PRESS FOR CIGAR-MOLDS.
$pecification of Letters Eatent.
Patented Feb. 16, 1915.
Application filed January 29, 1814. Serial No. 815,115.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALEXANDER GORDON, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Presses for Cigar-Molds, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to presses, and more particularly to a hand press employed for exerting a pressure upon cigar-molds.
My invention aims to provide a press of the above type wherein positive and reliable means are employed, as hereinafter set forth, for mantaining a yieldable pressure upon a cigar-mold, whereby after the press has been operated the presser head thereof can yield and preclude any possibility of cigars within the mold being subjected to excessive pressure and imperfect formation.
My invention further aims to provide a press of the above type having tension devices that can be easily and quickly adjusted to regulate the yielding proclivities of the press.
My invention will be better understood when reference is had to the drawings and the detail description thereof.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the press, partly in elevation, showing the presser head thereof in a lowered position; Fig. 2 is a detail view of the operating mechanism of the presser head showing the same in a reverse position to that illustrated in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the press partly broken away and partly in section illustrating one of the tension devices.
In the drawings, the reference numeral 1 denotes a hollow metallic base substantially rectangular in plan and adapted to be suitably secured to a table or other support. The base 1 has the sides thereof provided with off-set portions or bosses 2 in which are mounted the lower ends of oppositely disposed posts or uprights 3, said posts having the upper ends thereof reduced, as at 41, to provide annular supporting shoulders 5.
Slidably mounted upon the reduced ends 1 of the posts 3 and normally supported by the annular shoulders 5 are the tubular ends or sleeves 6 of a cross head 7. The sleeves 6 are yieldably held upon the shoulders 5 by coiled compression springs 8 encircling the upper ends of the posts, said springs being retained thereon by nuts 9 screwed upon the threaded ends of said posts. The springs 8 and the nuts 9 constitute tension devices which can be easily and quickly adjusted to regulate the yieldability of the cross head 7 relatively to the base 1.
The cross head 7, intermediate the ends thereof, has a vertically disposed tubular guide 10 and the upper end of said guide is formed integral with oppositely disposed vertical lugs or brackets 11 having apertured ears or bearings 12 and transverse pivot pins or trunnions 13. The pivot pins or trunnions 13 pivotally support the enlarged portion 11 of an operating lever 15.
The enlargement 141 has the outer end thereof beveled, as at 16, and the lower side thereof bifurcated and provided with apertured ears 1?. The ears 17 are connected by a transverse pivot pin 18 and pivotally mounted upon said pin, between the ears 17 is the upper end of a link 19. The lower end of the link 19 is pivotally mounted by av transverse pin 20 in the upper bifurcated end 21 of a rod 22 slidably mounted in the tubular guide 10 of the cross head 7. Secured upon the lower end of the rod 22 by a pin 23 or other fastening means is a presser head 24, which is supported normally in parallelism with the base 1.
The enlargement 11 of the operating lever 15 has the bottom side thereof provided with a stop or supporting lug 25 adapted to engage the upper end of the tubular guide 10 and support the operating lever 15 in a lowered position. The operating lever 15 is retained in a raised position by a flat spring or resilient arm 26 adapted to engage the beveled end 16 of the operating lever, said spring being secured to the front side of the tubular guide 10 by screws 27 or other fastening means.
As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the presser head 21 is at the limit of its down stroke and with a mold upon the base 1, the mold would be subjected to pressure. Any tendency of the presser head 21 to move the operating lever 15 is prevented by reason of the pivot pin 18 being out of alinement with the pivot pin 20 and the pivot of the operating lever 15, also by reason of the stop 25 engaging the tubular guide 10. Since the presser head 24; is locked relatively to the operating lever 15, the tension devices are brought into action should it be necessary for the presser head 24; to yield after having been brought into engage ment with the top of amold. It is therefore apparent that in order for the presser head 24 to yield relatively to the mold that'the cross head 'Z is raised upon the reduced ends of the posts 3 and the degree'ofyielding' 1 in the same. and subjected to pressure while another mold is being prepared. The tension devices permit of the cross head 7 bodily shifting after the presser head has been lowered, consequently it there is an excessive pressure at. the beginning, such pressure is v immediately relieved by the tension devices.
This is a desideratuin in the manufacture of cigars and renders an operation that has heretofore required considerable skill comparatively easy for an apprentice or those not thoroughly versedin making cigars,
I am aware of hand pressers having been used for exerting a pressure upon cigar molds, For instance, in my Patent 7 89,906, granted May 16, 1905, there is illustrated a press having a threat that is integral with the base and in connection with this type of press, it was found that there was a certain degree 015; elasticity, which preyented; an xcessive pressure, but this type of press was bject o f act r at he base o he throat and the degree of elasticity was limi e while n. my imp Pr provi; sion is made for regulating the yielding of 92939 a! t e Pa m b Qhie nee W the presser head by simply adjusting the tension devices. Eurthermore, I attach considerable importanceto the fact that the, operating lever of my improved press can be locked against accidental displacement and that if there is any excessive pressure it is necessary for the entire upper part of the press td yield, which is automatically accomplished while a mold is being prepared to replace the one in the press.
One embodiment of my invention has been illustrated, butit is tov be understood that the structural elements are susceptible to such variations and modifications. as fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim isz-r In a press for cigar molds, the combination'of a base, uprights carried thereby and provided with annular shoulders, a cross head with the endsl'thereof onthe shoulders of said uprights, tension devicesfcarried by the upperends of'said uprights, a, tubular guide: central of said cross head, brackets carried thereby, a rodr'slidable in said. guide, a presser'head' carried by the ower end of said rod, an operating. leverpivoted; between said brackets, a linlcconn'eeting said QPQ ating' leverto the upper end 0,15 said rod, d fiat pring secured to the front side of'saidtubular g id and extending wardly at an angle, to the longitudinal aX s of said guide and adapted to be engaged bythe upper side of said operating lever when released: and ae uated by said tension devices tohold'sa d l er-in substantially a vertical position.
