SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 554,635, dated February 11, 1896.
Application filed April 26, 1892. $eria1No. 430,807. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH DELA MAR, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Machines for Forming Continuous Fillers for Cigars, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates more particularly to feeding and automatic cutting mechanism in machines for forming fillers for cigars, the object being to provide a simple and efficient machine for this purpose.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of feed mechanism employed. Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof. Fig. 4 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the center of the feed mechanism. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is an enlarged plan view of cutters and portions of other parts.
I will first briefly describe certain parts of the machine, which, however, are fully described in my Patent No. 461,072, of October 13, 1891, and my Patent No. 498,844, of June A designates a table supported by legs A, which have suitable cross-bars for supporting rotary parts of the machine.
A is a band or power wheel loosely mounted upon but adapted to rotate a main shaft a when a certain clutch mechanism is thrown into engagement and operate the machine. The main shaft a has a bearing at one end in a pillow-block a and at the other end in the main frame of the machine. A pinion a is rigidly mounted on the shaft a and has on or adjacent to it one member of a clutch a The other member of the clutch a is attached to the pulley A and is movable with said pulley into engagement with the other member of the clutch by means of a lever A bifurcated at its upper end and engaging in an annular groove of the movable section of the clutch. At its lower end the lever A is attached to a rock-shaft a having bearings in the main frame, and is provided with a treadle-lever a. Obviously by a downward movement of the treadle a the pulley A and its clutch-section will be moved longitudinally on the shaft a and into engagement with the clutch-section on the pinion a The pinion a meshes with a gear-wheel A secured to a shaft a As a means for unlocking the clutch-sections when the lever a is released by the foot of the operator, I employ a yielding arm a which is secured at its lower end to the rockshaft a and projecting at its free end into the path of a lug a on the gear-wheel A. As long as the operators foot holds down the lever to" the arm a will yield and pass over the lug a but upon releasing the lever a the lug will move the arm a and through it the rock-shaft a and clutch-arm A This clutch-operating mechanism is fully shown and described in my Patent No. 461,072, of October 13, 1891.
B is a gear-wheel mounted on the shaft a This gear-wheel is toothed about half its circumference to impart a complete revolution to a pinion b at a partial revolution of the wheel B.
Having sufficiently described the driving mechanism when taken in connection with mypatent of October 13, 1891, I will now describe the parts relating more particularly to my present invention, premising, however, that it is to be understood that the machine is provided with filler-pressing dies and rolling mechanism.
F is a way or chute through which tobacco is conveyed to the formers. The tobacco is transferred by an attendant from the table or box 0 to' carriers F F. The carriers F F are in the form of endless bands running in the way F, one band, F extending around rollers ff, one of which is arranged adjacent to and in line with an entrance f to the presserdies, and the other, f, has journal-bearings in hangers at the outer end of the way F. The carrier F is shorter than the carrier F and is arranged below the same, and extends around rollers f f 3 j ournaled in hangers depending from the way F. The short carrier F has at convenient points arms extending from it at substantially right angles to the width of the carrier. These arms are designed to embrace the charge of tobacco at the sides. The roller f over which the carrier F extends is at some distance from the entrance f to the dies, so that there is considerable space in which the arms do not aid in the carrying of tobacco. To carry the tobacco along this space I employ an endless presser-band G. This band G extends around rollers g 9, one of which has j ournal-bearings in blocks which are vertically adjustable in ways 9 The carrier F and the presserband G are serrated or provided with transverse ratchet-shaped teeth 0, which may be of rubber or similar material. These toothlike projections serve to grip the tobacco and more eifectually carry it along.
The several rollers over which the carriers and presser-band extend are preferably'covered on their bearing-surface with some rough material, 0, such as fish-skin.
The roller 9 has its shaft bearing in theouter ends of bars g", the other ends of which have a swinging connection with the journals of the roller g. A weight g at theend of a rod g suspended from one of the bars 9, serves to hold the band G tightly against the upper side of the tobacco.
The serrated carrier F is driven by a rackbar [15 reciprocated vertically by the driving mechanism and engaging with a toothed wheel having a pawl-and-ratchet connection (not shown) with the shaft of the roller f, and the presser-band Gr is driven through the medium of a band k, a roller 10 on the shaft of the roller f a roller on the shaft of the roller f, and intermediate mechanism, as described in my Patent No. 461,072, of October 13, 1891, and Patent No. 4983M, of June 6, 1893, before referred to. A quantity of tobacco having been placed on the carrier F by an operator, the said tobacco is carried forward, but before it reaches the presserband G the top of the charge is trinnned off, so that only the required charge for one cigar is fed into the dies at one time.
The top cutters here shown consist of rotary cutter-disks D D, having their edges overlapped above the way F. Each cutter-disk is mounted on a vertical shaft (Z, having bearings in sleeves d adjustably supported by thumb-screws (Z in boxes cl on opposite sides of the way F. The cutter-disks D D are driven from the main shaft a by means of a band (1 rotating a shaft (1 which has a bevelgear (I engaging with a bevel-gear on the shaft of the cutter-disk D. The shaft of the cutter-disk D has a gear-wheel d meshing witha gear-wheel cl on theshaft of the cutter-disk D. The disks areadjustable vertically. This may be done by adjusting the sleevesd within the boxes CZ. The shaft d of the cutter D extends through the bevelgear 0 and a set-screw is employed to secure the gear 0 to the shaft. This allows the ad j ustment of the vertical shaft without chang ing the relative positions of the gears c d. A rubber washer (Z is mounted on the shaft of the disk D between the lower end of the sleeve (Z and the wheel (1 and serves by its slight expansion to draw the shaft of the cutter D downward, and thus press the cutters together.
The tobacco is pressed downward in the way F before it reaches the top cutters by means of a roller E, having its journals movable upward and downward in bearings 6. Each link 6 extends downward from a journal of the roller E and has connection with a fulcrumed lever 6 provided with an adjustable weight a The reason this Weight is adjustable in this manner is to give the tobacco either a compact or loose consistency according to the requirement of the bunch desired, an essential point in the manufacture of cigars.
A shoe E arranged between the roller E and the cutter-disks D D serves to retain the filler in its compressed condition in its movement between the roller E and the cutterdisks. This shoehas an oscillating movement and is movable vertically with the vertical movement of the wheel E, and it rests at all times on the top of the tobacco. Itis attached to an arm h pivoted on a journal of the roller E and a forwardly-extending arm h provided with a weight 7L which serves to hold the shoe with pressure on the tobacco.
The surplus tobacco, or that cut off the top of the tobacco, is directed by means of a curved deflector II, having a guard II on its top, to the box 0 and mixed with the tobacco therein automatically,therebysavin g rehandling.
