IMPROVEMENT IN lGAR-MOLDS.
I Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. RSLLSQS, dated December 31, 1872.
To all whom fit may concern:
BeV it known that I, SAMUEL G. RICE, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Device for Molding Bunches for Cigars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof the machine complete. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section taken vertically between two mold-boxes; and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken vertically through a mold-box.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
This invention relates to certain improvementswhich are designed for pressing cigarbunches into molds, so as to give the bunches a uniform shape, size, and density' preparatory to applying the final wrappers to them, as will be hereinafter explained.
. To enable others skilled in the art to understand my invention I will describe it.
In the accompanying drawing, A represents the bed or bottom mold-plate, which is cast inone piece with a number of oblong parallel concavities eorrespondingin shape and size to the shape and size of the bunches of tobacco which it is desired to press in them. There are ten of these halimold cavities represented in the plate A; but it is obvious that by increasing the width of this plate anynumber of half molds may be made in it. On one edge of plate A are cast anumber of lugs, c c',with` round connecting bars or pintles g between them, which bars are all in the same lineand at right angles to the length of the mold cavities. The lugs c are intended for strengthening the bars g, and the lugs -c', which are between the lugs c, are intended for a purpose presently explained. D D represent the covers, each one of which is constructed with two mold cavities, A2, which, with the lower cavities A1, complete the mold when the covers are shut, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Each cover is constructed with two hooks, h h, and
a'tongue, e, 011 one end. The hooks h h engage beneath one of the bars g on opposite sides of the lug c', while the tongue lies over the lug c', as clearly shown in the drawing. By these means a hin ge-j oint is formed for each cover, which will allow the covers to be readily detached from the bed of the molds at pleasure.
To detach a cover it is swung back in a horizontalposition and moved away from the bar g. A cover cannot be detached from its bar g when in any other position than that described, viz., a horizontal backward position, for the reason that the tongue e holds the hooks h h up close to the bar g; but in the latter position the tongue e lies beneath a flattened portion of the lug c', which allows the hooks h h to be detached from their bar g.
, When the covers D are closed over their respective mold-beds, and bunches of tobacco are placed in the molds, the covers are forcibly depressed and coniined down by means of wedges G, which are driven beneath iianges b formed on the upper ends of curved portions B, as shown in the drawing.
It will be seen from the above description that I am enabled to produce the mold-bed complete of one piece of east-metal readyfor use without subsequent tlnishing; and this is also the case withrespect to the covers D. The machine can thus be made very cheap, at the same time it is simple and easily manipulated.
I prefer to make the entire machine, except the wedges D, of cast-iron, for the reason that this metal will not communicate a bad taste to the cigars, nor will itabsorb any of the virtues from the cigars.
Having described my invention, claim as new` and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isV
1. Theiiattened lug e and rod g, cast with the mold-bed A, in combination with the hooks h and tongue e, cast with the cover D, forniing a separable hinge for this cover, substantially as described.
2. The curved portions B with flanges b, formed on the mold-bed A, in combination with the removable hinged cover D and wedge C, substantially as described.
