ABSTRACT:
A device for perforating packaged cigarettes comprising first and second housing members, one of which is movably received within the other, one of the housing members having a plurality of spaced pins or needles which are movable to perforate or pierce the cigarettes contained within a package. The device includes means for selectively raising and lowering the package of cigarettes so as to create perforations at different points along the lengths of the cigarettes. Optionally provided is a locking mechanism for preventing relative movement of the housing portions to prevent the needles from inadvertently protruding from a nested position, thereby increasing the safety of the device.
