POCKET CIGARETTE-MACHINE.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,076, dated June 22, 1880.
Application filed April '7, 1880 (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY R. BAKER, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Baltimore, in the county of Baltimore and State of Maryland,have invented new and useful Improvements in Pocket Cigarette-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved pocket cigarette-machine; and it has for its object to provide a portable device which can be constrncted of sufficiently small compass to be conveniently carried about the person, and by means of which a cigarette can be quickly and automatically rolled, the edges secured, and the completed cigarette retained in or automatically discharged from the device, as may be desired.
To this end my invention consists, first, in the combi nation, ina pocket ci garette-machine, ofa box or chamber provided with a hinged lid, a longitudinal spring-roller having wound thereon a ribbon or band capable of being no wound against the retractile force of the spring,
' and mechanism for holding the rollerin afixed position for the insertion of the wrapper and tobacco to be rolled and for'releasin g the roller when desired, whereby the band is rapidly rewound upon the roller to roll the cigarette, all substantially as hereinafter fully described second, in the combination, with the springroller and the band having the bar at the free end of the same, of the rib on the lower side of the lid and the abutment at the end of the box, whereby the lid is elevated at the edge for the passage of the band and the bar is temporarily held to retain the cigarette until it is desired to discharge it, essentially as more particularly hereinafter described.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspectiveview of the device, showing the lid opened and parts in position, with the paper and tobacco ready to be rolled into a cigarette. Fig. 2 shows a similar view with the lid closed and the parts in position to roll the cigarette. Fig. 3 represents a transverse vertical section of the device, showing the cigarette rolled and ready to be discharged. Fig. arepresents a side elevation, showing the mechanism for holding and releasing the spring-roller and Fig. 5 represents a longitudinal sectional view of the roller detache The letter A indicates my improved device, which, in the presentinstance, consists of two boxes or chambers, B and O, of about equal dimensions, one containing the mechanism for rolling the cigarettes, the other being designed to hold the papers forming the wrappers.
The box or chamber B, which carries the mechanism for rolling the cigarettes, has an internal length about equal to the length of an ordinary cigarette, a height about equal to the diameter of such a cigarette, and awidth about double the same.
The letter D indicates a hollow roller, to which is securely attached one end of aribbon or band, E, of any suitable material. The said roller is mounted upon a fixed longitudinal shaft, F, located in the box B, and contains a strong spiral spring, G, which is secured to the shaft at one end and to the interior of the hollow roller at the other end, after the manner of an ordinary spring curtain-roller. The roller and its band, when wound, are of about the same diameter as an ordinary cigarette, and occupy the front half of the box B,'leaving anunoccupied space, 0, at one side, for the purpose hereinafter described.
The ribbon or band is wound upon the spring when it is extended to its full extent, so that the spring will be wound as the ribbon is unwound, and will rewind the ribbon upon the roller when it is released. The free end of the ribbon is provided with a transverse bar, I, by means of which it may be manipulated, and to assist in the operation of the devices, as more fully hereinafter explained.
The letter K indicates a short journal at one I of which the roller may be held or released to operate the ribbon.
The letter 0 indicates a longitudinal rib on the lowerside of a hinged lid, P, attached to the box, which serves as a temporary stop when the lid is down to hold the bar at the end of the band or ribbon just previous to the discharge of the cigarette, and also to press upon that portion of the band containing the tobacco as it is rolled up in its wrapper and pack it neatly therein.
The letter H indicates an abutment at one or both ends of the box, against which the rib on the lid rests when the lid is closed, so as to leave a sufficient opening for the passage of the ribbon and bar as the ribbon is wound upon the roller without binding.
The chamber or box 0 not only forms a receptacle for papers or matches, but serves as a means for conveniently holding the device in manipulating the cigarette-rolling mechanism. The said box is provided with a hinged lid, R, similar to the lid of the box B, the two lids being secured to a common pintle, S, at the upper edge of the boxes, where they adjoin, the said boxes, in the present instance, being formed of one piece of metal, with the edges properly bent up, the pintle-socket being formed by bending the metal, as indicated, between the two boxes.
The free edge of the ribbon may be provided with fastening devices, by which it may be attached to the lid of the box to prevent the cigarette from being ejected therefrom when completed if it is desired to retain it, and the box or chamber containing the rolling mechanism may be made slightly longer than an ordinary cigarette, and the ratchet and pawl located therein, with a small portion of the pawl projecting to operate the mechanism, whereby substantially the whole of the operating mechanism is inclosed and protected from injury.
Thebox also, instead of having but a single additional box or chamber, may be provided with others for holding matches and tobacco.
The operation of my invention is as follows: To roll a cigarette, the lid of the chamber B is raised, and the band or ribbon E drawn out to its full extent, its retraction being prevented by the pawl N, which automatically engages the ratchet, being pressed into contact therewith by means of a suitable spring.
.The band or ribbon is then laid over the lid,
which remains in an inclined position for the purpose, and the lower part of the band is pressed down into the space 0, as shown in Fig. 1. A wrapper is then laid upon the band upon the inclined lid, with its lower end resting in the depressed portion of the band, and tobacco in sufficient quantity to form the cigarette is pressed into the depressed portion of the band. The band is then brought forward over the front edge of the box, and the lid closed and held firmly down, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. When the pawl is pressed so as to trip the ratchet the retractile force of the spring will rotate the roller, rapidly rewinding the ribbon 01' band, rotating the tobacco so as to form it into a roll, and at the same time wrapping the wrapper around it. The wrappers are preferably gummed at one edge, so that when moistened and 'rolled around a cigarette the edges will adhere and prevent the wrapper from becoming unwrapped. When the bar at the end of the band or ribbon reaches the rib on the lid it will be held thereby until pressure upon the lid is released. When the pressure is released the ribbon in its final moy'ement will press the cigarette upward and forward, raising the lid and suddenly ejecting the cigarette.
What 1 claim is- 1. The combination, in a pocket cigarettemachine, of a box or chamber provided with a hinged lid and a longitudinal spring-roller having wound thereon a ribbon or band capable of being unwound against the retractile force of the spring, and mechanism for holding the roller in a fixed position for the insertion of the wrapper and tobacco to be rolled, and for releasing the roller when desired, whereby the band is rapidly rewound upon the roller to roll the cigarette, substantially as specified.
2. In combination with the spring-roller and the band having the bar at the free end of the same, the rib on the lower side of the lid and the abutment at the end of the box, whereby the lid is elevated at the edge for the passage of the band and the bar is temporarily held to retain the cigarette until it is desired to discharge it, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HARRY R. BAKER.
Witnesses JAMES L. NORRIS, JAMES A. RUTHERFORD.
