Description

Method of Making Firelighters The invention relates to a process for making firelighters from impregnated, then in strips cut and packaged wood wool ropes.

It is known to use wood wool ropes for making fire starters use, which have a relatively strong woven structure, the weft threads consist of rope or wooden sticks. After cooling these soaked wood wool ropeways these are cut into individual pieces on a cutting device, which, like this is common practice in the art for such solid materials, of which Cutting table can be pushed off by the following workpiece. Using from firelighters of this kind individual pieces have to be broken loose, quite a lot Requires force and also splinters due to the brittleness of the material the known unpleasant phenomena result.

In the present production process of firelighters on the other hand, twisted or folded wood Z> is used, which is also used after the Soaking, spinning and drying are only loosely related. Such packs have the advantage that the individual pieces, which are used as firelighters are to be used, can be easily removed from the package without Efforts to crush the firelighter are necessary and without going through the material, which has so far inevitably crumbled off during this work, is inconvenience develop.

If such a rope were cut with the known device mentioned, this is how the individual components of the rope would be cut in all directions stick out spiky and the rope would fall apart on the table, like that that it was not pushed into the round pack by the rope that pushed it in at all could be and not all cut off even with a vertical filling Components without sweeping up and collecting in the box or underneath Bag would come up. According to the invention, therefore, becomes the slack Wood wool rope in a first guide to any bundle shape in cross-section pressed together, in a diesel pressed state through a second guide held and then severed the rope between the two guides, whereupon (read cut bundles through the advancing rope strand from the second Guide is pressed directly into the packaging.

This has the advantage that (read relatively loose Rope bundle, lvelclies has no solid cohesion, securely in the packaging oller is inserted into a bag arranged behind or below the guide occurs without any parts of the rope or the bags falling off packed unevenly.

There is now a process for making firelighters from impregnated, afterwards cut into strips and packaged full spar ropes known in which the impregnated wood wool ropes are pressed together into a bundle shape of any cross-section and in this condition in a box corresponding to the cut shape of the bundle or the like. Introduced as packaging and separated from your rope strand after insertion "-earth.

Compared to this known method (read new methods have the advantage that the cut is made between two fixed guides with sharp delimiting edges. So the cut is very clean and the cut end of the rope lies completely smooth in the pack, which makes the pack a very neat impression. There will also be damage to the round cans or the bags from the cutting device excluded, so there are no stoppages when filling or when the machine is running appear.

Two guides are used to shape the wood wool rope, between which the cut of the knife takes place and from which the eire immediately runs on the packaging can, while the second guide up to the filling opening the pack to be filled vertically (bags or the like) is sufficient. By moving the The wood wool rope forward is the cut part of the wood wool rope, which is located in the guide lying in the middle of the pack, advanced and enters the empty package without generating waste.

It has also been found that with certain packs, For example, bags or folding boxes that are filled vertically and essentially are cheaper than solid round boxes, it is advantageous if the bundle is cut off first therein in the same direction by further advancing de: wood wool rope «-transported then do the second cut through the cutting device and through on Her correspondingly attached pressure devices in the relevant vertical position Press the pack down. Here, too, the wood wool rope is guided until immediately in front of the pack, so that it can be inserted into this pack without waste he follows.

Devices are schematically shown in the drawing. to carry out of the process stages shown, namely a device for filling a round box, which is filled horizontally and for filling a bag or folding box, the vertically filled avi rd.

The impregnated loose wood wool rope strand i is in a first Guide 2 compressed on a rin cross-section any bundle shape, in dieseln ztisaminengedrückten state held by a second guide 3 and then between the two guides -2 and 3 separated by a Sclineidvorrichtung.I, whereupon the cut bundle through the advancing rope strand from the second Guide 3 is pressed directly into the packaging 5.

In the second embodiment, d .- <s is cut off, from the second guide 3 held and front rope strand advanced bundle only when second cut or stroke of the cutting device d. by one attached to this Printing device 6 in a vertical folding box; Or bag j 'bruised. 8 is the well-known limitation for the cutting length and each time the feed hopper is used.

Claims (3)

PATENT CLAIMS: i. Method for making spring lighters from impregnated, then cut into strips and packaged full spar ropes, characterized. that the impregnated loose wood wool rope strand in one first guide pressed together to any bundle shape in cross-section, in This related state of affairs was held by a second leadership and then between the two tours is separated into any amount of trouble, whereupon the cut bundles by the advancing rope strand from the second Guide is pressed directly into the packaging. 2. The method according to claim i, when filling vertically standing bags or d-1., as a result. marked that cut off, held by the second guide and in front, rope strand up to the Cut- Length limitation (8) bundle advanced only at the second Cut or lift of the cutting device by a pressure device attached to it is pressed into a vertical package. 3. The method according to claim i, characterized in that one guide is located directly on the packaging can is, while the other guide up to the filling opening of the vertical to be filled Pack (bag or the like) is enough.
