  • Patent number: 11197495
    Abstract: A cigarette rolling apparatus designed to form a cigarette by rolling a paper around a smoking material is provided. The apparatus includes a base, a ramp coupled to the base, a handle with arms pivotably mounted to the base and having rollers rotatably mounted to the arms, and a belt with first and second ends coupled to the base so that the belt extends along the ramp and around the rollers mounted to the handle. The handle in a load position forms a U-shaped pocket in the belt between the ramp and rollers to receive the smoking material and a portion of the belt on the ramp to receive the paper. Pivotal movement of the handle from the load position toward the front end of the base allows the rollers to apply compression forces on portions of the belt to roll the paper around the smoking material.

  • Patent number: 11129407
    Abstract: A cigarette rolling machine deposits uniformly metered charges of smoking material into a trough formed in a belt as dispensed from a bulk supply. A length of smoking paper sufficient for the combined length of two cigarettes is deposited nearby on the belt on a movable platen. As the platen moves, the belt glides over a fixed arbor and at least one other movable arbor, and the belt forms into a bight, rolling the material into a cylindrical volume. Filters are delivered and abutted to the ends of the volume and the smoking paper is entrained into the bight to encircle the smoking material and filters. A pre-moistened adhesive along a leading edge of the paper adheres to its trailing edge as a circular ouroboros and forming a tube. The twinned pair of cigarettes is then drawn across a cutting plane knife and parted into two individual cigarettes.

  • Patent number: 10863767
    Abstract: A delivery device for smokable cannabis and a manufacturing method for same with a defined active cannabis compound. Plant material from a plurality of cannabis plants representing a plurality of cannabis cultivars is harvested based on parent cultivars' active cannabis compound profile. Plant material is shredded to a size range applicable to loading into a smokable device, measured proportions of plant materials are combined to produce a mixed batch with a projected desirable active cannabis compound profile. Material is then processed, analyzed, loaded into smokable delivery device, labeled and distributed.

  • Patent number: 5634396
    Abstract: An apparatus (20) for forming sushi rolls (14) comprising a housing (22). A drive roller (24) is rotatively carried within the housing (22). A driven roller (26) is rotatively carried within the housing (22) in a side by side relationship with the drive roller (24). An endless belt (28) is between the drive roller (22) and the driven roller (26). The endless belt (28) has an arcuate recess portion therebetween that will receive a food filler (16) deposited upon the arcuate recess portion. A facility (30) in the housing (22) is for positioning the driven roller (26) closer to the drive roller (24) after the food filler (16) is placed upon the arcuate recess portion of the endless belt (28). A component (32) is for rotating the drive roller (24) with the endless belt and the driver roller (26) together. When an edge of a seaweed sheet (18) is inserted into the arcuate recess portion of the endless belt (26), the seaweed sheet (18) will tightly wrap about the food filler (16) to form a sushi roll (14).

  • Patent number: 4697602
    Abstract: A machine for rolling bulk material, such as fiber filters and tobacco, and wrapping a sheet member around the bulk material has a flexible apron connected to a roller bar which is rotated with an electric motor. The apron is located over a convex support between side walls having track slots for guiding the roller bar as it rolls up the apron and moves relative to the support. Bulk material placed on the apron adjacent the roller bar is rolled into a generally cylindrical shape within a sheet member as the apron moves over the support. The cylindrical product is discharged from the apron when the roller bar reaches the rear of the slots.
