Abstract
682,686. Cigarette-making machines. MOLINS; D. W., RUAU, F. F., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. Nov. 2, 1950 [Nov. 4, 1949], No. 28315/49. Class 130. A continuous tobacco filler is formed by showering tobacco onto a moving surface to form thereon a stream comparable in cross-sectional size with a cigarette rod filler, and thereafter transferring the stream to a faster-moving conveyer by positively engaging and accelerating successive portions of the slower-moving stream of tobacco. As applied to the apparatus of Specification 646,746, in which tobacco showered from a hopper 1 is collected on a travelling surface as a stream and is passed thereon through a confining passage 3 and delivered to a paper web 4 which moves at a slower speed than the surface, the apparatus is modified in that, to form a more uniform initial stream, the portion of the surface which actually receives the tobacco shower is constructed as a separate conveyer 2 moving more slowly (e.g. at the same rate as the web 4) than the main surface 8, the tobacco stream being accelerated on passing from the member 2 to the member 8 by means such as a wheel 14 with rings of sprocket teeth 15, or optionally staggered rings of radially extending pins, which positively engage successive stream portions. As shown, the members 2, 8 are endless canvas or cotton bands. A bridge 7 is provided between them, and, to form a recess to co-act with the wheel 14, the band 8 initially slopes upward from a receiving position slightly below the delivery part of the band 2. Piano wire or other cantilever springs 16 acting on each side of each ring of teeth 15 press the tobacco stream onto the bands 2, 8 during transference therebetween. The wheel 14 rotates at such a speed that the ends of the teeth 15 move at about the same speed as the band 8. Side guides 13 for the tobacco stream are provided. These guides are continuations of the side walls of the passage 3 and may be of equal spacing therewith, in which case the wheel 14 may have three toothed or like rings; or, as shown, may have bevels 13c so that the portion of the guides upstream of the wheel 14 are of wider spacing than the side walls of the passage 3 and of the same spacing as the side walls of a trough 5 in which the band 2 runs. Specification 445,044 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.
