Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Making and Inserting Cigarette Mouthpieces.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1899-02-09
Granted: 1899-04-08
Abstract: 2953. Boult, A. J., [Martin, C. R.]. Feb. 9. Cigarette-making machines.-Relates to means for making and inserting cigarette mouthpieces. The mouthpiece is rolled from the end of a paper strip p which passes through a guide b in a feeding-device a. The feeder a moves the strip forward until its pointed end enters between the jaws of the rolling-mandrel e, and the mandrel then grips the paper and rolls up a portion to form the mouthpiece m, Fig. 7. The pivoted jaw 5 of the mandrel is closed on the paper by a ring 11 sliding on the mandrel e and moved by a rod 10 &c. and cam. A spring-pressed plate 13 presses the paper on the mandrel during the rolling. The mandrel stops while the paper is cut off by a pivoted cutter d, a second cutter c at the same time cutting the end of the strip diagonally to form the pointed end, shown in Fig. 6, for the next mouthpiece. The mandrel then rotates until the mouthpiece is completely rolled up. The ring 11 then moves forward, releasing the paper from the jaw 5 by moving off the shoulder 12 of the jaw, and then pushing the mouthpiece into the end of the cigarette, which is held in place by any suitable means. The spindle carrying the mandrel e is rotated by gear-wheels from a mutilated toothed wheel, and is locked while at rest. The sliding feeder a is moved, to carry the end of the strip into engagement with the jaws of the mandrel, by a lever and cam, and the strip is gripped during this feed movement by a pivoted spring clamp which presses it against a plate. At the end of the forward movement, the clamp is operated to release the strip by engaging a fixed projection. As the feeder a returns, the clamp will act as a brake upon the paper as it is being rolled up to form the mouthpiece.

Title: Improvements in Insulating Tubes for the Windings of Electric Machines such as Motors and the like, and in the Process of making same.
Inventor: MEIROWSKY MAX
Filed: 1902-04-22
Granted: 1902-06-19
Abstract: 9325. Meirowsky, M. April 22. Armatures. - Relates to the manufacture of insulating-tubes for the windings. A plate or strip of suitable material is pressed, by means of a mould and mandrel, in such a manner that the longitudinal edges overlap each other and will gape when free of the press, so that the spool or bobbin can be readily inserted and the tube then closed by overlapping the edges. The overlapping parts may be bevelled, so as to produce a tube of uniform thickness. When the plate or strip is composed of a number of thin strips, the bevelling may be effected by shifting the same in the direction of their breadth ; in this case also the several thin strips are cemented together and the plate or strip thus formed is enveloped in a cover impermeable to liquid, such as parchment or lead foil, for preventing the outward spread of the cementing-material during the forming in the mould. Fig. 4 shows a suitable form of tube for the winding of a drum armature, the overlapping edges g, h being bevelled. Figs. 5 and 6 show modified forms of overlapping edges. Suitable materials for making the plates or strips are mica, or mica and fibrous material, or fibrous substances such as paper, textile fabric, asbestos, " press pan," vulcanized fibre, or the like ; shellac may be used for cementing the thin strips together.
