I, FREDERICK GIESLER LLOYD of N° 29 Farringdon Road in the County of
Middlesex, Tobacco Manufacturer of the Firm of Messrs Sales, Pollard & Co do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS
to be as
FOR PACKING TOBACCO AND SUCH LIKE MATERIALS IN PAPER PARCELS
follows:-
In the Specification No 2365 of 1880 is described a machine for packing
filamentous substances and the like in paper parcels. My invention relates to an
improvement in such machines having for its object to facilitate and render more
certain the feeding of the paper wrappers and of the material which they have to
enclose, which I effect in the following manner. I provide an endless chain of
buckets or open frames which is made to advance intermittently through the space
of a bucket at each movement. Attendants place on these buckets the paper
wrappers, and other attendants place on each of the wrappers the desired quantity
of tobacco, or Buch other substance as may have to be packed. Each bucket is
made with sides sloping down to an opening at the bottom sufficiently large for
the passage of the pressing plunger, so that as each, bucket with its paper and
charge coines over the die of the machine, the plunger descends and pushes it
through the opening at the bottom of the bucket into the die, where the charge is
compressed and has the paper folded over its sides and ends in the manner
described in the said Specification N° 2365 of 1880. In order to ensure that the
paper and its charge shall not be displaced laterally or obliquely when the plunger.
descends, I provide that the two ends of the paper shall be held between two
sliding pressers attached to the sides of the plunger pressing the paper down and
two approximately balanced fingers pressing the paper up, these fingers yielding
downwards as the plunger descends.

I, FREDERICK GIESLER LLOYD, of No 29 Farringdon Road in the County of
Middlesex, Tobacco Manufacturer of the Firm of Messrs Sales, Pollard & Co do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS
FOR PACKING TOBACCO AND SUCH LIKE MATERIALS IN PAPER PARCELS" and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
.
In the Specification No.2365 of 1880 is described a machine for packing
filamentous substances and the like in paper parcels. My invention' relates to an
improvement in such machines having for its object to facilitate and render more
certain the feeding of the paper wrappers and of the material which they have to
enclose, which I effect in the following manner. I provide an endless chain of
buckets or open frames which is made to advance intermittently through the
space of a bucket at each movement. Attendants place on these buckets the paper
wrappers, and other attendants place on each of the wrappers the desired quantity
of tobacco, or such other substance as may have to be packed. Each bucket is
made with sides sloping down to an opening at the bottom sufficiently large for
the passage of the pressing plunger, so that as each bucket with its paper and
charge comes over the die of the machine, the plunger descends and pushes it
through the opening at the bottom of the bucket into the die, where the charge is
compressed and has the paper folded over its sides and ends in the manner
described in the said specification N° 2365 of 1880. In order to ensure that the
paper and its charge shall not be displaced laterally or obliquely when the
plunger descends, I provide that the two ends of the paper shall be held between
two sliding pressers attached to the sides of the plunger pressing the paper down
and two approximately balanced fingers pressing the paper up, these fingers
yielding downwards as the plunger descends.
The accompanying drawings shew those parts of the packing machine 'described
in the Specification N° 2365 of 1880 to which my present improvement relates,
that is to say Fig. 1 is a side view partly in section, Fig. 2 is a transverse section
and Fig. 3 is a part plan of the chain of buckets and parts appertaining thereto.
N is part of the wheel having dies or moulds M and folding covers P arranged as
shewn in Fig. 3 of the drawings annexed to the Specification N° 2365 of 1880,
and operating as described in that Specification. B B are the buckets according
to my invention jointed together by links so as to form'a chain which, while the
wheel N is turned partly round in the direction of the arrow na distance from
one mould M to the next in order at each movement, is caused to travel in the
direction of the arrow b a distance from one bucket B to the next in order, so that
always while the wheel N and the bucket chain rest, there is one of the buckets B
centrally over one of the moulds M, and the plunger L then descending, forces the
contents of the bucket B down into the mould M where it is packed as described
in the Specification above referred to. I make each bucket B as shewn with an
opening through the bottom and with sloping sides, the one side extending higher

page_text: than the other and both having, at their upper edges, lips which serve as gauges
for the piece of paper that is laid into the bucket to receive the tobacco or other
material that is to be packed. To the sides of the plunger L I fit sliding pressers C
which having their ends projecting beyond the plunger in descending first reach
the paper in the bucket B. The ends of the paper are thus gripped between the
points of C and the ends of levers D, so that the paper is prevented from being
displaced when the plunger L descends to press it and its contents into the mould.M..
Each of the levers D carries a counterweight E and has an arm from which hangs
another weight F.. It has also on it a cam plate G, and is limited in its stroke by
stops H.
As the wheel N revolves, one of the folding covers P acting on the
cam plate Graises the lever D which is then held up against the upper stop H by
the weight F. The plunger L then begins to descend and its pressers C. grip the
paper between them and the levers D. As the plunger L continues to descend
the levers D yield to it and finally when the arm which carries the weight F
passes the vertical centre line, the levers D release the paper; the plunger L and
pressers C rise and the wheel N makes a partial revolution and the packing is
completed as described in the Specification above referred to.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim, in respect of apparatus for packing tobacco and such like materials in
paper parcels, is
1. In combination with the intermittently moving mould wheel N and plunger L,
an intermittently moving chain of buckets B having open bottoms and sloping
sides, substantially as described.
2. In combination with the mould wheel N, chain of buckets B and plunger L,
the sliding pressers C and levers D, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth.
