Definitions

  • the field of the invention relates to apparatus and methods for making cigarettes, and more particularly to making cigarettes with a central hollow cylindrical tube.
  • a process for manufacturing a rod of smoking material with an axially extending insert is disclosed in GB 2260887 .
  • Methods are provided for making cigarettes which comprise a hopper section that feeds tobacco, and a rod forming section that wraps the tobacco with paper.
  • a porous belt through which air is drawn, runs on two wheels and tobacco is fed to the porous belt through a tobacco feed chamber.
  • a tobacco column builds up on the porous belt.
  • the tobacco column travels with the belt and is contained by the front and rear rails.
  • the tobacco column feeds through two trimming discs where the column is trimmed to a specific weight/volume.
  • the trimmed tobacco column then passes under the left wheel where it is scraped off the belt by a scraper.
  • paper which is pulled by a drive belt, is pulled under the tobacco column by the rod forming section of the maker.
  • the scraper which is flat at the entrance and concave at the exit, forms the top of the tobacco column into a cylindrical shape.
  • the paper and drive belt under the tobacco column enter a garniture that supports the drive belt and paper.
  • the tobacco column leaves the scraper it passes under a tongue that maintains the cylindrical shape of the top of the tobacco column.
  • the drive belt and paper under the tobacco column are formed by the garniture around the tobacco column to produce a cylindrical shape on the lower half of the column.
  • the present invention is intended to intermittently insert and accurately position objects in a tobacco rod being produced by a tobacco rod maker equipped with a dual (or multiple) path suction rod conveyor.
  • a method for making cigarettes comprising configuring wheels of a conveyor to allow two porous belts to run in parallel to one another, adding a rear rail, front rail and center divider rail to the conveyor to form a separate tobacco column on each porous belt, feeding tobacco to an updraft chamber located below the porous belts while the belts are moving, building-up tobacco columns on each of the porous belts, trimming the tobacco columns with rotating trimmer disks and producing accurate tobacco weight, moving the trimmed tobacco columns along the porous belts until the tobacco columns reach drive wheels, feeding paper under the tobacco columns at the drive wheels and removing excess tobacco from the porous belt with a scrapper, depositing the tobacco on moving paper and around a hollow cylindrical tube, flowing the tobacco, tube and paper into a garniture, forming the tobacco tube and paper into a cylindrical shape, feeding the cylindrical shaped rod through folders and past a glue applicator that seals the paper and producing a finished tobacco rod for cutting into individual tobacco rods.
  • Preferred methods of supplying the tubing include the following.
  • Cutting tubing to a certain length and loading the tubing into a hopper picking-up the tubing with a vacuum drum and moving the tubing down vertical ducts by friction belts; propelling pieces of the tubing with a propulsion wheel that transports the tubing; separating the tubing with a friction spacing wheel; registering the tubing with a lugged belt; and entering the tubing into a garniture and tongue area.
  • FIG. 1-9 show a continuous hollow tube fed into a tobacco rod forming machine where tobacco is positioned around the tube.
  • FIG. 1A shows an apparatus for carrying out an embodiment of the present invention embodiment that implements what will be referred to as the mandrel method.

  • the rod 39 extends into the tobacco flow between the tongue 12 and the garniture 17.
  • the rod 39 serves as a mandrel, about which the tobacco flows between the tongue 12 and the garniture 17.
  • tobacco gathers around the rod/mandrel 39 and is formed into a cylindrical shape by the garniture 17 and the tongue 12.
  • the rod/mandrel 39 is typically sealed and cylindrical in shape. As the tobacco leaves the rod/mandrel 39, a hole remains in the tobacco cylinder.
