Ntra TATES G. ALBERT REINIGER, OF STUTTGART, VRTEMBERG.
IMPROVEMENT IN ClGAR-IVIACHINES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,217, dated May 29, 1866.
To att whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, G. ALBERT REINIGER, of Stuttgart, in the Kingdom of Wrtemberg, have invented a new and Improved Machine for Putting on the Vrappei-s lot' Cigars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of .this specification, in which- Figure .l represents a longitudinal vertical section of this invention, taken in the plane indicated by the line w x, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view ofthe same.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
This invention relates to certain improvements in that class of machines on which a patent was granted to me October 29, 1861..
The original machine consists in the conibination of two rollers, a flexible apron, and a fixed table, whereby the wrapper is rolled round the bunch of' tobacco of which the body of the cigar is made. In the new machine suitable troughs are arranged on the sides of the fixed table, one to hold the fillers and the other the wrappers, and a separate compartment may be made in one of these boxes to receive the ready-made cigars. The apron, which in the original machine was made adjustable by a ratchet-wheel and pawl, is now adjustable by a sliding screw-clamp, and 'one of the rollers used in the original machines for rolling the wrapper on the iller is dispensed with.
A represents a curved or segmental table, made of cast-iron or any other suitable inaterial, and supported by arms B, which are firmly secured to the main frame G, and which extend down far enough to form the bearings for a rock-shaft, D, the center of which coincides with the center of the segmental table A.
From the rock-shaftD extends aradiusbar, E, the forked end of which forms the bearings for a roller, a, which, in combination with the flexible apron b, forms the principal working parts of this machine.
The apron, which is made of strong canvas or other suitable material, is iirmly clamped to one end of the curved table A, and its other end is drawn over a guide-bar, c, and secured in an adjustable screw-clamp, d. Said guidebar is fastened between two standards, e, which rise from the ends of the arms B, supporting the curved table A, and from it extends a fixed apron,f, placed in a downwardly-inclined position, and provided with a lug, g, which is bored ont to receive the regulating-screw h. This screw is tapped in a lug, i, rising from the screw/'clamp d, so that by turning it in one direction the icxible apron b is shortened, and by turning it in the opposite direction said apron is lengthened.
From the rock-shaft D extends an arm, F, which connects by a shackle-bar, G, with a treadle, H, so that by stepping on said treadle the roller a can be made to sweep over the curved surface of the table A. This surface is provided with a depression, k, at one end, deep enough to receive the filler, and at its opposite end a pair of spring hooks, j, are attached, intended to receive the cigar after the wrapper has been applied.
The operation is as follows: yThe roller a is brought over the depression, k, and the iexible apron is forced down into said depression, so that a loop or bight is formed capable of receiving the ller or body ot' a cigar to which the wrapper is to be applied. Into this loop a iiller is placed, the wrapper is spread upon the table A, and by stepping on the treadle H the roller a is made to sweep over the table. By the action of said roller on the apron a rolling motion is imparted to the ller, and the wrapper is wound round it the same as by hand-labor. The relative position ofthe apron, roller, and iller during this operation is shown in red outlines in Fig. 1. When the roller has arrived at about the middle of the table A a small strip of paper may be applied to cover the cigar, if desired. By the action of the roller the covered cigar is forced into the springhooks j, which open to receive the same, and which are so arranged that they will readily accommodate themselves to cigars of different sizes.
I claiml as new and desire to secure by Letand operating substantially as and for the puti ters Patentpose specied.
