Granted: 1901-07-13
Abstract: 3572. Newton, P. A., [American Tobacco Co.]. Feb. 19. Making cans and canisters for containing material such as tobacco, the air being exhausted during the process of sealing. Fig. 1 shows in side view the general ar rangement of the machine employed, and Fig. 3 a vertical section on a larger scale of the exhausted and closing chamber. The can to be sealed is placed upon the table 38 and by foot mechanism 41 raised into the cylinder 3, the cylinder being closed by the contact of the plate 32 with the base of the cylinder. By a flexible connection 9 attached to the aperture 4, air is exhausted by means of the fan 5. By the movement of the lever which removes the beading-roller 20 from the end plate of the cam under operation, a valve is opened and the vacuum in the cylinder destroyed. On the can being raised into the cylinder, it is caught by the rotating chuck 12. An external lever is then moved in such a way that the roller 20, which is carried by it, is brought into contact with the end-plate of the can with the result that, in conjunction with the edge of the the chuck, the sealing is effected.
