  • Publication number: 20240334965
    Abstract: A cannabis joints manufacturing machine includes a plurality of cannabis joints manufacturing devices positioned in a line. The first of these cannabis joints manufacturing devices is configured to receive a cannabis cone including cannabis therein, and each of the other stations are adapted to perform on it a step among a sequence of steps towards manufacturing a cannabis joint. The last one of the plurality of cannabis joints manufacturing devices transforms the cannabis cone resulting from the processing by the previous stations into a cannabis joint. The cannabis joints manufacturing machine further includes a cannabis cone moving device for simultaneously moving the cannabis cones in the plurality of cannabis joints manufacturing devices to a next cannabis joints manufacturing device in the line.

  • Patent number: 12108781
    Abstract: A system for compacting cannabis in a cannabis cone comprises i) a cone gripper that is movable between an open position and a closed position around the cannabis cone; wherein, while in the closed position, the cone gripper applies pressure onto the cannabis cone that is sufficient to hold the cannabis cone; ii) a compaction rod, having a tip, for compacting cannabis in the cannabis cone, the compaction rod being reciprocable along an axis between a retracted position, wherein the tip is out of the cannabis cone, and an extended position, wherein the tip is inserted in the cannabis cone; and iii) a protective collar that is movable within the cannabis cone, coaxially thereof, near the open top thereof, so as to define a barrier between the compaction rod and the cannabis cone when the compaction rod reciprocates in the cannabis cone.

  • Publication number: 20240148048
    Abstract: A system for injecting cannabis oil in a cannabis product comprises: a product holder for receiving the cannabis product; a reservoir for containing cannabis oil; a syringe, including a needle, in fluid communication with the reservoir via tubing for receiving cannabis oil therefrom; an engaging mechanism for relatively moving the product holder and syringe towards one another so that the needle is engaged in the cannabis product; and a heating system for heating the cannabis oil between the reservoir and the cannabis product. The heating system includes a syringe-lodging portion, having an opening for allowing the needle therethrough, a heating member for generating heat and being in close proximity with the tubing to transfer heat thereto; and a heat-canalizing system for forcing part of the heat generated by the heating member out of the casing through the opening.
