Patented March 7,1876.
N. PETERS, PHOTO LITHOGRAP WASHINGTON D C UNITED STATES PATENT QFFIGE,
MATTHEW F. GRIMM, OF ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN CIGAR-MACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,361, dated March 7, 1876; application filed June 7, 1875.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, MATTHEW F. GRIMM, of Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented an Imhand or by any of the machines known to this inventor. The matter of bunching the inside (known as the filler) and of putting on the cover have been the main points of difficulty. In one case the filler has been too loose, and
in another too close or tight. Adjustable molds have been employed in many ways. To remedy these difficulties is the object of this invention.
My mold is constructed with a fixed side, A, and a vibratory side, B. The side or part B is made to move on a table in a way, and is operated by a lever, G. The advantage is, that the lever, under the hand of the operator, vibrates this part B just to suit the-need in producing a perfect filler. The tobacco is laid on the table in front of the part A, and then the former is brought up with a moderate pressure against it, in the first act bunching it up. Then is brought into play the second part of the machine, (known as the piercer,) D, which consists of two or more spindles, E. These spindles are constructed with inside lines, parallel but with increasing size outwardly as they approach the shank f, and vare long enough to pass nearly through the length of the cigar. They are placed nearly in the center of the revolving shank, and are preferably made threesquare, although they may be; either round or square. The sharp corners of the spindles catch onto the tobacco in turning, and wind it around them as a center; and, indeed, one spindle or center may be so constructed with sharp corners as to be successfully used alone in turning the filler.
When, as before shown, the tobacco has been bunched, the piercer is pressed forward into the center of this bunch in the mold. It is then turned by the hand or by other power, which revolves the tobacco in the mold, and the former, under the hand of the operator, is made to vibrate close or loose, as may be required, until, by the revolution'of the tobacco, the filler is complete.
The third device is now employed, which consists in the spring-finger g, attached to the shank. This finger is made to close upon the spindle, but is thrown up when the filler is be ing formed. Under this finger, thrown down upon the cigar or filler after it is formed, is placed the edge of a leaf of tobacco for the cover of the cigar. Then the revolution of the filler and the vibratory motion of the former spread this cover evenly over the filler, giving all a perfect finish, when the piercer is withdrawn and the cuttcr'H is used to cut off the cigar.
The piercer has another use besides that of revolving the filler in the process of forming and covering. The holes it makes in the cigar form a draft for the smoke, which, in other modes of manufacture, often have to be supplied after the cigar is made.
I claim- 1. A cigar-machine comprising the adjustable vibratory former, operated substantially as described, the fixed part A of the mold, and piercer D, having the office of turning the filler in the mold, and of improving the draft in the cigar.
2. The spring-finger g, in combination with the piercer D, holding the edge of a wrapper, and the parts A and- B, operated substantially as described.
3. The cutter H, in combination with parts A, B, and D, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
