Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of cigarettes
IPC: A24C5/52
Filed: 1933-11-02
Abstract: 427,896. Cigarette-making machines. WIX, A., 338, Goswell Road, London, and MAY, R. F., 9, Manor Road, Potters Bar, Middlesex. Nov. 2, 1933, No. 30416. [Class 130] In a continuous-rod method for the manufacture of cigarettes containing a filter tip or other insertion, the insertions are first applied and affixed to the continuous paper strip and the continuous tobacco filling fed from the hopper is cut into lengths which are delivered or transferred on to the paper strip between the insertions, the paper strip being then wrapped around the composite filling to produce a rod which is cut into lengths to obtain cigarettes. The insertion may be a tube, filter tip, wad or the like, or may consist of tobacco of different quality or character from that of the main tobacco filling, the tobacco being enclosed in a tube, sleeve, or wrapper ; and the insertion may be located at the mouthpiece end of the cigarette or at an intermediate position in the length of the cigarette. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the tobacco filling 1 from the hopper 2 is carried by an endless belt 3 into a tube 4 and passes between grooved pressure rollers 6 to a cut-off device 5. The severed length of tobacco filling is deposited on the paper strip 7, led over a roller 9, between filter tips or insertions 8 previously applied. Immediately after the cutting operation, a member 11 is actuated to engage above the trailing end of the cut-off length of filling and positively deposits it on the paper strip ; the member 11 then moves in the direction of the paper strip, but initially at a reduced speed, obturating the flow of the tobacco filling, and ensuring the deposition of the leading end of the filling behind the insertion 8, as shown in Fig. 4. The feed mechanism for the tobacco filling may be slowed down or interrupted during the cutting operation, or the mean speed of the tobacco feed may be lower than that of the paper strip. The composite filling produced is wrapped in the paper strip 7 by known means 10. The insertions 8 to be applied to the strip 7 may be fed from a forming unit 16, Fig. 7, into chambers 12<a> in an intermittently rotating drum 12, from which they are ejected by a plunger 13 and pass through a tube 14 into a circumferential groove 15a in a wheel or disc 15. Adhesive from a pasting device 18 is applied by a disc 17 and the insertions are carried into engagement with the strip 7, which is led over a roller 19 into engagement with the periphery of the wheel 15. In a modification, Fig. 6, the continuous tobacco filling 1 is led into chambers formed by longitudinal slots 20b in a drum 20 rotating intermittently between fixed inner and outer members 25, 26, the filling being severed by a cutter adjacent to the end of the drum. On reaching the lowest position, the filling is ejected by a cam-actuated bar 23 on to the paper strip 7 between the insertions 8, the strip being supported by a guide member 21.

Abstract: 306,858. Bradshaw, G. Nov. 21, 1927. Amusement apparatus.-A coin-freed machine for amusement purposes which returns irregular quantities of coins or discs at irregular intervals comprises a mechanism which, although following an indefinite sequence or a sequence of long duration, is provided with limitations so that the machine cannot be exhausted of its " float " or reserve stock of coins nor can the " float" be excessively filled so as to cause the mechanism to become jammed. Coins or discs are inserted one at a time through a slot 14, Fig. 1, in the cover of the apparatus into radial slots 11 in a wheel 9 revolving on a bolt 10. The cover is provided with a finger grip 3 and a. spring-controlled trigger 4 which is pressed against each coin and causes the wheel to rotate step-by-step through the distance of one slot, the wheel being positioned at each actuation by a plunger 6 engaging teeth 8, Fig. 2, on the upper part of the wheel. The coins are held in the slots 11 by a plate 13 controlled by a spring 20 and cannected to the wheel by a projection 18 on a spring-pressed plunger 17 engaging teeth 19 on the lower part of the wheel. The plate 13 rotates with the wheel until the plunger 17 is forced outwardly against its spring 16 by cams on cam rings 23, 24 which rotate at different speeds in the same direction. The plate 13, wiren freed, is returned by the spring 20 and a segment 33 - - 36 cut in it moves under the wheel, allowing the coins in the slots 11 under which the segment moves, to pass to a receptacle 37 accessible to the player. A segment 38 - - 40 is cut in the cover to allow the coins to pass, and a percentage of the coins may pass to a receptacle 42 inside the apparatus. The distance the plate 13 moves back is determined by the position of the cam rings 23, 24. These rings are formed with internal teeth meshing with planetary gear wheels 25, 26 of different sizes mounted on a bolt 31 on the wheel 9, the bolt having another wheel 27 meshing with a sun wheel 28 on the bolt 10. A cam 32 fixed to the cover limits the travel of the plate 13 bv acting on the plunger 17, and prevents the near edge 35, 36 of the segment in the plate from passing the forward edge 38, 39 of the slot in the cover so that the slots in the wheel 9 passing the edge 38, 39 shall not hold any coins. Backward movement of the plate 13 is limited by the housing of the plunger 17 engaging the wall 38, 39. This contact, limits the width of the internal receptacle 42. Specification 288,744 is referred to.
