Abstract: 6698. Royston, E. R., [American Machine and Foundry Co.]. March 18. Cigarette-making machines; tobacco.-In a machine of the continuous-rod type having a printing - mechanism. means are provided for adjusting the cut - off mechanism whereby the position of the cut may be varied with respect to the position of the imprint on the paper; a device for opening defective cigarettes and devices for adjusting the parts of the machine while the latter is in operation are also provided. The cigarette paper is fed from the roll 11, Fig. 1, through a printing-mechanism of the usual two - colour type and along a straight runway comprising two side walls 107, 108, which are adapted to be swung open and are clamped in place when the machine is in operation. The tobacco is showered on to the paper in this runway from a feeding-apparatus of any suitable construction, and is compressed by means of an adjustable wheel 119 mounted on a shaft 120. The tobacco and paper then cross an adjustable bridge-piece 142 and enter the forming-tube. The pasting - device is mounted on a shaft 206, Fig. 14, about which it may swing to give access to the forming-tube. The paste in the pot 218 is fed by a wheel 220 to the paste wheel 223, which pastes the upstanding edge 205 of the paper. The pasting- device may be adjusted horizontally by means of the screw 245, and vertically by the screwed spindle 238 which forms a foot bearing for the shaft 206. The pasted seam is pressed down by a belt 305, Fig. 16, which travels with the cigarette-rod. The belt 305 is carried by pulleys 309, 310 mounted in brackets adapted to be swung on the shaft 337. The belt is driven at variable speeds by means of the friction drive 328, 336, and the pressure of the belt on the pasted seam is adjusted by the screwed spindle 350. The severing or cut-off mechanism is mounted on a carrier 403, Fig. 22, which may be adjusted longitudinally by means of the handwheel 408. The slide 426 is mounted on the carrier 403 and carries the cutter 429. The slide is reciprocated by means of an eccentric 419, the eccentricity of which is adjustable to vary the throw of the knife. The cutting stroke, transverse to the cigarette-rod, is effected by means of a cam on the underside of the eccentric 419, the cam rocking the lever 441, 442 and through it the knife-shaft housing. This cutting stroke is adjusted by raising or lowering the fulcrum 443 in the bracket 446. The severed cigarette is creased by means of the member 461, 462, Fig. 25; the upper part 462 presses on the cigarette on the forward stroke of the slide 426 and is raised on the backward stroke. Defective cigarettes are thrown into a hopper 518, Fig. 33, and fed by an adjustable forwarding-belt 501 to the cutters 521 having interrupted cutting-edges, the slit cigarettes then falling on to a screen 560, through which the tobacco passes but which retains the paper. The cutters 521 are rotated by means of gearing through a clutch which may be thrown into and out of gear by hand.
