Application tiledMareh28,1885. Serial No. 160,415. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERRMAN J. BAOHRAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gigar-Bunching Machines, of which the follow ing is a full and complete description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which for a part of this speeilication.
My invention relates to that class of machines used for rolling or bunching the fillers of cigars, and my object is to provide a machine capable of working long fillers; and to this end my' invention consists in certain constructions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation; Fig. 2, a plan view with the top frame and roller removed; Fig. 3 an end elevation, and Fig. 4 a transverse section, of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the gears on the rollers; Fig. 6, a detached `view ot' the band-pulley and its pawl; Fig. 7,'a sectional detail showing band-pulley and pawl the ratchet-wheel, and the gear-wheel which imparts motion to the rollers; Fig. 8, a view of a modified form of'roller; Fig. 9, a detached view of rollers and belts; Fig. l0, a plan view of one of the belts, and Fig. l1 a section through the belt.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a rectangular frame, I, of suitable dimensions, in which I mount three rollers, B C D, which are journaled in the ends of the frame, and are at one end provided with gear-wheels I J K, which mesh with and are driven by a central gear-wheel, fi, which is mounted on a shaft, T, one end of which isjournaled in the frame l and the other end in a post, L, which rises from au end projection at the bottom of the frame l. The wheel t' constitutes the drivewheel by which the rollers B C D are rotated. The rollers B C D carry one or more endless belts, M, which are sufficiently slack to form a pocket or trough between the rollers B C, as shown in Fig. 4:, into which pocket is placed the tobacco to be rolled or hunched. The binder is then slantingly placed on top of the tobacco, as shown in Fig. 1. The top of the machine is then shut down andthe wheels set in motion. To the top of the frame 1 at one side, is hinged a frame, 2, (see Figs. 3 and 4,) in which is journaled a roller, A, which has at one end a gear-wheel, G, similar to the gearwheels I .I K, and which also meshes with the illustrates the relative arrangement of the gears referred to. The roller A is vertically above the pocket or trough above referred to, and thclatter is of such depth that the roller in dotted lines in Fig. 4, and assist in rolling the same into symmetrical shape.
On the shaft T, which carries the gearwheel i, are also mounted a band pulley or 6 and 7,) and a ratchet-wheel, V, the latter andthe gear-wheel@- being rigidly mounted on the shaft to turn therewith, while the wheel W is loosely mounted and is free to turn thereon in one direction, but is held against independent rot-ation in the opposite direction by the engagement of its pawl Z with the ratchetwvheel V. Y
The belts M are of such width and thickness as may be necessary to form bunches of given length and thickness, and the machine is of such length as to carry any number of belts desired. rIlhe drawings Figs. l and 2 show three; but a greater or less number may be used according to the capacity which it is desired to give the machine. The belts M are concaved in cross-section on their outer faces, the concavity being such as will give to the bunch their inner faces to fit snugly against the ca rrying-rollers.
Fig. l() represents one of the belts separate from the rollers and stretched out to its full length. The curved lines at the ends show the concavity, and the dotted lines indicate the tlat inner face. The upper roller, A, is hollowed out or reduced at points above the belts M, the reduced parts corresponding in length and depth with the concavities in the belts, and actin conjunction therewith to roll the tobacco into bunches, as already explained. The upper frame, 2, which carries the.roller A, is hinged at 3 to the frame l, so as to be capable of being raised or turned back, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3. This is for the purpose of allowing the roller A to be wheel, IV, which carries a pawl, Z, (see Figs.`
of tobacco the desired' shape, and are flat on central gear, i, and is driven thereby. Fig. 5
will bear upon the bunch of tobacco, as sh own IOO ' frame and its roller A. rIhe end ofthe frame 1 opposite the gears is removable for the pur' pose of allowing the belts and rollers, either or both, to be taken out and replaced. It is secured to the base by screws S, which pass through an out-turned flange at the bottom and screw into the base of the frame'. By re- -moving the screws the end may be taken off.
As a means for driving the machine I show a foot-lever, 7, which is pivoted to a bracket or post, 8, and to this lever is attached one end of a cord, 9, which passes over the wheel W and carries Aat its other end a weight, 10. When the lever is depressed by the foot of the operator, the cord is drawn over the wheel, causing the latter to turn in the direction ind dicated by the arrow in Fig. 3. The wheel IV 'being locked against independent forward rotation on its vshaft by theengagement of its pawl with the ratchet-wheel V, the parts are all turned together and the wheel z' imparts ro tary motion to the rollers. \Vhen the lever 7 is released, the wheel W is turned backward A on the shaft by the action ofthe weight and cord, the pawl Z riding over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel V, and ,the lever is drawn up to its normal position ready for another operation. NVhen the operation is complete, the top frame, 2, is turned back and the roller A moved out of the way, when the partially-fin ished cigar can be taken out of the machine and anewsupply of tobacco put in for the next operation.
When more than one belt is used, the different belts may be of different thicknesses or widths,to form different-sized bunches,and the concavities in the different belts may be of different form to form diferent-shaped bunches at the same operation. A spring would evidently be the mechanical equivalent of the weight 10, and might be substituted therefor without departingfromtheinvention. So,also, a crank, to be turned by an assistant, might be substituted for the wh eel W, the lever 7, the ratchet-wheel V, and the cord and weight; but I prefer the mechanism shown and described.
Having thus described my invention, I claiml. In a cigar-bunching machine, the combi! nation of four rollers arranged around and equidistant from a central point, the upper roller being carried by a hinged frame, 2, and one or more belts passing around three of said rollers and sufficiently slack to form a trough or pocket to receive and hold the tobacco to be bunched below the fourth roller, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a cigar-bnnching machine, the combination of four rollers arranged around and equidistant from a central point, the upper yroller being carried by a hinged frame, 2, and
each having at one end a gear-wheel, one or more belts passing around three of said rollers and sufficiently slack to form a pocket or trough to receive and hold the tobacco to be bunched below the fourth roller, and a central driving-gear which engages and drives the gears of all the rollers, substantially asl and for the purpose described.
3. In a cigar-bunch-making machine, the combination of the frame l, the three rollers mounted therein and provided at one end with gears I .I K, one or more endless belts passing around said rollers and sufficiently slack to form a trough or pocket between the rollers B O to receive and hold thetobacco to be bunched, a frame, 2, hinged at one'side to theframe 1, and carrying a roller, A, with a gear, G, at one end, and a central drive-gear which meshes with all the gears and drives them, substantially as shown and described.
4. In a cigar-machine, the combination of aseries of roll'ers provided with gears at one end and carrying one or more belts, M, a central shaft, T, carryinga drive-gear, i, which meshes with the gears of all the rollers, and a band wheel, W, carrying a pawl, Z, and ratchetwheel V, with which the pawl engages, the
gear 'i and the ratchet-wheel V being rigidly secured upon the shaft, and the band-wheel Wloosely mounted thereon, a foot-lever, 7, a cord, 9, attached to said lever and passing over the wheelV, and a weight, 10, or its equivalent, attached to the cord, substantially as shown and described.
5. In a ci garlmachine, the cornbinatiomwith a series of rollers and one or more concavefaced belts carried thereby, of a main stationary frame which supports one end of said rollers and their driving-gear, and a removable frame or support for supporting the opposite ends, whereby provision is made for removnnnniu AN J.'
