UNTTED STATES PATENT @Erica JACOB VEITH, OF KANSAS CITY, KANSAS.
POCKET ClGARETTE-FORMER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 603,714, dated May 10, 189B.
Application filed March 16, 1897. Serial No. 627,822. [No model.)
To @ZZ 11171/0711/ t may concern:
Be it known that I, JACOB VEITH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Wyandotte and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Pocket Cigarette-Former, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cigarette-forming devices adapted to be carried in the pocket and to be manipulated to form a cigarette when desired by the consumer, the object in view being to provide a former of the class named whereby long-cut, fine plug-cut, or what is known in the tobacco trade as finecut (in contradistinction to granulated or short-cut) tobacco may be manipulated in the formation of cigarettes, the disadvantage incident to the use of granulated or shortcuttobacco being that it cannot be interleafed, and hence the ends of the cigarette paper or wrapper must be twisted or pasted in order to prevent tobacco from escaping. The above-mentionediine-cut or regular cigarette tobacco is not adapted for use in connection with those forms of pocket cigaretteformers heretofore in use for the reason that no means have heretofore been devised for introducing the tobacco evenly and with facility into the end of a tube upon which the cigarette-wrapper has been previously arranged, and it is the object of my invention to so construct the former that tobacco of the class named may be fed into the tube with the same facility as tobacco of other kinds, and, therefore, whereby the disadvantages incident to the use of short tobacco may be avoided.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cigarette-former constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a central sectional view of the same, showing the packerin operative position. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the displacer in operative position. packer and displacer'arranged in the tube for transportation. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the barbed or operative end of the packer.
Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the Similar numerals of reference indicate correspondingparts in all the iigu res of the drawings.
l designates a tube forming the body portion of the former, said tube terminating at one end in a funnel or hopper 2, the tobacco which is to be used in the construction of the cigarette Vbeing introduced into the-hopper after a wrapper, as a cigarette-paper or a tobacco-leaf, has been arranged eXteriorly upon the tube.
The hopper is provided in one side with a channel 3, extending from the upper edge to the point of junction with the tube, said channel being adapted for the reception of the packing-rod 4, which is provided with a transversely-spread or bifurcated or barbed operating extremity, (shown at 5.) After the tobacco has been arranged in the hopper the operative end ofthe packeris inserted into the channel and reciprocated to catch the ber at a point contiguous to the upper end of the tube and gradually work it into the tube from a point contiguous to the bottom of the hopper. It will be seen that no pressure is applied to the portion of the tobacco in the upper part of the hopper. The feeding of the tobacco is accomplished wholly from a point near the bottom of the hopper or at the upper end of the tube.
After the tube has been properly filled with tobacco the wrapper is slipped a'short distance from the tube-say about one-fourth of its length-when the displacer 6 is introduced through the hopper into the upper end of the tube and pressure is applied to the tobacco within the tube to discharge it therefrom, the discharge of the tobacco being accompanied by the complete removal of the wrapper from the tube and the completion of the cigarette. The extremity of the packer is provided with a flattened head 7, corresponding approximately in diameter with the interior of the tube.
The upper or handle portions of both the packer and the displacer are looped to form IOO dles in the hopper and in the contiguous upper end of the tube, in which condition the device may be carried readily in the vestpocket.
By employing a Wrapper of tobacco-leaf an all-tobacco cigarette maybe formed by the device hereinbefore described, it being obvious that the size of the tube upon which the wrapper is rolled may be varied to suit the desired size of the product.
It will be understood that in practice various changes in the forni, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- A cigarette-former having a tube terminating at one end in a communicating axiallyalined hopper, of which the wall is outwardly bulged or offset to form a narrow channel 3 extending from the outer edge of the hopper to and communicating with the contiguous end of the tube and constituting a seat or guide for a packing-tool, whereby the tool operates exteriorly of the interior contour of the hopper, and projects terminally into the upper end of the tube, substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JACOB VEITH.
