CIGARETTE-CUTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 689,671, dated December 24, 1901. Application filed June 13,1901. $er ial No. 64,410. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FELIX PEREZ HERMIDA, a citizen of Cuba, and a resident of San Juan, Porto Rico, have invented a new and Improved Cigarette-Cutter, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in machines for cutting cigarettes from the long lengths received from the cigarette-forming machine; and the object is to provide a cuttenso constructed as to travel with the movement of the cigarette length leading from the forming-machine, thus making a straight out Without danger of tearing the paper.
I will describe a cigarette-cutter embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.
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 figures.
I Figure 1 is a plan View of a cigarette-cutter embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 00 w of Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the bed-plate of the machine, upon which a carriage 2 is mounted to slide. Supported by an arm 3, extended upward from the carriage,
is a tube 4 for receiving the cigarette from the v forming-machine, and also a discharge-tube 5. The tube 4 is made funnel-shaped or flaring at the end, so as to insure the entrance of the cigarette. Also mounted'on the carriage 3 5 is a cutting-disk 6. This cutting-disk, as
here shown, has bearings in uprights 7, attached to aslide-plate 8, adjustable on a block 9, supported on a rock-shaft 10, having bearings in brackets 11, attached to the carriage.
0 The cutting-disk is adjustable toward and from the tubes 4 and 5 by means of a screw 12, engaging in a downwardly-extended portion 13 of the plate Sand passing through a tapped opening in the block 9. From the block 9 a plate 14 extends rearward, and has an upwardly-extended portion 15, designed to be engaged by a cam 16, mounted on a main shaft 17. The part of the cam 16 designed to engamith the portion 15 of the 5 0 rearwardly-extended plate is made in the form of a roller 18. This may be made of hardened steel, so that the wear will be very slight.
On the main shaft 17 is a driving-pulley 19, and on the end of said shaft is a bevel-gear 20, meshing with a gear-wheel 21 on a counter-shaft 22, and on the forward end of this counter-shaft'is a crank-disk 23, to the crankpin of which. is connected one end of a pitman 24. The other end of the pitman is connected to the carriage 2. From a post 25 on the block 9 a spring 26 extends to a connection with the'post 27, extended upward from the base of the/machine.
In operation as the formed cigarette length is fed from the formingmachine into the tube 4 the carriage carrying the cutter will be moved toward the forming-machine by means of the pitman 24. When the full length of the cigarette has been fed into the cuttingmachine, the cam 16 will cause a rocking of the block 9 to move the cutter into engagement with the cigarette andcut through the same, the cutting-disk being kept in rotation by means of a band engaging with a pulley 28 on the shaft 29 of the cutter. While thus cutting the cigarette thecutting-disk will be moved with the carriage away from the form= ing-machine and at the same rate of speed that the cigarette is fed from the formingmachine. After cutting through the cigarette the spring 26 will return the cutter to its rearward position.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent 1. A cigarette-cutter, comprising a sliding carriage, a rock-shaft on the carriage, a plate adjustable transversely of the rock-shaft, a screw for causing the adjustment of the plate, a rotary cutter carried on the plate, a camplate extended from the rock-shaft, and a cam for engaging with the cam-plate.
2. A cigarette-cutter, comprising a sliding carriage, a rock-shaft on the carriage, a plate adjustable transversely of the rock-shaft, means for causing the adjustment of the plate, a rotary cutter carried on the plate, a cam for causing a swinging movement of said cutter in one direction, and a spring for swinging it in the opposite direction.
3. A cigarette-cutter, comprisinga sliding carriage, a rock-shaft on the carriage, a plate In testimony whereof I have signed my adjustable transversely of the rock-shaft, a name to this specification in the presence of lo rotary cutter carried by said plate, a camtwo subscribing witnesses.
