Definitions

  • This invention relates to cigarette machine tobacco feeds, its main object being to provide means for conveniently taking care of trouble arising during the tobacco feeding opera- 5 tion of a continuous rod cigarette machine,
  • the present invention in order to enable the ready correction of such trouble, provides the following means: (1) a breaker comb with which engages the repicker roll of the repicker drum, thereby cutting up the stem portions and tobacco lumps which have escaped the devices provided in the tobacco feed for their removal; (2) a bodily movable gate forming part of the front wall of the tobacco delivery chute, thereby making the delivery end of the tobacco chute accessible to ready inspection and removal of obstructions; and a hinged or pivoted portion at the forward end of the paper feed trough, thereby providing access to the cigarette rod at the delivery end of the trough.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional end elevation of a portion of the tobacco feed showing the breaker comb and the gate provided on the tobacco vdelivery chute 1931. Serial No. 531,757.
  • Fi 2 is a front elevation of the chute and trough showing the bodily movable gate and the hinged portion of the trough;
  • Fig. 3 is a detail sectional View taken on line 33 of Fig. 1, showing the arrangement of the breaker comb;
  • Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view taken on line 44 of Fig. 2, showing the arrangement of the pivoted portion of the trough.
  • a chute In carrying the invention into effect there is provided a chute, means above said chute for showering tobacco thereinto, means for removing tobacco from the bottom of said chute, and means Working in said chute for breaking up pieces of stem entering the chute.
  • the means for removing the tobacco from the bottom of the chute includes a trough having .a pivoted portion adapted to be swung outwardly to give access to the cigarette paper strip.
  • the breaking means includes a breaker comb and a rotating roll having pins projectinginto the spaces between the teeth of the comb to break the pieces of stem arrested thereon, and the chute is preferably provided with a movable gate forming a portion of its front wall and adapted to be swung outwardly and upwardly to give access to the interior of the chute.
  • side brackets 5 of a pedestal frame carry the hopper 6 and, by means of hand screws 7, hold the chute 8 through which tobacco T is fed to the paper strip P as it passes through the trough 9 which is held by screws 10 to a bracket '11 supported on the base 12 of the cigarette machine.
  • the paper P is guid ed by cover strips 13, the tobacco filled paper strip upon emerging from said trough passing into the rod former 14 in which it is closed into the form of a cigarette rod C which is subsequently sealed and cut into individual cigarettes.
  • the tobacco T is carried by a feed belt 15 to the carded feed drum 16 from which the tobacco, after the surplus has been removed by a picker drum, not shown, is thrown by a picker roiler 17 against an angularly adjustable wall 18, along which it passes onto a small repicker drum 19 on which it is pressed by feed roll 19a and from which a repicker roll 20 delivers it into the chute 8.
  • the end of the concave 21, which forms a part of the chute surrounds aportion of the picker drum 19 and is arranged to project into the path of the pins on the repicker roll 20 and is provided with a breaker comb formed by slots 22 permitting passage of the pins so that they will cut through the stem S when the latter is arrested by the teeth of the breaker comb.
  • a guard 23 partly surrounding repicker roll 20 closes the gap between the tobacco chamber 6 and the rear wall of chute 8.
  • the chute 8 which consists of two wedge shaped end walls 24 to which are attached the front wall 25 and the rear wall 26, is pro vided with 'a bodily movable gate 27 forming a portion of its front Wall.
  • a shaft 28 supported in lugs 29 at the front of end walls 24 has a handle 30 fixed thereon at one end and a lever 31 fixed thereon at the other end, while a shaft 32, similarly supported by lugs 33 in walls 24 at the back of the chute, has levers 34 fixed thereon at both ends.
  • the handle 30 and the levers 31 and 34 are joined by pins 35 to lugs 36 of gate 27.
  • the pins 35 are loose in the handle and levers and fixed in the lugs 36, so that by swinging the handle 30 into the dotted position 30 in Fig.
  • the gate 27 is raised into position 27, giving access to the paper strip P along the entire length of trough 9.
  • the handle lever 30 has lugs 37 in which is pivoted a lever 38 held .down against one side of a stop block 39-by a spring 40.
  • the spring 40 In gripping the handle of lever 30, the spring 40 is compressed and the end of lever 38 is raised so that it can now pass over block 39, against the other side of which it is then held upon the release of the handle.
  • Side guides 41 extending from the hub of handle 30 take up the strain due to the weight of gate 27 which would otherwise be exerted on the pivot of lever 38 when the gate is in its raised position.
  • the delivery end of the trough 9, adjacent to therod former 14, in which trouble due to the presence of obstructions is most likely to occur, isdivided on the vertical center line into two parts, the part 42 so separated being hinged by a vertical pin 43 to the main part of the trough so that it may be swung horizontally as shown in Fig. 4, thereby giving access to a portion of the side of strip P as well as to its top which is already part 1y exposed by opening gate 27 of the chute.
  • To the bottom of the stationary part of trough 9 is attached to the bottom of the stationary part of trough 9 a bracket 44 carrying a lug 45 for the reception of pivot pin 43.
  • the part 42 with its portion of the guide strip 13 attached thereto, is fastened to a swingable bracket 46 having a similar lug 47 fitting upon lug 45 and carrying the pin 43.
  • T ie swingable bracket 46 is provided with a slotted side extension 48 by means of which it is held in closed position by tightening a hand screw 49 tapped into the stationary portion of trough 9.
  • a chute of means above said chute for showering tobacco thereinto, means for removing tobacco from the bottom of said chute, and means working in said chute for breaking up pieces of stem entering said chute, said chute being provided with a gate forming a portion of one of its walls, and manually operable linkage for moving said gate bodily to permit access to said chute.
  • a cigarette machine feed the combination with a chute, of means above said chute for showering tobacco thereinto, means for removing tobacco fromthe bottom of said chute, and means working in said chute for breaking up pieces of stem entering said chute, said means for removing'tobacco from the bottom of said chute including a trough underlying the delivery end of said chute and adapted to guide the cigarette paper strip into position to receive tobacco from said chute, said trough having a pivoted portion adapted to be swung outwardly out of position to give access to said strip.
  • a tobacco feeding chute having a gate forming a portion of one of its walls, and manually operable linkage for moving said gate bodily to permit access to the chute.
  • a tobacco feeding chute having a gate forming a portion of one of its walls, and manually operated linkage for moving said gate upwardly and outwardly to permit access to the chute.
  • a tobacco feeding chute comprising end walls, front and rear walls connecting said end walls, a gate forming a portion of said front wall, links pivoted on said end walls and connected to said gate,and a handle pivoted on one of said ends walls and connected to said gate, whereby said gate may be moved bodily outwardly and upwardly.
  • a tobacco feeding chute comprising end walls, front and rear walls connecting said end walls, a gate forming a portion of said front wall, links pivoted on said end walls and connected to said gate, a handle. pivoted on one of said end walls and connected to said gate, a lever pivoted on said handle, a stop on the end wall adjacent said handle, and a spring urging said lever into position to be engaged by said stop to prevent movement of said handle.
  • a trough for guiding a cigarette paper strip comprising a stationary portion, a Vername to this specification.
