Definitions

  • This invention relates to tobacco feeds for continuous rod cigarette machines, its main object being to provide means for independs ently changing from time to time the speed of the tobacco feed measuringdrum, thereby controlling the amount of tobacco to be fed to the continuous running paper strip.
  • the speed adjustment in the present 1nvention is accomplished by driving the filler or measuring drum from the shaft of the main drum by a set of gear wheels variably connected through a pair of expansion pulleys and a V-shaped belt.
  • the belt seat of each of these expansion pulleys is made up of a stationary and a movable conical flange, the two movable flanges being attached to the fork ends of a pivoted double lever which is operable by a hand wheel.
  • Fig. l is a sectional side view of a tobacco feed for a cigarette machine, showing the application of the variable speed drive to its measuring drum;
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional end view of the same
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the variable speed drive unit
  • Fig. 4 is a side view of drive unit.
  • a cigarette machine tobacco feed having a feed drum and a filler or measuring drum, and means for selectively driving said filler drum at different speeds without altering the speed of the other parts of the feed to vary the quantity of tobacco delivered by. the feed.
  • the filler drum driving means includes a belt and two expanding pulleys deriving their motion from a constant speed shaft of the feed and delivering it to the variable speed shaft of said filler drum.
  • the tobacco feed of the cigarette machine consists of a housing 10 containing the tobacco magazine and the various feed drums and belts, the said housing being mounted on a frame 11.
  • the main drum 12 which picks the variable speed supported by studs and 21 mounted in oted to fork lever which, through stud 36,
  • a pulley 43 is pivoted'on lever 44, looselymounted on shaft 13 and connected to bracket, 37' bymeans of a spring45.
  • the'qu'antity oftobacco picked up by the main drum 12 is regulated by themeasuring drum 14 whichmoves in the opposite direction, throwingithe surplus tobacco back into the magazine. tobacco carried along by 14' is removed by the beater 46.
  • Thetobacco carried by the main drum 12 is taken off by thepicker roller 47 a fan 48 placed beneath the picker roller 47 directingthe stream of. the 'tobacco onto the feed belt 49 whichlcar ries itto the pin roller 50 onto which itxis guided by the pressure roller 51.
  • a second picker roller 52 takes the tobacco off the pin roller 50 and delivers it through a guide chute 53 onto the continuous runningpaper strip ing: drum 14 which removes more tobacco from the pick up drum and thuscauses the.
  • the lever 35 will,- by its double action, vary the. effective diameter and speed of'the pulleys 24,- 26-and 25', 27: and quicklychangethe amount of the" tobacco fed to the paper strip, and the density of: the cigarette rod canthus be readily adjusted tovarying conditions of the tobacco.
  • tobacco-feed comprising. a constant speed feed :drum for feedingtobacco, a measuring drum for removing surplus tobacco from thefeed drum, and variable speed d riving means for the measuring. drum operative while the measuring drum is running for selectively driving it at different speeds.
  • a tobacco feed comprising a constant speed feed drum :for feed ngrtobacco, a measuring. drum. for removing surplus tobacco from the feed drum, and variable speed driving means for the measuring drum, said driving means including expansion pulleys. con-- 'nected to thefeed drum and measuringdrum respectively, driving means connecting. said pulleys, .and means for expanding and closingcsaicl pulleys whereby to vary the speed of'said measuring. drum.
