Definitions

  • This invention relates to tobacco feeds for con tinuous rod cigarette machines, its main object being to improve the operation of the compressing device shown in my prior Patent No. 1,892,257, granted December 27, 1932.
  • the tobacco is fed into the compressing chute by both belts forming that chute, so that jamming or choking of tobacco is liable to occur at the mouth of the same at high speeds.
  • the entire shower of tobacco from the feed chute is intercepted by the forwarding belt, the compressor belt merely serving to compress the tobacco thereon; and a vertical partition is arranged in the feed chute so as to keep the showered tobacco off the compressor belt, and thus to feed tobacco into the compressor chute by the forwarding belt only.
  • the side guides of the delivery end of the compressing chute are made readily adjustable so that the width of the charge entering under the rodformer tongue can be varied during operation to suit the speed of the machine and the width of the wrapper strip.
  • a cigarette machine feed chute adapted to conne the tobacco falling therethrough in a shower, means for continuously forwarding a cigarette paper strip, a traveling endless forwarding belt having an inclined upper run extending underneath and beyond said chute to angularly intercept the shower of tobacco and deliver a stream of tobacco to the paper strip at an angle thereto, and an endless compressor belt beyond said chute having a lower run coacting with the upper run of said forwarding belt to compress the tobacco thereon and operating to further compress the tobacco on the paper strip.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved tobacco feed compressor with the front wall partly broken away;
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the same on 5 line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional end elevation on line 3 3. of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a detail view of the mounting of the side guides of the compressor chute. 10
  • the construction of the forwarding and compressor belts of the improved device is substantially the same as that disclosed in my prior patent referred to above, but the compressor belt is arranged beyond the feed chute I9 so that it 15 will merely compress the streams of tobacco advanced thereunder on the portion of the inclined upper run of the forwarding belt 21 projecting beyond the feed chute I9 and further compress the tobacco stream on the cigarette paper strip P advanced by the rod forming tape 21 which 20 travels through the rod-former, not shown, in which the edges of the paper strip are pasted and overlapped to form the cigarette rod.
  • the frame 5 is supported on the bed (not shown) of the cigarette machine and carries a pulley 5 mounted on shaft l which drives the compressor belt III over the guide rollers II, I2, and I3 and the belt tightener Il supported on frame 5.
  • 'I'he frame 5 also carries a pulley (not shown) driving the forwarding belt I5 over the roller I1.
  • the lower run of the belt I5 is supported between the rollers II and I2 by the channel 32, and between the rollers I2 and I3 by the channel 35, both channels being attached to frame 5.
  • a plate 3l also secured to the frame 5 supports the upper run of the belt I5.
  • the rod-forming tape 21 running over roller 2l is driven by a tape wheel (not shown), and forwards the cigarette paper strip P under the lower run of the belt I0 to receive the stream of tobacco T from the lower end of the compressor chute and forward it under the rod-former tongue 28a and through the rod-former (not shown).
  • 'I'he belts I0 and I5 and the tape 21 are driven at a predetermined speed so that the compressed tobacco stream T and the paper strip P have the same speed when coming together and when entering the tongue 25a of the rodformer.
  • 'I'he tobacco stream T is confined between the opposed runs of the belts Il and I5 and between the paper strip P on the tape 2 ⁇ I and the belt Il by side guides 22 and 22, Fig. 3, fixed at their upper ends near roller II, as shown in Fig. 4, so as to be sprung inwardly by the adjusting screws Il and 39 arranged to bear against them to regulate the cross-sectional area of the tobacco stream T while the same is being forwarded.
  • the rear screw 38 turns in frame 5 and is held in its adjusted position by a set screw Il.
  • the forward screw I! turns in a bushing inserted into aside plate 42 secured to the channel 33 by means of a bolt 43 and is held in position by a check nut 44.
  • the side pressure of the stream of tobacco T in the compressing chute holds the side guides against the adjusting screws.
