PHILIP WHITLOCK, OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, ASSIGN OR TO THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY, OF NEWv YORK, N. Y.
BINDER-CLAMP FOR CIGAR-BUNCHING MACHINES.V
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,488, dated June 13, 1893.
Application filed December 31, 1892. Serial No. 456.854. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, PHILIP WHITLOCK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Richmond, in the county of Henrico and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clamps for the Binders of Cigar-Bunches; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will Io enable others skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in I5 clamps for holding the binders of cigars while the bunch is being rolled.
The invention consists in the novel construc-v tion and combination of parts, hereinafter fully described and claimed.
2o In the accompanying drawings: Figure lis a perspective view of a table constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross section of the sliding clamp.
z 5 In the said drawings the reference numeral l designates a rectangular top, provided with legs 2, and forming a support for the horizontally slidable table hereinafter described.
Near its center this top is provided with an inclined board or plate 3 secured thereto so as to be stationary. A'short distance in front of this near its center the top of this table is provided with an inclined board or plate 3,
secured to said top so as to be stationary thereon. A short distance in front of this board are two parallel guide-strips 4 4, having grooves 5, in their inner faces, in which fit tongues 6, on a sliding clamping table 7,
the under side of which is provided with a screw-eye or ring 8, which Works in a slot 8 in the top 1. Connected with this screw-eye is one end of a coiled spring 9, the other end of which is secured to the said top, a groove being formed in the under side of the top to receive said spring. Also connected with said screw-eye or ring is a cord 10, which passes over a pulley connected with the top and leads to a treadle 12, pivoted to lugs 13, secured to the ioor. An apron 14. is secured to 5o said clamp by which the operation of rolling the bunch is facilitated. This, however, may be dispensed with, if desired.
A slot 14, is formed in the table between the clamping table and the stationary plate, forvthe escape of dust, dirt, and small pieces oftobacco."
In the ordinary manner of making cigar bunches, a leaf to form a binder is placed upon the table and the outer edge thereof held in contact therewith by one of the in- 6o gers of the left hand of the cigar maker, so as to prevent it from moving or slipping on the table. With his right hand the maker places the filler on the leaf and rolls the same away from him, whereby the binder envelops the filler, when he releases the edge held by his left hand, and then proceeds to roll the bunch thus made into proper shape and density. By my invention the outer edge of the binder is clamped between the slide 7 7o and table 3, thus allowing the maker to use both'hands in forming the bunch. Inl operation the filler is placed upon the binder and the free edge of the latter is caught by the fingers and turned up around the filler, and 7.5 then rolled toward the clamped edge when the filler will be enveloped by the binder. Whenthe bunch reaches the end. of the slide or table the treadle is released, releasing the edge of the binder, and the bunch is then 8o rolled up on the inclined plate, where it is subjected to further rolling and pressing to form it into the proper shape and thickness.
The object of the apron is to aid inthe operation of rolling the binder around the filler, 8 5 in the manner well known to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. This apron is not essential, however, and may be dispensed with if desired.
The operation of making cigarettes is the 9o same except that paper is employed instead of a binder leaf.
Having thus described my invention,what I claim is 1. The combination with the support con- 95 sisting of the slotted top andthe legs, of the stationary plate securedto said top and the horizontally movable spring actuated table, substantially as described.
2. The combination with the slotted top and Ioo the stationary plate, of the guide-bars havin g grooves in their inner faces, the sliding table having tongues, and provided with a screweye or ring working in said slot, the coiled Spring connected with the clamp and table top, the pulley and treadle and the cord, sub` stantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as myown Ihave hereunto aixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PHILIP WHITLOCK.
