Definitions

  • This invention relates to the helical movement of cylindrical or rod-shaped objects, and more particularly to the continuous application of a helical wrapping on rodshaped objects while undergoing helical movement as in the case of helically wrapping a ribbon of tobacco sheet on a series of cigar bunches aligned end to end.
  • Patent 3,135,406 that machine involves two spherical rolls journalled on opposite sides of the conveying path at a predetermined angle so as to impart an axial conveying motion combined with axial rotation of the rod-shaped objects or cigar bunches.
  • British Patent 856,082 discloses a multiple belt system for applying a wrapper onto a cigar bunch whereby one pair of belts advances the bunch longitudinally while a transversely positioned pair of belts imparts axial rotation to the bunch and still another belt supplies a tobacco sheet at a 45 angle to the advancing and rotating bunch.
  • An important object of high-speed wrapper rolling where it is possible to wrap hundreds of bunches per minute, is to provide a well-defined straight path through which each cigar bunch is conveyed with simultaneous rotation but free of the swaying that is inherent in the two devices of the prior art just discussed.
  • the band or strip of tobacco sheet is pulled from a roll thereof at a constant rate thereby minimizing tearing of the relatively tender strip of tobacco sheet which is essential if a high-speed wrapping machine is to operate without frequent interruptions.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus whereby cigar bunches are serially conveyed while rotated in a well-defined straight path free of any swaying movement.
  • the cigar bunch can be of the conventional type with filler tobacco encased in a helically wound binder, but preferably the cigar hunch is made on a rod-making machine of the type used in cigarette manufacture where the filler is encased in a straight seam-pasted binder.
  • the continuously formed rod is cut into cigar bunches of single or multiple length with a suitable cutoff device.
  • the bunches are fed end-to-end through a lowfriction rectilinear guide to two serially arranged and spaced sets of three driven rollers, the three rollers of each set being uniformly spaced around the axis of the cigar bunch and disposed with their three axes converging closely toward but not intersecting the axis of the cigar bunch so that the peripheries of the rollers contact the surface of the cigar bunch to impart both rotational and translational motion to the bunch, while a continuous ribbon of tobacco sheet is fed from a roll thereof into angular contact with the surface of the moving cigar bunch whereupon the ribbon is continuously helically wound around the cigar bunch by the helical movement of the bunch through the rollers.
  • the ribbon of tobacco sheet Prior to contacting the cigar bunch, the ribbon of tobacco sheet receives paste on its underside, as by conducting the ribbon over an appropriate paster, in order to adhere the ribbon to the bunch and thus prevent unraveling of the Wrapped bunch after it leaves the rollers.
  • a device severs the ribbon wrapped on that bunch at the point where the ribbon links that bunch to the next trailing bunch, which is in end-to-end relation to the wrapped bunch, in order to detach that wrapped bunch from the trailing bunch, preferably while the trailing bunch is still passing through the second set of rollers.
  • FIGURE 1 is a lateral aligned sectional view (partially broken away for clarity), taken along the line 1-1 of FIGURE 2, of a machine which serially conveys rodshaped objects such as cigar bunches while simultaneously rotating each such object about its axis as it longitudinally passes through the machine; and
  • FIGURE 2 is the end 'view of said machine when looking at its discharge end.
  • the machine comprises a tripodal frame 10 having three legs or arms 11, 12, 13 branching from cylindrical base 14 equidistantly, i.e.,'120, from each other around cylindrical base 14.
  • Frame 10 is supported with its cylindrical base 14 in a horizontal position by a vertical stand such as steel plate 15 to which frame 10 is fastened by bolts 16.
  • Base 14 has a central bore 17 aligned with circular aperture 18 in plate 15 and a rigid plastic tube 19, preferably of nylon or Teflon, acts as liner of aperture 18 and bore 17 and as guide for the rod-shaped objects supplied to the machine.
  • An annular member 20 comprising drive pulley 21 and bevel gear 22 is rotatably mounted with two sets of ball bearings 23, 24 on the exterior surface 25 of cylindrical base 14.
  • Spacer ring 26 fixes the spacing between ball bearings 23, 24 and spacer ring 27 holds the assembly of ball bearings 23, 24 and spacer ring 26 snugly in position against shoulder 28 on the exterior of base 14.
  • Timing belt 29 on drive pulley 21 is driven by means of a suitable power transmission by an electric motor or the drive of a rod-making machine of the type commonly used to manufacture cigarettes.
  • timing belt 29 In the case of cigar bunches made with a cigarette-making machine, it is preferred to drive timing belt 29 from the drive of the cigarette-making machine because with the aid of a suitable power transmission the operation of the machine of this invention can be made to synchronize perfectly with the operation of the cigarette-making machine regardless of variations in the speed of the latter.
  • Each of arms 11, 12, 13 supports one roller of each of two serially spaced sets of three rollers.
  • the first set of rollers 30A, 30B, 300 are attached to rotatable shafts 31A, 31B, 31C, respectively, which are mounted on arms 11, 12, 13, respectively.
  • the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C are attached to rotatable shafts 33A, 33B, 33C, respectively, which are mounted on arms 11, 12, 13, respectively.
  • Sleeve 34A passes through arm 11 and is held in position by set-screw 35A.
  • Brass bearings 36A, 37A are inserted into the opposite ends of sleeve 34A.
  • Shaft 31A passes through bearings 36A, 37A and has gear 38A attached to its end opposite the end with roller 30A.
  • Retainer collar 39A holds washers 40A against bearing 36A while washer 41A is disposed between bearing 37A and gear 38A.
  • Each of roller 30A, gear 38A and collar 39A is adjustably positioned along shaft 31A by a set-screw.
  • the other two rollers 30B, 30C of the first set also have the same elements corresponding to those described in association with roller 30A and shaft 31A.
  • Sleeve 42A passes through arm 11 and is held in position by set-screw 43A. Brass bearings 44A, 45A are inserted into the opposite ends of sleeve 42A. Shaft 33A passes through bearings 44A, 45A and has gear 46A attached to its end opposite the end with roller 32A. Retainer collar 47A holds washer 48A against bearing 44A while washer 49A is disposed between bearing 45A and gear 46A. Each of roller 32A, gear 46A and collar 47A is adjustably positioned along shaft 33A by a set-screw. The other two rollers 32B, 32C of the second set also have the same elements corresponding to those described in association with roller 32A and shaft 33A.
  • the pairs of gears 38A, 46A on arm 11, 38B, 468 on arm 12 and 38C, 460 on arm 13 are each meshed with gears 50, 51, 52, respectively, which form combination gears with bevel gears 53, 54, 55, respectively.
  • Combination gear 52, 55 is rotatably mounted with two sets of ball bearings 56C, 570 on bolt 58C extending through arm 13.
  • Spacer ring 59C fixes the spacing between ball bearings 56C, 57C and spacer ring 60C keeps combination gear 52, 55 from rubbing the surface of arm 13.
  • Nut 610 on bolt 58C completes the assembly which permits bevel gear 55 to mesh with bevel gear 22 of annular member 20.
  • combination gears 50, 53 and 51, 54 also have the same elements corresponding to those described in association with combination gear 52, 55 so that all three bevel gears 53, 54, 55 mesh with bevel gear 22.
  • the machine just described will function to rotate the two sets of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C and 32A, 32B, 32C at the same speed by the operation of timing belt 29.
  • the counterclockwise movement of belt 29 around pulley 21 causes bevel gear 22 to rotate counter-clockwise which in turn causes meshing bevel gears 53, 54, 55 to rotate clockwise.
  • This clockwise rotation of bevel gears 53, 54, 55 acting through their combined gears 50, 51, 52, respectively, imparts counterclockwise rotation to gears 38A, 46A, 38B, 46B, 38C, 46C and respectively associated rollers 30A, 32A, 30B, 32B, 30C, 32C.
  • each of the two sets of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C and 32A, 32B, 32C rotating counterclockwise will cause clockwise rotation of a rod-shaped object which comes into contact first with all three rollers 4 30A, 30B, 30C and then with all three rollers 32A, 32B, 32C.
  • cylindrical cigar bunches aligned in end-to-end relation and pushed into contact with the first set of three rollers 30A, 30B, 30C will, when timing belt 29 is running simultaneously effect clockwise rotation (viewed in FIGURE 2) and longitudinal movement (to the right, viewed in FIGURE 1) of each cigar bunch contacting first the set of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C and then the set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C.
  • each cigar bunch be at least slightly longer than the distance between the point where the first set of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C contact the cigar bunches and the point where the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C contact the cigar bunches. In this way, each cigar bunch is under the positive action and control of at least one of the two sets of rollers during the passage of that cigar bunch through the machine.
  • each cigar bunch is helically wrapped with a ribbon of tobacco sheet.
  • the tobacco sheet ribbon R is drawn from a spool (not shown) around an idler roller 62, which may be supported by steel plate 15, and over a paste applicator 63 which functions to spread a paste such as aqueous methylcellulose or gum tragacanth on the bottom or inner side of ribbon R.
  • ribbon R comes into contact with the top of each cigar bunch between the first set of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C and the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C.
  • the positive helical movement of the cigar bunches imparted by the two sets of rollers continuously pulls ribbon R from the spool, around idler roller 62 and over paste applicator 63 and helically wraps it around the cigar bunches as they pass through the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C.
  • the paste on the bottom or inner side of ribbon R sticks ribbon R on the cigar bunches so that it will not unravel after the cigar bunches leave the machine.
  • Paste applicator 63 may take any desired form. As shown in FIGURE 2, it is a hollow cylinder in form with a series of perforations or a narrow slit in the portion of its surface over which ribbon R is drawn. The paste is supplied to applicator 63 through flexible tubing 64 and a suitable bracket 65 for applicator 63 may also be mounted on plate 15. It is well to note that idler roller 62 and paste applicator 63 are both positioned angularly with respect to the length of the cigar bunches since ribbon R must come in angularly to the cigar bunches for proper helical wrapping thereon.
  • tobacco sheet ribbon R is a continuous ribbon
  • the helically wrapped cigar bunches discharged by the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C are linked to one another by ribbon -R.
  • a suitable severing device such as the type commonly used on cigarette-making machines to cut the continuous cigarette rod into individual cigarettes may be employed to cut through the helically wrapped ribbon R on the cigar bunches at every point where one cigar bunch abuts the next bunch.
  • the severing device will cut through ribbon R each time two abutted ends of cigar bunches pass the severing device.
  • FIGURE 1 Such abutted ends of cigar bunches linked by the helical wrapping of ribbon R is shown in FIGURE 1 at point A in the series of bunches. With each cut made by the severing device at point A between linked bunches, another helically wrapped cigar bunch has been completed and detached from the trailing series of bunches.
  • FIGURE 1 also shows at points B the abutted ends of cigar bunches before they have been covered with the helical wrapping of ribbon R.
  • Cigar bunches made on a conventional cigarette-making machine will have the pasted longitudinal seam of the enveloping tobacco sheet along the top of the bunches and therefore this top seam is not seen in the bunches entering the machine of the invention as viewed in FIGURE 1.
  • a cigar hunch is pushed into contact with the first set of three rollers 30A, 30B, 30C it begins to rotate about its axis while simultaneously moving longitudinally so that seam S of the bunch which is under the positive action of rollers 30A, 30B, 300 as well as of rollers 32A, 32B, 320 may be seen in FIGURE 1.
  • each bunch is continuously under the positive control of at least one of the two sets of rollers from the moment when the bunch enters the first set of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C to the moment when that bunch leaves the second set of rollers 32A, 32B, 32C.
  • each of the three arms 11, 12, 13 of tripodal frame 10 is also at an angle in the range of about 40 to 50 with respect to the axis of cylindrical base 14 of frame 10. Because shafts 31A, 31B, 31C, 33A, 33B, 33C are set at right angles to arms 11, 12, 13, it is evident that rollers 30A, 30B, 30C, 32A, 32B, 32C will also be disposed at the same angle of arms 11, 12, 13 relative to the axis of the series of cigar bunches.

Frankerrburg and P. W. Garbo in lieu of cigarette paper are continuously fed in abutted end-to-end relation into plastic tube 19 and as each double cigar bunch comes into contact with the first set of three rollers 30A, 30B, 30C it is positively advanced by these rollers with a simultaneous forward and rotational movement.
  • Each advancing double cigar bunch also comes into contact with the second set of three rollers 32A, 32B, 32C which not only stabilizes the action of the first set of rollers 30A, 30B, 30C on that bunch but also positively continues the advancement of that bunch after it leaves the first set of rollers.
  • the distance between the point of contact of the first set of rollers and the point of contact of the second set of rollers is 4% inches along the length of the cigar bunch.
  • the three arms 11, 12, 13 supporting the rollers radiate from cylindrical base 14 equidistantly from each other and at an angle of 40 to the axis of cylindrical base 14.

Garbo is drawn from a roll thereof rotatably held by a bracket of the type provided with a brake which is released in response to a pulling action on the ribbon as shown in FIGURE 1 of U.S. Patent 3,060,775 to I. A. Dreher. Then the ribbon passes over paste applicator 63 which spreads a thin layer of aqueous methylcellulose paste on the bottom or inner surface of the ribbon and thence the ribbon is further drawn between the two sets of rollers by the helical movement of the double cigar bunches on which the ribbon is wrapped.
