Definitions

  • Filter tip attachments of the assembly type such as disclosed in patent application, Serial No. 509,293, are designed to produce filter-tipped cigarettes by making an assembly of prefabricated parts of cigarettes, such parts being fed from separate sources in succession until the whole cigarette is built up.
  • this entails feeding tobacco cigarettes, filters, uniting band material, and adhesive, and correctly manipulating them.
  • the purpose of this invention is to effect a general economy in the operation of the filter tip attachment by preventing the ilow of the various component parts of the filter-tipped cigarette through the machine unless certain other parts are present to make complete cigarettes. For example, if cigarettes fail to arrive in the attachment due to some malfunctioning in the cigarette maker proper, the tiow of filters and uniting band material is automatically arrested until the cigarette flow is re-established, when the flow of filters and uniting band material will be automatically re-cornmenced.
  • FIGURE l of the drawings shows a diagrammatic ar- Vpending application, in order that the assembly Vice rangement of the integrated components of an assembly type mouthpiece cigarette making machine.
  • FIGS. 2 to 9 illustrate various mechanical details and circuits of FIG. 1 as described in the following disclosure.
  • the cigarette assembly is rotatably mounted on an endless series of rollers, which support the assembly whilst the yuniting -band is rolled on.
  • the heavy hatched paths represent mechanical connections between the elements involved and thin lines represent electrical connections.
  • the arrow heads show the direction in which either the mechanical or electricalimpulses are transmitted.
  • the endless stream of separated cigarettes 1 issuing ⁇ from the standard cigarette-making machine are carried in the direction of the arrow 40 on a conventional endless convcyor tape (not shown) usually referred to as the speed-up tape because it speeds up the individual cigarettes, after they are severed from the continuous cigarette rod in order to provide a space between them to facilitate further manipulation.
  • a conventional endless convcyor tape usually referred to as the speed-up tape because it speeds up the individual cigarettes, after they are severed from the continuous cigarette rod in order to provide a space between them to facilitate further manipulation.
  • a photo-electric pickup 2 suitably located to view this stream of cigarettes, will generate pulses of energy as long as there is an uninterrupted iiow of separated cigarettes moving at this point. These pulses are amplied and if required may be fed simultaneously to two separate circuits. lOne of these is a lockout circuit which controls the ⁇ operation of a cigarette machine.
  • the other circuit may be used to stop and start the mechanism supplying filters to the machine. to accomplish this, as illustrated in FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4; the filter feed drive may be tted with a suitable dog clutch 60, 64 designed with a plurality of stations of possible engagement, see FIGS. 2a and 3a, the proportions being such that the feed is in time with the remainder of the mechanism at each possible engagement station.
  • This clutch 7 may disconnect the plug feed 8 from its drive for two separate and distinct reasons.
  • the clutch may be moved-into the ⁇ disconnect position illustrated in FIGS. 2b and 3b by means of the solenoid 3, illustrated by broken line position in FIG. 2b, which may be activated byl any suitable electrical signal.
  • the clutch is'designed so that if the plug feed should become jammed for any reason whatsoever, the resulting increase in driving torque would cause the dog clutch to slip, from the station as illustrated in FIGS. 3a and 3b and so move to the disconnect position.
  • the detector switch 5 is mechanically operated by the clutch movement as illustrated in FIGS. 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4. From this it will be understood that when a signal is fed to solenoid 3 to release the plug feed clutch 7 to stop the flow of plugs, the movement of the clutch resulting from this signal operates the detector switch 5. Thus, the signal to the solenoid 3 must, in this case, precede the signal resulting from detector switch 5 which is only operated as a result of the first signal. v
  • This movement of disengagement also operates the detector switch which in turn is made to operate the solenoid 3 for the purpose of holding the clutch in the disengaged position until the physical jam is manually cleared.
  • the signal from the detector switch 5 precedes that to the solenoid 3.
  • This apparatus functions ⁇ as follows: When the photocell 2 senses an absence of cigarettes 1 being fed to the machine, a signal is sent via the Priority circuit to the solenoid 3, as illustrated in the circuit diagram, FIG. 5, which disengages the plug feed clutch '7 to stop the flow of plugs. As soon as the photocell 2 senses the cigarettes 1 are again owing, a signal is sent via the same path to immediately restart the plug feed.
  • the detector switch 5 signals via priority circuit 10 to the solenoid 3 which holds the clutch in the disengaged position indefinitely; i.e., the clutch is latched out as a result of malfunctioning of the plug feed and cannot be restarted until the re-set switch 11 is operated, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the manual switch 12 is used to energize the solenoid 3 which de-clutches the plug feed.
  • the solenoid 3 is energized as a result of a signal from photocell 2, the plug feed must be restored to working condition immediately upon receipt of an appropriate signal from either the photocell 2 or the switch 12, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • Co-pending application shows a cork vacuum drum to apply gummed uniting band patches to the cigarettes ⁇ and lilter assemblage, and a separate heater drum to subsequently ⁇ apply heat to dry the adhesive.
  • the vacuum drum may also apply heat so that the functions of these two elements are combined as in copending application, Serial No. 744,788 filed .Tune 26, 195 8, now Patent No. 2,984,245, by M. E. Phillips.
  • the Ivacuum drum 15 which supplies the gummed uniting lband patches -to the cigarette assemblage is heated by means of built in electrical resistances as shown in the said patent.
  • the signal from microswitch 14 passes through either limit switch 20 or limit switch 21 dependent upon the existing position of the vacuum drum 15 to activate the reversible motor 16 which will move the drum 15 to the opposite position, see FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the vacuum drum 15 y will be in the raised position away from the cigarette roller belt 27, and the limit switch 20 will be closed by mechanical engagement of the linkage 18 between the motor 16 and the vacuum drum 15, as illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the clutch lever 13 is moved from either the right or left hand positions to the central neutral position. This movement operates microswitch 14 which signals via limit switch 21 and control 17 to start the motor 16 in a rotational direction opposite to that employed during the previous movement. This moves the mechanical linkage 18 to lift the vacuum drum 15 and, at the end of the upwards movement of linkage '18 the limit switch 20 is contacted which stops the motor 16, restoring the mechanism to its original position.
  • the motor'16 is tted with a braking device Z2, electrically controlled by suitable devices in control box 17, as illustrated in FIG. 7, to arrest the movement of the motor immediately either limit switch 26 or 21 is contacted, thus preventing the motor from coasting past the desired stopping position.
  • the clutch lever 13 has three positions, the central one being neutral with the low and high speed positions on either side. This is advantageous from the point of view of operating convenience for the machine can be started directly in low or high speeds at will. However, conditions do exist which make it necessary or desirable to start the machine in low speed to enable adjustments to be made at low outputs, and then, when the product is satisfactory, to switch over directly to high speed. It will be appreciated that the change from low to high speed entails passing through the neutral position. According to the above description, this movement of tlie lever 13 would initiate the lifting of the drums 1S so that gummed uniting band patches would not be delivered to the cigarette assemblies until the drum 15 had returned to its operating position, thus permitting a number of incomplete cigarettes to pass through the machine. This would not occur if the clutch lever could be moved directly from low, through neutral to high speed without lifting the drum, but it would still be necessary to lift the drum when the lever is left in neutral.
  • a delay device 23 is wired into the circuit, illustrated in FIG. 7, between the limit switch 21 and the motor control 17.
  • the delay device 23 is not in the. circuit controlled by the upper limit switch 20 and that there is accordingly never a delay in initiating a downward movement ofthe drum 15.
  • the drum can be moved into the operating position immediately on demand but there will always be a delay of two seconds between the initiating signal and the commencement of any upwards movement.
  • This arrangement avoids the possibility of workers inadvertently leaving a heated drum on the cigarettes where it might do damage, when a jam occurs and automatically avoids the unnecessary manufacture of defective cigarettes because all components of the machine are not ready to start working when the machine is started.
  • the uniting band feed employed here is similar to that used .in the above-mentioned Phillips Patent No. 2,984,- 245.
  • Band material 24 is drawn from a source of supply (not shown) by means of ⁇ roller 34 and the co-acting resilient roll 35, as illustrated in solid line in FGS. l and 8.
  • roll 3S When roll 3S is lifted the pressure between these two rolls is removed and the web is no longer drawn from the supply point, as illustrated in broken line FIG. 8.
  • Further mechanism is connected with the roller 35 to ensure that the motion of lifting it also raises the uniting band web away from the gum roller, gripping it against a fixed anvil to prevent the drag of the vacuum ⁇ drum 15 from pulling the web directly from the supply.
  • a double length filter plug must be between these two cigarettes as monitored by a separate circuit of cell 28.
  • the centrifugal switch 31 will signal the uniting band feed even if all component parts are correctly positioned. This is necessary 1n spite of the fact that the -band feed being driven from the machine will also stop with it, for this signal is employed to initiate the movement of the mechanism for lifting the web away from the gum roller. If this were not done, the web would be liable to stick to the roller and so not be in a fit condition for re-starting.
  • the photocell 28 will stop the uniting band feed if either of the necessary two cigarettes or the duplex lter is missing and the manually operated switch 32 makes it possible to stop the uniting band feed at any time to enable the machine to be run for adjusting purposes without feeding the gummed uniting band patches.
  • This uniting -band switch 32 is mechanically coupled to the ler plug feed switch 12 so that one movement operates both switches simultaneously. This is done so that when setting up the cigarette maker proper to make the all tobacco portion of the assembly, all auxiliary materials may be held back from one single control point until correct production is obtained when the flow of the auxiliary parts m-ay be recommenced with equal facility.
  • this arrangement operates'quite automatically. For instance, if, due to malfunctioning of the cigarette maker proper, the all tobacco portions the of the cigarettes fail to arrive on the roller band 27, the photocell 2 will stop the delivery of filters and the photocell 28 will stop the delivery of uniting band patches. If, as frequently happens in such cases, the operator can correct the fault and restore the ow of cigarettes without stopping the machine, the How of titler plugs and uniting band ptaches will automatically be restored as soon as the respective photocells sense the presence of the necessary components.
  • the photocells are so positioned and the parts are so designed to ensure that cigarettes, filters, and uniting band patches arrive simultaneously at the assembly point i.e., the commencement of the feed of each is timed in relation to the distance from the final assembly point to ensure that no single component arrives at that point without the remainaing components, thus iione is wasted.
