Abstract
A stuffing tube mounting assembly has an elongated cylindrical barrel with a longitudinal center axis and forward and rearward ends. The barrel has a first barrel portion at the rearward end, a second barrel portion at the forward end, and an intermediate barrel portion in between the first and second barrel portions. The first and second barrel portions have outer surfaces concentric with the longitudinal center axis. The intermediate barrel portion has an outer surface with a center axis parallel to but eccentrically offset from the longitudinal center axis. A hollow elongated stuffing horn has a rearward end detachably telescopically mounted on the second barrel portion. A hollow collar has a longitudinal bore extending therethrough comprised of an eccentric bore portion and a concentric bore portion. The concentric bore portion extends around and embraces the rearward end of the stuffing tube mounted on the second barrel portion of the barrel. The eccentric bore portion has an inner surface with a center axis parallel to but eccentrically offset from the longitudinal axis. It rotatably embraces the outer surface of the intermediate barrel portion so that when the collar is rota…
