Abstract: 10,470. Stewart, D. B. D., and Stewart, W. D., [Noyes, J.]. May 18. Combs, hair.-Relates to a machine for twin-cutting combs of horn, vulcanite, celluloid, xylonite, &c. with fine or coarse teeth, or both, and with guard teeth at the ends, and also cropping or parting the two combs. The machine may also be arranged to cut more than two combs by duplicating the cutters &c. Fig. 4 shows a plan, and Fig. 6 a section of part of the machine on the line 6. The horn &c. blanks are softened by placing them between the heated boxes E, and are then clamped on a slide which works over the heated bed C and under the cutters 2. Cutters for the fine and coarse teeth and for the guard teeth and for cropping are carried on separate plungers, and the guard and cropping cutters may be combined. All the plungers are carried in a crosshead Y, which is adjustable laterally by a cam X so as to bring the proper cutter into position as the blank is fed forward, and a cam-operated clamping-device is used to hold the crosshead steady. The plungers are worked by a cam K<3> on the main shaft K acting through antifriction rollers on slides z<13> and " hammer knockers " y, which can be pulled back to render the cams inoperative either by hand or by the cam U and arm y<5>. Feeler bars z<12> prevent the descent of the cropping-cutters if the clamping-plates are in the way. The blank is clamped on the bed by a pair of hinged plates which are kept closed or are opened by fingers &c. on a slide v, and this slide is operated from the cam X througn the link u<1> and lever u<3>. It is mounted on a rocking bar v', and can be lifted by certain arrangements worked by the handle w<5> at the other end of the machine. The bed itself slides under the spring-held guides d<8>, d<9>, and is fed by the pawls o', p<1> engaging racks on its sides. These pawls are carried by the pivoted arm n which is reciprocated through arms on a rock shaft k and link h from a cam on the main shaft near the driving-wheel K'. The pawls o', p<1> give the feed for fine and the coarse teeth respectively, and one or other is held out of action by the links and levers w<16>, which are acted upon by cams on the shaft T. The driving-connections between the various cams and other shafts is made partly by the gear-wheels seen on the right of Fig. 4 in connection with a clutch, tripping-gear, and stops d<2>, d' on the slide, the arrangements illustrated by numerous views in the Specification being such as to ensure the proper sequence of the feeding and cutting operations. The height of the surface of the travelling cutting-bed is adjusted by a pair of oppositely-disposed wedges, and various screw and slot adjustments are described for the cutters, feed, and springs used to hold and return the several parts.

Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 14,148. Giroud, F. July 11. Packeting cigarettes.-The machine may be used for folding a cardboard case, Fig. 9, or a paper wrapper around the cigarettes. In the first arrangement, the cigarettes are contained in a hopper 16 with an inclined wire bottom or shaker 18 which distributes the cigarettes between hanging partitions s, and the side blades 12 on the plunger 11, Fig. 6. The plunger is operated by a pin-andslot mechanism 6, and forces the cigarettes against the middle of a blank which stands vertically in the cavity 21, and doubling it about them forces it through the folding-mechanism, Fig. 5, in the direction of the arrow. The parts 33 of the folder turn in the flaps c, then the upper side flaps dare turned down by curved plates 32, and next the bottom flaps e are gummed by the wheel 40 working over openings 35, and finally turned up by the plates 34. The plunger, continuing its motion, forces the packet into a turning-box 49, Fig. 4, and then blades 14, Fig. 1, fall into slots 13, Fig. 6, and retain the cigarettes during its withdrawal. A paster-wheel 41 now pastes the part g of the packet exposed by the slot 48, and then the box 49 is turned over by the cam 59, a rack and pinion and ratchet 55, and the next packet forces it out of the box into a paper case contained in a cavity in a wheel 60, sealing down the flap f as it does so. The cases are fed to the wheel by a plunger operated by a cord, and the wheel is turned by being first thrust to the left by a cam 70 to unlock it and then by a lever 69 engaging one of the teeth 64. The blanks are fed on to an inclined plate 28 by a plunger 27 operated by a cord 31, and are then tripped into the groove 21 by turning the plate about its hinge a. In order to pack the cigarettes in a paper case, they have to be compressed first. The mechanism for doing this is shown in Figs. 16 to 19. From the hopper 75 the cigarettes fall between the partitions 78, 82, which are hinged together and are united by links 80 which allow the partitions to be pressed together, as in Fig. 17, to compress the cigarettes ; these are thrust into the packet by hinged plungers 85.
