UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH P. CROWLEY, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
MEASURING-MACHINE FOR TOBACCO, 8w.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 15,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH P. CROWLEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Measuring-Machine for Tobacco, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to a machine intended particularly for use in connection with the packaging of tobacco and similar substances, but is not restricted to such use as it may be used in any connection for which it is adapted or appropriate.
The primary object of my invention is the provision of means which utilizes vacuum action to draw or gather into a receiving head a predetermined quantity of 1 tobacco or other similar matter preparatory to packaging the same.
A further object of my invention is the provision of an automatic machine for carrying out the features covered broadly by my copending application Serial No. 681,239, filed March 2, 1912.
' The invention is fully described in the following specification, and while, in its broader aspect, it is capable of embodiment in numerous forms, a preferred embodiment thereof is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a machine embodying the invention, with .a portion broken away. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section thereof taken on the line 00, m in Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged outer end view of the slide head, with a part broken away.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a pedestal or standard, which has a plurality of arms 2 fixedly radiating therefrom and supporting at their outer ends an annular i table 3, the outer edge of which is provided with an upstanding annular flange 4;
A shaft 5, which is driven in any suitable manner, projects upward through the pedestal 1 in concentric relation to the table 3 and has a wheel, of which 6 are the spokes and 7 is therim, keyed to its upper end. The wheel-rim 7 operates over the table 3 in inwardly spaced concentric relation to the table flange 4 to cooperate with, said flange and table to form an annular trough, and has a plurality of fins or arms 8 projecting Lin equidistantly spaced relation from its periphery to adjacent to said flange to serve, when the wheel is revolved, to prevent a clogging in the trough of tobacco or other similar matter deposited therein.
One only of the arms 2, in the present instance, is provided beneath the table 3 with a radial slide-way 9 of rectangular form in cross-section, which has communication through an opening 10 in its top wall with the interior of the table trough and through a pipe 11 with any suitable suction means, such, for instance, as a pump 12, said pipe opening into said slideway through the bottom thereof in opposition to the openinglO. A grate 13 is mounted in the slide-way .bottom over the associated end of the pipe 11 to prevent matter from being drawn by suction action into said pipe.
A matter receiving head 14 is mounted for reciprocatory movements in theslide- :way 9, and has a vertical opening 15 therethrough which registers with the opening 10 ;and with the inlet end of the pipe 11 when the block is in one position of its movement, i as shown in Fig. 2, thus enabling tobacco or other matter to be drawn into the slide block opening from the trough by suction action through the pipe 11. Upon an outward. movement of the slide-head 14 from the @filling position shown in Fig. v3, the open- Ling 15 moves entirely without the outer- ;end of the associated arm 2 into register at its upper end with the outlet end of .a conduit 16, which has communication with fany suitable source of air supply under pressure, whereby such air pressure. will be caused to act upon the top of the matter within the slide-head opening 15 to discharge it downward therefrom into a bag or other suitable receptacle provided therefor.
The outer side wall of the opening 10 is provided with a knife edge, as shown at 117, to cooperate with the upper marginal edge of the opening 15 to trim oil the tobacco or other matter in the ,opening 15 flush with its top when the slide-head is Zmoved outward to discharging position.
The head 14 has its inner end portion of suitable shape to close both the opening 10 and the communication between the slideway and pipe 11 when the slide-head 1s moved from matter receiving position, and also has its outer end provided with a part 1 1, which moves under and closes the outlet end of the air-pressure conduit 16 when the opening 15 of the head is out of register with such conduit. It is thus apparent that the slide-head 14, in addition to forming a matter measuring head, also acts as a valve for closing the opening 10 and inlet end of the suction pipe 11 when the opening 15 is out of register therewith, and a valve for closing the discharge end of the conduit 16 when the opening 15 is out of register therewith. The opening 15 is shown as having a portion 18 of its outer side wall movable relative to the slide-head to vary the size of the opening 15, as may be desired, said portion being adjusted relative to the head by the turning of an adjusting-screw 19 which is threaded through the outer end portion of the head and has its inner end secured for rotary movements in the portion 18.
A slide-block 20 is mounted for longitudinal reciprocatory movements in a guideway 21 in the top side of the inner end portion of the arm 2 in which the slide-head 14 is mounted, and has an adjustable connection 22 with the inner end of said head whereby the two have reciprocatory movements in unison. The block 20 carries an antifriction roller 23 on its top side and this roller works in an irregular endless camtrack 24, which is carried by the under sides of the wheel spokes 6 and coiiperates with said roller upon a rotation of the wheel 67 to impart properly timed reciprocatory movements to the slide-head 14 to move the opening 15 therein successively into matter receiving and discharging positions.
25 designates a chute through which tobacco may be discharged into the trough formed by the table 3 and wheel rim 7.
This chute is located, in the present instance, over the discharge opening 10 in the trough bottom and terminates at the upper edge of the trough to permit the wheel rim 7 to turn freely between it and the table 3.
In the use of my apparatus, the wheel 67 is set in motion to cause the cam-track 24 to coact with the roller 23 to impart properly timed reciprocatory movements to the slide-head 14, and also for the purpose of causing the arms 8 of the wheel to maintain a continual movement of the to bacco or other matter around the trough in which they operate to prevent a clogging of the same therein. Upon a movement of the head opening 15 into register with the opening 10 in the trough bottom, the suction action through the pipe 11 causes a predetermined quantity of matter to be drawn from the trough into the head opening, and
upon an outward movement of the head such matter is trimmed off flush with the top of the head opening by a shearing action of the knife 17. The outward movement of the head 11 also moves the valve part 14 of the slide-head from under the discharge end of the conduit 16 and moves the head opening 15 into register with such conduit to permit a discharge of the matter from the head opening by air pressure, while the rear end of the head moves outward to close the opening 10 and the inlet end of the pipe 11.
It is apparent that I have provided a simple and eflicient mechanism for the measuring, or what may be more properly termed the weighing, of tobacco or other matter and then discharging the same for packing purposes by pneumatic action. A machine of this character is found to be admirably adapted for the packaging of to bacco, as the size of the receiving opening 15 and the suction action through the pipe 11 may be regulated to quite accurately regulate the weight of the matter drawn into the opening 15.
I wish it understood that my invention is not limited to any specific construction or arrangement of the parts except in so far as such limitations are specified in the claims. 7
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is,
