Definitions
- the present invention relates to equipment for processing at least one strip of filter material in the tobacco industry.
- the prior art embraces equipment for processing a strip of filter material fed along a predetermined path and caused, as it advances along the path, to undergo a succession of processing.steps before being directed into a filter making machine.
- these steps will consist in a longitudinal and/or transverse pulling or stretching operation, and a step of treating the strip with additive materials.
- the aforementioned pulling or stretching operation is accomplished using pairs of rollers, each composed typically of a threaded roller and an anvil roller.
- the object of the present invention is to provide equipment for processing at least one strip of filter material, such as will be unaffected by the drawbacks mentioned above.
- numeral 1 denotes equipment, in its entirety, for processing a strip 2 of filter as used in the tobacco industry, interposed between a feed unit 3 supplying the strip 2 and a filter maker, or filter assembly section, represented schematically as a block denoted 4.
- the feed unit 3, the equipment 1 and the section denoted 4 constitute interoperative parts of a filter maker which, with the exception of the equipment 1 disclosed, is of familiar type and therefore neither illustrated nor described in detail.
- the equipment 1 comprises a pair of guide rollers 5 and 6 combining in operation one with another, and next in sequence, along a processing path denoted P, means denoted 7, in their entirety, by which the strip 2 is stretched and pulled longitudinally and/ortransversely. Further along, the equipment 1 comprises treatment means 8 by which additives such as a plasticizing compound are applied to the strip 2 of filter material.
- numerals 9 and 10 denoted two further guide rollers by which the strip 2 is directed toward the filter maker 4.
- the longitudinal and/or transverse stretching and pulling means 7 include at least one pair of rollers comprising a top roller 11 of which the axis 11 a is disposed transversely to the processing path P, and an anvil roller 12 of which the axis 12a lies parallel to the former axis 11 a.
- the upstream guide rollers 5 and 6, the processing rollers 11 and 12 and the downstream guide rollers 9 and 10 combine to provide means by which the strip 2 is fed along the processing path P.
- a second pair of stretching and pulling rollers comprising a roller 13 of which the axis 13a is disposed transversely to the processing path P, and an anvil roller 14 of which the axis 14a lies parallel to the former axis 13a.
- the equipment 1 might incorporate any number of paired stretching and pulling rollers.
- the outer cylindrical surface of the top roller 11 presents a helical thread 15, whilst the anvil roller 12 is faced with resilient material.
- the helical thread 15 describes a sinuous profile 16, with each turn presenting a crest portion denoted 17, compassed between two roots 18 connected to the crest portion 17 by way of relative flanks 19.
- the aforementioned portions 20 are incorporated in such a way as to lie substantially tangential to the active portion 17 at all points.
- the portions 20 in question will present a preferably constant radius of curvature, although the radius of curvature might also be variable.
- the ratio between the size of the active portion 17, denoted D, and the pitch p of the helical thread 15, denoted 21, is nominally 0.25 and more broadly might be between 0.22 and 0.28.
- the ratio between the size D of the active portion 17 and the pitch 21 of the helical thread 15 is nominally 0.5, and more broadly might be between 0.48 and 0.53.
- the ratio between the size D of the active portion 17 and the pitch 21 of the helical thread 15 is nominally 0.75, and more broadly might be between 0.72 and 0.78.
- the active portions 17 are merged with the flanks 19 by way of rounded portions 20 and present an arcuate profile.
- the strip 2 advances in the feed direction F, drawn forward at least by the first stretching and pulling rollers 11 and 12.
- the advancing strip 2 is subjected by the thread 15 of the top roller 11 to a longitudinal and transverse stretching action.
- the strip 2 of material passing between the threaded roller 11 and the roller 12 of resilient material will be deformed, but without suffering any damage, and in particular without longitudinal splits or cuts occurring, given that the active portions 17 of the thread 15 are devoid of sharp corner edges.
- the strip 2 of material emerging from the aforementioned stretching and pulling means 7 will present a more homogeneous and fuller bodied structure.
- the equipment 1 illustrated in figure 8 is designed to process two strips 2 of filter material advancing side by side.
- the drive systems of the respective stretching and pulling rollers might operate either independently of one another or in concert.
- profiles 16 of the aforementioned helical threads 15 presented by the longitudinal and/or transverse stretching and pulling rollers 11 and 13 will be generated advantageously by a grinding operation, so as to obtain a precision finish.
