Definitions

  • This invention relates to cigarette making machinery, and more particularly to apparatus for connecting a cigarette filter plug to the remainder of a cigarette by means of a sheet of adhesive coated wrapping material in which the abutting portions of the cigarette and of the filter are wrapped by a rolling motion.
  • each group of cigarette elements consisting of a filter plug and two lengths of tobacco rods aligned with the plug is rolled along the drum surface by contact with a stationary rolling member having a rolling face parallel to the drum face and spaced therefrom a distance slightly smaller than the diameter of the group of elements which are to be assembled by means of the connector sheet.
  • the completed assembly in which the sheet is wrapped about the plug and the adjacent abutting portions of the other cigarette elements is removed from the drum and cut transversely through the filter plug whereby two filter cigarettes are obtained from each assembly.
  • the object of this invention is an improvement of the known devices which permits handling of cigarette components which deviate from a circular cross section.
  • Another object is the improvement of the known devices which automatically aligns each assembled group of cigarette elements in a fixed direction.
  • Yet another object is to facilitate separation of the group of elements from the rolling members after assembly.
  • FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of an apparatus of the invention in its inoperative position, certain elements being broken away to afford a better view of others;
  • FIG. 2 shows a detail of the device of FIG. 1 in another perspective View
  • FIG. 3 shows a portion of the device of FIG. 2 on an enlarged scale
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the apparatus of FIG. 1 in side elevation in the operative position, with some portions broken away to reveal internal structure
  • FIG. 5 shows a detail of a modified device of the invention in a view corresponding to a portion of FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. 1 and 4 of the drawing there is shown as much of a device for assembling filter plugs with the other elements of cigarettes as is needed for an understanding of the invention.
  • the two rolling members between which the rod shaped cigarette elements are rolled in longitudinal alignment while in contact with an adhesive coated connecting sheet are a generally cylindrical drum 1 and a rolling member 2 which is stationary and closely adjacent the rotating drum 1 when the apparatus is in its operative condition as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the stationary member 2 has been removed from the cylindrical face of the drum 1 to its inoperative position assumed during maintenance operations.
  • the drum 1 is mounted on a non-illustrated driven shaft journaled in the machine frame. The drum 1 continuously rotates in the direction of the arrow N.
  • Two pairs of lugs 3 project from the stationary memher 2 in a direction away from the drum 1.
  • Pins 5 connecting the lugs of each pair pivotally support a pusher member 4 which is a two-armed lever.
  • One arm 6 of the pusher member adjacent the drum 1 is made of sheet metal and bent into the shape of a portion of a cylindrical surface which is normally parallel to the opposite cylindrical face of the drum 1 in the operative position of the stationary member 2.
  • the member 2 itself has a face portion 7 which normally extends in the same cylindrical surface as the bent portion of the arm 6.
  • the face portion 7 and the cylindrical surface of the arm 6 jointly constitute the rolling face associated with the member 2.
  • the other arm 8 of pusher member extends away from the drum 1.
  • a leaf spring 13 has one end fastened to the arm 8, and the position of its free other end relative to the arm may be adjusted by means of an adjusting screw 14.
  • a heavy helical compression spring 11 is interposed between the arm 8 and an abutment 12 fixed on the stationary rolling member 2. The spring 11 normally holds the pusher member 4 in the illustrated position relative to the member 2 in which the arm 6 is closely adjacent the face portion 7.
  • the spring 13 forms a click which cooperates with a ratchet wheel 9.
  • the teeth of the ratchet wheel 9 are constituted by lands of the original cylindrical surface of the wheel between recesses 10 uniformly spaced about the wheel circumference.
  • Each of the recesses has a first wall which drops steeply toward the axis of the wheel 9, and a second wall having a more gradual slope.
  • the wheel 9 is mounted on a shaft 17 connected to the drive ⁇ of the apparatus for synchronized rotation of the wheel 9 in the direction of the arrow N with the drum 1 as will hereinafter be described in more detail.
  • the stationary rolling member 2 is mounted on a bracket 26 which is rotatable and axially slidable on a pivot pin 27.
  • the pivot pin 27 is fixedly fastened to a block 28 which in turn is secured to an element 29 of the stationary supporting frame of the apparatus which is not otherwise shown.
  • the shafts of the drum 1 and of the wheel 9 are journaled in this frame.
  • Three guide rails 31 of flat sickle shape spacedly extend over a portion'of the substantially cylindrical face of the drum 1.
  • the rails of which only two are seen in FIGS. 1 and 4 have narrow edge faces 52 opposite the cylindrical drum face.
  • a portion of each face 52 extending from the rolling area adjacent the stationary member 2 in a direction opposite to the arrow N is cylindrical and coaxial with the drum 1.
  • the three guide rails 31 are-axially spaced from each other and are secured to the machine frame 'by brackets 32 and 32'.
  • the bracket 32 carries an integral abutment bar 30.
  • a stud 33 fixed to the bar 3% passes through aligned openings in the rails 31.
  • Sleeves 121 are interposed on the stud 33 between the rails 31 to hold them in axially spaced positions.
  • a similar stud 33 equipped with non-illustrated sleeves is attached in an analogous manner to the bracket 32, and the portion of the machine not seen in the drawing includes additional brackets, studs, and sleeves to maintain the desired alignment
  • a circular recess 42 in the block 28 is located so as to be engageable by the conical end 41 of the pin 37, but the spacing between the axis of the pivot pin 27 and the center of the recess 42 is smaller than the spacing of the axes of the pins 27 and 37.
  • Two threaded stops 43 are mounted on the bracket 26 and extend therefrom radially toward the drum 1. In the operative position of the device illustrated in FIG. 4, the stops 43 abut against the abutment bar 30 and thereby limit pivotal movement of the stationary member 2 about the pin 27 toward the drum 1.
  • the rolling face 7 of the member 2 and corresponding portions of the pusher member 4 are slotted in. five planes which are axially spaced and radial with respect to the shaft of the drum 1.
  • Three slots 44 are dimensioned and located movably to receive respective guide rails 31 in the operative position of the apparatus. Two wider and shallower slots interposed between the three slots 44 are intended to relieve the rolling pressure of the stationary member 2.
  • the generally cylindrical face of the drum a portion of which is better seen in FIG. 2 carries integral radially projecting axially elongated ribs 15.
  • the ribs 15 are uniformly spaced in a circumferential direction and define shallow troughs 45 therebetween which are portions of the rolling face of the drum 1.
  • the bottom of each trough 45 is divided into three approximately equal axial portions by two rows of orifices 16 communicating with a stationary vacuum chamber 117 within the drum.
  • the chamber is connected to a suction pump in a known man ner by means of a conduit of which only an orifice 118 is seen in the drawing.
  • the chamber 117 extends over the entire portion of the drum 1 in contact with cigarette element groups G with the exception of the rolling area opposite the stationary member 2.
  • the bottom of each trough 45 in the rolling face of the drum is corrugated.
  • the corrugations 47 47' have sharp axially extending ridges and corresponding depressions.
  • the corrugations 47 extend from the center of each trough 45' axially somewhat beyond each row of orifices 16.
  • the corrugations 47' extend axially inward from the end of each trough and are separated from the central corrugations 47 by a band 46 of smooth recessed drum surface.
  • the spacing of the ridges is preferably about one millimeter.
  • each mib 15 leads the remainder of the trough during rotation of the drum 1 in the direction of the arrow N, and the flank of another rib 15 trails.
  • Each mib 15 thus has a leading flank in one troughand a trailing flank in the next trough.
  • an approximately cylindrically shaped groove 51 extends in each trough bottom in an axial direction. The grooves 51 are'free from corrugations 47, 47.
  • Several orifices 16a of the vacuum chamber 117 terminate in each groove 51 on the fiank of the corresponding rib 15.
  • each guide rail 31 opposite the drum face is spaced from the corrugated surface of the drum 1 in each trough bottom a distance a smaller than the radial distance b from the bottom of the groove 51.
  • the distance a is smaller and the distance b is greater than the diameter of a cigarette.
  • a feed wheel 119'having circumferentially spaced axial grooves 126 is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axis of the drum 1 in synchronization with the latter.
  • the axial grooves 120 in the cylindrical face of the wheel 119 are intersected by three axially spaced circumferential grooves 122.
  • a wedge-shaped terminal portion 123 of each rail 31 is received in each groove 122.
  • the aforedescribed apparatus operates as follows:
  • the locating pin 37 is withdrawn in the direction of the arrow H until the conical end 41 of the pin clears the block 28.
  • the bracket 26, the stationary member 2, and the pusher member 4 participate in this movement in the direction of the arrow L.
  • the bracket 26 may now be pivoted in the direction of the arrow K toward the surface of the drum 1 for engagement of the guide rails 31 in the slots 44, and registering of the end 41 of the locating pin 37 with the recess 42 in the block 28.
  • the pivotal movement of the bracket 26 on the pin 27 causes the leaf spring 13 to move in the direction of the arrow M into ratcheting engagement with the recesses 10 of the ratchet wheel 9.
  • the drum 1 and the wheel 9 are jointly driven by the non-illustrated main drive of the apparatus in such a manner that the wheel 9 rotates through an angle corresponding to the angular spacing of two adjacent recesses 10 While the drum 1 moves through an angle corresponding to the angular spacing of two adjacent ribs 15.
  • Groups G of cigarette elements G are formed in a known manner by longitudinally aligning two rod shaped lengths 50 of tobacco Wrapped in cigarette paper with an interposed rod-shaped plug 49 of filter material.
  • the rods 50 and 49 are approximately cylindrical, but the diameter of the filter plug 49 is slightly smaller than that of the rod-shaped tobacco bodies 50.
  • the groups of cigarette elements are fed to the wheel 119 in a known manner so that they are initially located in respective axial grooves 120. When during rotation of the wheel 119, the groups of cigarette elements reach the terminal portions 123 of the guide rails 31, they are lifted from the grooves 120 and sequentially transferred into respective troughs 45 in the surface of the drum 1 contiguously adjacent the leading flank of a rib 15. They are held in this position by the vacuum within the chamber 117 applied through the orifices 1601.
  • the pusher member 4 As the spring 13 travels over the ratchet face of the Wheel 9, the pusher member 4 is pivotally retracted from the rolling face of the drum 1 while the spring moves outward of a recess 10 along the gradually sloping Wall of the recess. After reaching the land between two circumferentially adjacent recesses 10, the spring abruptly drops into the next recess 10 along the steep wall of the latter, thereby rapidly moving the arm 6 of the pusher member 4 toward the drum 1.
  • the drives of the drum 1 and of the ratchet wheel 9 are synchronized in such a manner that the pusher memher 4 at the moment of its sudden movement toward the drum 1 is radially aligned with a group G of cigarette elements entering the rolling area between the stationary rolling faces 6, 7 and the rolling face of the drum 1.
  • the condition of such a group is illustrated at G in FIG. 2. It is superimposed on a connecting sheet B laid down on the drum surface in a known manner and heldby the suction applied through orifices 16.
  • the adhesive-coated face of the sheet B is directed radially outward. Its two circumferentially terminal edge portions are respectively remote from and adjacent the groove 5.1. The adjacent edge portion overhangs the groove 51.
  • the arm 6 of the pusher member 4 upon dropping of the spring 13 into a recess 10, forces the central portion of the group G into intimate contact with the adhesivecoated face of the sheet B.
  • the axial width of the sheet B is such as to extend over the length of the plug 49 and over the longitudinally abutting portions of the two paper wrapped tobacco rods '50.
  • each trough 45 between adjacent ribs equals the circumferential length of th connecting sheet B and is greater than the circumference of the groups G.
  • the sheet B initially adhered to the group G by the pressure of the pusher member 4 is gradually wrapped about the group as the same rolls from the leading flank of one rib to the trailing flank of the other rib defining the respective trough 45.
  • the wrapped group G whose elements 49, 50 are now connected by the sheet B is deposited in the conforming cylindrical groove 51. If due to any cause, the elements of a group G should not be aligned axially when approaching the groove, the misalignment will be corrected by engagement of the group with the groove 51, thus facilitating later separation of the group from the drum 1 in a known manner.
  • the corrugations 47, 47' practically prevent the elements of a group G from moving out of axial alignment while being rolled between the cooperating faces of the drum 1 and the stationary member 2.
  • the corrugations also facilitate joining a plug 49 with paper wrapped tobacco rods 50.
  • Thediameter of the paper wrapped tobacco rod 5f is usually slightly larger than that of the filter plug 49 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the tobacco rods 54 are radially compressed so that their cigarette paper wrapping becomes too Wide.
  • the excess paper in the free end portions of the rods 51 is again taken up by expansion of the rods when the pressure is relaxed.
  • the wrapped sheet B makes such relaxation impossible in a portion of the tobacco rod 59 adjacent the lateral edge 53 of the wrapped sheet B as seen in FIG. 3.
  • the excess paper is forced into the recesses between the ridges of the corrugations and thus forms narrow folds S4 barely visible to the unaided eye and shown in FIG. 3 on a somewhat exaggerated scale for the sake of clarity.
  • the folds are fixed by the connecting sheet B.
  • the excess paper may accumulate during rolling of the group G and finally be fixed by the sheet B in the form of an undesirable relatively large pocliet which upon release from the roiling area would be filled with air and would by-pass at least a portion of the tobacco rod 59 in an undesirable manner.
  • the bottom of groove 51 is sufficiently lower than the ridges of the corrugations 4'7, 4'7 to relieve the pressure of the rolling face '7 on the completely wrapped group G Frictional forces exerted by the rolling face '7 in a circumferential direction are reduced to an insignificant amount, and cannot press the finished group G tightly against the trailing flank of a rib Any deformation or other damage to the group resulting from such circumferential forces is thus avoided.
  • the spacing of the grooves 51 and the locations of the orifices 16a in the flanks of the ribs 15 are selected in such a manner that respective free edge portions of the sheets B overhang the grooves 51 prior to rolling, but do not extend circumferentially to the orifices 16a.
  • the axial width of the rails 31 is much smaller than that of the face 7.
  • Two of the rails 31 are axially offset from the drum 1, andthe third rail 31 is aligned with the filter plug whose diameter is somewhat less than the diameter of the wrapped tobacco rods. Therefore, the rails 31 have little, if any, rolling effect.
  • the groups of cigarette elements arequite resilient, and the spatial relationship illustrated in FIG. 4 does not interfere with proper operation of the apparatus.
  • FIG. 5 shows a modification of a portion of the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 which achieves secure adhesive sealing of the free edge portion of the sheet B in a somewhat different manner.
  • the guide rails 31 have a projecting portion 124 of a length approximately equal to A2 of the spacing of successive ribs 15.
  • Each projecting portion 124 has a coaxial pressure face opposite the drum 1 in the portion of the rolling area in which rolling of each group of cigarette elements is completed.
  • the radial spacing of the pressure face from the bottom of the groove 51 in which the rolled group is eventually deposited is slightly smaller'than the average diameter of the group so that the finished rolled product is urged inward of the group by the pressure of the projecting rail portion l24, whereby the free edge portion of the connecting sheet B is securely adhered to the remainder of the rolled assembly.
  • the modified apparatus shown in FIG. 5 is preferably limited in its application to connecting sheets B having a low coeficient of friction with respect to the guide rail 31. It is evident that there is relative movement and friction between portions of the connecting sheet and the face of the guide rail portion 12 while the assembly is held in the groove 51. This may result in damage to the connecting sheet unless it is very smooth.
  • a stationary rolling member having another rolling face opposite a portion of the face of said drum member and substantially parallel thereto, said other face being spaced from said recess a distance greater than said diameter, and from the remainder of said trough portion a distance smaller than said diameter;
  • guide rail means opposite the rolling face of said drum member, a portion of said guide rail means 'being radially spaced from said recess a distance smaller than said diameter and constituting a pressure means for urging said objects against said adjacent terminal portion of said sheet during rotation of said drum in said predetermined direction.
