. Speciiication forming part off-Letters Patent No. 176,637, dated April 25, 1876 ;v application tiled June26,1875. v f
To all whom it mail concernr l-Be it known that I, GEORGE W. HOWELL,
of Covington, inthe county ot' Kenton and State ot' Kentucky, have discovered certain new and useful,Improvements,inthe Art of Pressing Plugs of'TObacco, and have invented machinery for practicing `such art, of which thefollowingis a specification:`
This invention relates to machines for making plug-tobacco;` and theimprovelnents consist of a novel construct-ion and arrangement lof parts, which are fully hereinafter described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
y plungerarm. with ya1-1ti;friction roller S, drivenl by the cam A, which is irregular, as shown. C isa guide'for the arm B to play through; Z, the plungerdleadattached to the arm, as
shown, sothat it'may be removed and re! placed by one of difterentsize; D, anabutment, moving up and down in a groove, and
, situated on the lever O, which carries a -frction-roller, M, and is operated by Athe irregular cam N. EL is a strong carrying-frame' for the abutment, ladjustable O11 the rods V; J, a guiderconnected Vvvith the weightedlever L bythe rodpU,-and through L is opened and closed by virtue-ofthe Weight on and .the
contactV of L `with the projection K on cani A. Only one guide is shown; but,it' desired,
` a similar one maybe used at the opposite side.' Gr isa former, corresponding insize tothe size of plug to be pressed, and E is a` chute,into Which the un pressed plugsare put F-is a strong box the vsize of the plugs, but ot' Aany length, intended to receive the plugs after being pressed. 'It' may be bolted together or hinged. Q represents a sliding sustaining-head, which may bekept in contact with the received plugs by a cord'` and Weight, or anyother' suitable means; but
.ger is advanced and the guides J gradually closed on the ends of the plug, so as to pm. pare it for entering the mold Without injury to its Wrapper. The plunger' continues to advancevuntil the desired compression has A been effected, when, being released from force by virtue of a recess in thecam, it is caused to slightly recede by the weighted lever P. Atthe same time, M having been released by the cam N,,thefabutment D drops by its own gravity, so as to leave a free passage for the plug to pass to the receiver, and
immediately the plunger advances again, but v withdiminished pressure, and forces the plug into the receiver F. This being accomplished, S is released from pressure by itscaln, and the lever P bringsfthepluuger back to its original position, as seen at Fig. 2,; and just before this movement is completed, Mhaving come in contact with its cam, the lever O forces the abutment D back to its original position. At the same time, L having come in contact with K, the guide J is opened, and
another plug having dropped out ot' the chute' immediately after the' plunger passed in Vfront of its discharge-oritice, everything is ready to repeat the operation, each plug, as it is deposited in the receiver, advancing-.those preceding it.` This may be continued untilthe 1 plugs are forced out at the other end, or the receiver maybe removed with its charge and replaced by another.
Themachine is made inclined, so as to cause the plugs, as they drop from the chute,.to recline Vagainst the head of the plunger, and thereby secure their being carried into the mold edgewise.
It is obvious that the process may be prac ticed with great rapidity, and that the pressl gerZ, the whole constructed and arranged to ure to which the plugs may be subjected'is operate substantially as herein shown middeonly limited by the endurance of the metal. scribed.
Having thus described my invention, what -In testimony whereof I have hereunto set I claim is- -Y my hand this 23d day of' June, 1875.
