Definitions

  • the present invention relates to filter tip cigarette making machines and is directed particularly to a method for producing and handling the connector sheets which are used to unite the filter bodies with the cigarettes. More particularly, the invention is concerned with an improvement in an arrangement for the removal of con nector sheets severed from an adhesive coated strip of connector material from a drum on which the connector siheets are produced and supplied to a point where they are transferred to cigarettes, filter cigarillos, filter rods, recess filter rods, and other like articles.
  • a suction conveyor provided for feeding the connector sheets is provided with one or more suction chambers arranged so that the suction is operative on the outer surface of the suction conveyor on both sides of the transfer point and is inoperative in the region of the transfer point.
  • a separate chamber in the suction conveyor beneath the transfer point which is in communication with the atmosphere or with a higher pressure.
  • a scraper is provided near the end of the suction chamber as described for example in the German patent specification No. 956,208. This scraper engages the surface of the suction conveyor to remove the connector sheet which has been carried on the conveyor.
  • the entire gumrning mechanism is moved out of the way so that all the connector sheets are rejected.
  • the purpose of the known device is for checking and starting the gumming mechanism as well as for preventing the feeding of connector sheets when cigarettes or filters only are fed through the machine, for checking the operation of the machine parts concerned.
  • FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically a side elevation view of the connector sheet producingand transfendrum of a filter-cigarette making machine
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show each the transfer point between the two drums as shown in FIG 1 and illustrate different positions of the connector sheets.
  • a clockwise rotating connector sheet producing and supply drum 1 cooperates with a counterclockwise rotating cutting drum 2 which severs individual connector sheets 15 from a strip 10* while on the circumference of the drum 1.
  • the connector sheets 15 are caused by suction, which is applied to a stationary suction chamber 9' within the drum 1, to adhere to the circumference of the latter.
  • the circumference wall of the drum is provided with perforations which transmit the suction to the sheets 15.
  • a counterclockwise rotating transfer drum 3 is arranged above the connector sheet supplying drum 1.
  • the drum 3' is provided on its circumference with axially extending grooves 4 for holding therein groups of axially aligned filters and cigarettes 5 which are to be united by the connector sheets 15.
  • Suetion ducts 6 lead from the bottoms of the grooves 4 to a source of suction so that the cigarette-filter groups 5 are retained in the grooves 4 when the drumrotates and when the groups are connected with each other by a connector sheet 15.
  • Curved guide rails 7 and 8 are arranged concentrically about the transfer drum 3 so that the groups 5 are additionally supported and do not drop from the grooves 4.
  • the connector sheet 15 remains on the periphery of the drum 1, and the leading end 16 of the connector sheet '15 is moved under the guide rail 8 and is, in fact, caused to adhere by suction on the drum 1, as shown in FIG. 3. Finally, however, the connector sheet '15 is removed from the drum 1 by the scraper 12, as shown in FIG. 1, and is discharged into the container 13.
  • the connector sheet 15 shown in full lines in FIG. 1 at the right hand side of the transfer point U would have been attached to a group 5 if such group had been present in the groove 4 which has reached the position B. Since, however, this groove 4 is empty the connector sheet 15 intended for a filter-cigarette group 5 has been discharged into the container 13.
  • a method for handling gummed connector sheets employed for uniting transversely moving groups of axialiy-ali'gned rod-like articles, such as cigarettes and filter plugs including the steps of feeding the connector sheets by means of a suction conveyor to a transfer point where they meet said groups moving in a circuitous path, reducing the suction action at said transfer point for facilitating an adherence of said gurnmed connector sheets to said groups so that said gummed connector sheets continue to move with said groups in said circuitous path, and subjeoting those connector sheets which fail to meet a group of axially aligned articles at said transfer point, owing to the absence of said "group, to an increased suction action immediately beyond said transfer point so that said last named connector sheets remain temporarily on said conveyor and then are removed from the same.
  • a method for handling gummed connector sheet employed for uniting transversely moving groups of axially aligned rod-like articles, such as cigarettes and filter plugs including the steps of feeding the connector sheets by means of a suction conveyor to a point where they are transferred to said groups while the latter continue to move along their path, reducing the suction action on said connector sheets at said point of transfer for facilitating an adherence of said gummed connector sheets to said groups so that said 'gummed connector sheets continue to move with said groups along the path of the latter, and subjecting those connector sheets which fail to meet a group of axially aligned articles at said transfer point, owing to the absence of said group, to an increased suction action immediately beyond said transfer point so that said last named connector sheets remain temporarily on said conveyor and then are removed from the same.
