Abstract: A manual filling device for cigarette tubes, comprising a tobacco compression chamber extending in longitudinal direction of said device and being defined by a housing (12) disposed in a bottom part (14). A pressing bar (16) is provided on a lid (18) which is hinged to the housing (12) and covers said housing (12). A spoon (20) and an ejector slide (22) is provided for ejecting a compressed tobacco bar from the tobacco compression chamber through an opening (24) formed in said housing (12) into a cigarette (filter) tube. A clamping member (59) clampingly retains the cigarette tube on a socket piece disposed at the exit from the tobacco compression chamber. A locking or snap-in unit (60) releasably connects said housing (12) and said lid (18), and includes a substantially hook-shaped detent (62) provided on an elastic web (78) joined to the free end (64) of the lid (18) opposite the hinged connection (34) between lid (18) and housing (12).
