3 Claims.
The invention aims to provide a simple, inexpensive, easily operable and effective device for moistening the gummed edges of cigarette papers when rolling cigarettes with any of the conventional hand-operated cigarette-rolling machines.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings is a front elevation of the device.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevation.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view.
Fig. 4 is an end elevation with the actuating levers andassociated parts moved to extreme positions to give access to the filling plug of the water reservoir. I
Fig. 5 is a transverse section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a sectional perspective view showing a portion of th reservoir.
A preferred construction has been illustrated and will be rather specifically described, with the understanding, however, that within the scope of the invention as claimed, variations may be made. It may also be stated that whereas the expressions front and rear will be herein used, it is to be understood that such expressions are relative rather than limiting.
A horizontally elongated reservoir I is shown, said reservoir comprising a bottom 8, end walls 9, a relatively low front wall It], a relatively high rear wall I I, and a top I2 which extends rearwardly from the front wall It! and terminates in spaced relation with the back wall I I. This back wall I I rigidly carries a horizontal shelf l3 which projects rearwardly from and extends longitudinally of the upper edge of said back wall. Another wall Idrises from the rear edge of the top I 2 to a plane above the shelf I3, and the end walls 9 are provided with upward extensions I5 which are secured to the walls II and I4 and project upwardly from the ends of the shelf I3.
A fiat wick It extends upwardly from the reservoir 1 between the walls II and I4, the upper end I! of said wick being disposed horizontally upon th shelf I 3 and projecting rearwardly beyond the rear edge of said shelf. A clamping plate I8 rests upon the horizontal upper end I! of the wick and is secured in place by screws I9 which are threaded into openings in the shelf I3.
A pressure bar 29 is disposed under the rearwardly projecting end I! of the wick l6 and is spaced downwardly therefrom to a suflicient extent to permit the gummed edge of a cigarette paper to be inserted between the two as shown in dotted lines at 2I, in Fig. 5. The pressure bar 26 is preferably in the form of a flange on the upper edge of a bar 22. The ends of the bars 2n and 22 are secured tothe rear ends of two levers :23 which are disposed atthe outer sides of the end walls 9, said levers being fulcrumed between their ends to the extensions I5, as shown at 2 The front ends of the levers 23 are connected by a finger bar 25 which overlies the top I2 of the reservoir 1. Ascent of this finger bar and thus descent of the pressure bar 29, are liim'ted by a nut 26 on the upper end of a stud 21 which projects upwardly fromthereservoir top I2, said finger bar 25having a slot 28 through which said stud extends. A coil spring 29 surrounds the stud 2! and presses upwardly against the finger bar 25 to normally hold the parts in such positions that proper space exists between the pressure bar 20 and the end I! of the wick It.
The reservoir top I 2 is provided with a suitable fillin plug 30. To readily gain access to this plug, the nut 26 may be removed, whereupon the levers 23 may swing to the position shown in Fig. 4, disposing the finger bar 25 in widely spaced relation with said filling plug.
When the reservoir contains a quantity of water, the wick I6 and its end I I will remain damp. Thus, when the gummed edge of the cigarette paper 2| is interposed between the wick end I! and the pressure bar 20, it is only necessary to depress the finger bar 25 to press the gum against the wick end I! to moisten said gum. Depression of bar 25 will of course tilt the levers 23 to raise the pressure bar 20, and as soon as said bar 25 is released, the spring 29 returns the parts to their normal positions.
While excellent results have been obtained from the details disclosed and they may be considered as preferred, attention is again invited to the possibility of making variations within the scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim:
1. In a moistening dew'ce, a substantially rectangular reservoir to be supported on a table and formed along its entire longitudinal rear wall with an elongated substantially rectangular wick holder projecting above the flat top of the reser-' voir, a fixed elongated shelf projecting rearward ly from the upper edge of said holder and positioned horizontally below the upper edges of the side and front walls of said holder, a fiat rectangular wick extending from said reservoir through said holder and having its upper. portion resting on said shelf with its upper end projecting beyond the outer rear edge of saidshelf, a rectangular clamping plate positioned between the side and front walls of said holder over the W 6}; portion on said shelf, the rear portion of said plate overlying the said projecting end of said wick, fastening means for securing said plate to clamp the wick on said shelf, a flat rectangular pressure bar underlying said rearwardly projecting end of the wick and spaced downwardly therefrom to permit insertion of a gummed paper between the two, two parallel levers fixedly secured at one endto, the, ends ..of, saidpressure bar and positioned along the outer sides of said wick holder, a finger bar fixed to the other ends of said levers and overlying the front portion of the top of said reservoir, and means for fulcruming said levers between their ends.
2. In a moistening device, a substantiallyxectangular reservoir to be supportedeon ,a table and formed along its entire longitudinal rear wall with an elongated substantial-15 irectangular wick holder projecting above the flat top of, the reservoir, a fixed elongatedshelf projectingrearwardly from the upper edge'of said holder, a fiat rectangular wick extending from said reservoir "throughsud holder-and having its upper portion resting on said shelf with its upper end projecting beyond the outer rear edge of said shelf, means clamping the wick on said shelf,-an open rectangular swinging frame surrounding said wick holderand in'cludinga pair of levers positioned finger bar, a coil spring on said stud beneath said finger bar and a nut threaded on said stud above said finger bar, whereby said spring will hold said pressure bar a predetermined distance from said wick until the finger bar is depressed.
3. In a moistening device, a reservoir comprising a bottom, end walls, a relatively low front wall a relatively high back wall, and a top extending rearwardly from said front Wall and terminating in spaced relation with said back wall,
an elongated shelf secured to and projecting rearwardly from the upper edge of said back wall,
- saidshelfextending longitudinally of said upper edge of said back wall, an additional wall rising -fromithe, rear edge of said top and extending to a plane above said shelf, said end walls having -u'pwar d extensions which are secured to said backmwall and said additional wall and project upwardly from the ends of said shelf, a wick extending from said reservoir between said back -wall=andsaid additional wall, the upper end of said wickbeing secured upon said shelf and projecting rear-wardly beyond the same, a pressure bar underlying said rearwardly projecting end of said wick and spaced downwardly therefrom to permit insertion of a gummedpaper between the two, two levers at the outer sides of said end walls and fulcrumed between their ends on said end wall extensions, therearerids of said" levers being connected to the ends of said pressure bar 'forraising thelatter;-and afinger'bar connected to the front ends of said leversfor operating said levers.
