Definitions

  • nis invention is for improvements in or relating to cigarette making machinery and relates more particularly to a tobacco feeding apparatus wherein a feeding roller is located within the base of a hopper and is adapted to feed tobacco to a combing roller which automatically carries the same beneath.
  • the tobacco In cigarette making machines of the continuous rod type, the tobacco is placed in a hopper from which it is automatically fed by means ofcarded rollers to the rod forming mechanism of themachine, and it is found in practice that with tobaccos of different consistencies the cigarettes produced are liable to vary between wide limits, due to the fact that some tobacco has a preponderance of long shreds of tobacco, whereas in other tobaccos the presence of short shreds is more marked.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide means whereby a more or less sub 'stantially constant ratio is maintained throughout-the rod betweenthe short and long shreds of tobacco present in the rod produced by the machine.
  • the present invention consists of a tobacco feeding apparatus of the type referred to wherein the tobacco is fed to a combing roller by a carded feeding roller soarranged within the 'basejof' a hopper that short shredg of to bacco are permitted to pass between the carding on the feeding roller into a trough from which they are automatically conveyed and smooth feeding roller is replaced by a carded feeding roller or rollers, wherein the cards on the upper surface of the said roller or rollers are directed awayfrom the surface of the combing roller and" the combing roller is.
  • the feeding roller and combing roller are separated from one another and the shortshreds of tobacco are permittedto fall between the same down an inclined chute into a trough in which is arranged to rotatea worm feed which moves all the shorts to one end of the said trough.
  • the shorts are thereafter automatically removed from the end of the trough and-carried upwardly and delivered to an auxiliary hopper located above the main hopper which is.
  • the said apparatus is so co'nstructed th'at the length of the line along which the short shreds are fed varies directly with the quan tity of short shreds fed to the apparatus.
  • the auxiliary hopper preferablycomprises a trough having a rotatable worm operable to feed short shreds of tobacco, fed to one end of the trough, along the entire length of the trough so as toenable the sameto fallv in a shower through a discharge opening formed in one side of the trough.
  • the discharge opening is preferably constructed in such a manner-thatasthe worm feeds the to .ba'cco'along thetrough some ofthe tobacco is conveyed up the side of the trough; and is allowed to slide down the same under the force of gravity,'through the discharge open-* ing forinedby two overlapping portions of the side wall of-the' trough.
  • the discharge opening is formed adjustableso asto regulate the thickness ofthe 'showerof tobacco which falls therefrom.
  • the f-eed'end of the trough is-preferably 'ar ranged so that the short shreds "of tobacco are always fed to that side of the hopper where the moving web of cigarette-paper leaves the filling trough of the same.' f
  • a pressure roller 7 presses down the layers of tobacco on the distributor roller and-the tobacco is removed from the surface of thecarded distributor by another picker roller 8 and falls down the chute 9 on to the cigarette'paper.
  • the carded feeding roller 2 and the comb- 3 are spaced apart sufliciently to allowthe short shreds of tobacco to fall downwards into the tray or chute 10.
  • This chute leads into atrough 11 in which a worniconveyor 1'2is.mounted: As theworm rotates the short shreds are-fed along toan inclined.
  • t0bacc0 shreds of tobacco tofall means for receiving 1 12 5 thereto and spaced therefrom to permit short f thefalling shredsand distributing them-uniforinly' over the tobacco'carried by the comb ing roller, said means comprising a trough disposed below the rollers, a hopper arranged above the rollers and having a discharge open ing therein extending in a direction substantially parallel to the axes of the rollers, and aconveyor for transferring the tobacco from said trough to said hopper.
  • the combination with a combing roller, of a carded feeding roller for feeding tobacco thereto and spaced therefrom to permit short shreds of tobacco to fall means for receiving the falling shreds and distributing them uniformly over the tobacco carried by the combing roller, said means comprising a trough disposed below the rollers, a hopper arranged above the rollers and having a discharge opening therein extending in a direction substantially parallel to the axes of the rollers, said discharge opening being adjustable in width, and a conveyor for transferring the tobacco from said trough to said hopper.
  • a combing roller adapted to receive and transfer long shreds of tobacco only, of a carded roller for delivering tobacco to said combing roller, and means for conveying short shreds of tobacco from said card'- ed roller and depositing the same uniformly on the combing roller and over the long shreds carried thereby.
