Definitions

  • one object of the invention consists in the reduction of the equipment for the sup-ply of the cigarettes.
  • Another object of the invention consists in utilizing the provision for such reduction of equipment to enable the packing machine to run at an increased speed.
  • a further object of the invention consists in utilizing the provision for such reduction to reduce the size of certain portions of the machine.
  • Still another object of the invention consists in utilizing said reduction to facilitate the labour of the attendant of a machine or a plurality of machines running simultaneously.
  • Still another object of the invention consists in utilizing the provision for such reduction to enable the cigarettes to discharge from the container evenly over the entire outlet area and even though slidable shutters are used.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical side view, partly in section, of the portion of a cigarette packing machine embodying the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a front view, partly in section taken on the line II-II of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 illustrates diagrammatically the travel of the cigarette containers in the machine
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged front view of a container for the cigarettes, partly in section, taken on the line IV-1V of Fig. 5;
  • Fig. 5 is a side view, partly in section, taken on the line V-V of Fig. 4.
  • the machine has a conveyor comprising two endless chains I run ning over idle sprocket wheels 2 and driving sprocket wheels 3, one of which is in part broken away in Fig. 1.
  • the sprocket wheels 3 are secured to a shaft 4.
  • the chains 1 are equipped with ratchet teeth 6 which serve as impellers for advancing the containers.
  • Each container is composed of an open box 9 having an integral top plate H and a channel-shaped wall plate 8 serving as a cover for said box.
  • the wall plate 8 is secured to a base 5 having a pair of slide bars 3
  • a plate It! is slidably mounted in grooves 33 in the slide bars 3
  • the wall plate 8 is inserted into a holder 24 whereby it is directed obliquely downwardly. Thereby its base 5 rests on side plates 28 on the holder 24 which has a rear bar for supporting the box 9 and is turnably mounted on a pin 25. In this position the inverted channel-shaped wall plate 8 receives a box 9 filled with cigarettes.
  • the box 9 is, with its top plate ll turned downwards, pushed into the wall plate 8 between same and the bar 84 of the holder 24, serving as a guide, inside a pair of blade springs 21 secured to the wall plate 8 whereby a spring tensioned latch I2 on the holder 24 snaps over the top plate ll of the box.
  • the bar 84 of the holder 24 together with the assembled container 8, 9 are by means of handles 32 swung upward into the position shown in full lines to the right in Fig. 1 and delivered to the conveyor I.
  • the conveyor l moves stepwise in the direction of the arrow P1 so that the containers 8, 9 are successively moved into the position at B above a hopper l3.
  • the container has reached this position its bottom plate 10 is expelled from the container so that the cigarettes drop into the hopper l3, whereafter they are distributed and packed in well known manner.
  • the bottom plate I 0 is expelled by a pair of pistons each consisting of a yielding ratchet tooth l5 adapted to be yieldingly depressed by the bottom plate 10 when the containers move over them.
  • the teeth I5 are each mounted on a slidable rod l6, which rods are each pivotally connected to an arm l'l. Both the arms I! are secured to a rotatable shaft 2
  • a tension spring 14 urges the roller 18 against a cam disc 20 secured to a rotary shaft l9.
  • To the shaft I 9 is secured a gear wheel 29, partly broken away in Fig. 1, which meshes with a. gear wheel 30, partly broken away in Fig. 1, secured to the shaft 4.
  • the cam disc 20 allows the spring I4 to advance the rods [6 quickly so that the bottom plate I0 is pushed forwardly into the grooves 33 in the slide bars 3
  • the plate l0 moves past a pair of yielding latch members 26 on swinging them upwardly.
  • the members 26 prevent the plate I0 from recoiling when having been introduced into the container at C. Since the bottom plate [0 is ejected quickly from the wall plate 8 of the filled container and since it moves transversely to said wall plate, i. e. longitudinally of the cigarettes, the cigarettes will drop simultaneously into the hopper, viz. evenly over the entire outlet area of the container.
  • the empty boxes 9 removed at A are transferred to a cigarette machine or another station where they are filled anew and stored for some time. Thereafter they are again supplied to the packing machine in the manner as described.
  • the relatively heavy wall plates 8 comprising the bases 5 and the bottom plates I0 loosely inserted therein will not be removed from the machine, wherefore the manual labour will be facilitated and the plates II will not unintentionally drop out of the containers.
  • the light boxes 9 only consisting of sheet metal or another material that may be still lighter, e. g. artificial resin, are removed from the machine. Only a relatively small number of wall plates including bases 5 and bottom plates l0 needs to be used. While a large number of 4 boxes 9 has to be stored the costs for such an equipment will be by far less than the costs for a corresponding number of complete containers.
  • a cigarette receiver a holder adapted to receive a container wall plate having a slidable bottom plate and a box filled with cigarettes to be assembled to form a cigarette container
  • means for delivering the assembled container to said cigarette receiver an expeller operative at said cigarette receiver to eject said bottom plate from a filled container to discharge the cigarettes into said receiver, and means for actuating said expeller to transfer said ejected bottom plate from said container to the wall plate of an adjacent emptied container.
  • a cigarette receiver a holder adapted to receive a container wall plate having a slidable bottom plate and adapted to receive an open box filled with cigarettes to form an assembled cigarette container, means for delivering the assembled container to said cigarette receiver, an expeller operative at said cigarette receiver to eject said bottom plate from a filled container to discharge the cigarettes into said receiver, means for actuating said expeller to transfer said ejected bottom plate from said container to the wall plate of an adjacent emptied container and means for returning the empty containers to the holder.
  • a cigarette receiver a holder adapted to receive a container wall plate having a slidable bottom plate and adapted to receive an open box filled with cigarettes to form an assembled cigarette container, means for delivering the assembled container to said cigarette receiver, an expeller operative at said cigarette receiver to eject said bottom plate from a filled container to discharge the cigarettes into said receiver, a cam, and a spring adapted to urge said expeller against said cam, said cam being adapted to periodically allow said spring to advance said expeller to transfer said ejected bottom plate from said container to the wall plate of an adjacent emptied container and to retract said expeller against the action of said spring.
