the cutting edge 203 are oriented. The piston surface 113 and the outer surface 201 can also be designed convex or concave. Preferably, the basic polygon shapes have a taper so that the free spaces between the comminution device inside 101 and the annular jacket 200 are larger at the top towards the loader 350 and become smaller towards the bottom towards the collecting container 400.Furthermore, the basic polygon shapes can be rotated or offset along the piston surface 113 and the outer surface 201, resulting in improved transport efficiency and additional shearing edges. Through rotation 5 grinding, raw material located in the comminution channel 13 is squeezed and thus crushed. Cutting edges: Cutting edges 115, 172, and 203 run from the corners of the polygon shapes along their edges. These cutting edges are moved by rotation 5 grinding along the corresponding counter-polygon surfaces such as the piston surface 113 and the polygon inner geometry 171, as well as the outer surface 201. Likewise, the cutting edges are guided past the parallel opposite edges of cutting edges 115, 172, and 203 of the counter-shape, as well as the transport cutting edge 119 and the vortex 204, through rotation 5 grinding.This additionally helps to narrow the free spaces of the shredding unit, whereby the raw material is crushed, sheared and transported vertically.P400122WO_20250109 Page 30 | 52Horizontal cutting edges: In contrast to edge cutting edges, horizontal cutting edges 116 can engage in the geometry of the counter-form. This is realized in the form of depressions which have a double-sided counter-cutting geometry such as the radial horizontal cutting edge 206 or a one-sided counter-cutting geometry such as elevations in the form of corresponding counter-horizontal cutting edges 205 and 207. The counter-horizontal cutting edges can also meet a counter-cutting geometry through the horizontal cutting edge 117 and 118. Accordingly, the horizontal cutting edge only takes up a single area vertically and does not extend across the entire polygon geometry like the edge or transport cutting edges.Both the depressions and the elevations of the counter-shape are not radially continuous, but interrupted. This creates different sharpening edges between the horizontal cutting edges and their counter geometry. These horizontal cutting edges help to divide the raw material horizontally. Transport cutting edges: Transport cutting edge 119 runs diagonally across the piston surface 113 and the outer surface 201. By twisting 5 grinding, the transport cutting edge 119 is sharpened at the opposite sharpening geometries, the polygon outer surfaces as well as the edges and transport cutting edges. The raw material is sharpened by twisting 5 grinding and is pressed downwards towards the collecting container 400 and thus transported. Vortex: The piston surface 113 and the outer surface 201 can be interrupted by indentations such as vortex 204 in the form of a groove.The vortex 204 helps to churn up the raw material, which is brushed over the counter surfaces of the piston surface 113 and the outer surface 201 by means of edge and transport cutting by twisting 5 during grinding. This prevents the raw material from simply sliding over the counter surfaces, but is held back and reduced in size. Grinding: A radial grinding channel 16 exists between the conical surface 131 and the annular surface 212. This channel is interrupted by radially repeated depressions in the form of the grinding transport grooves 134 and 214, creating an interlocking conical surface 131 and annular surface 212. The grinding transport groove 134 and 214 starts with the grinding transport groove inlet 133 and 213, which forms the transition from polygenic piston surface 113 to conical surface 131 and transition from polygenic shell surface inside 201, and ends with the grinding transport groove outlet 135 and 215, which forms the transition from conical surface 131 to outer surface 132 and ring surface 212 to grinding transport ring surface 237.By combining a diagonal arrangement corresponding to the direction of rotation of the grinding transport groove 134 and an opposite diagonal arrangement of the grinding transport groove 214, the transport effect between the conical surface 131 and the outer surface 201 of the raw material downwards toward the collecting container 400 can be improved. The raw material is rolled in the grinding channel 16 between the conical surface 131 and the annular surface 212 and by the toothing of the grinding transport grooves 134 and 214, and thereby crushed. This crushing and transport effect of the grinding process is further enhanced by the corner scraper 210 for the pre-grinding stage and the cleaning tooth 211 for the fine grinding stage.Height adjustment: Depending on the relative radial connection angle between the transmitter 160 and the conical piston 110, differently arranged height adjustment stops 112 and 178 are achieved, thereby in particular influencing the free space of the grinding channel 16, as well as the distance between the non-parallel inner and outer polygon shape, which can thereby influence the comminution channel 13. Transport: The raw material is transported from the top loader 350 via loading channel 12, comminution channel 13, grinding channel 16 and outer channel 18 downwards towards the collecting container 400. Due to the force of gravity, the comminuted raw material falls in the basic position into the comminution device 100 and finally the collecting container 400. This is additionally intensified by centrifugal forces caused by knocking or abrupt setting down of the main device.Likewise, the twisting (grinding) through different contact points and their rubbing against each other shakes the entire device, preventing the raw and fill material from sticking. In addition, there are different components and functions that ensure transport geometrically and mechanically. Pushing: When the loading channel 12 is opened by twisting (closing) between the loader 350 relative to the transmitter 160, so that the breakthrough channel of the upper gate 360 and the breakthrough channel of the lower gate 163 lie on top of each other, the raw material can be pushed into the comminution mechanism 100 through the impact surface 511 of the pilot 500, similar to mortaring. Scraping: By twisting (grinding), diagonal scraper geometries are moved radially in their release positions, which leads to the transport of the raw materials downwards. Different scraper types are available for this purpose.Edge scrapers: Edge scrapers 173 form the transition from the rib channel gates bottom 164 to the edge cutting edges 172. The inclined scraping surface of the edge scrapers 173 presses the raw material downwards towards the collecting container 400 when rotated 5 times. Corner scrapers: Corner scrapers 210 are responsible for transporting the transition from the piston surface 113 to the conical surface 131. By rotating 5 times, the corner scrapers 210 are moved over the conical surface 131 and the grinding grooves inlet and outlet 133, 134 and 135. By an inclined shape corresponding to the opposite direction of rotation of the corner scraper 210, this transport effect along the conical surface 131 of the raw material downwards towards the collecting container 400 can be improved.In order to mount the corner scraper 210 past the transport cutting edge 119 and other geometries vertically into the assembly position in the clearance for the radial corner scraper run 130, the transport cutting edge 119 and other geometries are released using the clearance for the vertical corner scraper assembly 120. Cleaning tooth: Ideally, the corner scraper 210 merges into the cleaning tooth 211. The cleaning tooth 211 thus interrupts the grinding transport groove 214. The cleaning tooth 211 has the task of transporting the raw material over the conical surface 131 and its grinding transport groove 134 up to the transition of the conical surface 131 to the outer surface 132 in the direction of the collecting container 400. This can also be regarded as a fine grinding stage, since the protrusion of the cleaning tooth 211 reduces the grinding channel 16. Conical scraper: The conical scraper 413 is a component of glass 410 and engages in the grinding channel 16 between the conical surface 131 and the annular surface 212.Here, when rotated 5, the conical scraper 413 supports the toothed conical surface 131, which rotates radially past the conical scraper 413 after the cleaning tooth 211, in conveying the raw material into the outer channel 18 and finally into the collecting container 400. In order to mount the vertical glass scraper assembly release 136 past the outer surface 132 and other geometries vertically into the assembly position, the conical scrapers 413 and other geometries are released using the vertical glass scraper assembly release 120. Outer scraper: The outer scraper 141 is located on the outer surface 132 and narrows the outer channel 18 between the outer surface 132 and the running surface of the agitator 415 and forms a shearing edge against the outer scraper 414. Ideally, the outer scraper 141 merges into the agitator 140.Here, the outer scraper 141 assists in the task of preventing filler material from adhering to the running surface of the agitator 415 during rotation 5 during grinding, thus keeping the outer channel 18 clear and conveying the filler material into the collecting container 400. The outer scraper 414 is located on the running surface of the agitator 415 and narrows the outer channel 18 between the outer surface 132 and the running surface of the agitator 415, forming a shearing edge against the outer scraper 141. Ideally, the outer scraper 141 merges into the conical scraper 413. Here, the outer scraper 414, during rotation 5 grinding, supports the task of preventing filler material from adhering to the outer surface 132 and thus keeping the outer channel 18 clear and conveying the filler material into the collecting container 400.P400122WO_20250109 Page 33 | 52 Chicane: The chicane 416 is the final step in the transport of raw material to filler material in the collecting container 400.Due to the slope of the baffle 416, the fill material falls by gravity through the outer channel 18 into the collecting container 400. Additionally, the fill material is transported over the baffle 416 by the agitators 140, which may have a radial baffle 142 clearance. The primary purpose of the baffle 416 is to prevent the fill material from falling back into the comminution unit 100 via the outer channel 18 when in the downturn position and to instead direct the fill material onto the downturn hopper surface 138. The baffle 416 can be interrupted with a vertical baffle agitator clearance 417, thereby bringing the agitators 140 vertically into the assembly position.Mixing: The filler material is collected and mixed in the collecting container 400. In addition to the filler material that lands in the collecting container 400 via the outer channel 18 from the shredding unit 100, powdered filler material also enters the collecting container 400 from the storage space 152 via the spreading channel 17. In order to mix this filler material homogeneously, it is loosened and transported. Spreading: Powdered filler material can be stored in the storage space 152 between the wall of the conical piston 110 and the outer sleeve surface 323 of the center 310. This powdered filler material falls through the spreading channel 17 into the collecting container 400 due to tapping of the device, by abruptly placing the device on the support surface 476, due to gravity, centrifugal forces, and vibration, and is thus added to the filler material mixture.Agitator: The agitator, which consists of stirrer 140 of the conical piston 110 and the scraper ribs of the radial stirrer 462 of the funnel 460, moves the stirrers 140 past the scraper ribs of the radial stirrer 462 by rotating (6 scraping) or rotating (5 grinding), whereby all the filling material within the filling channel 19 and the collecting container 400 above the mesh 440 is mixed and loosened. Production: The smoke sleeves, which are usually purchased pre-produced, can be produced using the Pilot 500 instead of being purchased. The production of the smoke sleeve is supported by the following functions of the Pilot 500. Cutting to length: In order to cut papers (rectangular paper strips with a longitudinal adhesive point) from a paper roll to the correct length, the mouthpiece 550 can be sent with a radial sleeve groove 559, which is arranged at the correct distance from the butt surface 511.P400122WO_20250109 Page 34 | 52Shapes: By wrapping the cut paper around the Pilot 500 and vertically along the sleeve groove 558, the back of the paper's adhesive point is wrapped around the sleeve surface 557 of the Pilot 500 and gluing the paper by moistening the adhesive point at the adhesive point. Especially with conical smoke sleeves, it is important that the adhesive point is glued diagonally along the sleeve groove 558 vertically so that the smoke sleeve has a straight loading opening. Positioning the filter: Then, the filter is inserted into the previously produced hollow paper sleeve using the butt surface 511 of the Pilot 500 and pushed into position. Compatibility: The shape of the Pilot 500 and the Center 310 are largely determined by the shape of the smoke sleeve.The compatibility of these components can also be designed so that only specific smoke sleeves can be produced and filled with them in order to ensure brand loyalty. Loading describes the process of loading a smoke sleeve into the device before the subsequent stuffing process. There are different options for this depending on the design. Rear loading: With the rear loading loading technique, the smoke sleeve is loaded by means of the abutment surface 511 of the pilot 500, on which the filter of the smoke sleeve rests, through the pilot channel 20 consisting of the pilot opening 470 of the funnel 460, the stuffing opening 157 of the conical piston 110 and the stuffing opening 315 of the center 310 from below into the center 310 and thus the inner channel 14, so that the smoke sleeve is loaded between the contact surface of the filter 655 and the smoke sleeve retainer 156 and is held radially by the smoke sleeve holder on the outside 314.This position can be achieved when the actuating pressure surface 575 of the pilot 500 is at the same vertical height as the setting surface 476 of the funnel 460. For this purpose, the actuating pressure surface 575 and the setting surface 476 can be placed on the same work surface. Center loading: With the center loading loading technique, the smoke sleeve is loaded by means of the abutment surface 511 of the pilot 500, on which the filter of the smoke sleeve rests, through the plug opening 315 of the center 310. For this, the center 310 or preferably the filling area 300 assembly must be removed from the device; for this purpose, the connection to the center receptacle 153 of the conical piston 110 is loosened. After the smoke sleeve has been loaded into the inner channel 14, the filling area 300 assembly including the smoke sleeve is reinserted into the device. Front loading: With the front loading technique, the smoke tube with the filling opening is placed over the smoke tube holder inside 321 of the Center 310.Likewise, the cover 610 without the loader 650 is then inserted over the smoke sleeve via the smoke sleeve opening 629 on the filter side and placed onto the loader 350. The sleeve holders 627 clamp the smoke sleeve onto the internal smoke sleeve receptacle 321 in the sleeve channel 11. Filling: The filling process step describes how the filling material from the collecting container 400 is transported and compacted into the smoke sleeve through the interaction of various activities via the filling channel 19 into the inner channel 14. First, the main device is tilted, whereby the filling material passes through the filling channel 19 via the tumbler surface 138 through the plug opening 157 of the conical piston 110 by means of gravitational and centrifugal forces into the loaded smoke sleeve within the inner channel 14. The material is then tamped using the impact surface 511 of the pilot 500 and also compacted by tapping the device with and without the pilot 500.In a further step, by twisting 6 scraping, the scraping ribs of the downcomer funnel are guided radially 461 along the downcomer surface 138 of the conical piston 110 and through the opening in the filling channel 464 of the funnel 460. In the process, the filling material that has not yet fallen through the stuffing opening 157 of the conical piston 110 into the smoke sleeve is conveyed towards the sleeve opening and then compressed again with the impact surface 511 of the pilot 500 and tapping of the device. This scraping and stuffing process is repeated until the smoke sleeve is completely filled with filling material, until the fill level indicator 513 of the pilot 500 is at the level of the support surface 476 of the funnel 460. This indicates that the pilot with the impact surface 511 in the area of the stuffing opening 157 is resting on the filling material of a fully filled smoke sleeve.In addition, using the outer filling funnel 471 of the funnel 460, it is possible to introduce filling material directly from the outside into the filling process, bypassing the previous process steps. Hollow plug: Hollow plug is a special form of filling. Here, the end 533 of the spring 530 is received in the spring receptacle 653 of the loader 650 and the spring 530 is guided through the filter of the loaded smoke sleeve. This causes the tip 531 of the spring 530 to protrude in the area of the plugging opening 157 of the conical piston 110. The filling process differs in that instead of the entire pilot 500, only the mouthpiece 550 is used to plug the filling material. Here, the spring is received in the smoke channel 15 of the mouthpiece 550 and the filling material is compressed around the spring 530 in the smoke sleeve.This creates an air channel within the filling material of the filled smoke sleeve of the finished smoke product, which changes the smoking behavior due to the chimney effect created. Unloading: The filled smoke sleeve of the finished smoke product can be unloaded using various unloading techniques from the inner channel 14 of the center 310 or the sleeve channel 11 of the cover 610 of the main device. P400122WO_20250109 Page 36 | 52 Rear unloading: With the rear unloading technique, the device in the tilted position is raised vertically and the closure 600 is removed.Then, the filter area of the filled smoke sleeve, which protrudes from the loader 350 in the area of the release finger 356, is held with the fingers and pulled downwards out of the inner channel 14 of the center 310, whereby the pilot 500, which rests with the abutment surface 511 on the filled smoke sleeve and protrudes with the mouthpiece 550 upwards out of the pilot channel 20 beyond the funnel 460, sags as the filled smoke sleeve is pulled down and slides into the inner channel 14. As soon as the pilot 500 no longer slides lower, the shut-off position is reached.This means that the openings of the pilot aperture 470 of the hopper 460 and thus the pilot channel 20 as well as the plugging aperture 157 of the conical piston 110 are sufficiently blocked by the pilot 500 so that when the device rotates, more filling material can fall out of the pilot channel 20 and thus the device, together with the pilot, is positioned again with the loader 350 upwards into the basic position above the work surface. Now the pilot 500 with the groove rib cover 573 is inserted into the rib 624 of the previously removed closure 600 until the actuating pressure surface 575 of the pilot 500 is on the rib root 625 of the closure 600, whereby the closure 600 together with the attached pilot 500 with the knock-down surface 611 of the cover 610 lies on the work surface.The filled smoke sleeve now rests with the filling material on the abutment surface 511 of the pilot 500 and supports the entire device via the outer surface of the smoke sleeve inner receptacle 321 of the center 310. Now, the filled smoke sleeve, which has already been discharged to the "shut-off position," is held further in the projecting filter area, this time toward the top, and the main device is pushed down with the support surface 476 of the funnel 460 up to the collecting rim 621 of the closure 600. At the same time, the pilot 500 is pushed deeper into the inner channel 14, thereby further discharging the filled smoke sleeve and pushing it to the pre-discharge position. Then the device together with the pilot with the filled smoke tube upwards in the pre-discharge position is lifted vertically, and the rib 624 of the closure 600 is positioned by radial rotation so that the actuating pressure surface 575 of the pilot 500 rests on the rib tip 626 of the closure 600.Finally, the device is pressed downwards again towards the closure 600. The filled smoke sleeve is finally unloaded through the discharge opening 311 of the center 310 and the filling material in the area of the filling opening of the smoke sleeve is additionally compressed. In addition, the pilot 500 is pushed so deeply into the pilot channel 20 that it wedges itself into the pilot opening 470 of the funnel 460 by means of the fit 572 on the connecting funnel 571 of the mouthpiece 550 and thus closes the pilot channel 20. In order to release the pilot 500 from its wedged position within the main device, the pilot 500 can be released by pressing on the abutment surface 511 of the pilot 500 protruding from the discharge opening 311 of the center 310.On the other hand, the removal of the wedged pilot 500 from the funnel 460 can also be accomplished by means of the closure 600 and its retractor 628, which engage in the retraction 574 of the mouthpiece 550 through radial rotation 8 during unloading and thus pull the pilot 500 out of the funnel 460. Center unloading: During center unloading, as with center loading, the entire filling area 300 assembly is separated from the device, and the filled smoke sleeve is ejected through the stuffing opening 315 of the center 310 by pressure on the filter protruding from the loader 350 in the area of the release finger 356, thereby being unloaded.Front unloading: During front unloading, the filled smoking sleeve protruding from the sleeve channel 11 is simply pulled from the slight tension of the filling opening of the smoking sleeve between the inner smoke sleeve holder 321 of the center 310 and the sleeve holder 627 of the lid 610 and is then unloaded through the smoke sleeve opening 629 of the lid 610. Consumption: The finished smoking product created by filling the smoking sleeve can be placed in the mouthpiece 550 for consumption. An additional filter can also be inserted, the finished smoking product can be placed down and the smoking behavior can be influenced by opening and closing the air hole 561. Finished smoking product intake: The finished smoking product can be inserted at the filter end into the lower filter holder 577 of the mouthpiece 550. This means that the mouthpiece 550 can be used as a smoking tip.The smoke from the burning finished smoking product is guided through the smoke channel 15 and smoke channel 560 by inhaling through the mouthpiece 555. The advantage of a smoke tip is essentially improved handling. Filter holder: An additional filter, such as an activated carbon filter, can also be inserted into the top filter holder 554 of the mouthpiece 550. This has the advantage that, with purchased tubes, which normally come with a simple filter, an improved filtering effect of the inhaled smoke can be achieved. The activated carbon filters used here can be used multiple times as standard; their service life is extended because they do not come into direct contact with the finished smoking product and its burning filling material.Likewise, the easy exchange of the additional filter allows different consumers to consume the same ready-to-smoke product without risking droplet infection due to different, interchangeable individual lip contact points. Air hole: The smoke channel 560 of the mouthpiece 550 has radial openings to the sleeve surface 557 in the form of air hole 561. These air holes can be closed or opened with fingers or lips during inhalation. This allows additional ambient air to be inhaled alongside the inhaled smoke, leading to a change in smoking behavior. Storage surface: The burning ready-to-smoke product cannot normally be placed on a work surface, as this would create a burn mark due to contact with the hot ash.By receiving the ready-to-smoke product in the mouthpiece 550, the smoke product can be placed on the placement surface 576 of the mouthpiece 550, whereby, in addition to the placement surface 576, only the additional filter or mouthpiece 555 touches the work surface, and the burning end of the ready-to-smoke product is held in the air above the work surface. Cleaning: To clean all components, it is recommended to disassemble the entire device into individual parts and clean them in a dishwasher. In addition, the spring 530 in combination with the plunger 510 represents a special cleaning tool that is particularly suitable for cleaning the inner channel 14. The process and process steps to be performed by the previously disclosed device can be achieved through different designs and arrangements of the components, whereby the embodiment shown in the drawings represents only one variant.The design shown in the drawings was chosen based on the following considerations: The design shown was chosen to incorporate as many options as possible, such as different loading and unloading methods for the smoke tube, in a single device. External operating surface: In the design shown, the device can be driven and operated by the user by rotating the external surface. It would also be possible, for example, to operate the shredding mechanism electrically instead of manually using the handles, meaning the handles do not have to be used for rotational operation, and a separate transformer component, for example, can be dispensed with.Transformer arrangement: When the shredding mechanism is operated manually using the external gripping surfaces, this was solved in the design implementation shown in such a way that the conical piston is driven from above via the connected transformer relative to the annular casing. This could also be solved in such a way that the conical piston is driven from below via a transformer that connects to the collecting container. Sleeve channel within the shredding mechanism: In order to keep the installation space low, the filling funnel and sleeve channel were implemented within the conical piston in the design implementation shown P400122WO_20250109 Page 39 | 52, which causes the device for filling the smoke sleeve to fall over. The filling funnel could also be connected directly to the shredding mechanism <> and be directed towards the collecting container, thus eliminating the need for a collecting container.Spreader: A storage space was also created within the crushing unit, from which powdered filler material is drawn into the collecting container via spreader channels and mixed with the remaining filler material. Loader: A filling area is located in front of the crushing unit, which opens or closes access to the crushing channels by rotating the cam-and-shaft mechanism. Polygon crushing unit: Used for coarse and medium crushing of the raw material within the ring-shaped crushing channel. Cone crushing unit: In addition to fine crushing by rollers between the cone and ring within the grinding channel, this unit is also used to move the filler material outwards, which is advantageous for filling via a hopper.Connection system: A closure system was found which offers considerable advantages over existing closure systems and thus actively supports the shredding and filling process. Secondary device: The pilot as a secondary device could be dispensed with entirely, or the plunger function could also be integrated into the collection container, e.g. in the form of a drop weight connected to the collection container. Pilot function: As many options as possible were also integrated into the secondary device of the pilot. These range from the production of the smoking sleeve using a rolling gauge, pushing the raw material into the loading channel, as well as loading, filling and unloading the sleeve. Likewise, the individual components of the pilot fulfil different functions independently of the pilot, such as the mouthpiece for consumption or the spring and plunger for cleaning the device. Collection container: Various options have also been integrated into the collection container.The primary function of the collection container is to collect the shredded raw material from the shredding plant and provide it as filler material for filling the smoke sleeve. The integrated scrapers help to mix and loosen the stored filler material, but also help to convey the filler material along the chute toward the inner channel. In the design shown, the collection container is also equipped with a pilot channel and a filling funnel, into which the pilot can be inserted from the outside. The pilot channel can be closed either by the pilot itself or by an iris. A sieve is also integrated to separate powdery filler material from the shredded raw material.Closure: In addition to the closure option for the loading channels, the design shown includes an integrated closure which offers additional security for the loaded smoke tube and prevents unwanted escape of filler material. This closure also serves as a collecting tray for excess filler material and for holding the pilot during unloading, and allows the smoke tube to be loaded through the tube channel during front loading. The loader also incorporates a spring receptacle for the hollow charge. Dimensions: The dimensions of the devices were designed based on the dimensions of standard smoke tubes, and were also designed to achieve the desired capacity and ensure easy handling by the user. Figure 44 shows a first embodiment of the device's operating process according to Figure 1. The device's production process is divided into the following process steps.Portioning: By closing the loading channel 12 by rotating the loading channel between the channel ribs 355 of the loader 350, the desired raw material volume and its mixing ratio can be portioned before loading into the comminution unit 100. Loading: By opening the loading channel 12, the portioned raw material can be pushed into the comminution unit by means of the impact surface 511 of the pilot 500. Crushing and transporting: The loaded raw material is already ground during loading by the pilot 500 and then further crushed by radial rotation 5 grinding of the components of the crushing unit 100 against each other by means of the geometries of the conical piston 110 and annular casing 200 by shearing, pressing, rolling, grinding, scraping and shaking and at the same time transported from the top loader 350 via the crushing channel 13 and outer channel 18 downwards into the collecting container 400.Mixing: During loading and comminution, different loaded raw materials are already mixed. In particular, the crushed filler material from the crushing unit 100 is transported, mixed, and loosened in the agitator of the collecting container 400 by means of the agitator 140 of the conical piston 110 and the scraper ribs of the radial agitator 462 of the hopper 460 in the collecting container P400122WO_20250109 Page 41 | 52400 together with the powder material to be scattered through the scattering channel 17 before filling. Loading: Here, the smoke sleeve is loaded into the device. Different loading techniques exist for this: rear loading, middle loading, and front loading. Filling: The filling process step describes how the mixed filler material is transported and compacted via the filling channel 19 into the loaded smoke sleeve.Unloading: Finally, the smoke tube filled with filling material is unloaded from the device as a finished smoking product from the inner channel 14. Depending on the loading technique, there are different unloading techniques: rear unloading, center unloading, and front unloading. Twisting: The operation of the device essentially consists of radially twisting the components and assemblies relative to one another. These can be divided into the following twists: The twisting of the assemblies and components relative to one another essentially serves the purpose of manipulating them via the gripping surfaces from the outside of the various channels. The twisting essentially takes place between two connected components relative to one another, but can also drive other connected components.
[0002] P400122WO_20250109 Page 42 | 52Glossary - Raw material: Smoking products such as tobacco, hemp, tea, spices, flowers, mushrooms or plants. Focus on smoking products that need to be reduced in size before stuffing. - Filling material: Portioned, crushed and mixed raw material, also powdered filling material - Packaging material: Strips of packaging material and filters are built into a smoking tube. - Papers: Strips of packaging material, colloquially called papers, usually pre-made or bought on a roll, usually paper: Cellulose strips with a rubberized adhesive point. - Filter: Also colloquially called a filter tip, this is a mostly cylindrical or conical component that is inserted into the bottom of the smoking tube. This can be either a finished part, a semi-finished product or completely self-made. When self-made, for example,Often pre-cut paper strips are purchased, which are then folded at pre-perforated points and rolled into a filter. Fiber filters (usually made of cellulose acetate) and activated carbon filters are available for purchase. These are used for filtering, usually due to the mechanical retention of particles and alkaloids from the inhaled smoke, such as tar or nicotine. The filter also mechanically holds back the filler material during inhalation, so that it does not get into the mouth of the end user when smoking, and on the other hand serves as a stop for the filler when packing. The filter also stabilizes the smoking tube and serves as a holder and mouthpiece within the tube. When rolled, the filter also helps to shape the smoking tube. - Smoking tube: is an empty cigarette or joint, also called a cigarette tube or cone (joint tube).They are usually cylindrical or conical in shape, open at the top, and contain a filter at the other bottom end. The packaging material strips are preferably made of cellulose or a similar paper-like material with a combustible material. However, packaging material tubes (e.g., made of metal, glass, ceramic, plastic, wood, etc.) can also be used, some of which do not burn and can therefore be reused. - Rolling: A design for manufacturing a smoking product. - Plugging: A design for manufacturing a smoking product. In English, TubingP400122WO_20250109 Page 43 | 52- Cigarette: A cylindrical or conical roll of filling material rolled or plugged into a smoking tube.Is usually smoked by lighting the top end opposite the included filter at the bottom of the cigarette (cigarette burns like a candle from the top at the beginning to the bottom end), after which smoke is inhaled through the filter, which is the most common form of tobacco consumption. - Joint: similar to a cigarette, usually conical rather than cylindrical in shape, with the upper opening at the beginning of the smoking tube being larger than the lower closed end of the filter. Joints are also usually not just filled with the same filling material such as tobacco like cigarettes, but are used for the consumption of more individual filling material mixtures. - Grinder: Most common grinding device - Ready-to-smoke product: Smoking tube filled with filling material.
