145 INVENTOR N ATTORNEY Patented July 30, 1940 UNITED STATES LEAF C'UTTER FOR CIGAR MACHINES Pontus Peterson, Hempstead, N. Y., assignor to International Cigar Machinery Company, a corporation of New York Application November 21, 1936, Serial No. 111,973
13 Claims. (01. 131-101) This invention relates to cutting mechanisms for cigar machines, and also to safety devices associated therewith.
In existing machines it is usually customary for an operator to spread a leaf from which binders or wrappers are to be out upon a cutting bed having a die of proper size and shape which the leaf overlies. A cutting mechanism having one or more rotatable rollers is then passed over the leaf on the die and the required section is cut from the leaf. It has been found when these machines are operated at high speed that there is difficulty in preventing the leaf section from being torn or otherwise damaged during the cutting operation, due chiefly to the fact that the cutting rollers as they move into contact with a leaf are stationary and are not set into rotation until they have progressed some distance along the leaf. Consequently, the stationary rollers upon moving against the leading end of a leaf tend to curl it up or push back the edge.
It is accordingly an object of this invention to provide means for more efiicient cutting by causing the rollers to be set into rotation before they move into cutting relationship with a leaf.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a cutting mechanism with means for imparting rotation to the rollers as they approach the cutting bed.
It is an added object to provide means for rotating the roller cutting mechanism, and also means adjacent the cutting die which may or may not be a part thereof which will effectively prevent the cutting rollers from jumping as they contact the leading end of the leaf cutting die.
It is an additional object to provide an extension at one end of the leaf cutting die of such a nature that it may cause rotation, or impart additional rotation and act as a guide for the roller cutting mechanism of a cigar machine.
Since there is atime interval between the operation of the rollers for cutting, and their return, there is danger of injury to an operators hands if, for any reason, they are in the path of the rollers. Therefore, it is a further objectof thisinvention to provide means for protecting and safeguarding an operators hands during the entire operation of the cutting mechanism.
It is a further object to provide a safety member movable with the cutting mechanism into and out of position for shielding the cutting die on movement of cutting mechanism.
To the accomplishment of these and other objects not specifically mentioned in view one embodiment of the invention resides in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and defined inthe appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. l is a plan viewof a cooperating driving device for the cutting rollers constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same structure with a tilted position indicated in dotted lines;
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the same;

Fig. 6 is a front view of the parts shown in Fig. 7 is a sectional view of 'a hollow roller showing an eccentric'mounting at one side and Self-aligning bearings; I
Fig. 8 is a plan view of a safety belt attachment for the roller cutter to cover the die during its travel to and from cutting;
Fig. 9 is a side view of parts shown in Fig. 8; Fig. 10 is a plan view of a similar construction with the safety belt arranged vertically; and
Fig. 11 is a fragmentary view of the cutting bed showing the arrangement of the elongated extension of the die for starting rotation of both cutting rollers as they are guided thereon.
In carrying the invention intoeifect there is provided a cutting bed, a cutting arm arranged to move over the cutting bed with rollers'to out a wrapper from a wrapper leaf held in place by suction, a cooperating roller driving device upon which the rollers normally rest and in traveling tocutting position are given their initial rotation prior to contact with an elongated, inclined tail leading to a cutting die, one or more hollow rollers with self-aligning bearings mounted in the cutting arm onstraight and eccentric shafts and a safety belt attached to the pivoted cutting arm and held taut over a pulley bya weight to cover the die in a cutting operation.
In a cigar machine a wrapper leaf is spreadby an operator on a cutting bed where the leaf is held by suction. A cutting bed It) includes a cutting die ll (Fig. 1) over which a movable cutting arm (indicated in dot and dash lines) carryinga pair of rollers I3 is caused to move travel of the cutting arm 12 makes it desirable for the rollers I3 to be brought into rotation before they reach the leaf cutting die II to prevent tearing or damaging the leaf. A cooperating roller driving device indicated generally at l 4, includes a felt pad l5, provided with securing means such as grooves l 5 at the sides, for clamps ll and I8 which are screwed to blocks 19. The blocks l9 are loose on a shaft 20 and are located between collars 2| and supporting members 22 and 23 clamped thereon. A space is provided between the supporting members 22 and 23 and the felt pad to permit the latter to adjust itself under the difference of pressure due to eccentric mounting of the rollers l3. A rod 24 adjustably held by the clamp 23 is pivoted at 25 to a base 26 secured by a bolt 2'! to a frame member 28;
At one end of the pad l5 the clamp [1 is bent up to give additional support and prevent movement of the pad in the grooves it when the other end is struck by the rollers E3 on their return from cutting. The end of the pad I5 projects suificiently to act as a cushion for this impact of the rollers. The roller driving device I4 is capable of being tilted and is provided with a retracting spring 29, anchored to a pin 30 on the supporting member 23 and to a pin 3! on the base 25. When in the operation of the machine the cutting arm I2 is caused to move in the direction of the die H for cutting, the rollers l3 normally in contact with the felt pad 15, are rotated and after traveling beyond the surface of the pad they are still in rotation as they reach the die I l to effectively cut the wrapper. If the operators hand should be in the path of the returning cutting arm I2 it would be pushed to the felt pad H) which would yield under the pressure and tilt so that the hand could be withdrawn and escape injury.
Straight hollow rollers l3 are provided with self-aligning bearings 32 and 33 fitted thereto, together with retaining washers 34, mounted for rotation on shafts 35 and 36, respectively, the threaded ends of which are supported in the frame of the cutting arm l2 and held by nuts 31.
The shaft 36, eccentric at its bearing 33, gives the straight roller i3 an action similar to that produced by a tapered roller with the ease of operation provided by self-aligning bearings. In the embodiment shown, two rollers being mounted in the cutting arm l2, the eccentric shaft arrangement is reversed for the other roller and the slight angle of tilt of each roller will be in the opposite direction (Fig. 8) to maintain the proper cutting relation with the die ll. It will be apparent that these rollers l3 will be easily started rotating in passing over the felt pad l5 An elongated guide extension member 38, fittedto the die II at 39 is supported in the cutting bed I3 and projects through to a proper level for guiding the rollers l3 along its inclined surface to the die. The rollers will be brought (Fig. 4) smoothly, under tension, to cut from the beginning of their travel across the die ll, avoiding any possibility of striking the die and jumping beyond the starting point when the cutter arm I2 is operated at high speed. Moreover the elongated guide extension 38 may be used as shown in Fig. 11 to start the rotation of both cutting rollers in succession. Thus the felt pad l5 and its support may be dispensed with, as the length of the extension 38 is suificient to start the rollers spinning before they reach the cutting edge of the die.
An alternate arrangement of the elongated guide extension member 38 is shown in Figs. 5 and6 to provide additional friction. Twopieces of felt 40 are secured to the sides of the tail 38 by a bolt 4!, through a plate 42 and a bracket 43, bolted to the cutting bed If] at 44.
In order to protect the operator from risking injury to the hands from the cutting arm l2, operated at high speed, a safety belt 45 (Figs. 8 and 9) has been provided with a suitable fixture 4B,"secured thereto, for attachment to a hook 41, mounted on the cutting arm. The belt 45 is drawn over a pulley 48, pivotally mounted at 49 on a bracket 50, bolted to the machine frame 5| at 52 and 53, and is held taut by a weight 54 secured to its end. An opening 55, in the frame 5| is provided for the weight 54. When the cutting arm l2 passes over the cutting die I I it pulls the belt 45 over the die covering it from direct view until it is returned. The bracket 53 is shaped to permit the overlapping of the belt 45 in the normal position of the cutting arm 12 (indicated by dot and dash lines in Fig. 8). The belt 45 might be employed in a vertical position illustrated in Fig. 10 instead of the horizontal one shown, with some changes inthe pulley arrangement. The barrier presented by the safety belt is thought to effectively discourage the operator from risking injury to the hands at the time the rollers are in operation for cutting.
It is thought from the foregoing, that the ar rangement and operation of the illustrated construction will be clearly understood but I reserve the right to effect such structural modifications and variations as may come fairly within the scope of the protection prayed.
