  • Bar 126 carries, on the side ploded perspective in FIG. 9, are positioned for operation within the machine 20, the extension 124 rides along track 134 of bar 126, it being apparent that as carrier 114 is reciprocated with respect to bar 126, the extension 124 will traverse a path between lug 130 and lug 128.
  • Such movement accomplishes the actuation and deactuation of the machine by virtue of the fact that there is provided a switch 144 within the housing 30 for the motor 88, said switch 144 having a push-- button 146 which is disposed within the path of movement of the stop 136.
  • a switch 144 within the housing 30 for the motor 88, said switch 144 having a push-- button 146 which is disposed within the path of movement of the stop 136.
  • the length of the cigarette to be made by the machine 20 may be preselected by virtue of the position of the stop 136 on the bar 126, a second form of the bar being shown for instance, in FIG. 10 of the drawings wherein the stop 136 is positioned more toward the middle of the trackway 134, thispermitting the formation of a shorter.
  • the stop 136 may be located at any position along the actuator bar 126 and in order to permit fabrication of cigarettes of varying lengths, the machine may be either provided with a the open end of a hollow cigarette tube which has been previously positioned over the outer end 58 of said feeder pipe.
  • the agitator assembly 104 which has its legs 106 and 108 extending into the receptacle 46 with one of said legs on each side of the trough 54 and spaced upwardly and outwardly therefrom, causes agitation of the loose tobacco within the receptacle 46 to prevent the same from bridging over the trough, such agitation insuring a continuous flow of loose tobacco into the trough 54 for subsequent delivery by feeder member 68.
  • the machine 20 also includes a slidable carrier 114 which is reciprocable with respect to the machine 20, the carrier 114 having a first stretch 116 and a second, laterally offset stretch 118, there being a cradle 120 at the normally outermost end 122 of stretch 116 for receiving one end of the cigarette tube, the other end of the tube being telescoped over the feeder pipe 56 as hereinabove explained.
  • the slidable carrier 1 14 is provided with a lateral extension 124.

  • the rate of movement thereof ' is decreased for instance, thereby increasing the density with which the tobacco is packed into the cigarette tube.
  • decreasing the frictional engagement of the apparatus 148 with the carrier 114 will permit increased speed of movement of the carrier and thereby result in a lower density of tobacco within the finished cigarette and thus a less firm cigarette.
  • the machine is provided with a safety switch 162 for the motor 88, said switch initially closing a circuit to ready the machine 20 for actuation.
  • the switch 162 is operated by a reciprocable button 164 which is engaged by a portion of the lid 42 more specifically and inwardly extending flange 166 so that it is impossible to operate the machine 20 when the lid 42 is open.
  • the flange 166 engages button 164, thereby closing a circuit to the motor 88 and readying the machine for operation once stop 136 has been shifted into engagement with the button 146 which operates the direct motor actuating switch 144.
  • a suitable cigarette tube which may be in the form of an elongated, hollow tubular paper member open at both ends or such a member which is provided with a filter atone end thereof, is positioned with the open end telescoped over the outer end 58 of feeder pipe 56.

  • the slidable carrier is reciprocated in a right-hand direction viewing FIGS. 4 and 5 for instance, such reciprocation serving to further telescope the cigarette tube over the outer end 58 of feeder pipe 56 to a point where the opening 170 of the outer end 58 is adjacent the left-hand end of the area of the cigarette tube to be filled, viewing FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the extension 124 thereof will ride along trackway 134 until it engages lug 130, thereby causing shifting movement of actuator bar 126 in a right-hand direction to a point where the base leg 138 of stop 136 engages and depresses button 146 thereby closing switch 144 and actuating the motor 88.
  • the motor 88 continues to run, the normally rotary motion of its drive shaft 96 is converted, by scotch yoke 92 into a reciprocating motion, which motion is transmitted to the feeder member 68 and also to the legs 106 and 108 of agitator assembly 104.
  • the tobacco within the receptacle 46 is constantly agitated and permitted to flow downwardly into the trough 54 whereupon it is engaged by the teeth 80 of blade portion 72 of feeder member 68 and carried, by said teeth, along the feed pipe 56 through the outer end 58 thereof and into the cigarette tube telescoped thereover.
  • the angular disposition of certain of the teeth 84 and 86 of the feeder member 68 aids in engaging the strands of tobacco and tends to align the same in a longitudinal direction generally parallel with feeder member 68 and its rectilinear path of movement.

  • the serrations 64 and 66 In order to prevent the tobacco within the receptacle from being drawn to the right, viewing FIGS. 4 and 5, as the feeder member 68 reciprocates, the serrations 64 and 66 have the front edges thereof facing in the same direction as the front edges of the teeth 80 and thereby serve to effectively stop the backflow of tobacco which might otherwise occur as feeder member 68 moves on its return stroke to the right.
  • the rate of movement of carrier 114 can be controlled through firmness control apparatus 148, it being noted that the knob 158 therefor is located extcriorly of the machine whereby to permit ready access thereto and therefore, easy variance of the firmness of the cigarette being made by the machine.
  • the slidable carrier 114 is urged to the left inasmuch as the other end of the cigarette is in engagement with an end wall 174 of the cradle 120.
  • Such movement in a rectilinear path of the carrier 114 causes extension 124 to move along trackway 134 until it reaches lug 128.
  • the entire actuator bar 126 is shifted to the left, such shifting movement overcoming the detent engagement of assembly 143 with groove 142 whereby to shift stop 136 out of engagement with button 146 and thereby deactuate the machine, such deactuation occurring only afier a cigarette of the desired length has been fully fabricated.
