Definitions

  • This invention is for improvements in a hopper apparatus for feeding tobacco to cigarette making machines and more particularly to an improved back plate for use in connection with such apparatus, and has for its object the provision of means whereby the level of the tobacco is maintained constant in the hopper of a cigarette making machine.
  • the present invention consists of a back plate, for use in a hopper apparatus for feeding tobacco to a cigarette making machine, which is adapted to continuously oscillate towards and away from the feedmg mechanism whilst its mean position is simultaneously advanced towards said mechanism.
  • the present invention consists of a hopper apparatus for feeding tobacco to a cigarette making machine wherein the back plate thereof is adapted to oscillate continu-ously towards and away from the feeding mechanism whilst its mean position is simultaneously advanced towards said mechanism.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates one method of carrying the invention into effect
  • Fig. 2 is a modified construction of the apparatus illustrated in Fig. 1.
  • tobacco is placed in the back of the hopper 1 and the back plate 2 thereof, is held in its rearmost position by the weight 27.
  • tobacco is fed by the belt 3, to the combing roller 4, upon which it is brushed by the roller 5, which removes any surplus tobacco from the surface thereof.
  • the tobacco is 55 conveyed upon the combing roller 4 beneath a comb 6, whereupon a picker roller 7 transfers the tobacco from the combing roller 4 on to the surface of a distributor 8, in the form of a belt, from which the tobacco is removed by a picker roller 9 into the throat 10 of a cigarette making machine.
  • the back plate 2 is pivotally mounted at its lower end and is oscillated towards and away from the combing roller 1 by an arm 11, which is connected at one end to a crank 12 adapted to rotate about its axis.
  • the arm 11 is provided at its free end with ratchet teeth 13 which engage with the free end of the back plate 2.
  • a link 14 connected to a ratchet sector 16 is periodically moved forward by a pawl 15 actuated from the main drive of the machine so as to vary the inclination of the back plate 2.
  • the back plate 2 is connected to a sector 17 which is adapted to rotate freely upon a spindle 18.
  • the toothed sec tor 17 is adapted to engage with a toothed wheel 19 which is secured to a ratchet 20 adapted to be rotated by means of a pawl 21 operated through the medium of the crank 22 and spring 28.
  • the spindle of the pinion wheel 19 is connected to a lever 26 which is pivotally secured to an arm 24, secured at its free end upon a crank 25.
  • the crank 25 moves about its centre it causes the lever 26 to fulcrum about the spindle 18 and oscillate the sector 17 through the medium of the pinion wheel 19.
  • the oscillatory movement of the sector 17 is imparted to the back plate 2.
  • the crank 22 moves the pawl 21 so as to rotate the ratchet wheel 20 and thereby vary the inclination of the back plate 2.
  • a hopper apparatus for feeding tobacco to a cigarette making machine wherein the back plate is adapted to be continuously oscillated towards and away from the feeding mechanism Whilst its mean position is sinmltaneously advanced towards the said mechanism.
  • a hopper apparatus for feeding tobacco to a cigarette making machine wherein the back plate of the hopper is constantly oscillated towards and away from the feeding mechanism, Whilst its mean position is 10 FELIX FREDERIG RUAU.
