CIGARBUNCHING IVIACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,892, dated January 2, 1894.

Serial No. 466,313. (No model.)

.To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SAMUEL L. JACKSON and ALEXANDER P. BRAUN, citizens of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar-Bunching Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a new and improved bunch-rolling table; and it consists in the features of construction and the combination or arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of our improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a section on line ai, fr, Fig. 2. Fig. A is a sectional elevation of the roller and axle or shaft and one of its carrying arms. Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the' same, and Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the roller axle or shaft.

Our device is adapted to be attached or set in to an ordinary table; to this end it is constructed as follows:

A represents the bed plates upon which all parts of the machine are suspended.

2 represents pendent studs projecting below the table.

3 represents an axial shaft journaled in pendants 2.

4r represents carrying arms rigidly attached to the axial shaft.

5 represents slotted guides secured to the top of the table; arms 4 project up through vid ed with a longitudinal slot a.

7 represents an axle or shaft upon which the roller 6 journals; it is cut away at each end to form a tenon lS, which lits and slides in longitudinal slots d of the carrying arms 4, thereby holding the axle or shaft against The roller 6 loosely journals upon its said axle.

8 represents set screws which tap into the axle and are turned to secure the roller in any desired adjusted position over the bunch rolling board 10. This board is rigidly attached to the table A.

the bunch is rolled; it is secured at the rear end of the bunch board by clamps 12, and at the front end by vertical clamp plates 13, 14, secured to the edge of the table.

15 represents set screws for holding clamp plate 14 up against clamp plate 13, and securing the apron 1l between them.' This provides a ready and easy means of adjusting the length of the apron.

16 represents a spring yoke the ends of which are coiled around a spool 17 the yoke projecting over and resting normally on the bunch board 10; the forward ends of the yoke are sufficiently high to be caught by the roller 6 and pushed up as the bunch is rolled. When the bunch leaves the apron it falls behind the bu-nch board, and is held down partly by the spool and bunch board, and partly by the yoke, whereby the bunch is not liable to be squeezed out of shape.

Any desired configuration of bunch roller 6 may be employed upon the axle or shaft 7.

In the practical operation of the apparatus, the table A is supported in any suitable manner in front of the operator, and the parts are adjusted to the position for use; the carrying arms 4 are drawn forward, and the apron spread over the bunch board and conforming to the surface thereof; the binder is placed on the apron in recess 18 and the filler is placed upon the binder 5 the operator takes hold of the handle 19 and quickly throws it forward binding the apron round the bunch, and rolls the wrapper around the iiller. When the roll 6 operates the yoke spring it strikes the said spring, lifts it up and drops the bunch under the spring; the handle is then retracted by the operator, the yoke spring coming back grabbing the filler and preventing its unwrapping, and the second operation is made in like manner.

llaving described our invention, whatI we claim is The combination of a table, having parallel slotted guides 5, and pendent studs 2,the shaft 3 mounted in the pendent studs beneath the table, the carrying arms l secured to the shaft, extending upward through the slotted guides, and having longitudinal slots d in their up- 11 represents the apron by means of which per end portions, the non-rotary axle or shaft IOO 7, having tenons 8 adapted to slide in the said longitudinal slots of the carrying arms, the bunehing-roller 6 loosely mounted on the non-rotary axle or shaft, the bunch-board 10 on the table between the said parallel slotted guides, and the apron l1, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands. e
