; Application June 9,1955, SefitilNUaSlhSUQ .10 Claims. cram-40 This invention relates totheifolding ofsheet materialand relatesmore. particularly to a methodand meansfor the continuous folding of sheet material, It is an object of this invention'to provide a. novel process for the continuous folding of sheet material.
Another object of this inve'n'tionis the. provision .of a new and efficient apparatus for the continuous folding of ai'strip of fibrous batting into a cylindricalform suitable for use as a cigarette filter tip.
Other objects of this inventionwill be apparent from V of said-strip material toeffect -lengthwise folding of said] material. Advantageously the guide 'mernbers are in the form 'of wires converging from the oute'r e'dges of the strip toward the center thereof, with thewires adjacent the outer edges of the strip intermeshingito a lesser degree than the wires adjacent to the center of said'stIiP -the degree of convergence 'and'of intermeshing of the wires being such that the strip material is folded into substantially cylindrical form as it moves along the wires.
The wires may be mounted between two vertical plates, one plate being slotted to receive the strip material before it engages the wires and the second plate having a circular opening with converging walls for receiving the cylindrically folded material and for compressing said folded material uniformly.
The apparatus of this invention is particularly suitable for the production of cigarette filter tips from a batting of randomly arranged fibers. A preferred type of batting is one made of staple fibers of cellulose acetate in which the fibers are coalesced or bound one to the other at many of their points of contact, the bonding being at a maximum at the outer surfaces of the batting and decreasing gradually toward the interior thereof. For example, there may be employed the batting described in the copending application of Pratt et al., Serial No. 454,116, filed September 3, 1954.
In the drawing, which shows one preferred form of apparatus for carrying out this invention,
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the apparatus,
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus,
Fig. 3 is a view along the line 33 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 is a view along the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 5 is a view in cross-section showing the circular folded material as it enters the circular opening in the second plate and after it has been disengaged from the guide wires.
Like reference characters designate like parts throughout the several views of the drawing. 7
Referring now to the drawing, reference numeral 11 United States iPatent "ice designates a vertical plate having a substantially straight,
' horizontal slot 12 (Fig. 3) for the passage of a continuous strip or sheet of batting material 13, which. is supplied from a rotatably mounted roll 14. Reference numeral 16 designates a second vertical plate which is provided a with a funnel-shaped circular guide hole 17 aligned with the center of the slot 12. Means (not shown) are provided for drawing the batting successivelyv andcontinuously through the slot 12 and the guide. hole 17. This means for drawing the batting is preferably situated at a point in the. path of the travel of the batting beyond'the. guide hole and may comprise a device which wraps the folded battingemerging from said guide hole .and thereby forms a cigarette filter tip therefrom.
Positioned between the two plates 11 and 16 area plurality of wires 18a, 18b, arranged in two intermeshing sets, each wire having itsends supported on said plates.
Thewires 18a of the upper set extend downwardly along the plate 1I.to the upper. edge of the slot 12, then, after as'ubstantially right angle bend 19a, extend with a gradual .downward. slope. and in converging relation .(see Fig. 2)
towards the guide hole 17, then make another rightangle bend 21a adjacentto the guide .hole and extend straight up before making another bend to 'the plate 16. The
In operation, the batting 13 is drawn from the roll 14, over a guide roll 22 which aligns the batting with the slot, and then through the slot 12. The width and thickness of the batting 13 is sligthly less than the width and height of the slot 12, so that the batting passes easily therethrough. The batting then passes along the wires 18a, 18b which deflect it alternately up and down across its Width to form continuous longitudinal folds in the batting. In the embodiment shown in the drawing and described above these folds are not of equal depth but are rather of such dimensions that the batting takes a generally circular cylindrical form. The folded batting then passes through the guide hole 17, where it is compressed by engagement with the converging walls thereof. After emerging from the guide hole 17 the folded batting may be introduced into the wrapping section of a cigarettesaid strip material, said guide members being arranged v in sets, said sets being spaced apart at one end to provide an entrance for receiving said strip material, and the guide members of one set intermeshing with the guide Patented Feb. 17, 1959 said strip material with the guide'members adjacent the outer edges of said strip material intermeshing to a lesser degree than the guide members adjacent to the center-of said strip material, said guide members being disposed so as to efiect gradual lengthwise folding and simultaneous gradual transverse gathering of said material into a plurality of longitudinal pleats with the pleats in the central portion of the strip material larger than the pleats at the lateral portions thereof.
