PASTING MECHANISM FOR ClGAR-BUNCH-ROLLING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 631,332, dated August 22, 1899.

Application filed December 2, 1897. Renewed April 20, 1899. Serial No. 713,752. (Numodeli) To all whom it' may concern:

Beit known that I, Ross M. RUSSELL, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pasting Mechanism for Cigar-Bunch-Rolling Machines, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to pasting mechanisms of cigar-bunch-rolling machines.

My object is to produce a pasting mechanism by which a uniformv quantity of paste is applied every time either to the Wrapper or to the head of the bunch, embodying a suitable reservoir, an eduction-port therefrom leading to a rotating and reciprocating "alve by which it is conducted into the valve-chamber and expressed therefrom into and through a conduit to be discharged therefrom intermittentlyin suitable quantities, as by a single drop or globule, each time the operator moves the actuating-lever, the rotation of the valve operating fo close the port opening into the valve or valve-chamber and to open the eduction-port therefrom, whereby suflicient paste is supplied for the purpose without waste and without a surplusage. I also provide an improved wrapper-nicking mechanism. It is constructed as follows, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. :l is a transverse section thereof on line a; .fr in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 'L1/y, Fig. 2, showing the discharge-port from the reservoir open. Fig. 4 is a like View showing itl closed by the rotation of the valve-plun ger. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on a diametrically opposite line to that in Fig. 3, showing the discharge-port open. Fig. 6 is a like view showing it closed and the eduction-port from the valve-chamber open. Fig. 7 is a detail illustrating the camways for rotating the valve-plunger. Fig. 8 is a plan perspective of the valve-plunger.

It is not considered necessary to illustrate an entire cigar-bunch-rolling machine, but only sufficient to illustrate the principle of the operation of my present devices, since they can be applied to any machine of that class.

A vis a suitable table, which carries the bunch rolling chamber and the Wrapperstretcher or guiding devices, being supported by the end piece 2, and 3 -is a suitable bracket thereon, upon which a standard 4 is erected to carry the paste-reservoir 5, which is a suitable vessel provided with a discharge-port 6, opening into a valve-chamber 7, in which the Valve-plunger 8 is suitably mounted to be given a combined rotary and longitudinal motion regularly or intermittently. A vibratory bar 9 is secured upon said valve, and its lower end is provided With a guide, here shown as a roller 10, in normal engagement with one of the two cams 11 and 12. A lever 13 is pivoted at 14 and connected by a rod 15 to the upper end of the bar 9, and 16 is a spring connected to said upper end. A stop 17 regulates the throw of said lever. At the proper time the operator with `a finger swings said lever into the position shown in Fig. 1 by the dotted lines, which vibrates the bar 9 to rock or semirotate the valve and at the same time forceitinwardlyin the valve-chamber through the engagement of the roller with the cam 1I. Normally a part 18 of the valve-chamber is filled with paste, which ows through the conductor 19 in the surface of the valve and which is normally in engagement with the port 6, so that the valve is normally open and the conductor also is full of paste. The conduit 20 coincides at one end with the eduction-port 21 of the valve-chamber. Thus when said valve-plunger is rotated or rocked the conductor 19 is brought to coincide with the port 2l and the inward movement of said plunger forces a modicum of paste from said lconductor into and through said conduit, to

be discharged either into the head of a bunch or onto the wrapper or onto a revolving or other header 22, to be by it applied to either the bunch or wrapper, or both. No claim is herein made for this header mechanism, as it forms a part of and is claimed in a pending application filed by me August 20, 1896, Serial No. 603,334. A rod 23 connects said leverl?) to a crank 24 upon a shaft 25, to which a vibratory arm 26 is connected, and 27 is a nicher or knife connected to said arm and which is thrown down to nick the wrapper whenever said lever is operated. The spring IOO 1G throws all of the parts back to their normal positions, the cam 12 retractingr the plunger while it is being revolved back to its normal position with the conductor in coincidence with the port 6 to receive a quantity of paste equal to the amount used. This conductor, chamber, @duction-port, and conduit are usually filled with paste all of the time, which from its sticky viscous nature will not exude when under pressure. A stop 28 regulates the normal position of Ithe lever and stops it upon its return.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a pasting mechanism, the combination with a reservoir, a valve-chamber beneath it, provided with an induction-port from said reservoir, and having a dischargeporr, a rocking plunger-valve in said chamber, provided with a longitudinal channel adapted to separately coincide With said ports, and a vibratory arm on said valve, of a pair of cams with which said arm alternately eugages, and means to vibrate said arm whereby said valve is rocked and reciprocatcd lon gitudinally.

2. A pasting mechanism comprising the combination with a header for a cigar-bunchrolling mechanism receiving the head of a bunch While the wrapper is being: applied thereto, of a paste-reservoir, a conduit leading therefrom to said header, an intermediate lengthwise-channeled plunger-valve in a chamber beneath and connected by a port to said reservoir, a vibratory arm upon said valve, and a pair of cams alternately engaged by said arm, and means to vibrate said arm whereby said valve is rocked and reciprocated lengthwise to force paste through said conduit to said header.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of November, 1897.

ROSS M. RUSSELL.

In presence of- C. W. SMITH, HOWARD P. DENIsoN.
