crean-BUNCHING MACHINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented. Dec. 12, 1911.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN F. SCAIFE and FREDERICK J. HUETGER, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Bunching Machines, of which the following is a specitication.
Our invention relates to improvements in cigar bunching machines and the objects of our invention are as follows 1. To furnish in connection with the roller and apron of a cigar bunching machine a means, traveling with the carriage which carries the bunch forming roller, for carrying the rear end of the apron and for taking up or paying out the apron as the bunching roller is moved forward or backward; 2. To furnish certain other details of construction as hereinafter fully setv forth.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification and in which similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views z-Figure 1, is a plan of a cigar bunching machine embodying our improvements; Fig. 2, a side elevation of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a section of Fig. 1 on line A-A; Fig. 4, a section of Fig. 5 on line B-B; Fig. 5, a sectionof Fig. 3 on line C-C; Fig. 6, a section through one of the frames carrying the shaft of the bunch ing roller, and part of the roller, showing means for adjusting this roller vertically.
1 is a table, 2 metal guides upon opposite sides of table 1, 3 a depression in the top ofV table 1 to receive the bight of the apron 5 and the tobacco forming the filler preparatory to rolling the latter in the apron, 4 a roller carried by frames 10 which are carried by slides 9 which travel upon and are held in place by the guides 2 secured to t-he sides of the tableall of these parts are de scribed and illustrated in our pending application No. 595,376, filed in the United States Patent Office December 3, 1910.
One of the principal objects of our invention above referred to is to furnish in a cigar bunching machine a large flattable top upon which the bunch, after having been formed mechanically by rolling in the apron between the table top and the roller, could be conveniently rolled by hand to give it that condition, or corkiness, essential tol a well made cigar and which is only obtained by hand rolling.
In our former invention the apron was secured to the table 1 at its rear and forward ends and consequently the apron was always lying upon the table top and formed a certain obstruction when hand rolling the bunch-one of the principal objects of our present invention is to carry the rear end of the apron in such a manner that when the roller 4 has been moved to the forward end of the table the rear end of the table, the part between the operator and the roller, will be entirely unobstructed, we arrange this as follows: The frames 10 which carry the roller 4 are prolonged to their rears and carry a roller 25 to which the rear end of the apron 5 is secured, upon the shaft 26 of roller 25 is a gear wheel 27 which gears with a pinion 28 which is carried by a shaft 29, carried by one of the frames 10. Upon the shaft 29 is a pinion 30 which meshes with a rack 31 carried upon the side of the table 1. When the frames 10 and the roller 4 are pushed from the rear to the front of the table 1, in order to form the bunch in the apron between the roller 4 and the table 1 in the usual manner, the pinion 30 traveling in the rack 31 is thereby caused to revolve and drives the shaft 29 which carries and revolves the pinion 28 which meshes 'with and drives the ear 27 which causes, through shaft 26, the roll 25 to revolve and wind up the rear part of the apron. Thus as the 'roller 4 is being moved forward to mechanically form the bunc-h the rear part of the apron is carried forward with it and leaves the rear part of the table top perfectly clear for the hand rolling of the bunch after it has been discharged from the apron at the forward end of the machine. Vhen t-he roller 4 and connected parts are drawn back to the rear end of the table the apron is unwound from the roller 25 and when the rollers have been moved all the'way back the apron has been suiiiciently unrolled to receive the tobacco to form another bunch.
As in our former machine the roller 4 may be raised or lowered at either or both ends for the purpose o-f making bunches of varying shapes. In the present case the shaft 8 of roller 4 passes through vertical slot-s 13 in the frame 10 and passes through ahollow bolt 12, best shown in Fig. 6, which carries at its outer end a nut 14. By tightening nuts 14 the sides of the frames 10 are pinched between these nuts and the heads of the bolts 12 and the roller is held thereby at any desired elevation.
In a machine of this character it is very important that t-he roller 4 travel back and forth along the table top easily and that its longitudinal axis remain at all times at right angles to its line of t-ravel and as the operator usually operates the roller by pushing or pulling on one of the frames 10 the tendency is to get the roller out o-f alinement. In order to prevent this we, in the present case, join the slides 9 at opposite sides of the table 1 by a cross-head 16 which carries a slide 17 through which passes a rod 18 which is secured at opposite ends to the front and rear ends, respectively, of the table and which is parallel to the guides 2. In addi tion to this we secure at the front and rear ends of the machine, and beneath the table top 1, shafts 32 each of which carries at each end sprocket wheels 33. 34 are sprocket chains passing around the sprocket Wheels 33 the ends of which are fastened, as shown in Fig. 4, to the slides 9 and which pass through a hole 35 in these slides. The chains 34 are drawn taut and any movement imparted to either one of the slides 9 will be, through the chain secured to this slide, the sprocket wheels 33 t-he shafts 32 and the chain secured to the other slide immediately transmitted to t-he other slide.
Having thus described our invent-ion we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a cigar bunching machine, in combination, a table, a roller, slides adapted to travel longitudinally of said table for carrying said roller, an apron one end of which is secured to said table, and rotating means following the longitudinal movements of said roller to which the other end of said apron is secured.
2. In a cigar bunching machine, in com causing a rotation of said latter roller during its longitudinal movements.
3. In a cigar bunching machine, in combination, a table, a bunch forming roller, slides adapted to travel longitudinally of said table, frames carried by said slides carrying said bunch forming roller, an apron secured to the forward end of said table, a roller, carried by said frames, to which the rear end of said apron secured, a rack eX- tending longitudinally of said table, and a train of gearing connecting said apron carrying roller and said rack.
4. The combination with the table, the longitudinal guides upon opposite sides of said table, and the slides carried by said guides for carrying the bunch forming roller of a cigar bunching machine, of a shaft at each end, running transversely of, and beneath said table, sprocket wheels carried near the ends of each shaft, and an endless chain at each side of the machine, each chain being secured to the slide at its side of the machine and passing around the wheels upon the shafts.
