Definitions

  • IClaim. -(Cl. 131-107 Thisinvention relates tovthe packing ofcigars, cigarillos or similar articles of tobacco.
  • a method hitherto used .for packing cigars the cigars are placed manually in'open, rectangular pockets of wooden molds,qupon which are placed covers that are drawn tight'to subjectthe cigars to pressure action and impart to each portion of cigars in a 'pockctthe desired shape and size.
  • the present-invention relates to a method for the purpose referred to, in which the advantages of both the known methods are utilized, whereas their drawbacks are not present.
  • the filled may be heated ItOfdlY and set the porcigars or the like in said casings.
  • the cigargroups canbe taken or conveyed from a portioning and-com- '(dried,
  • pressing device as rigid "packings' (i. e.- coveredby rigid casings), stored,jdried and thereafter supplied to the packing machine'as articles insensibleito shocks and other external action.
  • the deviceforthefilling, transport and emptying iof-lthe casings is'ivery common-inexpensive andeasy to manage.
  • Theempty or ,filledcasings can be fed'through funnels,,chutes-or any means for feeding pieces.
  • the cigar groups enclosed in the-moldrcasings can beforetheir packing'be easily stored and conveyed tothe packing machine'practically irrespective of the ,eX- tent of thespace available in the factory.
  • the cigars can be driedrapidly and neverthelessgentlm-sothat theentire process is accelerated.
  • the cigar groups may each consist of any sliiiable number of cigars," cigarlllos, or. the like, or of a. single'tobacco article, which-obtains :itsfinal shape before :it packed, for instance enclosed in an envelope.
  • the method accordingto theinvention can be performed-in a particularly simple and efficient manner it the tobacco articles are introduced into tubularmold channels of still casings.
  • Figfil is a ,plan view or in which mold casings are a grouping machine, filledzw ith groups of cigars.
  • Figs. 21205 are vertical sectional ,viewstaken
  • the casings can have anycdesiredinterior-shape, i. e. the-cigars orthe I attractive tint," even though the groupingis efiected much more the casings are marked so that positionsin the packing machine appearances as to their upper surface is as smooth as possible.
  • Fig. 6 is a side view in of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. '7 is a plan view of a packing machine, in which the cigar groups are expelled from the mold casings and packed.
  • Fig. 8 is a side view of the packing machine in the direction of the line VIII-NIH of Fig. '7.
  • Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view on the line IX-IX of Fig. 7, and
  • Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a mold casing for a cigar portion.
  • Finished cigars or cigarillos A are fed transversely as a row on an endless conveyor belt I (Figs. 1, 2 and 6) which moves stepwise five cigars into position in front of a pusher 2 which is connected to a lever 3 that is driven by'a cam disc 5 secured to the main drive shaft 4 of the machine.
  • the cigars are inspected and if needed turned and transposed, so that juxtaposed cigars adapted to form the upper layer of a portion have similar tints and so that their the direction VI-VI 30 for driving the belt I is secured to a rotary shaft 3
  • a lever 33 is turnably mounted on the shaft 3
  • the lever 33 is pivoted to a link 35 which, in turn, is pivoted to a lever arm 36 actuated by a cam disc 31 secured to a rotary shaft 9.
  • a pocket 6 down and adapted to receive a group of cigars.
  • the pocket 6 is mounted on a rod I which is moved up and down by a cam disc 8.
  • the cam disc 8 is secured to the shaft 9, which by means of a gear I is connected to the drive shaft 4.
  • the pocket 6 is in a position somewhat higher than that shown in Fig. 5, and then the pusher 2 transfers five cigars from the conveyor belt I to the bottom portion of the pocket. Thereafter the pocket 6 is moved downwards into the position shown in Fig.
  • a casing II is moved into position in front of the compressing channel formed by the walls l6 and plates I5 and IT.
  • the casings ll are stored as a pile in a chute 23 at the bottom end of which is operative a pusher 24 which is advanced periodically to form a bottom of the chute 23, as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the pusher 24 is reciprocated by a lever arm 25 which is actuated by a cam disc 21 secured to'the shaft 9.
  • the pusher 24 is advanced and displaces said casing as well as the row of empty and filled casings II resting upon a table 28, whereby an empty casing is brought into its cigar receiving 'position opposite to the compressing channel formed by the walls I6 andplates I5 and I1.
  • the casings II with their contents are placed or thrown, for instance into a receptacle of the packing machine, which in the present embodiment consists of a chute 4B which is open at its bottom end and in which the easings II are piled up.
  • a receptacle of the packing machine which in the present embodiment consists of a chute 4B which is open at its bottom end and in which the easings II are piled up.
  • Below the chute 40 is movable a pusher 4
  • is pivotally connected to a lever arm 42 which is reciprocated by a cam disc 44 secured to a driving shaft 43.
  • the pile of casings in the chute 48 descends, so that the lowermost filled casing II occupies a position upon a table 45 in front oi the pusher 4
  • advances, it displaces the row of casings II on the table 45, whereby the foremost filled casing of the row is brought into its delivery position opposite to an expeller 46.
  • the expeller 46 is pivotally connected to a lever arm 47, which is reciprocated by a cam disc 48 secured to the shaft 43.
  • An open box B is held in position in front of the expeller 46 at one side of the table 45, or it may be moved into such position by a conveyor.
  • the group of cigars is transferred by the expeller 46 from the-casing II into the box B, in which said group is packed. Thereafter, the casing II is moved further upon the table 45 and removed from the machine in any suitable manner and transferred to the device for filling the casing with another group of cigars or the like.
  • the method of treating groups of cigars or the like, preparatory to their packaging, comprising advancing the cigars in a row side by side, inspecting the cigars, turning and transposing the cigars until juxtaposed cigars of said row have substantially the same shade at their upper visible surfaces, separating consecutive groups of cigars from said row and subjecting the groups to a compression of short duration in a compressible rectangular mold for flattening their upper surfaces, moving open-ended inflexible mold cells intoposition facing said rectangular mold, pushing said groups as unitsout of said compressible mold directly into the mold cells while maintaining the relative positions of the cigars, storing the cells together with the cigar v groups until the group has set and assumed substantially the same cross sectional shape as the cells, and then expelling the groups of cigars from said cells to be packaged.
