Definitions

  • the invention relates to improvements in cigarette making machines and particularly is directed to a device for conveying and distributing of cut tobacco.
  • the disadvantages of ⁇ all of these known arrangements are eliminated by providing an oscillating conveyor which ⁇ at the same time operates as a tobacco distributor, in that the cut tobacco, which is taken from a storage container or the like by a single conveyor belt is loosened by this oscillating distributor and then is distributed to a plurality of deposit points from which the properly treated and loosened tobacco is conveyed to the cigarette making machines by means of simple, for instance, pneumatically operated conveyor means.
  • FIG. l illustrates a longitudinal section of a device in which the vibrating distributor is used for supplying ten cigarette making machines with cut tobacco
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional View along the line Il-II of Fig. l
  • Figure 3 is a top elevational View of a fragmentary portion of the reciprocating'frame and showing the control means for actuating said frame.
  • the cut tobacco 1 is discharged by a supply belt 2 upon an endless distributing belt 3, which moves in the direction of the arrow 3', and from the discharge end of this belt 3, the cut tobacco is rained in the form of a thin layer on to a vibrating distributor 4 arranged below said belt 3.
  • the distributing belt 3 is mounted in a frame 5, as shown particularly in Fig. 2.
  • This frame 5 is supported by means of pairs of traction rollers 6, 6 upon a pair of spaced horizontally positioned rail 7, and is moved by a well-known drive as shown in Fig. 3 back and forth along the rail 7, so that the discharge throat formed at one end 8 of the frame 5 between the end roller 3a and the end of the frame 5 is able to move fw 2,895,566 Patented Sept.
  • the mentioned rotary rake 9 is rotatively supported in walls 10 and 10a which are secured to the sides of the frame 5 and extend downwardly therefrom. Obviously, when the frame 5 is moved back and forth along the rail 7, the rake 9 is likewise moved back yand forth over the upper surface of the vibrating distributor 4.
  • the arrangement is such that when the frame 5, as viewed in Fig. l, moves to the left, that then the rotary rake 9 rotates counterclockwise, and when the frame 5 moves toward the right, the rotary rake 9 will be rotated clockwise.
  • the control of the movement of the roller supported frame, first in one direction and then in the other direction, and also the controlof the rotary rake 9, takes place by wellknown control devices consisting, yfor instance, of stopoperated limit switches, or the like.
  • a reversible electric motor 2S is mounted on the frame 7 by a suitable bracket (Fig. 3) and has its armature shaft provided with a sprocket wheel 28 in driving engagement with an endless sprocket chain 29.
  • Shiftable sprocket wheels 30 and 32 are mounted on the respective shafts which carry the traction Wheels 6 and a sprocket wheel 31 is mounted on the shaft of the rotary rake 9.
  • the sprocket chain 29 is trained over said sprocket wheels to rotate their respective shafts simultaneously in the same direction.
  • Limit switches 33 and 34 are mounted adjacentthe ends of the frame 7 and have projecting actuators which project into the path of the reciprocating frame 5.
  • the vibrating distributor comprises a frame oscillatably supported by means of oscillatable metallic supports 11 upon a stationary horizontal frame 12.
  • An electric motor 13 transmits vibrations to the vibrat ing distributor 4 by means of a crank drive 14, the frequency of which is so selected that the cut tobacco, which has been rained onto the distributor 4, is subjected to very short back and forth movements, which have the result that on one hand the tobacco is loosened, and on the other hand is caused to slide easily along the slightly curved surfaces 15', arranged at the bottom of the distributor, so that the cut tobacco is conducted by these slightly curved surfaces 15 into the vertical discharge conduits 15 which likewise perform a vibrating movement.
  • the vibrating distributor 4 is on all sides surrounded by a wall 16 which prevents a loss of cut tobacco and insures the maintenance of a predetermined height of tobacco layer above the distributor surface.
  • An increase in the height of the tobacco layer will then be noticed when after the iilling of the distributor of the cigarette making machine a Well known electromagnetic device 17 becomes effective which operates a closure member, such as a flap 18 and closes the vertical supply conduit 19. This may happen sometimes simultaneously at a plurality of supply conduits 19.
  • the cut tobacco will accumulate above the discharge aperture of the discharge conduits 15, as indicated in Fig. 2 at 20.
  • An increase in the height above a predetermined dimension will be prevented according to the present invention by the rotary rake 9, which owing to the back and forth movement of the frame 5, distributes any increase in the height of the tobacco over the entire surface of ⁇ the vibrating distributor 4.
  • the cut tobacco may ⁇ move downwardly and willdrop into individual ⁇ casings 23 and onto the surface of a toothed roller 21 therein, which moves the cut tobacco toward a beater ⁇ roller 22, from the latter of which the tobacco drops into the lower nozzle-shape funnel portions of thecasing 23. From here, the cut tobacco is moved pneumaticaly by individual pipe lines 27 to the cigarette making machines.
  • the vibrating distributor 4 is provided with a hood or a dust cover 24, made preferably ⁇ of a transparent material, for instance, Plexiglas; Any dust which is created as a result of the vibration will be removed by a suitable suction line 25.
  • a device for conveying and distributing cut tobacco to a plurality of cigarette making machines comprising a movable horizontal frame, traction rollers attachedto said frame, means forming ⁇ a stationary horizontal support upon which said traction rollers are adapted to roll for moving said movable horizontal frame back and forth relatively to said horizontal support, a discharge member on one end of said horizontally movable frame having a discharge throat, an endless distributing belt mounted for horizontal movement in said frame and adapted to discharge cut tobacco deposited upon said belt at a discharge throat formed at one end of said frame, a rotatable rake supported in said movable horizontal frame below the discharge end of said endless distributing belt in said movable horizontal frame, a vibrating tobacco distributor spaced below said stationary horizontal support to receive the tobacco discharged by said distributingbelt in said frame, said vibrating distributor being constructed and arrangedl to feed cut tobacco received from said distributing beltsimultaneously to a plurality of downwardly extending discharge conduits, each of which is associated with a cigarette making
