Abstract: 1,087,577. Tobacco smoke filters. K. KÍRBER. Nov. 10, 1964 [Nov. 11, 1963], No. 44137/64. Heading A2C. In a method of producing composite filter rods, filter rods of a first sort and filter rods of a second sort are disposed successively in the same grooves of a conveyer and are cut while on the conveyer to form a number of portions, and some of the portions of one sort are caused to travel in an auxiliary path away from the conveyer and are subsequently returned to the conveyer in a different axial position to form composite rows of first and second sort plugs in alternating sequence, the composite rows so formed being subsequently enclosed in a wrapper. As shown in Fig. 1 filter rods 1 of the first sort are delivered from a magazine 34 by a drum 35 to a drum 36. The rods are cut into two portoins 2, 3 (Fig. 3) by a cutter 37 and moved apart (Fig. 4) by guides 38. Filter rods 4 of a second sort are then fed from a magazine 39 by a drum 40 between the portions 2, 3 (Fig. 6). The filter rod portions 2, 3, 4 are then cut by cutters 41, 42 and 43 into rod portions 5-10 (Fig. 7) and the portion 8 is cut into portions 12 and 13 by a subsequent cutter 44 (Fig. 8). A take-off drum 46 removes the portions 6 and 9 (Fig. 9) and the portions 7 and 13 are moved axially towards the portions 5 and 10 by guides 45 (Fig. 10). The removed portions 6 and 9 are transferred to a shifter drum 47 and moved inwardly (Figs. 11 and 12) by guides 48 until they coincide with the gaps 14 and 15 (Fig. 10) between the portions 7, 12 and 13. The portions 6 and 9 are delivered to the gaps 14 and 15 by a drum 49 (Fig. 13) and guides 50 effect abutment of the rod portions (Fig. 14). A connector sheet 18 is fed to the rod by tipping apparatus 51-55 (Fig. 15) and wrapped around the assembled rod portions by a wrapper drum 56 (Fig. 16). In an alternative arrangement the guides 50 may be omitted and granular material may be fed into the gaps between adjacent portions prior to wrapping (Fig. 17, not shown).

Filed: 1973-09-20
Abstract: 1440641 Glass moulding machine LYNCH CORP 20 Sept 1973 [5 Oct 1972] 44268/73 Heading C1M A continuous motion glass moulding machine includes a plurality of moulds movable through a closed path; a mechanism for delivering glass gobs into the moulds, the mechanism having a delivery end which directs the gob into a mould; means for moving the delivery end in an arcuate path so that a gob can be delivered without halting the motion of the mould; and means for radially moving the moulds from an inner arcuate path to an outer arcuate path which is aligned below the arcuate path of the delivery end. As shown (Fig. 1) the machine includes a lower rotatable table 54 on which moulds 64 are mounted and an upper rotatable table 56 on which a plurality of ware-forming plungers 66 are mounted. The delivery mechanism 58 and a take-out mechanism 60 are provided at the circumference of the rotatable table 54. The moulds 64 are mounted on slides 232 (Fig. 6) which may be moved radially by bell-crank levers 262. Such slides are used to move the moulds to an inward arcuate path where gobs delivered to the moulds are shaped by correponding plungers 66 which are also moving along an arcuate path by reason of the rotation of the table 56, thereby enabling rotation of the moulds to continue during pressing, after which the slides are used to move the moulds to an outer arcuate path so that take-out and the delivery of fresh gobs can take place without fouling the plungers. The gob delivery mechanism (Fig. 19) includes two shoots 438 for simultaneous delivery of a pair of gobs. Each shoot is oscillated by means of a cam follower 460 following the outline of a rotating eccentric cam 451. The follower is mounted on a shoot support 454 and the cam driven by a gear wheel system 164, 432, 434, 436. The take-out mechanism (Figs. 10, 27) includes a "kick-up" rod 488 located beneath each slide closing off the bottom of the mould. The rod is associated with a lift arm 494 when the slide is in its outer position. The arm 494 has at its outer end a cam follower 500. When the mould reaches the take-out position a cam engages the roller 500 to cause the lift arm 494 and therefore the rod 488 to rise and lift the ware in the mould. A second cam is provided to restore the arm and rod to their initial positions after take-out. When lifted the ware is grasped by a pair of jaws 592. A plurality of such jaws are carried on respective arms 572 radiating from a rotatable hub 572. A cam and follower system 620, 586, 580, 624 act to open the jaws, close them around the ware and lift the jaws to raise the ware out of the mould.
