JAMES OCHS, OF READING, PENNSYLVANIA.,
ClGAR-END CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 243,956, dated July 5, 1881.
Application filed May 7, 1881.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES OcHs, of the city of Beading, county of Berks, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Device for Trimming Cigar Ends, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, in which- Figure l represents a side elevation of my improvement in cigar-trimmers 3 Ilig. 2, a plan or top view of the same Fig. 3, an end view explanatory of the force transferred from the handle to the knife.
Similar letters refer to similar parts.
This invention relates more particularly to y the class of counter-machines used by the dealers generally for cutting or trimming to length the butts or thick ends of the cigars, whereby a neater appearance is presented and the length rendered more uniform.
The improvement consists of the usual grooved bed or base, A, of wood, to the end of which is secured the cast-iron frame B, provided with a recurved seat, B', a guide concentric with the fulcrum D2, and struck with a radius therefrom, B2, fulcrum-arm and hub B3 wearing-face C, and stud b for spring g.
D is the knife-lever, having its handleE projected at right angles and about one inch away from the face C, and provided with a guidehook, D', and a triangular knife, F, dovetailed into the same, pivoted by the bolt D2 to the fulcrum-arm B3, and is further provided with a stud, (l, on the under side of the guide-hook D. A spiral spring, g, is placed over the stud b on the frame B, and under the guide-hook Dl upon the stud cl. This keeps the arm or lever D raised ready for operation.
The base-block A may be marked as shown, or a movable gage may be attached, if deemed necessary. Usually they are not thought of sufcient importance to be applied.
The guide B2 has aprojecting stop or hook, B4, which prevents the rising of the lever beyond a defined point. The studs b and el are arranged to contact after the knife has trimmed the end of the cigar, and thus arrest the downward movement of the lever D.
(No model.)
The operation of the machine is as follows: A cigar is placed in the groove A', with its end resting in and projecting the required distance beyond the face of the recnrved seat B; a quick movement is given to the lever D by pressure on the handle E, which, beingA outside of the center line of the lever, tends to throw the cuttingedge of the knife F in close contact with the face C. This insures a clean cut, no amount of wear upon the points detracting from this tendency to a close f1t between the shearing-surfaces, for, as shown in Fig. 3, the knife edge will always contact closely with the face C, the guide B2, through the hook D of the lever, keeping the top edge ot' the same close to the frame and acting as the fulcrum for transferring the force from the handle E to the lower edge of the knife F.
I am aware that cigar-end trimmers have been attached to a table grooved to receive the cigars; that it is customary to have one edge of the groove graduated; that the frame ofthe cutter was generally provided with a curved bed corresponding with said groove, with which the knife contacted in making the cut; that springs were used for the purpose of raising the lever after each cut, and that trian gular blades have been used for the purpose of securing a shearing cut, previous to my irnprovement. Therefore I do not broadly lay claim thereto. Nevertheless, I believe I am the first to embody a cigar-end trimmer in the form l shown and to operate it in the way described.
- Having described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The device vherein described, consisting of the table A, frame B, provided with arecurved seat, B', concentric guide B2, arm B3, stop B4,
and stud el, a lever, D, having a guidehook, D', and stud b, with a spiral spring, g, common to both frame B and lever D, all combined substantially as specified, and arranged to operate in the manner shown and for the pur pose set forth.
JAMES OCHS.
