Title: Improvements in and relating to mechanism for piercing the ends of cigars
IPC: A24C1/38
Filed: 1935-07-12
Abstract: 450,054. Cigar making and piercing machines. INTERNATIONAL CIGAR MACHINERY CO., 5520, 2nd Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A. July 12, 1935, No. 20009. Convention date, March 23. [Class 130] The machine includes a locating-device which is first moved so as to engage the end of a cigar and centralize it with respect to the piercing-element, which is subsequently forced into the cigar end. Fig. 1 shows the locating- device 34 engaging the end of a cigar C, a piercing-needle 22 being afterwards inserted through the device 34 into the cigar. The device 34 is connected by a rod 33 to a slide 31 having pin-and-slot engagement at 29 with a lever 23, which is also connected to the needle shaft 18 and is actuated by a rod 24, lever 25, and cam 27. When the rise of the cam comes into action, a spring 35 moves the device 34 to the left until it engages the end of a cigar C held by transferring- grippers 41, 42 and presses the cigar against a stop 58. The needle 22, however, continues its movement towards the left and pierces the cigar. The needle is rotated by belt pulleys 16, 17 from the shaft of the knurler 12, and is preferably heated by an electric device 38. In a modification, the knurler 12, which finishes the cigar end, also acts as the locating-device, the needle moving axially through the knurler, while both are rotated. Fig. 7 shows another form, in which cigars C are transferred by a pusher 74 to grippers 76 on a rotating turret 75, the cigars being located and pierced at the position C2, and then conveyed from position C3 by a device 79 to the position C4, from which another pusher 81 moves the cigar to position C5, where it is surrounded -on three sides by wrapping-material W, which is then lapped over the fourth side by folding-arms 84, 85. When the cigar end is refinished after piercing by a hand knurler, the knurler is spring- mounted axially and carries the needle concentrically, so that when the cigar end is pressed by hand into the knurler, the latter moves axially and the needle enters the hole previously pierced in the cigar, so as to prevent it from being closed up.
