The object of this invention is to provide I is a chamber or receptacle for receiving 65 I 5 means to apply gum. or paste to the tip of a gum, paste, or the like, to be applied to the cigar while the wrapper is being rolled upon point of the cigar, which chamber is suitably said cigar; also, to provide improved means carried by the frame A, and preferably exfor holding the wrapper upon the butt-end of tends parallel with the rollers I) F G, as shown a cigar while said wrapper is being rolled in Fig. 1.

As shown in Fig. 4, the upper side of the piston J is cut away slightly or flattened, so as to pass along the fiat plate j. This construction also prevents the piston turning in the chamber when being operated; but it is evident that the chamber I and the piston J may be of any other shape than that shown in the drawings. To the piston J is secured a screw-rod or the like, L, that projects from one end of the chamber 1. (See Fig. 1.) The screw-rod Ii, outside of the chamber I, passes through a sleeve, 13, that has internal screwthreads to engage the threads on the rod L; To the sleeve 1) is secured a ratchet or toothed wheel, g, which is adapted to be engaged and actuated by a dog, 7, that is carried by a crank, s, projecting from a rock-shaft, M, suitably journaled in bearings in the frame A. As the shaft M is rocked in its bearings, the dog 0' will be forced to turn the wheel q the distance of one or more-teeth, thereby also turning the sleeve 1) and moving the rod L and piston .I forward a slight distance. The shaft M carries a crank, N, that is adapted to be engaged by a pin, it, on a wheel, u, carried by the shaft 6.
My improved finger for holding the wrapper upon the end of the cigar is constructed and operated as follows: 0 is a short shaft that is journaled so as to have longitudinal and retary movement in a small frame, I, that is carried by the shaft F of the roller F, and by a rod, 1 in the frame II. (See Fig. 1.) The frame Pis adapted to have lateral movement along the rod i; and shaft F and may be retained in the desired position by a set-screw, a carried by said frame and adapted to bear upon the rod 1 R is a finger adapted to hold the wrapper of a cigar against said cigar. Said finger is carried at one end of the shaft 0, and is connected to said shaft by a spiral spring, S. (See Fig. 1.) By this means the finger R is adapted to conform to the shape or size of a cigar end while holding the wrapper against said cigar. At the same time it securely carried by the shaft 0 and will turn with said shaft.
As shown in Fig. 1, the fingei-R is adapted to be passed between the rollers D F G. The shaft 0 carries a pinion, Z1 that gears with a pinion, (1*, on the shaft F which pinion is adapted to be turned by the shaft F The pinion b limits the longitudii'ial movement of the shaft '0 in its frame P by coming in contact with the sides of said frame. The lateral movement of the frame P may be limited by suitable means or by a stud, 6 carried by the shaft F which stud passes into a slot in the pinion (1 whereby said pinion will be turned with said shaft.
My improvements operate as follows: The frame II, carrying the roller F, is thrown back and a cigar-bunch is placed upon the rollers D G, with its point in the thimble E contiguous to the end of the passage-way 0. The corner of a wrapper is then placed againstthe larger end of the cigar and the frame swung down, so as to brin the finger R against the wrapper to hold said wrapper upon the cigar, while the roller F contacts the cigar. The operator now moves the shaft 6 outward, so as to carry the pin 2 on the wheel to out of line with the crank N. The cigar is now rolled in the usual way by turning the crank f. \Yhen the wrapper has been wound around the cigar, and when it is about wound around the point of the cigar, the shaft 6 is pushed inward, whereby the pin t is brought in line with the crank N. As the shaft 6 now continues to rotate, the movable part 7L of the thimble E will be reciprocated, as shown in the before-mentioned patent, while the pin 1. will come in contact with the crank N and rock the shaft M, thereby causing the dog "I" to turn the wheel q and sleeve 1) a slight distancesay the distance of one or two teeth. As the sleeve 2) is thus turned, the rod Ii will be caused to advance slightly, thereby pushing the piston J against the paste or the like contained in the chamber I. As the piston is thus moved forward, it will force a small amount of paste or the like through the tube n and passage-way 0 and against the tip of the cigar. As the cigar continues to rotate, the paste will be distributed upon the cigar tip and wrapper at the tip evenly and uniformly, so that when the cigar is removed from the rollers the wrapper will have had paste applied to it, thereby dispensing with the necessity of an operator applying paste by hand after the cigar was rolled, as has heretofore been done.
It will be noticed in the drawings that the thimble E is separate and independent from the means for holding and rolling the cigarbunch. If, now, any excess of paste were forced into the thimble, it would not cover the body of the cigar, but would pass out of the thimble and drop below, thereby pasting the point only of the cigar.
l'lavin g now described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a cigar-rolling machine, the combination, with means, as described, for rolling a cigar, of a shaft, 0, finger R, and spring S, interposed between the end of said finger and the end of said shaft, connecting said finger to said shaft, substantially as described.
2. 111a cigar-rolling machine, the rollers for rolling a cigar, combined with shaft 0, having pinion b finger R, and spring S, connecting the finger R to the shaft 0, and with the pinion d meshing with the pinion b shaft F and the independent frame P, supporting the shaft 0, whereby said shaft may have longitudinal movement, all arranged for opera tion substantially as described.
3. In a cigar-rolling machine, the combina tion, with means for rolling a cigar, of the rotatable shaft 0, the'rigid finger R, and the flexible connection between said fin ger and ing' a cap, 02, the tube 12, carried by said cap, 10 shaft, whereby the former is rotated by the and with means, substantially as described, latter, but can conform to the size and shape for pressing paste from the chamber I to the of the cigar, substantially as described.
4. In a cigar-rolling machine, the combination of means, substantially as described, for rolling a cigar and a point-receiving thiinble, the stationary part of said thilnble having; a passage-way, 0, with a pastc-chambcr, I, havthimble E, substantially as specified.
