摘要

10,683. Imperial Tobacco Co., and Earle, R. April 30. Tobacco - pipe filling apparatus. - Tobacco cartridges D are successively fed forwards in front of a plunger f by a spring-pressed block r. The plunger is drawn back into the position shown against the action of a spring m by means of a cord g and a winding-drum h. When the drum is released by pressing a button k and so removing a pawl j from engagement with a ratchetwheel, the plunger forces the tobacco from the cartridge D2 into a pipe placed below an opening normally closed by a cap n. the paper being retained by the roughened inner surface of a tube p. The tube p may be rotated to prevent feeding of the cartridges, and the empty cartridge case may be extracted through a slot o. When the magazine is to be re-charged, the block r is held back by engaging a cross-piece s2 with an aperture a2. A space may be partitioned off for matches, pipecleaners, or other articles,
