TOBACCO-BOOKER.

SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 622,300, dated April 4, 1899.

Application filed April 25,1898. Serial No. 678,741. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN NIcoLAs WAM- BOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sun Prairie, in the county of Dane and State of Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Rockers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in a device for booking or straightening tobacco-leaves which are to be used for Wrapping cigars.

I shall rst .describe my invention in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, in Which- Figure l is a back elevation of a tobaccobooker made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the upper part of one of the arms C, showing how lever D is attached to and worked on said arm. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view showing how arm C is adjusted for long or short leaves.

A is a convex top of a booking-table, and B its support. Pivoted to B at c are arms C C,which extend upward a short distance above the table, and each supports near its top end a lever D, having at one end an arm e, which extends across and is held down upon the table by spring s. The other end f of lever D,

' I connect by rods r to treadles T, which are attached to the lower part of support B.- To

, permit leaves of any length to be booked, I

provide for the adjustment of arms C C by slotting the back of the upper part of the table at g g and passing through said slots and through arms C bolts h, provided with thumbscrews 'a'. By loosening these thumb-screws the arms C C may be moved closer to or far-A I also prefer lto cover the arms e e with a similar material. Y

When using the hooker, the operator sits in front of the machine, with his feet on the 5o treadles T. The tobacco-leaf being ready, the operator presses one of the treadles T and lever-arm e is lifted from the table against the stress of spring s by rod r, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The end of the leaf is placed under arm e and pressure on treadle T is released. The leaf is smoothed across l the table and pressure is put upon opposite treadle T, which operates lever-arm e in the way just described.

My device can be cheaply constructed, is not easy to get out of order, and I have found from practical use that it is thoroughly efcient.

Having described my invention and the best way now known to me for carrying the l same into effect, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a tobacco-booking table, arms C attached to the back of the ta- 7o ble by bolts h, levers D mounted on said arms, said levers having projections c, springs s adapted to hold said projections down upon the leaves, and releasing-rods r attached to treadles T, substantially as andfor the pur- 7 5 JOHN NICOLAS WAMBOLD.
