Abstract

A device for cutting and transferring a contoured tobacco sheet profile, such as a cigar wrapper, from a sheet of tobacco material, such as a natural tobacco leaf B or a portion thereof, as the tobacco sheet is supported on a cutting surface 123 at a cut-transfer position comprises a transfer element 30 with a cut-away first portion 530 and adjacent profile receiving second portion 532 is moved in a path M over the cutting surface 123 so that the first and second portions of the transfer element are moved in succession to the cut-transfer position at which the cutting operation is to be performed. A cutter 22 is located at the cut-transfer position for cutting the profile from the tobacco sheet while the cut-away portion of the transfer element is at the cut-transfer position. This cutter includes at least one cutting element 300, 302, 304, 306 which is selectively movable between a position extending through the cut-away portion 530 of the transfer element and into cutting engagement with the tobacco sheet material B and a retracted position providing clearance for the transfer element. After a profile has been cut from the tobacco sheet material, it is captured onto the cutter and moved away from the cutting surface 123 so that the profile receiving portion 532 of the transfer element can be moved under the cutter 22 and between the cutter and the cutting surface at the cut-transfer position.
