Definitions

  • This invention is for improvementsgin or relating tocigarette makingmachinery and more particularly toa cigarettemaking machine of the continuous rodtype wherein to bacco located within a hopper is automatically fed to the rod forming rnechanis'n. ⁇
  • the consistency of the cigarettes manufactured by a machine of the above character depends largely upon the quality of the tobacco employed and the manner in which the a Further, it is found that if the tobacco in the hopper is not maintained at a constant level, the weights of the cigarettes produced by the machine are liable to vary, as also is the case when the tobacco is allowed to accumulate in dense masses without being opened out before being fed to the carding mechanism which feeds the tobaccoto the rod forming mechanism.
  • the prese-nt invention consists of a tobacco feeding apparatus for a cigarette making machine of the continuous ro d type, wherein the tobacco is automatically fed to the tobacco hopper by meansoperable to separate automatically the long and short shreds of tobacco from one another.
