Definitions

  • This invention relates to shifting devices for cigarettes in general, and more particularly, to shifting devices which eiect axial endwise movement of cigarettes into end-to-end engagement.
  • the invention has particular applicability to the axial. shifting. of cigarettes and mouthpieceV attachments therefor, such. as filter tips, in conveying apparatus for such cigarettes.
  • a general object of the invention is to provide an improved axial shifting device for groups of cigarettes and interposed mouthpiece attachments, which will elect endto-end engagement of such cigarettes and mouthpiece attachments, the latter beinginitially in a somewhat spaced end-to-end relation.
  • A. more speciiic object of the invention is to provide an improved shifting device for cigarettes, which are conveyed in the grooves of a conveyor drum, whereby the cigarettes. are pressed endwise axially together while in the grooves of the. conveyor drum.
  • a furtherobject. of the invention is to provide an improved shiftingv device, particularly adaptable for high. speed operation, in which a pair of spaced disc rings are rotated with a grooved conveyor drum carrying cigarettes within the grooves, the disc rings being resiliently supported. by elastic means,y such as tension springs, for example, extending radially from the axis of the conveyor drum.
  • elastic means such as tension springs, for example, extending radially from the axis of the conveyor drum.
  • the inner ends of the tension springs are preferably securedr to al flange ring, secured to and movable with the rotating conveyor drum.
  • the present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the foregoing arrangement by biasing the disc rings towardl the axis of the conveyor drum by means which eX- 2,821,201 Patented Jan. 28, 1958 ICC tend radially from. theaxis, and which means are fastenedy to the ends of the. drum. Consequently, the guiding bolts used in.. the aforesaid application for guiding the. springs arerendered unnecessary.
  • a further advantage consists inl that practically the Whole radius of the conveyor drum is. available for the length of the. spring meansv employed, so that even despite thev rather high speed utilized, and the relatively light spring action, still there is suliicientv spring reaction since theV extension of thespring means. is only. a small proportion; of its. length.
  • a preferred modiiicati'on of the present'invention pro.- videsthat the guiding plates comprise twov disc rings disposed. in the. same plane. and. concentric to the. axis ⁇ of the conveyor drum.
  • the inner ring is angefshaped in cross-section and is secured to the side of the conveyor drum, Whereas the outer of. said rings is connected with the angering ⁇ only by elastic means.
  • the guiding plates In order to. be. able. to. adjust' the. distance separating. the guiding plates. to accommodate dilerent lengths of cigarette groups, there isv provided according to-I the present invention, means for adjusting. axially they guiding plates and their elastic means relative to thesides of the conveyor drum.
  • Fig. 1v shows av vertical sectional view througha. preferred. embodiment of the invention, illustrating the location of4 the disc. rings with their associated; liange rings andthe -guiding rollers;
  • Fig.v 2 shows fragmentarily an end elevational. view of a disc ring and its associated flange ring with tensioning elements, looking in the direction ll-ll of Fig. l.;
  • Fig. 3. shows an enlarged cross-sectional view through a disc ring cuty witha bevel on and in dottedl lines its actual engagement with the end of a cigarette group
  • Fig. 4V illustrates a view similar to Fig. 3, but employing an. elastic diaphragm, instead of tension springs.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a shaft mounted in a machine support 2 and carrying a conveyor drum. 3. having grooves 4 spaced along its circumference.
  • the conveyor drum 3 may be driven by any suitable means, not shown..
  • the groovesl are. disposed, for instance, two. cigarettes. 5, with a mouthpiece attachment 6 interposed therebetween.
  • the mouthpiece. attachment 6, for example, may be a lter tip of double normal. length.
  • the disc rings 7, 8 are supported by elastic means 9, in this particular instance comprising a plurality of tension spring elements lil'.
  • the inner ends of the tension springs 10 areconnected to flange rings 7a, 8a, associated respectively with the disc rings 7, 8'.
  • The. llange rings 7a, 8a are adjustably secured torelatively large ange rings 11, 12 so that they may be adjusted axially along the direction. of the shaft 1.
  • abutment means in. this instance comprising a pair of spaced abutments 14, having rotatable guide rollers 15. which rotate with respect to the abutments 14., are provided bearing upon the sides of the disc rings 7, 8. I-n. the absence of the abutment means 13 with the guide rollers 15, the disc rings 7, S would be freely supported upon the flange rings 7a, Sa and would be disposed parallel to the opposite side faces of the conveyor drum. 3.
  • the disc rings 7, 8 being remotely positioned from the rollers 15, 'are spaced ⁇ apart a suiiiciently large distance to accommodate the insertion of new cigarette groups 17, comprising two cigarettes 5 and the interposed double-length lter tip 6, within the grooves 4 of the conveyor drum 3.
  • Fig. 3 shows how this may be accomplished, by providing a bevel 18 on the disc ring 8, having an angle a With the vertical.
