  • Method of and apparatus for dispensing tobacco portions
    Patent number: 4084627
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for dispensing discrete portions of fibrous material, such as tobacco, which is supplied continuously in the form of a fleece or a web. The fibrous material is dispensed in discrete portions which are of a uniform density, by causing the fleece or web to be placed in a container. The uniform density is achieved by injecting air into the fleece or web stream to break up the web and form a uniform density strand by insertion of the fibrous material into the container. Once the container is filled, the strand is severed by a cutter.
