SOGB-ATES SCHOLFIELD, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN ClGAR-MACl-HNES.
Specification'forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,567, dated September 24, 1872; antedated September To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that LSOCRATES SCHOLFIELD, of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented an improved mode of determining the proper size of cigar-filler bunches by machinery, of which 7 the following is a specification:
A is an apron, upon'which the tobacco is to be first placed. B B are shears for trimming the ends of the fillers to'the required length. 0 O are two geared feed-rolls operated by means of the lever D, upon which is pivoted the ratchetdog cl engaging with the ratchetwheel E. The shears B B may have either a reciprocating or a rotary motion; and in the latter case they may be connected with the gear E by means of the gear F, as shown. The knife G is secured to the slide H and operated by means of the lever I. The tobacco, after passing the rolls 0 U, gradually fills the chamber L, into which it enters, and expands against the force of the spring K. WVhen the tobacco has been fed into the chamber L in sufticient quantity to overcome the tension of in order that the proper quantity of tobacco may be cut off and removed from the machine.
held by the springing together of the jaws,
and may then be conveyed by hand to the point desired and emptied from the chamber. In placing this detachable chamber in the machine the lower jaw may be caught under the strip 0, theupper jaw being also caught in the groove 1?, with the spring K pressing against the rear to hold it in place. Now, wheneverthe chamber is forced back by the resulting pressure, the upper jaw will pass out of the groove 1? and. snap down upon the inclosed fillers, thus indicating the proper time for the action of the knife, or any other suitable mode of indicating the enlargement or movement of the chamber L may be used.
It will be readily seen that by this improved mode of sizing fillers the proper adjustment of the tension of the spring K will produce either a large or a small sized filler in the same chamber, since inone case it may be packed harder than in the other.
I claim as my invention The geared pressure-rolls U G, knife G,.1oose detachable chamber L, and spring K, operating substantially as described.
