Patented Sept. 4, 1934 Thlis invention: relatesrto improved. cut-off mechanism for ,cig'arette-rod-forming machines. A primary object of the invention .is to attain higher speed'of severingand thereby increase the output of the cigarette making machine as a whole. a In severing cigarette-rods or the like, it is necessaryfforth'e knife to movefnot only across the length of 'thecigarette-r'od or the like,'but"also longitudinally'withithatrod, because the rod is beingfcontinuoiusly fed'forwards, and if the knife did: not move longitudinally with it as it was passing across it, there would not be a clean cut. i In severing mechanism, as heretofore constructed; it has been found that, owing to the complicated nature of themechanismemployed for moving the knifazit' is impossible to. workthe severing mechanismasfast as the cigaretteerod or' the like oould'bej'niade and fed forwards. Conseguent1y,- themed-making mechanism has had to be slowed down to bring'it into accord with the relatively limitedv capabilities, of the severing mechanism. J v
According to the primary featureof the present inventionpthere' is provided a cigarette-rod or like severingrnecha'nism comprising aknife which iswanchoredtc turn withaY-carrier rotatable in the direction to carry the knife edge across the cigarette-rod or the like, ,and is controlled by means which oscillate it relatively to-the carrier,
inthe'dii'ection along the length of the cigaretterodjo'r the like. Thus, the 's'aidcarrier is not reciprocated orijoscillated, which means that the 7 parts which partake of this movement are rela-. "'35 tite'ly light; and, consequently, offer. but little inertia to reversals 01111011011. Hence, the aforesaidhigher-ispeed isobtainahle. .'The knife may: be anchored .to thecarrier in Y various Ways, but it-is preferred to hinge it, and '40 i'sfparticularly advantageous, not only because 1 1 56 it reduces the number of rotaryparts which requireto be balanced, butalsobecause ifapplied} toa' kriife which-is hinged at one end; and has it's ci i ttin edge the'othei end, fit enables-the reg qiiisit movement-entire cutting edge longitudinallyof"the'cigarette rod to" be obtained with.-

see Figs. 3 and 4, for holding the knife blade in set position against the tendency of displacement by the centrifugal force and the reaction forces incident to severing the cigarette rod.
Preferably, the cut-off mechanism is provided with suitable whetting or grinding means, i. e., sharpening means, operative automatically upon the rotation of the knife blade. Such sharpening element is referred to herein as a disc, irrespective of its sharpening and/or grinding and/or whetting function and the material and shape employed for the same. Such disc is preferably positioned relative to the path of the severing edge 52 of the knife blade 49 to effect the desired action without requiring movement of the disc in the direction of its axis, but preferably permitting rotation of the disc about its axis, effected either idly upon rotative engagement of the severing edge therewith or by positive drive if preferred.
As one form of mounting of such disc, see Fig. 9, disc 61 is universally mounted for all possible positions of the plane of its effective face and for vertical height and rotary adjustment about the vertical and the horizontal, and as shown comprises the bearing 62 rotatively receiving a suitable stud at one end of which the disc 61 is mounted concentrically with the axis of such stud, such stud being adjustably axially set by the screw-threaded stud 63 having the manipulating head 64, the screw-threading being received within suitable threading on the inner face of the bearing 62, the bearing 62 and its post 65 being pivotally mounted on the vertical, supporting post 66. The extent of pivotal adjustment of the bearing 62 controlled by the set screw 6'7, the threading of the shank of which meshes with the threaded, tapped opening 68 in the post 66. The post 66 is adjustable to vertical height by means of a suitable gear having the indicated manipulating head 69, the gear meshing with the circular rack gear teeth 70, and the rotative adjustment of the post 66 about the vertical being had by the worm 7 1, rotatively mounted in the supporting hollow post 72, the worm being adjusted by its indicated manipulating head '73.
The post 72 is mounted on any suitable support, v
such as on the bed ll of the cigarette machine proper, as also appears from Fig. 10.
The worm '71 meshes with vertically extending teeth on the post 66, the series of teeth extending annularly about the post 66, and of suificient vertical extension to provide for the required vertical movement of the post 66 in the vertical adjustment of the same by the adjusting head 69, as aforesaid.
From the above, it will be apparent that the speed of the severing means provided by my'invention is at all times, when properly initially set, in accurate synchronism with the rod-forming mechanism and other actuated parts of the cigarette making machine proper, and insures proper functioning of my cut-off mechanism at any desired increased speed at which the rodforming mechanism and associated parts of the cigarette making machine may be effectively operated. At all speeds of operation of my cut-off mechanism, the coacting parts, to wit, the rotating knife blade-and the ledger plate are reciprocated at the stage of severing in the direction and at substantially at the same rate of forward travel of the cigarette rod, the knife head and its supporting plate, as well as the ledger plate being reciprocated in the opposite direction during a non-severing stage.
It will be further apparent that but little inertia arises in the movement of the reciprocated parts, and of a magnitude which does not affect the proper co-relation of the actuated parts for the full range of speed at which the rod-forming mechanism and the associated parts of the cigarette machine proper can be effectively operated.
