Abstract

946,455. Cigarette-making machines. AMERICAN MACHINE & FOUNDRY CO. March 10, 1960 [March 20, 1959], No. 8517/60. Heading A2C. [Also in Division G1] A continuous tobacco rod 8 is cut by a knife 68 off the lower end of a hollow tobacco cylinder 14 formed by feeding tobacco particles to the space between two rotating cylinders 10, 12. The outer cylinder 12 is supported and driven by three sets of rollers 30 and drives the cylinder 10 through a flexible link 54, Fig. 3. The cylinder 10 is mounted eccentrically on a control shaft 46, rotation of which superimposes a slight orbital motion on to the rotary motion of cylinder 10 so that the width of the gap between cylinders 10, 12, is continually increasing and decreasing to assist compacting of the tobacco. The bottom of cylinder 10 and of a plate 66 attached to cylinder 12 form leger plates for the knife 68, the lower end of the tobacco cylinder being supported by a plate 16 carried by a member 18 rotated by gears 28, 44, from the shaft 30. A flexible belt 70 closes the gap between plate 16 and lower end of plate 66 except in the region of knife 68 where a stationary guide 86 supports the side of the cut-off strip 8 and a stripper member 88 detaches the strip from the cylinder and guides it on to a conveyer 90 leading to the cigarette paper conveying band 94 of a rod forming mechanism. The guide member 88 also has a ramp portion 92 guiding the stepped end of the tobacco cylinder back to the level of plate 16 after removal of the strip. The loose tobacco is fed on to a rotating plate 62 which flings the particles into the gap 14, the rate of feed being such as to keep the height of the tobacco cylinder constant, The rate of feed may be controlled by a photo-electric device operated by the level of the tobacco cylinder showing through a window 108 in cylinder 12. The density of the tobacco rod may be adjusted by varying the speed of conveyer 90 relative to that of conveyer 94 or by varying the depth of the strip 8 by rotation through a chain 104 of a screwed nut 106 which varies the position of the member 18 carrying the plate 16. The adjusting means may be controlled automatically by a device which measures the density of the tobacco rod and produces an electric signal controlling a servomotor actuating the adjusting devices. Specification 707,239 is referred to.
