Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the manufacture of cigarettes and is particularly directed to apparatus in the nature of a reservoir for the storage and delivery of cigarette or filter tip rods in such machines.
  • the present invention was conceived with direct application to the feeding of filter rods in a filter tip attachment mechanism, i.e., a mechanism for joining the tip and cigarette, and while the following description is so directed, it should be appreciated that it is equally applicable to the delivery of cigarettes and its uses can be effected in other cigarette or cigar manufacturing mechanisms such as packaging machines.
  • the system as described in my copending application is capable of automatically transferring cigarettes or filter rods at high speeds and over long distances in a continuous unending stream. While such a system now makes it feasible, for example to link maker units for cigarettes to packaging machines, and maker or supply units for tips directly to attachment machines to eliminate manual operation, the linking cannot economically be done on a one to one basis of production, because of the variations in rate of production, efiiciency, etc., of each of the units, wherein one might produce or use rods at a different rate from the other.
  • one of the basic advantages of the automatic transfer system disclosed is that it permits various classes of machinery to be segregated in positions remote from each other, e.g. the manufacture of filter rods is desirably performed quite separately from the manufacture of filter cigarettes.
  • the filter tip attachment machine will stop and start as a result of the exigencies of manufacture and the automatic supply of filter rods must follow. This is conveniently achieved by sensing the quantity of filter rods at the attachment, stopping the supply from the remote position when this quantity exceeds a predetermined amount and starting the supply from the remote position when this quantity is deficient.
  • Such a new reservoir is required to be able to automatically receive and keep rods in relative parallel orientation, even though the receipt of the rods are at high speed.
  • the new reservoir is also required to feed such rods at demand in the same oriented fashion.
  • the reservoir is further required to be able to have a variable storage capacity with a predetermined minimum retention and a sufficiently variable capacity to keep receiving rods from a maker even though the feed from the reservoir has stopped.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a reservoir, in accordance with the present invention, for receiving filter rods, shown in conjunction with the feed drum of a filter tip attachment of a cigarette machine, and;
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the same, taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view of a modification of the present invention.
  • the reservoir R in conjunction with a lower hopper L.
  • the reservoir R is defined by side and end wall members 10 and a slightly inclined horizontal conveyor C along its bottom.
  • the conveyor C is formed of two parallel spaced endless bands or belts 12 driven by a pulley 14 mounted on a drive shaft 16.
  • Belts 12 are conventionally led over a plurality of idler rollers 18 and take-up roller 20 to insure proper tension.
  • the upper runs of belts 12, specifically that portion which forms the bottom wall of the reservoir R, is supported by a plate 22 which at its forward end is pivotably mounted on a stud 24 and at its rearward end rests on the vertical adjusting screw 26 conventionally secured to the back wall.
  • the screw 26 is threaded through a fixed nut 28 and thus enables the table 22 to be adjustably positioned.
  • the reservoir is provided with a positive introduction entrance means E located at the rearward end of the conveyor C so that rods F supplied through chute A of a pneumatic transfer means of the type shown in my copending application can be securely introduced therein.
  • the entrance means E comprises a roller 32 which is spaced from, but jointly rotated with the belt 12 of the conveyor C.
  • the means for rotating the roller 32 is conventional and therefore not shown.
  • the roller 32 and belt 12 are spaced from each other a distance approximately equal to the diameter of the incoming rod P so that the rod will be positively gripped between them.
  • the adjustability of the supporting plate 22 has the advantage that the space between the feed roller 32 and belts 12 may be so varied to accommodate different diameter rods and for minute adjustment of pressure upon the rod.
  • the chute A is provided with an angular turn which serves the purpose of straightening the rod P and conducting the same serially in horizontal position to the space between the feed roller 32 and the conveyor.
  • the gripping effect of roller 32 and belt 12 has a further advantage of maintaining the rods in orientation.
  • the rods enter reservoir R and proceed to the forward end of conveyor C.
  • the rods F drop into the lower hopper L through the relatively restricted opening 0, the lower hopper L comprising an inclined chamber 34 formed by adjustable agitator plate 36 and a spring mounted yieldable top plate 38.
  • Agitator plate 36 is pivotably mounted at its upper end 40 and is oscillated in the direction of the dotted arrow in a conventional manner by the arm 42.
  • the yieldable top plate 38 is also affixed in a conventional manner, however, it is provided with stop means in the form of a pin 44 preventing its complete forward movement. Between the weight of the top plate 38 and its spring mounting suflicient force is exerted on agitator plate 36 to keep the rod F orientation without damage, in the inclined chamber 34.
  • the rods F are conducted via a vibrating slanting bottom plate 46 to a pair of counter rotating grooved or toothed spaced rollers 48.
  • the bottom plate 46 is mounted at one end to a suitable frame structure and the other end is freely resting on an agitating assembly 50 comprising a pair of rollers 52 and 54, one of which, namely, roller 54, having a plurality of flat sides
  • the rollers are driven in a con ventional manner, the result effecting longitudinal oscillation of bottom plate 46 within direction of the double arrow.
  • the toothed rollers 48 act as a metering gate permitting only one rod at a time to pass between them thus creating a single file formation of said rods.
  • the rods F thereafter pass into the curved channel 56 formed by a pair of spaced guide plates and fall one-by-one into the spaced horizontal grooves 58 of the rotating feed drum 60.
  • the oscillating agitator plate 36 which operates in conjunction with the spring mounted top plate 38 has the advantage of being able to supply a sufficient quantity of rods to the rollers 48 without the weight of the bulk of rods in the lower hopper L creating any undesirable pressure in the region of rollers 48.
  • the agitating bottom plate 46 insures continued and free movement of the rods to the metering gate.
  • the apparatus is furthermore so designed that the belts 12 of the conveyor C and the roller 32 which feed the rods into the upper hopper are driven independently of the fed machine, i.e., tip attachment machine so that when, for example, feed roller 60 stops, the rods in the supply line A will continue to be fed into said hopper.
  • An important advantage of the present structure now becomes apparent.
  • the positive feed at the entrance E to the reservoir R, the continued movement of conveyor C and the restricted exiting through hopper L permits the bubbling up of a plurality of layers of oriented parallel rods F in the reservoir R without any back pressure or interference with the operation of source A and feed roller 32. In effect, this raises the level of rods above the conveyor level from the bottom up.
  • the attachment unit i.e., feed drum 60, stop
  • the light of the photocell system 62-64 will also be interrupted as the reservoir is filled and the supply from the rod making machine will then be stopped.
  • the rods enroute or in transit through the pneumatic supply line will, of course, continue to be fed into the reservoir until the line itself is empty.
  • the conveyor C will cause these rods to be stored in reservoir R and the rods so received will be available to the attachment machine upon restarting, avoiding the time delay awaiting the arrival of new rods.
  • the drive mechanism for the conveyor C and feed roller 32 may be wired in conjunction with a timer (not shown) in such a manner that they start up instantly with the cigarette machine but are switched off after a predetermined interval after the tipping machine stops permitting the rods in transit to be fed into the reservoir before the whole mechanism comes to rest.
  • a second photocell system 6668 is also provided to effect stoppage of the tipping machine in case the rod supply should fail and the reservoir R becomes empty.
  • FIG. 3 shows such an arrangement.
  • a reservoir comprising at least front and rear substantially vertical walls, a restrictive entrance opening adjacent said rear wall for the positive oriented entry of only one rod at a time, and an exit opening spaced from said entrance com municating with means for the receipt of said articles, and a bottom wall bridging the distance between said entrance and said exit comprising a conveyor for carrying and moving said rod from said entrance to said exit, said restrictive opening, said conveyor and said vertical walls cooperating to stack a plurality of layers of rods within said reservoir on the blocking of said exit.
  • the bottom wall comprises at least one moving belt on to which the articles are delivered by the transport means and which frictionally introduces the articles into the reservoir.
  • the bottom wall comprises at least one moving belt on to which the articles are delivered by the transport means, a roller spaced from and cooperating with said moving belt to grip the articles as they move forwardly to enter the reservoir.
  • the bottom wall comprises at least one moving belt on to which the articles are delivered by the transport means, a roller spaced from and cooperating with said moving belt to grip the articles as they move forwardly to enter the reservoir and a refuser roll upstream of the gripping roll also driven in cooperation with the moving belt spaced from said belt sufliciently to permit the free passage of a single stream of articles to the gripping roll but preventing any articles in excess of a single stream from passing.
  • the apparatus according to claim 1 including a hopper for delivering said rods to a subsequent feeding mechanism and an inclined channel communicating with the eXit of said reservoir connecting said reservoir and hopper for the transfer of rods therebetween, said inclined channel being formed of a pair of spaced walls,
  • the reservoir according to claim 8 including means for agitating one of said walls during movement of said rods.
