Improvements in or relating to Machines for Making Cigarettes
and Cheroots.
A communication by ADOLPH MOONELIS, of 143, Avenue D, New York, in the
County and State of New York, United States of America, Manufacturer.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described.
and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This invention relates to the manufacture of all tobacco cigarettes, that is to say,
cigarettes which employ tobacco fillers and tobacco wrappers in contradistinction
to the ordinary paper wrapper cigarettes.
The invention consists essentially of what is termed a terminal apron on which
the filler is rolled and which delivers it in a rolled condition to the wrapper
proper for its reception with means for operating said terminal roller from the
rear end so as to produce the necessary and desired tension on the apron; the
invention also consists in an improved form of wrapper delivering carrier whereby
the wrapper is carried towards the filler in a horizontal direction and then dropped
into position at the moment the filler is ready to be encased within it and a pasting
device consisting of a brush which is brought into contact with the outer edge of
the wrapper at the proper moment and held in contact with the same by the
retreating wrapper carrier in such a manner that, as the wrapper carrier leaves the
wrapper, it will press slightly upwardly against the wrapper and its pasting brush
so that the extreme edge will be fully gummed; the invention also consists in an
improved cutting device whereby the butts are severed from the cigarette and
delivered in a proper manner to a receptacle and having means for mutilating
the butt ends of the cigarette so that they can be utilized for fillers.
Although the invention is described as particularly applicable to a cigarette
machine, yet with slight modifications it can be applied to the manufacture of
cheroots, and wherever in the Specification the word cigarette or cigarette machines
is used, it is to be understood that the inventor contemplates applying the same
methods and devices to the manufacture of cheroots and desires that his claims
should be construed as covering such a mechanism.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form
Specification
a
part of this
Figure I represents a plan view of the improved cigarette machine. In this
figure, the machine is shown in its normal position ready for operation; but before
initial movement has been given to any of the working parts.

shows the machine in a position of rest.
This also
Figure III is a longitudinal section on the line a, b, Figure I, looking in the
direction of the arrow. In this view, the pocket in the apron is shown filled with
the tobacco for the cigarette filler. This position is termed the first position.
Figure IV is a similar longitudinal section. The machine is now in operation,
and has assumed what will be termed the second position.
Figures V and VA are detail views; the first showing the wrapper holding
plate as having moved forward after the wrapper has been pasted, and Figure VA

Figure XV is a cross section of the gum box.
Figure XVI is a detail view of the mechanism for taking up the slack of the
apron.
Figure XVII is a similar view of the same mechanism in its other position.
In describing these drawings and the machine, reference will be made to the
front of the machine as being the left in Figure I and the rear of the machine at
the right. At 1, is shown a belt or apron which is termed a "terminal" belt or
apron in contradistinction to an endless belt or apron. This apron 1 is permanently
attached at the rear end of the machine to a roller 2 as shown in Figure III, and
at its forward end it is attached to the permanent table 3 also shown in Figure III.
Between its two terminals it is adapted for a considerable portion of its length to
lie upon the table 3, and between the rear end of the table 3 and the roller 2 it is
arranged over a travelling roller 4. Between the travelling roller 4 and the rear
end of the table 3, the apron is adapted to be depressed for the purpose of forming
a pocket or receptacle 5 for the filler 6. The travelling roller 4 is mounted upon
arms 7 at both ends; the latter are journalled to levers 8. The arms 7 are adapted
to turn relatively to the levers 8 and are for the purpose of directing the move-
ments of the travelling roller 4. The travelling roller is also provided with
downwardly extending arms 9 which are swivelled to longitudinally travelling
guide plates 10, said guide plates moving in guides 11 of the frame 12. These
guide plates can be seen in longitudinal sections and more particularly in the end
view, Figure XIII.
Levers 8 at their lower ends are mounted upon and rigidly secured to a vertically
sliding and rotating shaft 13. This shaft is adapted to move in guides 14 of the
frame 12. The shaft 13 also carries arm 15 likewise rigidly secured thereto,
which arm is in contact with the cam 16, the latter being mounted upon the main
shaft 17. As the main shaft rotates carrying the cam 16 with it, the cam 16
bearing against the face of the arm 15 and the arm 15 being fixedly secured to the
shaft 13 which carries the levers 8, the levers 8 will be compelled to travel
forward towards the front of the machine carrying the arms 7 and travelling
roller 4 with them. This movement will cause the apron 1 to be folded upon itself
and the parts will gradually assume the second position-the position shown in
Figure IV, as the slides 10 will be compelled to travel rearwardly drawing the
arms 9 and 7 downwardly, so that the roller will be pressed against the table 3,
and the apron 1 will be folded over upon itself as shown in Figure IV enclosing
the cigarette filler 6 in a loop.
A spring 18 shown in Figures IV and XIII is provided for withdrawing the
arm 15 and its connecting parts to their normal position after the operation
described and to be described hereinafter.
As before stated, the rear end of the terminal apron 1 is mounted upon a roller 2.

page_text: This roller is provided with a toothed wheel or pinion 19, see Figures XVI
and XVII. This pinion 19 is provided with a pin 20. At 21, is shown an arm
having a slot 22 forming a guide way for the pin 20. The arm 21 is provided with
a rack 23 which intermeshes with and is adapted to operate the ratchet wheel 19.
The lower end of the arm 21 is provided with legs or fingers 24 which straddle the
main shaft 17, and is also provided with a pin 25 adapted to be operated upon by a
cam 26 fixedly secured to the main shaft 17. It will be seen by referring to
Fres XVI and XVII that, as the shaft 17 rotates, the cam 26 will bear against
thin 25 and cause the arm 21 to gradually travel upward, thereby moving the
a23 in a like direction and causing the rack 19 to rotate and wind up the
al apron I upon the roller 2.
te
The object of this construction is to provide means for tightening or taking up the
slack of the terminal apron as the filler is being rolled, for it will be remembered
that the apron is fixedly secured at its forward end to the table 3 and means are
thus provided for drawing it taut from the opposite end of the machine and taking
up all the unnecessary slack during the operation of the rolling of the filler, so
that, by the time the parts have reached the position, to wit, the second position
shown in Figure IV, the apron roller 2 and the apron will have reached the
position shown in Figure XVII and the apron will be drawn as tight as possible,
thus securing a compact filler before its introduction upon the
wrapper.
spring 27 is shown in Figure XVII for withdrawing the arm 21 to its normal
position after the pin 25 has passed beyond the cam 26.
A
The wrapper delivering contrivance will now be described, which is as
follows:-
At 28, is shown a travelling table or plate fixedly secured to a bar 29 by means
of pins 30. This plate travels on tracks 31 and the bar 29 is journalled in levers 32,
the levers 32 being provided with slots 33 so as to accommodate a slight vertical
movement of the said arms upon the bar 29. The vertical levers are two in number
and extend downwardly and are connected at their lower ends by means of a cross
bar 34, which cross bar extends through semi-circular slots 35 in the frame 12. The
levers are pivoted at 36 to the frame 12 and are provided with a rearwardly extending
arm 37 which straddles the main shaft 17 and is provided with a pin 38 which
travels upon a cam 39 fixedly secured to the main shaft 17. These parts are
retracted to their normal position by a spring 40.
The table or plate 28 has hinged to it at 41 a wrapper receiving plate 42. The
wrapper receiving plate is kept normally in a horizontal position as shown in
Figure 1 by means of an auxiliary horizontally moving plate 43 having a
downward extending lug 44. The auxiliary plate 43 is supported in guides 45
depending from the main plate 28 and likewise from the wrapper receiving plate 42.
Pins 46 and 47 are provided on the main frame in the line of travel of the lug 44
of the auxiliary plate.
As the shaft 17 rotates in the direction of the arrow in Figure III and the
cam 39 which is fixedly secured thereto likewise revolves, the said cam will bear
against the pin 38 of the arm 37 and cause the lower ends of the vertical levers 32
to move forward and the upper ends of said levers to travel backward. This
movement will cause the plate 28 and the parts secured thereto to likewise move
backward. When the lug 44 of the auxiliary plate has reached the pin 46, the
further movement of said plate will be arrested, but the main plate 28 and the
wrapper carrying plate will still continue to travel backward until the hinge has
reached the back end of the auxiliary plate. When the parts have reached this
position, they are at the extreine end of the stroke of the wrapper receiving plate
which will suddenly drop carrying the wrapper 48 already placed thereon with it.
The parts have now reached the position shown in Figure IV, to wit, the second
position heretofore referred to.
The inproved gumming box and pasting contrivance will now be specifically
described. In Figure XV is shown a detail view of the gum box. The gum
box 49 is mounted upon the main frame and is provided with a ribbed feeding

page_text: roller 50. At 51 is shown a plate that may form one side of box 49, and which,
by means of screws 52 passing through said plate and entering the ends of box 49,
can be adjusted back and forward relatively to the ribbed feeding roller so as to
regulate the supply and discharge of the gum. By the adjustment of this plate 51,
the space or orifice between the plate and the roller is enlarged or decreased. The
roller is provided with a shaft or journal 53, said shaft having mounted thereon
outside of the gum box a ratchet wheel 54 (see Figure XIV). At 55 is shown a
dog or pawl intermeshing with said ratchet wheel and turning it and the roller.
The dog 55 is mounted upon a lever 56, the latter being loosely mounted upon the
shaft 53. A vertically moving arm 57 is provided, which works in guides 58 of
the main frame 12 (see Figure I) and which bears against the underside of the
lever 56 and is adapted to raise the same periodically, thus rotating the ribbed
feeding roller 50 in the gum box 49. This arm 57 is, at its lower end, connected
to and is operated by the lever 59. This lever 59 is pivoted at 60 to the main
frame 12 and is provided at its other end with roller 61, which roller bears upon
and is adapted to be operated by the large cam 62 mounted upon the main shaft 17.
A spring 63 is adapted to retract the above parts to their normal position.
At 64 is shown a brush for carrying the gum from the gum box to the
wrapper. This brush is mounted upon an arm 65, the said arm being adapted
to travel in a guide or way 66 of the semi-circular cam 67. The arm 65 is
mounted upon the vertically moving rod 68, and the latter is provided with a
pin 69 which extends into a slot 70 of the lever 59, so that, as the lever 59 is
raised and lowered by means of the cam 62, the pin 69 will cause a like vertical
movement in the vertical rod 68 and this in turn through the medium of the
arm 65 will cause a movement in the brush 64. This movement is at first
angular in a direction toward the wrapper as shown in Figures V, VA, and then
vertical until the brush reaches the position shown in Figure IV, to wit, the
second position hereinbefore described. At this point, the brush is delivering
the gum or paste to the wrapper 48 and near the forward longitudinal edge of
said wrapper.
It will now be seen that the filler has been rolled; that the wrapper has
been brought backward to a point where it can receive the filler and that the
forward longitudinal edge of the wrapper has been provided with paste or gum,
all of which movements have been explained in connection with Figure IV,
which, as before stated, shows these parts in what is termed the second position.
What has been termed the third position will now be described. This position
is shown in Figure V. As will be seen by referring to Figure IV, the cam 39
is passing away from the pin 38 of the lever 37. Thereupon the spring 40 will
draw upon the lever 32 and cause an immediate withdrawal of the upper end
of said levers carrying the plate 28 with its attached auxiliary plate 43. The
wrapper receiving plate will be thus withdrawn from the wrapper without being
lifted. The parts have now reached the position shown in Figure V, to wit,
the third position. At this point the lug 44 comes in contact with the pin 47
upon the main frame and causes the further movement of the auxiliary plate 43
to be arrested. The main plate 28 with the wrapper receiving plate will however
still continue to move forward, but, owing to the stoppage of the auxiliary
plate 43, the wrapper receiving plate will be lifted, causing the said wrapper
receiving plate to press against the wrapper just as it is leaving it and force
it against the paster. This position is shown in Figure VA and is termed the
fourth position. This special operation is of particular value for the reason
that the wrapper will receive its full quota of gum or paste at the extreme
edge, and avoids the danger of depositing too much paste upon the wrapper, a
drawback obtaining in many machines now in use.
The fifth position, shown in Figure VI of the drawings, will now be described.
The travelling roller 4 has been thrown forward to its extreme position by
reason of the cam 16 pressing against the arm 15. In this position, the apron 1
is drawn taut, the pocket or filler receptacle 5 being stretched as shown, and,

page_text: as the cigarette has been already rolled and wrapped in the passage from the
position shown in Figure VA to the position shown in Figure VI, it drops by
gravity upon what is called a cutting table 71. This cutting table has an arm 72.
having a finger 73. These parts are mounted upon shaft 74 hung in the main
frame 12. At the outer end of the finger 73 is journalled a lever 75. The lever 75
is provided with a pin 76, the lever straddling the main shaft 17 and the pin 76
being operated by cam 77 fixedly secured to the said shaft 17, the operation of the
parts being that, when the cam 77 bears against the pin 76, the lever 75 will move
upwardly and forwardly and cause the cutting plate 71 to turn or tilt upon the,
axis 74. The cutting table is provided with a cutter 78 at its rear end, said cutter
being semi-circular in shape and pointed at its upper end, and, as it travels.
backward with the cutting table, will grasp the cigarette if the said cigarette is
still attached by reason of any intermediate gum to the terminal apron, and this.
position is shown in detail in Figure VII and is what is termed the sixth position.
A further movement of the above parts will cause the cigarette to be pressed
against the stationary cutters 79 suitably supported in the main frame and at
opposite sides of table 71, which form complementary cutters to 78. This is the
seventh position and is shown in detail in Figures VIII and IX, the cutting
table 71 having been tilted over so as to form a line parallel with a chute or
shed 80. As soon as the butts of the cigarette are severed from the cigarette
proper, the said cigarette will slide down the table 71 and chute 80 into the
receptacle 81.
Further, in addition to the cutters 78 and 79, a knife or knives 82 are provided,
which cut the wrapper of the protruding butts and permit the contained filler with
the said severed wrapper to separate freely. This inaterial forms the waste from
the cigarette and is delivered into chutes 83 and receptacles 84 arranged upon
both sides of the machine as shown in plan view in Figure 1. The fixed knife 79
is provided with a stop 79ª which serves to strengthen the cigarette while being
cut and ensure the butts being completely mutilated.
A modified form of the above machine is shown in Figures XVIII to XXXIII
inclusive.

In the accompanying drawings showing the modified form of the invention, the
numeral 1 indicates the frame of the machine which may be of suitable construction,
and 2 is the main shaft of the machine hung in suitable hearings in the latter,
which shaft will be driven by suitable means, say, by a belt passing over pulley 3
on said shaft (see Figure XXI). 4 is a suitable rolling table upon which a
suitable belt or apron 5 is placed in which a cavity 6 is adapted to be formed to
receive the loose tobacco for the filler. The opposite ends of the table 4 may be
inclined downwardly as shown and the apron or belt 5 secured at one end thereof
by suitable means (see Figure XXII). The opposite end of the apron or belt 5 is
preferably adjustably supported, being shown attached to a shaft or roller 7 hung
in suitable bearings on the frame 1.
The roller 7 is preferably hung eccentrically and provided with means for
turning it so as to take up slack in the apron 5 to thereupon partially roll the
cigarette filler 8 as hereinafter specified. By having an eccentric roller 7, the
slack in the apron will be taken up quickly to partly roll the wrapper upon
the filler. The roller 7 has been shown as provided with gears 9 that are adapted
to mesh with a toothed rack 10 carried by an arm 11 hung on a pivot 12 carried
by frame 1. The arm 11 or its pivot 12 is firmly connected with an arm or lever 13
to which is pivotally connected a rod or bar 14, which at its lower end is forked to
straddle the shaft 2 and carries a roller 15 to be acted upon by a cam 16 on said
shaft for the purpose of moving rod 14 longitudinally. A spring 17, connected
with frame 1 and with the lever 13 or other part with which it operates, acts
against the cam 16 in giving proper motion to rod 14 and the rack 10. With this
construction, as the rack 10 oscillates the roller 7 will be turned to draw upon
apron 5 to partially roll the cigarette filler, and when turned in the opposite
direction provides slack by which the cavity 6 in the apron can be formed.
12 is a bunching roller or bar extending across the apron 5 and adapted to be
moved forward to roll the cigarette filler in the cavity 6 of the apron. The
bunching roller 18 is shown connected at opposite ends with arms 19 that are
- pivoted to slides 20 carried in suitable guides or ways 21 in frame 1 to permit them
to slide longitudinally of said frame 1. The bunching roller 18 is also connected
by links 22 with levers 23 that are attached to shaft 24 journalled in suitable
bearings in the frame 1, the links 22 being pivoted on the levers 23. Upon the
shaft 24 is secured an arm 25 by which said shaft is rocked to swing arms 23 for
the purpose of moving buuching roller 18 over table 4 for rolling the cigarette
filler thereupon. The arm 25 is shown pivotally connected with a rod 26 (see
Figure XXIII) whose forked end is shown straddling shaft 2, a roller 27 carried
by arm 26 engaging in a groove 28 of a cam 29 on shaft 2, whereby the rod 26, in
conjunction with a spring 30 connecting a lever 23 with a suitable part of the
frame 1, acts to move levers 23 and thereby the bunching roller 18 to and fro.
Figure XXIII, the bunching roller or bar 18 and its connecting parts are shown
in the normal positions, a filler 8 being placed in the cavity 6 of the apron 5.
In

page_text: When the levers 23 are first moved to the right in Figure XXIII, the bunching
roller 18 is brought toward the forward end of table 4, whereby the slides 20 are-
pushed along their grooves 21 so that the mouth of the pocket 6 can be partially
closed upon the filler 9 as, in Figure XXIV, whereupon a wrapper 31 is placed
into the cavity 6 to be engaged by the filler as indicated in Figure XXIV so that.
the wrapper can be rolled upon the filler.
The wrapper 31 is delivered to the cavity 6 by means of a reciprocating wrapper
carrier 32. The wrapper carrier is made in two parts, 32, 32, hinged together
at 33 whereby the part 32 can descend to deliver the wrapper to the filler (see
Figure XXIV). The wrapper carrier 32 is supported in guides 34ª carried by the
frame 1 so that it may have a to and fro motion, the part 32ª being wider than the
part 32 and entering the grooves 34, whereby the part 32 of the wrapper carrier
is permitted vertical movement upon its hinge 33. The part 32 carries on its under-
side a projection 35 adapted to ride upon inclined ways or guides 36 when the
wrapper carrier is drawn away from proximity to the cavity 6 on the apron so as to
lift said part 32° to carry it upon a line with part 32" as in Figure XXXIII..
The ways 36 lead to the groove 34, at which point a switch 37 is located and
adapted to be raised by the part 32° of the wrapper carrier to permit the pro--
jection 35 to enter the groove .34, said switch 37 constituting a movable lower-
portion to the groove 34 to permit the wrapper carrier to pass forward properly
through said groove when the parts are in the position shown in Figure XXXIII..
The passage of the projection 35 beneath the switch 37 to enable it to enter.
groove 34 is indicated in Figure XXXI.
Upon the portion 32 of the wrapper carrier is located an oscillating wrapper
holder 38 adapted to be automatically moved from the position shown in
Figures XVIII, XIX and XXII to the position shown in Figures XXIII,
XXIV, XXVI, XXIX, XXXI and XXXII to hold the wrapper upon the
portion 32b of wrapper carrier 32. For the purpose of turning the wrapper 38 into.
the several positions mentioned, there is secured to its pivot or shaft 39 the crank
arm 40 having roller 41 adapted to bear upon a semi-circular incline or other
suitably shaped ridge or projection 42 carried by frame 1, whereby, as the wrapper
carrier 32 is moved forward toward the cavity 6 of the apron, the wrapper holder 38
will be lifted and swung over forward to rest upon the wrapper as in Figure XXIV,.
and, when the wrapper.carrier moves in the opposite direction, the wrapper
holder 38 will be lifted and moved back into the position shown in Figure XXII
to enable another leaf to be placed in position upon the forward portion of part 32.
of the wrapper carrier 32. By this means, the wrapper is securely held upon the
wrapper carrier as it is moved forward to receive the filler. 43 is a suitable guide.
upon the portion 32 of the wrapper carrier 32 whereby the operator can be
enabled to properly place the wrapper in position thereupon. The wrapper
carrier 32 is given a reciprocating motion along its guides 34 by suitable mechanism,
in the drawings being shown pivotally connected by links 44 with levers 45 secured
to a shaft 46 suitably journalled in the frame 1. The shaft 46 in Figure XX is.
shown provided with an arm 47 pivotally connected with an arm 48 having one end
forked to straddle the shaft 2 and carrying a roller 49 that is acted upon by cam 50.
on said shaft, whereby suitable motion will be imparted to shaft 46 and through
levers 45 and connected parts to the wrapper carrier 32.
The paster is applied to one side of the wrapper 31, while the parts are in the
position shown in Figures XXIV, XXI, and XXX and before it has been rolled
upon the filler 8. To properly apply the paste, a suitable brush 51 is provided
that is normally in contact with a roller 52 located in and suitably journalled on a
paste receptacle 53 carried by supports 54 extending from frame (see
Figure XXI). The roller 52 is rotated by a belt 55 passing over a pulley 56 on.
shaft 2 and over a pulley 57 on shaft 58 of roller 52 as shown. The brush 51 is
suitably adjustably carried by a shaft 59, journalled on an arm 60 projecting from a
vertically sliding guide rod or frame 61 carried in bearings 62 on frame 1. The
rod 61 is moved up and down by a cam 63, on shaft 2, acting on a roller or the:

page_text: like 64 carried by an arm or extension 65, secured to rod 61, the lower end of said
arm or extension 65 being forked or slotted to straddle shaft 2 to guide rod 61 as in
Figure XIX.
The shaft 59 is turned or oscillated as rod 61 moves up and down to carry the
brush 5 from roller 52 to the wrapper beneath, and vice versa, to apply paste to
said wrapper, and for this purpose, shaft 59 is shown passing through a vertical
slot 66 in a suitable guide 67 carried by frame 1, whereby brush 51 can be brought
to its proper positions. 68 is a spring connected with shaft 59 and arm 60 (or other
suitable part) and adapted to turn shaft 59 when it is depressed, to carry brush 51
into position to apply paste to the wrapper (see Figure XXIII). The shaft, 9,
carries an arm 69 shown at substantially right angles to brush 51 that engages a
projection 70 on guide 67, so that, when shaft 59 rises from the position shown in
Figure XXIII to that shown in Figure XX, the contact of arm 69 on pro-
jection 70 will turn said shaft to carry brush 51 into contact with paste roller 52.
When haft 59 descends, arm 69 passes from projection 70 to enable spring 65 to
turn shaft 59 into the position shown in Figures XXIII, XXIX and XXX to
apply paste to the wrapper.
71 is an arm connected with shaft 59 and extending substantially parallel to
brush 51, and in position, when the brush 51 is lowered, to be engaged by an
arm 72, or an adjustable abutment 73 thereon (see Figures XXIX and XXX)
which arm 72 is connected with the lever 23 that actuates the roller 18. The
arrangement is such that, when brush 51 has been brought to bear on the wrapper
and the roller 18 advances to roll the filler 8, the arm 72 will push arm 71, and
thus pass brush 51 over the edge of the wrapper, whereby paste will be applied to
the wrapper evenly, as by a wiping motion, the brush 51 then rising to the normal
position (Figure XX) while the filler is rolled and wrapped. At about this time
the wrapper carrier 32 recedes or moves to the right in Figure XXIV, and, to
relieve it from the pressure of holder 38, the roller 41, connected therewith, engages
an incline 74 shown connected with guides 34 (see Figures XVIII and XXV) and,
by riding up on the same, lifts holder 38 from the wrapper so that the latter will
not be dragged from beneath the filler.
After the filler has been rolled and wrapped, its ends are to be cut off uniformly,
and for this purpose it is delivered from the rolling apron 5 to a pair of properly
spaced stationary cutters 75, suitably carried by frame 1 (see Figures XXVI
and XXVII). The cutters 75 are shown substantially hook-shaped to receive in
their concave recess the cigarette as it is delivered from the rolling apron, whereby
it is supported by said cutters. 76 are quick acting oscillating cutters, arranged
in pairs corresponding to cutters 75, located between and contiguous to the said
cutters, and coacting therewith. The cutters 76 are carried by a shaft 77,
suitably journalled in frame 1. To shaft 77 is secured a crank arm 73, pivotally
connected with a rod or crank 79, whose lower end is forked or slotted to straddle
shaft 2, the rod 79 carrying a roller 80, that works in a suitable groove 81 in a
cam 82 on shaft 2 (see Figure XX). A spring 83ª connected with crank 78 and
with a suitable part of frame 1 acts with cam 82 in oscillating shaft 77. The
arrangement of these parts and the acting contour of cam 82 are such as to give
the knives 76 a quick movement forward to cut or trim the ends of the completed
cigarette held by stationary cutters 75.
This quick movement of cutters 76 not only trims the ends of the cigarette
but carries the latter forward and deposits it upon an inclined chute or way 83
suitably supported by frame A in proximity to cutters 75 (see Figures XXII
and XXVIII).
It is desired to give the complete cigarette a final rolling after it is trimmed,
and for this purpose a reciprocating rubber or rolling block 84 is provided that
fits in or upon the chute 83, and is adapted to bear upon the cigarette 8 therein
(see Figure XXVIII). For the purpose of properly guiding the rubber 84, it
rests upon the sides 85 of chute 83, the forward sides of said chute being cam-like
or bevelled upwardly and forwardly at 86 so as to tilt' or oscillate the rubber 84 as

page_text: it travels to and fro (see Figures XXII, XXIV and XXVI). The rubber 84
carries at its forward end a pivoted collector or finger 87, adapted to drag the
cigarette along chute 83 to straighten it relatively to the rubber 84 so that it will
lie true under the latter. The rubber 84 is pivotally connected with an arm or
lever 88 that is jointed to a crank 89 on a rock shaft 90 suitably journaled in
frame 1. The shaft 90 also carries a crank arm 91 pivotally connected with a rod
or link 92, that is forked or slotted at its forward end to straddle shaft 2 (see
Figure XXIX). The rod 92 carries a roller 93 that bears on cam 94 carried by
shaft 2 whereby proper motion is imparted to shaft 90. A spring 95, connected
with frame 1 and with shaft 90, say, by an interposed crank arm 96 on the latter,
coacts with cam 94 to give proper complete motion to shaft 90. As the shaft 90
is rocked by cam 94, the rubber 84 will be moved up the inclined side 86
of chute 83 to receive the cigarette 82 between said rubber and said chute,
whereupon it will be finally rolled, and delivered from chute 83 into another
chute 95 (see Figure XXVIII) from whence it will be conducted to a suitable
receiver.
It will be understood that the several cams and connecting arms and levers
can be modified from those shown to produce the various movements in the
several parts at the desired times, and that the driving and actuating parts can
be changed as may be found suitable without departing from the spirit of the
invention.
It will be understood that the wrapper intended to be used in the machine is to
be cut from a leaf of tobacco and may be suitably treated or worked to render it
pliable and adapted to be rolled upon a filler within the cavity of an apron. The
operation of this modified form of the invention is as follows:-
The parts being in the position shown in Figure XXII, a wrapper or leaf 31 is
placed upon the part 32 of wrapper carrier 32, and a filler 8 in cavity 6 in
apron 5.
The machine being started, the wrapper carrier 32 travels forward (or
to the left in Figure XXIII) whereupon the incline 42, acting on roller 4 and
arm 40, causes the wrapper holder 38 to be brought over (see Figure XXXII)
to rest upon the wrapper 31 (see Figure XXIII). When the projection 35 on the
wrapper carrier passes from the inclined part 36, the hinged portion 32" of the
wrapper carrier will descend and pass the projecting edge of the wrapper 31
into the cavity 6 (see Figures XXIV and XXIX). The bunching roller 18, now
being moved to the right in Figure XXIV. by the action of levers 23, pushes
slides 20 along their grooves, and thus the roller or bar 18 is held near the end of
the rolling table 4. The filler 8 now rests upon the part of the wrapper in the
cavity 6 of the apron. The roller 7 is now turned to draw upon the apron 5, and
take up the slack, while at the same time the movement of the apron will partly
roll the wrapper about the filler as in Figures XXIV and XXV. When the
wrapper 31 is brought to the cavity 6, the rod 61 descends to lower the. paste
brush 51. As the latter descends, its arm 69 passes from abutment or pro-
jection 70, and permits the spring 68 to turn shaft 59 and thus carry the brush 51
to the vertical position, whereupon it will be brought against one side or edge of
the wrapper 31 as in Figure XXIV. As bunching roller or bar 18 advances and
reaches the proper position, the part 73 will engage the arm 71, and by pushing
the same will move the brush 51 along the wrapper, and thus apply paste to the
latter by a wiping motion, this being permitted by the rotativeness of shaft 59.
The brush 51 and connected parts will next rise and return to their normal positions.
The wrapper carrier will now recede, and in doing so, the roller 41 will engage the
extension 74 and thus lift the holder 38 from the wrapper 31 (see Figure XXV)
leaving the wrapper partly rolled around the filler 8, as shown. As the wrapper
carrier continues to recede, its projection 35 engages the incline 36 and while riding
up the same lifts the switch 37 to permit the part 32 of the wrapper carrier to
return to the normal position.
While the wrapper carrier is receding, as stated, (or otherwise if desired) the
bunching roller or bar 18 will move along the rolling table 4 and thus roll the

page_text: filler 8 within the wrapper, and the previously applied paste on the latter will hold
the wrapper in position. When the bunching roller 18 reaches the forward end of
table 4, the slack in the apron will be fully taken up, whereupon the now complete
cigarette will be deposited upon the stationary cutters 75, as in Figure XXVI.
The bunching roller 18 may now quickly return to the normal position to enable
another filler to be placed in the cavity 6 of the apron, while the moving
cutters 76 will be brought forward with a quick chopping action to cut or trim the
projecting ends of the cigarette, in conjunction with the stationary cutters 75
(see Figure XXVII).
This sudden motion of the cutters 76 acts to cause the cigarette to pass to the
chute 83. The rubber or rolling block 84 now receives the cigarette beneath it
and begins to descend, whereupon the finger 87 will act to straighten the cigarette
in the chute. The rubber 84 now presses upon and rolls the cigarette to press out
imperfections, &c., and to give it a satisfactory finish. The cigarette then passes
to the chute 97 and is conducted away.
It is evident that the exact times of movement of the several parts of this
machine can be varied from those mentioned above, the idea being to have the
several parts so co-act that loss of time in the returu movements of the parts will be
avoided. Thus it occurs that while the bunching roller 18 is rolling the cigarette
and returning a wrapper 31 can be placed on the carrier 32, and the latter can then
quickly begin to move.
Although a brush has been shown for applying paste, it is evident that any other
suitable carrier adapted to transfer paste from the receptacle to the wrapper can
be used, and when the word "brush is used in this Specification, any paste
carrier is included.
