Abstract: 9562. Karlson, H. C. April 19. Cigarette-making appliances. - A tobacco receptacle is combined with a cigarette-making appliance, or it may be arranged to be interchangeably connected either with its own lid or with the cigarette-making appliance. In the form shown in Fig. 20, the receptacle 1 is provided with an offset 2 connected by a funnel to a forming-tube 3. A hood 20 is adapted to cover the tube 3, and is provided with a plate 17 to close the tube, the hood when extended serving to catch the discharged cigarette and loose tobacco. The plunger 5, having a head 15, is arranged to slide in a pivoted disk 8, Fig. 1, covering a slot 7 which permits the plunger 5 to be moved laterally to feed the tobacco from the receptacle to the offset 2. In a modification, the slot 7 may be replaced by a straight slot which is covered by an endless apron, through one face of which the plunger passes. The plunger is provided with an indent 16 to indicate when the tube 3 is filled and is fitted with a handle 14 which is adapted to lock into the head 6 of the receptacle. If desired, a plate may be pivoted to cover the end of the tube 3 and a separate slide or plate may be provided which, when extended, serves to catch the cigarette. Fig. 22 shows a frame 41 carrying the offset 2 and cigarette-forming tube 3 and attached to a pouch 40. Fig. 24 shows a receptacle having a lid 62 fitted thereto by means of groove guides 58 and depressions and buttons 60, 66. The lid may be replaced by a lid 62<a>, Fig. 29, carrying the cigarette-making appliance. The hood 20 is adapted to be clipped in position as shown. Disruptible seals such as the diaphragm 24, Fig. 1, may be arranged to render the device airtight till it is used. Strips 23 are provided to hold cigarette papers or matches.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 20,948. Sapal Soc. Anon. des Plieuses Automatique. Sept. 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Packeting by wrapping-up. - Machines for wrapping-up round disk-lihe articles into cylindrical packages are provided with closely-set wrapping-rollers of small diameter and supported so as to move towards or away from each other as required. Two cylindrical casings 5, 6, Fig. 1, are arranged concentrically to one another, and the wrapping-rollers 8 are arranged between the casings. The rollers 8, Fig. 11, are of unequal effective length, and the parts 9 are adjustable axially to suit the size of the package which is being formed. The roller axles are guided in inclined slots 10, Fig. 3, formed in plates 11 having arms 27 connected bv a bar 27<1> so as to move in unison. The ends of each adjacent pair of roller axles are connected by links 12 so as to move in unison. The rollers are positively driven by pinions 18 on the roller axles driven by gearing 19 and a handle 21. Bushes 14, 14<1> in the casings carry radially sliding folding-members 23, Fig. 6, which are simultaneously operated by pins engaging in inclined slots 26 in two rings 25, 25<1>, which are connected together by arms 28. The disks 11, 11<1> and rings 25, 25<1> are intermittingly and alternately oscillated about their axes by suitable cams (not shown). The disks 2, Fig. 11, of chocolate &c. are placed together to form a roll with a cardboard disk at each end and are gripped between a pair of heads 32 on the ends of rods 29. The roll is then slid axially into the machine. The rollers 8 are then moved radially inwards and a cardboard wrapper and a paper wrapper are introduced between the rollers by diametrically arranged feed-rolls 35, Fig. 2. The rollers then rotate and wind the wrappers around the package. The rods 29 are then partially withdrawn carrying with them the spring-pressed heads 32 and leaving the package held by the spring-pressed pins 33. This provides space for the operation of the folders 23, which are moved inwards by their cam-guides so that the previously - gummed edges stick to the cardboard disks and complete the package.
