Description
UNITED STATES LUOIUS S. STIMSON, DEOEASED, OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS, BY HARRIET PATENT FFICE.
N. STIMSON, ADMINISTRATRIX, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND MOSES S- MOULTON, OF SAME PLAGE; SAID MOULTON ASSIGNOR TO NELSON F.
LIBBY.
IMPROVEMENT IN CIGAR-CUTTING MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 109, 153, dated November 8, 1870.
To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, LUCIUS S. STIMSON, of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Cutting Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ot' reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in providing a machine with suitable knives or cutters for the purpose of cutting and iinishing cigars, operating together substantially as hereinafter specied.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
Figure l represents an end elevation of my improved machine. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of the salne.
In the different figures the same letters refer to identical parts.
a represents the handle, which can either be fast or movable, and attached to the piston b,- c, the pedestal or stand, with its bearings l and e, through and in which the piston b is allowed to slide freely; f, the spiral spring which encircles the piston b, one end resting or pressing on the bearing c, the other end pressing against the pin g inserted in the piston b. It is the movable cross-cutter, which is attached to the piston b, its cutting-surface being of an oval shape. Attached to this cutter, or to the bottom of the piston b, is the longitudinalstraight cutter t; j, the bottom stationary cutter, its cutting surface corresponding in shape with the cutter h, which is attached to the bed-piece 7c by means of the cap l. To the bed-piece k the stand c is irmly secured. The bed-piece 7c is so formed or cut away so that the cutter 7L will slide freely, leaving a seat, my, which is covered with hide or any other equivalent material.
This seat serves to support the end of the cigar when being cut oft", and also receives the cuttingedge and stops the cutters h andt'when passing across the cigar and dividing the waste end. The cutting-edges of these cutters h and t are peculiarly constructed, their edges projectin inward, so that they do not come in contact with the smooth surface. This construction presents less friction and less liability for the edges to become dull. The mot-ion ot the upper cutter, h, in connection with the lower cutter, j, actually produces and causes a selfsharpening process.
The bed-piece It being firmly secured in its proper position and required location, the operator places the cigar on the bed-piece lf, which bedpiece may be grooved or not to receive the cigar, the unfinished end projecting through the cutters It andj, so as to give the cigar any given length required; then, with a stroke or quick pressure of the hand on the handle a, forces down the piston b, which carries the cutters h and t' down through the cigar until the cutterz' comes in contact with the seat m, the form and size ot' the cutters h and j corresponding with the size ofthe cigar.
The moment the cutters come in contact with the cigar their edges nearly encircle its periphery or outside, and by this means, the wrapper being cut first, and the center last, leaves the end to be lighted perfectly smooth and round.
I disclaim the splitting-cutter t' and seat my.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the two concave cutters 7L and j, substantially as and for the purpose herein specitied.
L. S. STIMSON.
