Abstract:
The invention relates to a station (1) for assembling a cartridge (C) of an electronic cigarette, the cartridge (C) comprises: a base (B), provided with a longitudinal axis (X); a side wall (P), a first side (L1), a second side (L2), opposite to the first side (L1); a connection element (E), which comprises a body (K) designed to be inserted in a housing (A) of the base (B) and an end portion (F) which is arranged at a channel (H) of the base (B) when the body (K) is in the housing (A) of the base (B). The station (1) comprises a support device (2), which supports the base (B) and assembling means (3, 4) which can move closer towards the base (B) to allow the assembly of a component (E, T, I) to the base (B). The assembling means (3, 4) comprise: an abutment element (3), arranged to face the first side (L1) of the base (B) and defining: a peripheral edge (30) made to be inserted in the channel (H) of the base (B); a central cavity (31), which is delimited by a bottom (310) and by the peripheral edge (30) and that is shaped for receiving the protrusion (S) of the base (B). The abutment element (3) is movable between an inoperative position (W) in which it is spaced from the base (B), and an operative position (Z) in which: the cavity (31) receives in abutment the protrusion (S) of the base (B); the edge (30) is inserted in the channel (H) of the base (B) and contacts the end portion (F) of the connection element (E), so as to maintain the end portion (F) at a predetermined distance (100) from the axis (X) of the base (B) during the assembling operations.
