Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for the simultaneous production of a numberof cigarettes.
  • a strip of cigarette paper is unwound'from a-bobbin'by meansv of a transporter and broughtv into a position opposite 'to a number of members in which the paper, after it has been divided by simultaneously'mov'ed knives into a number of parts corresponding to the number ofcylin- 10 drical cases can he slipped simultaneously into the said cases 'for'the preparation of the cigarettes.
  • ram which is so constructed as to be movable up and down and also rotatable and which rolls up thepaper in the case into a tube, tamps the tobacco one or-moretimes, and expels the cigarette from the case.
  • the feeding of the paper into the desired position over the cylindrical cases is obtained by means of periodically moved endless steel bands which are. provided with preferably resilient clamps, the mutual distances of which correspond to the length of the paper necessary for the number ofcigarettes to be simultaneously prepared, duringeach period of operation which grip the paper coming from the bobbin or storage roll and guide it to the cigarette members.
  • the group of cylindrical cases consists of a row of cylinders, each provided with a gap which is provided along a generating line and into'which, for all the cylinders at the same time, a piece of the cut-up strip of cigarette paper is pushed.
  • a v 1 This pushing in of the paper is effected by means of pushers which are movedsimultaneously with the cutting knives and; which push the paper immediately after it is cut ofl along
  • amovable fill- 7 ing hopper Above each case-is arranged amovable fill- 7 ing hopper, which is provided witha prolongation piece which islocated in the centre line of the case and around which one of the outer ends of the paper sleeve is coiled, the paper being held fast if necessary in case of need by a nipping device round the extension plece.
  • Figure 7 shows thefunctioningof the For the rolling of the paper sleeve the ram H inner wall of the case andcarry it round during the rotation of the ram.
  • a distributing- 1 roll For the feeding of the tobacco into the cylindrical cases there isfitted a distributing- 1 roll, which isprovided on its periphery with a number of grooves for each cylindrical case corresponding to the number of stadia on which the fillings of thepaper tube isefiected.
  • the grooves move during the rotation ofthe;- roller in their highest. position past apertures in the tobacco storage hopper and thereupon discharge their contents in thelowest polsition into the hoppers that feed the paper tu es.

  • FIGS 21. 22 and 23 show the tobacco roller with adjustable capacity and accessories.
  • the machine illustrated in the drawings serves for the continuous preparation of twenty cigarettes at a time.
  • the paper is guided along the cylinders, whereupon it-is cut up by the shears into a number of pieces equal to the number of cigarettes to be prepared.
  • the rams rotate the paper into tubes.
  • the tubes are then folded in at the lower end. Then commences the filling of the tubes in one or more operations, and the tamping of the tobacco, whereupon the tubes are folded in at the top by means of folding arms, and the cigarettes are pushed out of the cylinders by the rams.
  • the motor ( Figure 1) by means of belt pulleys 2, 3, 4 and 5 drives a shaft 6. From this main shaft 6, all the movements of the machine parts are obtained.
  • the paper supply ( Figures 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6)
  • bevel wheels 7 and 8 By means of bevel wheels 7 and 8 is driven a shaft 9, which transmits its motion by meansof belt pulleys 10 and 11 and bevel wheels 12 and 13 to the roller 14 of a papertransporter.
  • the pulley 10 is therefore provided on part of its periphery with a pad, which, during part of the revolution of the shaft 9, by greater tension of the belt, effects the trans mission to the pulley 11, while during the remainder of the time the belt merely hangs loosely against the pulley 10 and no transmission takes place.
  • the clamps 22 and the bars 23 are made of india-rubber or other preferably resilient material.
  • a device not shown provides for the automatic stoppage of the machine in the event of the paper breaking or of the paper on the bobbin being consumed.
  • Cam discs 28 arranged on the latter move a rod 30 to and fro by means of levers 29.
  • the paper 24 may be cut off in such a way that a small margin projects past the gap 40. .
  • the pushers 39 then make a small fold in the paper when push ng 1t m.
  • the up-omcZ-down movement of the rams ( Figures 1, J; and?)
  • the up-and-down movement of therams is effected as follows
  • a cam disc 49 mounted on the shaft 6.and a roller50 a bar 51 is moved up and down at moments tobemore accurately indicated hereafter, whereby the rams 42 rotatably secured to a cross bar 52' likewise go up and down owing to rods 53.
  • the cam members 145' comprise on their peripheries portionsthat overlap-in such a way that the" roller 50, inthe case of a more or less open or separated arrangementof the cam members,"always rolls easily over the cams.
  • v s V It is clear that by this 'adjustmentof the cams the duration of the cams can be controlled.
  • the disc 144 like the disc 49, comprises readily removablecams. According to the height chosen-for these cams, the shaft 138 1s rocking to a greater or. less extent, and,
  • the tobacco feed ( Figures 1, 2, f; and 10)
  • the cam disc 49 comprises engaging cams A tobacco-feeding roller 70 secured to a shaft69 is driven from. the shaft 27 by means of chain pulleys 71 and 72.
  • roller is provided for each cylindrical case with a number of grooves corresponding to the'number of stadia in which the filling of the paperitube must be effected.
  • the cubic measure of these grooves is adjustable according to the size'of the paper tube. Therefore the roller is provided with two rings for each cylindrical case,'liaving jeach over a quarter .of the periphery a latorally prOJecting" piece 149, which is reduced on the periphery inorder to be covered by a tobacco in a storage receptacle 73 isfcarried round by r (iil plate 150. By displacing the rings 148 with respect to each other the length of the grooves can be enlarged or reduced.
  • the grooves for each cylindrical case are separated by a dis tance piece 151, secured by small screws 152 to the roller 70.
  • a disc 84 Upon the shaft 27 there is in the centre a disc 84, provided with a peripheral groove 85, in which a roller 86 can slide.
  • a lever 87 receives an oscillating movement about a shaft 88. This movement is trans mitted by rods 89 and 90 to shafts 93 and 94.
  • the grippers In order to enable thetubes to be folded in at the top, the grippers must releasethe tubes at a certain instant. This is effected by the arms 113 and 114 being then rotated by projections 118 and 119 respectively on battens 116 and 117 respectively about pivots 115. The closed position, as illustrated, of the grippers is obtained by tension springs 120 being secured between the arms 113 and 114 of adjacent grippers.
  • the moving of the battens 116 and 117 is obtained in the following manner:
  • a ram 127 may be employed.
