Method and device for spreading out tobacco leaves and for enabling them to be retrieved, flat, after having been spread out

摘要

A method for spreading out tobacco leaves and for enabling them to be retrieved, flat, after having been spread out, comprising: P P placing each leaf on a support generally in the form of a deformable dihedron, the central vein of the leaf extending on the edge of said dihedron;PPcausing a flux of fluid to flow on either side of the edge, so that gravity conducts this fluid along the lines of greatest slope of said faces;PPthen deforming said support so as to return the spread out leaf to a flat position.
