ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is apparatus for manufacturing cigarettes, cigarillos, and the like. The apparatus comprises a housing, a tray for receiving and measuring a charge of a smokable substance, a cylindrical form for forming a cigarette or the like, and means for opening and closing the form. The tray, which is preferably cylindrical in shape, is open on one side, movable from a first position within the housing to a second position exterior of the housing, and rotatable from a first orientation in which it is open upwardly to a second orientation in which it is open downwardly. The form is located beneath the tray, movable from a first position within the housing to a second position exterior of the housing, divided into two semi-cylindrical form components, and hinged along its axial length between the semi-cylindrical form components to permit opening and closing. To charge the form, it is opened upwardy and the tray is rotated to its second position, allowing a charge of a smokable substance to drop from the tray into the form. To release a completed cigarette or the like, the form is opened downwardly, allowing the completed smoking product to drop from the form.
