HARRY DALTON, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 774,648, dated November 8, 1904. A li ati n filed January 28, 1904. Serial No. 190,958. (No model.)
To all whom zit puny concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY M. DALTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at (Jincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Compressing and Opening Cigar-Molds; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in cigar-molds, and particularly to the means for raising and lowering the upper section thereof and bringing it down with pressure on its contents.
The special object of my said invention is to produce suitable clamping devices adapted to be applied to the ends of the mold and which when simultaneously operated will raise or lower the upper section of said mold in such a manner as to always insure a substantially parallel relation between the two sections, thus obviating the danger of breaking the upper or lower sections or the contents of the mold,which often occurs when the upper section is permitted to wabble or one end is raised more quickly than the other.
A further object of my invention is to so construct the clamping devices as to be capable of locking said mold when closed.
In order that my invention may be more thoroughly understood, I have clearly and fully described and illustrated the same in the annexed specification and drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an end view of a moldwith my improved clamping device applied thereto and showing the upper section in a raised position. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1, but showing the mold closed. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line a; 11:, Fig. 1. Figs. at, 5, 6, and 7- are perspective views of the several parts of my improved device.
In the several views like letters of reference designate similar parts of my improved construction.
A and B in the drawings represent, respectively, the upper and lower sections of the cigar-mold.
C is a plate, preferably of metal, secured in any suitable manner, asc c, to the end of the upper section-A of the mold and is provided with a projection C, having its vertical sides straight and parallel. D is a plate, also preferably of metal, secured by any suitable means dd to the end of thelowersection Band is provided with a cut-away portion D, corresponding in shape and size to said projection C on said plate O. As will be hereinafter seen,the sides of this cut-away portion D'operate as guides for the said projection 0 upon the rise and descent thereof. E isaleverful crumed on a projection D on said plate D and is retained in position by asplit ring F, adapted to rest in an annular groove (Z around said projection D Said leverE is provided with an enlarged portion E, in which is located a slot E open at one end and cccentrically disposed to the'point of pivoting of said lever. C is a pin on said plate C and is adapted to work in said slot E whereby as the lever is operated it is evident that said pin will be moved toward or away from the point of pivoting of said lever, thus raising or lowering the upper section A. It will be seen that during the movement either of raising or lowering effected by the lever the upper section is guided throughout by the engagement of the projection C with the recess or cut-away portion D, the latter forminga guideway for the former. D is a pin on said plate D and operates as a stop for said lever E; but it should be noted that said lever is permitted to move far enough to free said projection C? from said slot E so that the upper section A maybe removed to give access to said lower section B.
Bearing in mind that both ends of the mold are to be provided with this device and that both of said devices are to be simultaneously operated, the various stages of such operation and the results thereof are obvious and are as follows: The mold having been filled, the upper section A is placed in position for descent with pressure upon the section B-that is, the projection C on section A is placed in the cutaway portion D in the plate D, secured to the lower section B, with the pin 0 resting upon the enlarged portion E of said lever E, just in the entrance to the slot E, as shown in Fig. 1. The lever is then lifted, whereupon the outer wall of said slot E is brought to bear upon the pin C thus forcing it toward the point of pivoting of said lever E, thereby forcing said projection C farther into said cut-away portion D, the sides of which, it is apparent, guide said projection in its descent, thus preventing the section A from wabbling. 1 The movement of the lever is continued in a this direction until the pin C reaches the end ofsaid slot E and the section Ahas been tightly forced down upon the section B, in which position it may be retained as long as desired, since said eccentric slot E operates as a lock to hold said pin G in its lowered position, as shown in Fig. 2. When it is desired to open the mold, the movement of said lever E is reversed, whereupon the lower wall of said slot E coming in contact with said pin C will force the same upward, thereby raising the upper section A of said mold. lVhen the movement of the lever in this direction has t been checked by the pin D, said section A may be removed and the cigars taken from the lower section B. l
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A clamping and locking device for cigarmolds comprising two separate plates each having provisions for attaching it to one part of the mold, one of said plates having a pro jection having parallel sides extending in the direction of the other part of the mold and the other plate, and the other plate having a cutaway portion corresponding in size and shape to said projection, forming a guideway there for, a lever fulcrumed on the plate having the cut-away portion, said lever having a slot eccentrically disposed to its point of pivoting, the said projection of the other part being provided with a pin to work in said slot in said lever, whereby the moving plate is guided in a straight line when moved by said lever, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof Iafiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
HARRY M. DALTON.
