CIGAR-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 436,559, dated September 16, 1890.
Application iiled April 25, 1890. Serial No. 349,535. (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that l, GEORGE OAswELL, `of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain Improvements in Cigar-Machines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to what are generally known as stationary belt machines, in which a slack belt to form the wrapper is arranged above a bed or t-able fixed at its ends and combined with a traveling roller, by which it is caused to partly envelop and rotate the bunch while carrying the same over the bed.
The invention consists in various details of construction, among others the arrangement of the bed and various operating parts in an inclined position that the traveler may be operated by gravity, in a construction which admits of the machine being varied in width to produce cigars of different lengths, and in various details.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my machine. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same on the line 2 2, the parts being in position for the introduction of the tobacco. Figs. 3 and 4 are longitudinal vertical sections showing in outline the apron and the traversing roller at diierent stages of the operation. Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical section on the line 5 5, Figs. l and 2.
Referring to the drawings, A A represent two vertical side plates or frames, each formed with a longitudinal inclined slot a, and with a longitudinal flange or shoulder a on the inner side, as shown in Fig. 5.
B B are two overlapping plates attached to the upper inclined edges of the respective side frames and forming jointly a bed or table, the width of which may be varied by changing the distance between the side frames. These frames are rigidly connected, and variation in the distance between them provided for by two arms c, extending horizontally inward from frame A and overlapping corresponding slotted arms c', which are projected from frame A and connected by screws c2 to the irst-named arms. The slots and screws admit of the arms being extended or shortened at will to vary the width of the table, the sections of which, sustained at the outer edges by the arms, are free to slide upon each other. At the lower end the table is formed with a transverse depression or pocket l) to permit the introduction of the tobacco, and at the upper end it has two depressed arms b', which receive and sustain the completed filler as it is released `and delivered over the upper end of the table.
D represents the slack filler-forming apron overlying the table, its upper end secured between clamping-bars E E, seated in notches in the side frames, and its lower end clamped between bars n n', seated in `notches in the under side ot the side plates.
F is a transverse roller, traveling over and beneath which the apron is carried to form the usual pocket for the tobacco. This roller is mounted at its ends in vertically-adjustable boxes f, slotted and secured by screws f to plates f2, arranged to slide lengthwiseon the side frames. These sliding frames are provided with journals f3, extending through the slots and carrying rollers f4, which travel on the iianges a of the side frames, as shown in Fig. 5. These rollers sustain and carry the principal part of the weight of the sliding plates and the top roller, and enable said parts to be carried easily to and fro and to descend by gravity to the lower end of the bed after the completion of each filler.. The
rollers-also bear beneath top flanges a2 on the side frames to prevent the parts from binding under the upward pressure of the tobacco beneath the top roll. The journals of the rollers are threaded and screwed into the ends of a connecting sleeve or nut Gr, by which they are adjusted endwise as changes in the width of the machine may demand. To this sleeve is attached a cord G', extended thence upward over a guide-pulley H and downward to a foot-lever or treadle l, which is arranged so that when depressedit will cause the slides to advance and carry the top roll upward over the table. The pulley is mounted on a rod g, seated at its ends in the side frames and provided with a series of holes to receive keys or pins g', which keep it in place, and by their changes in position from hole to hole admit of the side frames being moved.
In operating the machine the roller is permitted to gravitate to the position shown in Figs. l and 2, and the tobacco introduced into the pocket in the apron beneath the top IOO roll. The treadle is then depressed, causing the top roll to move upward over the table, in doing which the apron is caused to pay around the same and rotate the tobacco within the pocket, which is advanced in the apron until the upper end of the table is reached, When the filler is rolled outinto the receivingarms, the apron being` released so that the filler may be removed.
Having thus described my invention, whatl claim isp l. In combination with the fixed side frames and table inclined, as described, the apron, the top roll, the gravitating roll supports or slides, the cord to carry the slides upward, and a pedal to operate the cord.
2. The side frames, the table-sections attached thereto7 and the cross-connections adjustable to change the width of the table, in combination with the top roll, its sliding supporting-plates, the connection between said plates adjustable, as described, to suit the varying width of the table, and the belt.
The side frames having the inclined slots, and the longitudinal top and bottom shoulders projecting laterally from the frames, in combination with the rollers mounted to travel between the said shoulders, the table, the apron, the side plates carried by the rollers bym'eansof connections extendingthrough the slots, and the top roll. A
4. In a cigar-machine, a fixed inclined table with a pocket or depression at the lower end, in combination with an overlying apron iixed at its ends, inclined side guides, a top roll, supports for said roll mounted to travel on the side guides and to descend by gravity, and means for carrying the roll and its supports upward.
In testimony whereof I hereunto Aset my hand, this 14th day of April, 1890, in the presence of two attesting witnesses.
GEORGE CASVELL.
