$PEGIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 655,634, dated August 7, 1900. Application filed M y 3, 1900. Serial No. 15,362. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, PETER J. LESCHANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Rochester, county of Monroe, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Machine for Making Cigarettes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in machines for making cigarettes of the class designed to be carried in the pocket; and the objects of my improvements are to provide a machine of such class small in size and light in weight and conveniently adapted to be carried in the pocket and which will operate without the use of a roller and arranged to pack the tobacco closely and loosely, as may be desired, and wrap'it tightly or loosely, as may be desired. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whioh- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the entire machine opened. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the machine opened, shown with the apron drawn across the cylindrical cavity and indented therein and some tobacco in place upon the paper in which it is to be wrapped. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the machine closed, with the tobacco inclosed in one end of the paper and arranged to be wrapped; and Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the machine closed, the apron having been withdrawn and a wrapper drawn in and showing the completed cigarette in the machine.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throu ghout the several views. 7
In the construction of the apparatus I employ at least two sections or segments of cylinders a and b, adapted to turn about a common axis of rotation. If a cylinder closed at the ends had removed therefrom a section of its circumference, leaving the heads or ends intact, the part remaining after removing the section and discarding it would be substantially the part employed in my construction. These parts or segments may be constructed of wood or tin or other suitable metal or material and they may be of equal size or unequal size. Preferably the segment Ct is of smaller dimensions than the segment '1). The
segment a being placed within the segment b, they are secured by the pins 0 passing through the ends or heads of the segments. I have found by experimental use that eyelets form a suitable pin c. The pins cact as hinges, upon which the segments turn. The pins 0 preferably are placed not at the center of the of the center adjacent to the opening when the segments are turned so as to present the open cavity, as shown in Fig. 1. The pins 0, however, preferably pass through the center of the heads or ends of the segment a. The wing or lug a upon the segment a and the wing or lug b upon the segment 1) form a convenient projection by which to turn the segments upon the hinges c, and thus open and close the apparatus, and also to serve the tobacco in position when it is placed within the segment a, as hereinafter explained.
The apron d, which may be composed of rubber, cloth, or other flexible material, is secured to the segment 0., preferably near the base of the lug a. It may be secured to the inner face of the segment or the outer face. By the inner face 1 mean the portion which will be within the segment when the machine is closed. The free end of the apron (Z is preferably rigidly hemmed or has attached and secured thereto a piece of wood or metal, (denoted by e in the drawings.) The wood or metal hem e forms a convenient handle for grasping the apron and withdrawing it from the closed machine, as hereinafter explained, and it also serves as a roller upon which the apron 01 may be wound in a compact and suitable shape to be placed within the segment a when the apparatus is not in use. F represents a portion of paper employed in wrapping the tobacco to form a cigarette, and g represents a portion of tobacco.
In operation the segmentsor half-cylinders are turned on the pins or hinges 0 until the apparatus is opened. The cavity of the segment a is then exposed. The apron d being drawn partially across the cavity, as in Fig. 2, and the hem or handle e being on one side of the cavity and the balance of the apron on the other side, the portion of the apron restin g above the cavity is depressed iutothe cavity, and the tobacco g is then placed in the cavity on top of that portion of the apron in the cavity, and the tobacco being in place in ends of the segment I), but rather to that side the cavity the segments are turned until the apparatus is closed or assumes a cylindrical form. The tobacco being thus compressed and shaped by the revolution and closing of the segments and being now held-jointly by the segments a and Z) in a cylindrical shape, the apparatus is partially opened or the segnients turned slightly, and one edge of paper f, to be used in wrapping the tobacco, is placed Within the cylindrical cavity and adjacent to the tobacco, as in Fig. 3. The segments are then closed and the lugs a and I) held in contact with sufficient force to-prevent the tobacco from being removed and 'yet not so closely as to prevent the apron d from being drawn through the cylindrical cavity and around the tobacco by means of the handle 6. The operation involved in drawing the apron 01 through the cylindrical cavity by means of the handle e imparts a rolling motion to the tobacco and, the paper fand the apron d having been thus drawn through the cylindrical cavity, as in Fig. 4, results in rolling the tobacco in the paper and the paper around the tobacco, forming the completed cigarette. (Shown in Fig. 4;.) In proportion as force is exerted upon the apron d in the act of drawing it through the cylindrical cavity, as above, and in proportion as force is exerted in holding the segments closed or the lugs a in contact in the operation the tobacco will be compressed and the paper wrapped tightly about it. If it is desired to produce a looselywrapped cigarette, the lugs a and b are to be held less rigidly in contact and less force employed in drawing the apron d through the cylindrical cavity and around the tobacco.
WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a pocket cigarette-machine, the combination of a segment of a hollow cylinder turning within a larger segment of a hollow cylinder upon a common hinge which is substantially the axis of the cylindrical segments, and an apron secured to the smaller and inner segment.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
PETER J. LESCHANDER.
