August 19, 1931. Serial No. 558,135.
This invention relates to an improvement in wrapping machines, particularly to that type in WlllCh a wrapper is folded into the form of an open pouch on a hollow mandrelinto which the articles, such as cigarettes, are
inserted after the ouch is completed, thereby passing through the mandrel against the closed end of the pouch and stripping the latter from the mandrel. In this type of wrapping machines a number of such mandrels are attached to a revolving turret, and a plunger entering into the mandrel at the proper time, forms a temporary end Wall of the same while the end folds of the pouch are made.
Heretofore, the end folding operations took place at different stations of the turret, thus requiring a separate plun er for each mandrel. The plungers usual y were cam operated and followed themandrel while the for each mandrel of the turret, only three plun ers are required for any number of man rels, one for forming the end wall of themandrel at the station at which the end folds of the pouch are made and two additional plungers. at the two next following stations for keeping the endfolds of the pouch in compression to assure a good and, tight seal of the same. With this and other objects not specifically mentioned in view the invention consists in certain constructions and combinations which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically set forth in he claims hereunto appended. In the improved operating mechanism, the
case is horizontal, it is possible to obtain on fying the machine. Instead of one plunger plungers are mounted on a slide which is con nected through a link to a swingable arm operated through a connecting rod by a revolving crank. By giving the connecting rod a greater length than the radius of the crank and by so disposing the operating members that the connecting rod at the end of its stroke is parallel with the direction of the motion of the plungers, which in this the vertical portion of the crank movement, a practical stand-still or dwell of the operat= ing arm and thereby also of the slide and the plungers, while on the horizontal .portions of the crank movement the arm moves the slide and plungers'with maximum speed which is desirable as at these points the plungers enter and leave a mandrel. In order to still further increase the duration of dwell of the end forming plunger by a desired amount, the latter is yieldingly mounted in its slide by'jmeans of an adjustable spring so that it will remain at rest against a stop near the end of its stroke while its slide moves on to the end of the forward-stroke. On the two fold compressing plungers, the springs are made somewhat heavier than on the fold forming plunger, as on these the springs have the additional function of causing the. plungers to press the freshly pasted end folds against rubber cushions for setting the seal.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification and in which like characters of reference indicate the same or like parts, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved plunger operating mechanism; Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, seen from line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the slide, taken on line 3'3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a sectional side elevation showing one of the compressing plungers in operation; Fig. 5 is an end elevation of a 01'- tion of the turret, showing the'three stations at which the plungers are applied and Fig. 95 6 is a diagram of the motion of the plun er operating mechanism, showing the relation F of the operating members in difi'erent positions. j
In carrying the invention in to effect. 1%
there is provided a plurality of hollow mandrels mounted on a turret and adapted to have a pouch formed thereon, a slide, a plurality of plungers yieldingly mounted on the slide and means for reci rocatin the slide to move the plungers in-an out of t 1e mandrels. In the best form of construction one of the plungers is adapted to be engaged by a stop to produce a dwell in its motion when it closes the far end of its mandrel before the slide reaches the end of its forward stroke, and the other plungers are arranged to compress and seal the folded ends of the pouch formedover the closed end of the mandrel atthe preceding station of the turret. These various means and parts may be widely varied in construction within the scope of the claims, for the particular device selected to illustrate the invention is but one of many possible concrete embodiments of the same. The invention, therefore is not to be restricted to the specific construction shown and described.
Referrin to Figs. 1 and 2, the plunger operating mec anism is actuated from the mam drive of the wrapping machine by a shaft 10 mounted in a bearing bracket 11 supported on the base of the wrapping machine. On shaft 10 is mounted a disk crank 12 carrying a crank pin 13 on which is pivoted a connecting rod 14 connected to a swingable arm 15 by means of a stud 16. Arm 15 is loosely mounted on a shaft 17 sup orted by a bearing lug 18 of bracket 11 an by a bearing in main frame 19 of the wrapping machine. Arm 15, throu h a link 20, is connected to a slide 21 guide by slide bracket 22 mounted on the base of the machine.
