An apparatus () for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco comprises a base (), a magazine chamber () adapted to receive a supply of tobacco (T), a lid () adapted to close a top of the magazine chamber (), a filling chamber () adapted to receive the tobacco to be filled into a cigarette tube, a stamp () adapted to shape the tobacco of the filling chamber (), and a slider arranged in the filling chamber () which transfers the tobacco of the filling chamber () into a cigarette tube supported in front of the filling chamber (). A press-down lever () is connected to the stamp () and to a coupling mechanism in order to move the slider after actuation of the stamp (). A pusher for forwarding the tobacco in the magazine chamber can also be coupled to the press-down lever.

Apparatus for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco

A smoking-down device for cigarettes, wherein a piston in a smoking-down cylinder is driven by an electric stepping motor which receives a series of FM pulses per operating cycle of the smoking-down cylinder from a digital control system based on a micro-computer. Their mean frequency determines the suction or 'puff' period, their total number of pulses determining the suction volume and their modulation graph determining the suction or puff pattern of the operating cycle. All three parameters may be preset with great precision and without interaction using digital signals, via the control system.
