The invention relates to a tobacco shredder with a heatable pressure chamber (3) which has a tobacco-material inlet (5) on the low-pressure side, a pressure-relief gap outlet on the pressure side, and a shaft-mounted conveyor worm (1) for conveying the tobacco material from the inlet to the outlet, wherein the conveyor-worm shaft (19) is mounted on the inlet side, and wherein the shaft (19) extends further behind the outlet and is also mounted there by means of an abutment (17). The invention also relates to a method for shredding tobacco in which the tobacco material is introduced on the low-pressure side of a pressure chamber and is relieved of pressure, and discharged, at a gap outlet on the pressure side of the chamber, wherein the tobacco material is conveyed from the inlet to the outlet by means of a conveyor worm which is shaft-mounted at two end portions, and wherein the conveyor worm is operated over a speed range of up to 600 min-1.
The invention relates to an apparatus for apportioning pourable foodstuffs or semi-luxury products, for example cut tobacco, coffee powder or tea, having a holder for the foodstuffs or semi-luxury products and an apportioning arrangement, characterized in that the holder has at least two interacting holder parts (102, 114) which can be moved in relation to one another and, together, form the apportioning arrangement, the foodstuffs or semi-luxury products being accommodated in a holder part (102), and in that one of the holder parts (102), or both of these parts or a plurality thereof, is or are assigned a means (116, 118) for actuating the apportioning apparatus.
The invention relates to a smoking-article pack (1) with an inner pack part (3) for accommodating the smoking articles and with an outer pack part (2) for accommodating the inner pack part (3), wherein the outer pack part (2) comprises an essentially open surface through which the inner pack part (3) can be pushed out of the outer pack part, and with a push-out aperture (5) in the outer pack part (3), wherein the push-out aperture (5) is located essentially on a surface of the outer pack part which is not located opposite the open surface. The invention also relates to a smoking-article pack in which the inner pack part (3) has a lid (6) arranged, in particular articulated, on it, wherein, in the region of the line of articulation, a lid-opening tab (7) is arranged between the lid (6) and that surface of the inner pack part (3) which adjoins the line of articulation, and in which the lid-opening tab (7) has a punched-out portion (21) in which a counterpart on the outer pack part (2) can engage in order to cause the lid (7) to open when the inner pack part (3) is pushed out of the outer pack part (2).

PROCESSING OF TOBACCO MATERIALS CONTAINING A HIGH PROPORTION OF TOBACCO FINES
The invention relates to a method of processing tobacco fines, whereby the tobacco preparation for producing smoking articles from an initial material to be processed, which contains tobacco fines and tobacco material, is subjected to an increased mechanical pressure in order to bind the tobacco fines permanently to the tobacco material, and no extra or external binding agents are added the material to be processed in order to bind the tobacco fines to the tobacco material. It further relates to smoking articles containing smoking material produced on the basis of one of the methods proposed by the invention.
The invention relates to a method for processing tobacco flake cuts when tabacco is prepared for producing smoking items consisting in exposing a raw material containing tabacco flake cuts and tabacco to a mechanical high pressure in such a way that said tabacco flake cuts are permanently adhered to tabacco. Smoking items containing smoking material produced according the inventive method are also disclosed.
The invention relates to a method of producing cut tobacco material, whereby a tobacco initial material is heated and placed under pressure and once heated and placed under pressure, the material is fed through a shearing gap and expanded and defibrated. It further relates to a device for producing cut tobacco material with a pressure chamber, which has a tobacco material inlet at the low-pressure end and a tobacco material outlet at the pressure end and a conveyor system for conveying the tobacco material from the inlet to the outlet, and the tobacco material outlet has a gap through which the material passes and expands, and the gap has walls which can be moved towards one another. It further relates to a smoking article containing such a cut, defibrated tobacco material product and the use of a plug screw feeder-extruder with a shearing gap outlet for defibrating tobacco material.
