MACHINE FOR UNDOING CIGARETTES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 556,595, dated March 17, 1896. Application filed June 15, 1895. Serial No. 552,902. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J osn MARCELINO UR- GELLES, acitizen of the United States, at present residing in Guayaquil, Ecuador, have in vented a new and Improved Machine for Undoing Cigarettes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
from the tobacco of defective cigarettes, and' it may be here observed that with the usual cigarette-machines a comparatively high percentage of defective articles is produced.
The machine presently to be described is preferably employed in conjunction with a special machine for completing the separation of the wrappers from the tobacco, such separating-machine forming the subject-matter of other applications for patents filed by me June 15,1895, Serial Nos. 552,903 and 552,901, respectively.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved machine. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2 and looking downwardly from said line. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line 4 4 of Fig. 2.
The machine comprises a frame A, which is provided with standards B supporting a feedhopper O. The said feed-hopper is located over a box D, which is mounted so as to be capable of reciprocating horizontally, or approximately so, the box being for this purpose provided with links E, which are pivotally connected thereto and to the brackets A rising from the frame A. The bottom of the boxD is made with an irregular or stepped surface, as will be seen best in Fig. 1, and motion is imparted to the said box through the medium of the downward extension F, to which is secured a connecting-rod G, eccentrically connected to a disk H on a horizontal cuttershaft I.
The shaft I carries a cutter consisting of a series of blades J extending longitudinally of the shaft, and having their outer edges serrated after the fashion of a saw, and said serrations are adaped to cooperate with the stationary surface of a fixed blade K, secured to the frame A. On the shaft I is also secured a pulley L to receive a driving cord or belt.
It is desirable that the cigarettes be extended transversely when they fall from the box D and upon the saw-blade K, so that the teeth of said blade and the cutter-blades J will engage every part of the longitudinal length of the cigarette and effectively rip the cover. To insure this operation, I provide the bridge or bar D, which is secured to the sides and top of the box D at the discharge end thereof, and which extends transversely across the same at a distance above and beyond the bottom, which will permit the cigarettes to pass out of the box easily when extended trans versely and which will stop them when they are extended longitudinally with the box. When in this latter position the cigarettes will be gradually swung around to a transverse position bythe agitation of the box, and will thereupon pass out, as explained.
The hopper G is of a peculiar construction and comprises a front wall a and sides b, the latter being raised slightly above the front wall, as shown in Fig. 1. The rear side or wall of the hopper is provided with a partition 0, which divides the hopper into a main and auxiliary compartment, the main compartment being arranged to feed into the box D and the auxiliary compartment being closed and adapted to receive loose cigarette-wrappers and other scraps, such as are fed from a cigarette-machine, it being in conjunction with such machine that my invention is to be used.
The defective cigarettes are inserted in the hopper O and fall upon the bottom of the box D. This box, by means of the connectingrod G, receives a forward and backward reciprocating motion, and this motion, in conjunction with the particular stepped conformation of the bottom of the box, gradually feeds the cigarettes forward in regular quantities, so that the cigarettes one by one are deposited upon the stationary blade K and in the path of travel of the rotating cutterblades J, and bythe co-operation of the said blades the cigarettes are torn open, and in this condition they fall down below the cutter and may be received in a suitable receptacle. (Not shown.)
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination of the cutter, the feed device, and the movable box arranged to re ciprocate back and forth between the feed device and the cutter, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the feed device, the cutter, and the box arranged to reciprocate between the feed device and the cutter, said box being provided with a bottom having a stepped surface, substantially as described.
3. The combination of the frame, the reciprocating box, the feed-hopper above the box, the rotary cutter in advance of thebox, and an eccentric connection between the cutter and box, to impart a reciprocating motion to the latter, substantially as described.
.12. The combination of the frame, the feed device, the reciprocating box, the stationary cutter below the box and at the forward end thereof, the rotary cutter in advance of the box and in co-operative relation to the stationary cutter, and means for imparting reciprocating motion to the box, substantially as described.
5. In a cigarettecutter, the combination of a vibrating box, a saw-blade at the discharge end of said box, a cutter-blade co-operating with the saw-blade, and an obstruction at the discharge end of the box, the same being capable of preventing the discharge of the cigarettes when disposed longitudinally with the box, substantially as described.
6. In a cigarette-cutter, the combination of a vibrating box, having sides and a top, all overhanging the open discharge end of the box, a transverse bridge or bar carried by said overhanging portion, a saw-blade, and a cutter-blade, substantially as described.
7. The combination of a shaft, a knifeblade carried by and extending longitudinally with the same and having a serrated edge, a vibrating box, and a saw-blade carried below said box and juxtaposed to the knife-blade,
substantially as described.
