Definitions

  • This invention relates to a machine and a method for producing rods for tobacco smoke filters, especially for cigarettes and the like as well as for other uses.
  • a still further object of the invention resides in the provision of a wool band or rod to be installed as a continuous element to be provided in an automatic coincontrolled machine of any known design to dispense filter cartridges into a paper shell or the like.
  • the machine may be designed to dispense only long lter rods or it may be so arranged to dispense filter cartridges or rods of short length cut as desired.
  • the paper material has a suiiicient porosity so that the finished Wool filter may be compressed into the desired density. Any desired material may be chosen to manufacture the filter wool.
  • the relative rotation of the forwarding or conveying rollers and the cutting rollers is adjustable and may be adjusted relative to the desired corrugations to be worked into the band.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevation of the machine for producing the filter rod
  • Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the machine.
  • the paper supply rolls 1, 3 and 5 are suitably mounted on a machine frame, not shown, which is preferably tissue paper and rotatable on shafts 2, 4 and 6 respectively. T he webs withdrawn from the rolls 1 and 3 unite into a single combined strip or web 7 which is drawn over a table or plate 8, whereas the web or strip 9 from the roll is pulled over another table or plate 10.
  • the web 7 travels between the cutting or creasing rollers 11 and 12 which alternately project into each other by means of cutting blades. Between the cutting blades or discs of the roller 11 strip removing means or strippers 13 are provided and between the blades of the roller 12 there is a similar removing means or strippers 14.
  • the removing means prevent the cut strips from being carried along between the rotating cutting rollers.
  • the web 9 is pulled over the table 10 between two rollers 15 and 16 corresponding to rollers 11 and 12, between which cutting discs the stripping means 17 and 18 project.
  • a ⁇ pair of conveying rollers 19 and 20 are provided spaced from the cutting rollers 11 and 12 and from the stripping means 13 and 14 in the direction of feed of the strip 7.
  • the relationship of the rate of rotation of the rollers 19 and 20 relative to the rotation of the cutting rollers 11 and 12 may be regulated and may for example be so set that the cut strips from the rollers 19 and 20 may be held back.
  • a specific crimping will be attained by the feed of the cut strips on the stripping off device, in dependence on what is attained by the rollers 19 and 20. It is preferable that the rotational speed of the rollers 19 and 20 is regulatable.
  • the fiber or wool-like band 23 issuing from between the rollers 21 and 22 is conveyed further over a conveyor belt 24 and joins the ber or wool-like band 25 issuing from between the rollers 19 and 20, to form a common wool band 26.
  • the band 26 is fed into a trough or basin 27 and runs along upper part of a conveyor band 2S which is driven by a drive pulley 29.
  • Over the band 28 forming rollers 30 and 31 are provided] which project into the trough and together with the conveyor band form a rod or strip 32 from the band 26. This takes place inthe example shown due to the conveyor band 33 supporting and conveying the strip 32 to a trough 34 in which it is conveyed with the aid of the forming rollers 35 and 36 and thereafter is wound with paper.
  • the thus formed filter rod is cut into short lengths to thus form the filter cartridges.
  • the various movable parts of the machine are driven from a common driving wheel or pulley 37 from any suitable motor and the like, not shown, so that the various parts will move in the proper relationship.
  • the forming of the filter wool into rods can be carried out with various modied parts as for example by guide troughs having converging sides.
  • the materials of which the filter wool is produced may be treated with various chemical substances as desired which effect the tobacco smoke in various ways.
  • the filter wool may be sprayed with various chemicals depending upon the results desired.
  • the ⁇ completed filter rod or the filter cartridges themselves may be saturated with various desired chemicals.
  • the filter rods and cartridges are not necessarily limited in use to be associated with tobacco products such as cigarettes but may be used as filters for various other purposes.
  • the filter wool may be made in any desired color and may be treated to emit any desired smell or taste.
  • a machine for producing tobacco smoke filters and the like comprising means for feeding a strip material from a roll, cooperating cutting rollers to cut the strip material into narrow Widths, each cutting roller having a plurality of adjacent cutting discs, a stripping device for each tWo adjacent cutting discs, a conveying means in the form of an endless band which in the upper run of the band vassumes 1- thevform -of a vtrough -toimpart ⁇ a preliminary compression to the strips of material, and means mounted above the band and projecting into the trough-to lfurther lcompress the 'strips'of material and nallylform them into a rod.
