Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cigarette rod making machines and particularly is directed to a tobacco guide for feeding a continuous tobacco rod into a cigarette rod forming device in which a strip of cigarette paper is wrapped around the tobacco rod to form a continuous cigarette rod.
  • the present invention has as one of its objects to provide a suction chamber in the feed region of the endless rod conveyor belt which latter may be constructed as a perforated belt.
  • This suction chamber may for example be associated with the birdge utilized with such inlet guide devices between the two guide wheels over which the endless suction belt is threaded.
  • the outer surface of the support wheel located at this point is made air permeable and is subjected to the action of compressed air to assist the entrance of the tobacco rod into the rear guide portion.
  • the compressed air is so adjusted that the entrance of the tobacco rod into the rear guide portion is not adversely influenced by the formation of eddy currents.
  • the compressed air merely serves to hinder the tobacco fibers from being deflected upwardly;
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the device of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a detail on the line 11-11 of FIG. 1.
  • the essential par-ts of the tobacco guiding device include the horizontally spaced support wheels 2 and 3 arranged above the tobacco stream conveying duct 1 and over which a perforated endless belt 4 is threaded.
  • This perforated endless belt 4 or rather the lower horizontal stretch of the same, forms the leading or front portion of the guiding device of the invention.
  • the tobacco conveying belt 5 moves below the support wheel 2 while the tobacco receiving belt 6 runs beneath the support wheel 3.
  • a cigarette paper strip 7 is fed to the so called forming belt 6 over a paper guide roller 8.
  • Between the guide roller 9 for the tobacco forming belt 6 and the paper feed roller 8 is usually arranged a bridge, but this bridge is not necessary in the present invention and is only indicated in dash and dotted lines for the sake of a better undersanding of the present invention.
  • a web member 10 which forms the support for the lower stretch of the perforated endless belt 4 in this region.
  • the part of the web 10 facing the endless belt 4- is constructed as a suction chamber 11.
  • the peripheral wall of the support wheel 3 is provided with apertures 12 which com- 3,039,474 Patented June 19, 1962 municate with a common annular groove 13 in the body of the wheel 3.
  • This groove 13 has mounted therein a sealing member 14 connected to a compressed air connection.
  • the sealing member 14 extends over the region over which the compressed air is to be made operative and is fixedly mounted on the machine frame. Extending from the support wheel 3 toward the right is the rear portion 15 of the tubular tobacco rod guide.
  • the tobacco conveying belt 5 moves the tobacco stream or rod in the direction of the arrow 16 and by the suction exerted on the tobacco by the suction chamber 11 the tobacco is caused to adhere to the underside of the lower stretch of the perforated endless belt 4.
  • the belt 4 leads the tobacco stream over the transfer zone between the guide roller 9 and the paper feed roller 8. Therefore, the bridge member previously necessary at this point and shown in dash and dotted lines can be omitted.
  • this bridge member can be left in place, because the suction action on the tobacco prevents any piling up of tobacco in the region of the bridge.
  • the tobacco stream which comes into contact with the paper strip 7 is now moved together with the paper strip 7 and the endless belt 4 to the forming belt 6 and is fed into the rear portion of the tubular guide 15.
  • the discharge of the tobacco stream from the endless belt 4 is assisted by a comparatively small compressed air action in the region of the support wheel 3.
