Description

Already known devices for stringing tobacco leaves on a cord, & which the thrust of the tobacco leaf on the fixed reinforced needle is made by a puncheon, provided on the lower end surface with a groove or cutout, which serves to center the leaf cutting, and it is also known to use spring-like plates attached to the needle in such devices that are attached to the center of the needle at the time of impaling.

The present invention relates to apparatuses designed to simultaneously cut tobacco leaves from a shrub and string them onto a cord directly during the harvest of the plantation.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of the device from the side; FIG. 2-view of the apparatus spre di; FIG. 3 - section AB; FIG. 4 is a cross section along CD & enlarged view (the punch is not cut); FIG. 5 - section along the aircraft in an enlarged view (the punch is not cut) FIG. 6 is a front view of part 12.

The device consists of two metal bars - / and 2, connected by a flat spring 5. On the bars, on their outer side, wooden handles 4 are fastened. A knife 6 attached to a bar / side is attached to a bar / Bar 5. Length the protrusion 7 is chosen so that both the extreme positions of the bars 1 and 2 its end adjoined to the outer side of the knife 5. Through the bar in the bar / there passes a ponson 8, which is U-shaped and has an angular cut-out below. The punches are pivotally connected with the slats 9 with the lever Y. The lever 10 can be rotated along the axis, which is fixed on the strut II. The short end of the lever enters the holder J2 attached to the rod 13. The rod 13 is fixed on the bar and passes freely through the hole in the bar.

In the lower L-shaped part 15 of the bar 2, the needle 14 is fixed by means of the screw 16, equipped with a cord for threading the cord. Above, near the point of the needle, two thin spring steel plates 17 are attached, which serve to guide and center the cutting of the leaf at the time of puncturing it on the needle.

The device operates as follows. The sheet is cut by knives 5 and 6 while the bars are pressed to 1 to 2. At the same time, the lower part of the sleeve 12

presses the short lever of the lever 10 and the punch, goes down.

The cut stalk is clamped between the corner cut-out of the punch and the spring plates 17. With further lowering of the cut-punch, the handle cuts down the plates 17 and pins on the needle 14 (Fig. 4).

The use of an angular notch on the punches and: the plates 17 provides for centering the stems in relation to the needle tip, regardless of their thickness1.

When the needle is filled with leaves, it is removed from clip 15 and the leaves, located on the needle, are moved by hand to the cord threaded into the eye of the needle 14, is located in the collector's basket.

The subject matter of the invention.
