  • Patent number: 4005716
    Abstract: A device for manually forming a plug of tobacco and ejecting the plug into a cigarette tube includes a housing defining a chamber for receiving loose tobacco and a press bar for compressing the tobacco into a cylindrical plug. The press bar is slid horizontally in the chamber by means of a toggle lever system including a handle pivotally mounted at one end in the housing, and pivotally connected to the end of the press bar remote from the tobacco by a lever, which is pivotally connected to the handle and press bar. After forming the plug, the latter is ejected by means of a slide including a lug extending into the chamber at one end through a slot. A spoon on the inner end of the lug engages one end of the plug and, by moving the lug along the slot, the plug is forced into a cigarette tube mounted on a tube on one side of the housing.
