Definitions

  • the present invention relates to tobacco spreaders' for cigarette machines.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical cross section through the improved apparatus
  • Fig. 2 is a similar cross section with the parts in questionin difl'erent-.posi tions.
  • Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section through the channel.
  • Fig. 4 shows a modified form of channel' "Figs 5 to 8 illus'trate embodiments in which the plung'ers are replacedby resilient fingers, Fig. 5 being a vertical cross section through the apparatus, Fig. 6 a detail- ,View from the side, while Figs. 7 and 8 show a modified form of presser in elevationand in plan View.
  • the cut tobacco is located in a hopper 1 and is'fed to the usual take .up' roller 5 in known ma'nner by the band 2 forming the ,bottom of the hopper.
  • Theband passes over the rollers 3 and l, its upper flight moving in the direction of the arrow.
  • the pins of this roller 5 grip the tobacco and entrain a layer of tbacco which is V 5 and 6.
  • the spacing of the walls 11, 12 is such as to suit the quantity of tobacco arriving.
  • the front wall 11 of the channel which may be in one with the inclined track 8, is m'ounted so as to be vertically movable.
  • Guide members 13 Secured to the wall 11 of I the channel and having vertical slots co-operate with guide pins 14 extending into the Slots.
  • the vertical movement is efiiected by hell-cra'nk levers 15 which are mounted on fixed pivots 16 and one arm of each of whichis fitted with a roller 17 engaging the 'under side of a projection 18 on the wall 11, while 'the other arm is fitted with roller 19 tracking a cam 20 which is secured to the shaft 21 and which rotates in the direction of the arrow.
  • rock levers 22, 23 which are pivotally connected to the upper and lower cnds of the wall 12 at 24, 25 and thercwith form a link parallelogram.
  • the upper levers 22 are formed as bell-crank levers andthe free end of each is fit-ted with a roller 26 tracking the cam 27 Secured to the shaft 28 and rotating in the direction of the arrow.
  • the levers 22, 23 are rocked and as a result the wall 12 is raised and moved away somewhat from the wall 11 as indicated in Fig. 2. 4
  • the lower end of the front wall 11 is pressed by a presser lever 29 against a shaped member or concave 30 which in conjunction with the pin roller 31 forms the lower closnre of the channel.
  • the shaped member on the side nearest the pin roller 31 is arranged concenti-ic with this roller and' at a distance from the roller equal to the length of the pins.
  • the pin-roller 31 rotates in the direction of the arrow and co-operates with a second pin roller 32 .so arranged that the tobacco i'ed forwards by the first pin roller 31 over the edge m of the shaped member 30 is led by the roller 32 into the hop'per 33, 'from which the tobacco passes on to the feed hand 34 leading in the direction tow ards the vigan-.tte machine into the U-shaped groovc 35.
  • Fig. 2 shows the raised position of the plunger 36.
  • Each plunger is provided at its uper end with a further projection 46, which permits the plunger to be lowered only until the projection 46 rests on the guide bar 37.
  • the movements of the walls 11, 12 and of the plungers 36 are socontrolled that with' the pl'ungers in raised position the opening 10 is free and fresh tobacco can pass into the channel'.
  • the rear wall '12 is moved away somewhat from the front wall 11 for the purpose of releasing the tobacco, and at the same time the two walls 11, 12 are raised. Then the walls 11, 12 move towards one another and at the same time move downwards, so that the tobacco in the ch annel is pressed somewhatslightly laterally and also moved downwards.
  • the actuating levers 40 release the plungers which bear with their weight on the tobacco in the channel.
  • the plungers sink more or less dependent on the density of the tobacco in the difierent parts of the channel as is clear from Fig. 3.
  • the weight of the plungers can be regnlate-d to correspond to the properties of the grades of tobacco to be treated by making v the plmgers partly hollow at the upper end fil): the introduction of weights 47 or the li e.
  • FIG. 4 A modification is illustrated in Fig. 4 in which the two walls 11,12 of the channel are not arranged for conjoint bodily recipro-. caton, but the rear wall can be rased somewhat. Over the adjacent faces of the inelined walls 11, 12 are led the flights 48, 49 of endless bands which pass around the guide pulleys 50, 51, 52, 53 and move in the direction of the arrow. These slowly mov- ⁇ ing bands grip the tobacco in the channel and p feed the tobacco in the channeldownwards in dependence on the speed of operation of the -pin roller 31.
