Title: Improvements relating to Cigarettes or Cigars or to Mouthpieces therefor, and to Apparatus for Making and Applying said Mouthpieces
Filed: 1904-08-10
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 17,445. Lake, H. H., [Standard Mouth- Piece Machine Co.]. Aug. 10. Cigarette mouthpieces; cigars.-The object is to form mouthpieces from paper or other similar material, and to attach them to the ends of cigarettes or cigars with a part of the mouthpiece surrounding the end. The cigarettes or cigars are fed into a shoot 65, Fig. 3, from a hopper rocked by a lever 81 actuated by projections on a ring 83. The rod 72 forces the lowest cigarette through an opening 69 into a trough 70, and the rod 73 pushes it into one of the chambers 5 in the cylinder 4, which is mounted on a rotating shaft. The shaft is actuated by a roller 60, Fig. 8, mounted on a disc 58 and engaging the ribs 56 on a wheel 55 fixed to the shaft. The ribs 61, 62 spanning the rollers 57 act as guides to the entering of the roller 60 between the ribs. As each chamber 5, carrying a cigarette, comes opposite the plate 7, a slotted spindle 14 enters it, and a strip of paper 114, Fig. 4, is advanced by a sliding finger or pawl 31 into it, to be twisted by the slotted spindle around the end of the cigarette. The hole in the plate 7 is slightly less than the chambers 5, so that the mouthpiece is stripped from the spindle 14 when it is withdrawn. The strip of paper is of the form shown in Fig. 16. The pawl 31 holds the paper by the hole 121, the pad 46, Fig. 4, supplied with adhesive by the roller 51 mounted on the arm 50, applies it in the form shown at 122, and the end 118 abutting against the end of the cigarette prevents the tobacco from entering the mouth of the smoker. The paper is cut along the line 123 by shears 40, Fig. 4. As the cylinder 4 brings the cigarettes into line with the rod 76, Fig. 3, they are pushed down the shoot 88. The shaft 10 is feathered in a sleeve 16 which receives its rotary motion from a segmental rack-lever 25. The parts described receive their motion from levers and links actuated by cams on the main shaft. Mouthpieces may be made separately by using the machine without introducing cigarettes or cigars.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Decorticating Ramie and other Fibrous Plants.
Inventor: FAURE JEAM MARIE ANDRE
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 29,011. Faure, J. M. A. Dec. 30. Decorticating ramie &c.-Relates to a finishing- cleaner adapted to operate in an automatic and continuous manner on the stems and leaves of ramie &c. The stems from a coarse decorticating- machine are allowed to fall, or are placed by hand, upon an endless carrier a, and their rear ends are held thereon by toothed bars or combs c resting in notches in the side bars d of the carrier. As the latter moves round the drum a', the material is fed between a pair of scraping-cylinders b, b<1> and subsequently withdrawn therefrom ; the comb bars are held, by guides f in contact with the carrier while passing round the drum a<1> and until the fibres are clear of the scraping-cylinders, when they fall away, carrying the fibres with them. The notched bars d of the carrier which are opposite to one another may be connected by straight or angle bars e, having a gap between them, which facilitate the insertion of the comb teeth into the fibres. Figs. 10, 12, 13, and 14 show an apparatus for automatically engaging the comb bars c with the fibres. The bar is placed in hooks k on the bar i of a sliding frame which is maintained in its highest position shown by springs j. The frame carries at its lower end projecting studs m which may be engaged, for the purpose of depressing the frame against the action of the springs, by a pair of spiral cams n, shown separately in Fig. 12. The cams are rotated continuously and can slide upon the axle o, being normally held out of engagement with the studs m by springs, but arranged to be simultaneously drawn together by means of the system of levers r, s operated by a handle on the shaft q. When a comb bar is to be inserted into the fibrous material, the cams n are moved into gear and the frame i descends, forcing the comb teeth into the fibres, until, by the movement of the carrier, the bar c is released from the hooks k as shown in Fig. 14, and the cams release the studs m, when the frame i returns again to its highest position.

Filed: 1905-08-01
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 15,740. Ellis, F. A. Aug. 1. Heel protectors. - Relates to heel pads of the type described in Specification No. 2572, A.D. 1905, and consists in means for obviating the tendency of the securing- plates to buckle while being fixed together, or during wear. To effect this, the plate which carries the pad is rendered more flexible, by forming it in two or more, but preferably four, separate sections b, Fig. 1. When stamping out the plate, connecting-pieces f are left to hold the segments together during the moulding of the pad, these pieces being afterwards removed. In another arrangement, a metal ring divided into two or more sections is used. These sections are sometimes strengthened by means of radial arms. When fitting a pad provided with such a plate or ring in place, there is, in some cases, no need to divide the foundation plate secured to the heel, as the two plates can be sprung into engagement with each other. Tha invention may also be applied to heel-shaped pads.
