  • Figs. 5 and 6 show, schematically, the drive mechanism of the machine of Figs. 1 and 4.
  • a transfer drum indicated generally by the reference numeral 10, rotatably mounted upon a shaft 11.
  • the drum formed with pockets loaded with shufi'led groups of filter elements 12,,is rotated in the direction shown by the arrow.
  • composition or structure of thefilter elements does not form a part of the present invention, it is deemed sufiicient for purposes of explaining the present invention to state that a typical shuflied or assorted group of elements disposed in a given pocket 15 may consist of elements labelled A (designated by dash shade lines) and elements labelled B (designated by the substantially continuous shade lines) as shown in Fig. 1.
  • each pocket 15 contains 3 A elements and 3 B elements, alternately arranged.
  • the filter groups 12 composed of alternately arranged elements A and B are deposited sequentially upon a receiving member or trough 13 by a cam actuated discharge bar or ejector 14.
  • a shoe 15a prevents the elements from falling out of the drum prematurely.
  • the shoe terminates in a lip 15b which acts as a sidewall for the trough.
  • the discharged group of filter elements are received in a recess 16, having a generally semi-circular configuration in cross section, formed in the trough.
  • a longitudinal slot 17 communicating with the recess 16 provides sliding clearance for lugs 18 pivotally mounted to a link chain 19.
  • the chain and lugs act as a sweeping means or a conveyor and operate in timed relationship with respect to the rotational speed of the drum 10 to clear the trough of each group of elements after the group is deposited therein.
  • the lugs 18 move the groups of elements to the left as viewed in Fig. 1 into a collector tube 21, sometimes referred to hereinafter as a collector means, where the groups of elements are accumulated in abutting relationship as is apparent from the portion of the tube broken away in Fig. 1. 1
  • the abutting elements form a continuous line of elements advancing to the left as the lugs 18 intermittently, but continuously, sweep new groups of elements into contact with a group previously swept into the tube.
  • the full length of the tube 21 is provided with an elongated slot 22 communicating with the interior of the tube and provides clearance for the lugs 18 and a one-way clutch means indicated generally by the reference numeral 23.
  • the one-way clutch 23 consists of a link chain 24 carrying pawls 26.
  • the pawls are provided with an inclined face terminating in a knife edge 27.
  • the knife edges 27 act to preclude motion of the continuous line of filter elements to the right. For the present, it is sufficient to say that if one were to slide the continuous line of filter elements A and B to the left (Fig. 1) relative to the knife edges the elements would meet with no resistance and would readily slide over the pawls. In contrast, however, if one undertook to move the line of elements to the right the knife edges, by virtue of their sharp points, would lightly indent, cut or nick the elements providing sufficient resistance to stop motion in that direction.
  • a conventional paper wrapping attachment indicated generally by the reference numeral 28 into which a continuously advancing ribbon of cigarette paper 29 is introduced, suitably backed up or supported by an endless belt 31 in well known fashion.
  • the reference numeral 32 designates a glue applicator for sealing the paper into a continuous tube about the continuously advancing filter elements thereby developing a composite rod.
  • the reference numeral 33 indicates the fully enclosed package of continuously advancing filter elements defining an endless rod while the reference numeral 34 denotes a well known cutter device operative to cut the continuous or endless rod into predetermined lengths.
  • the filter plugs must be supplied at the same rate at which they are converted into rod.
  • This adjustment is usually accomplished by operating the wrapping portion of the machine at a linear velocity substantially equal to the product of the number of groups of elements being advanced linearly by the sweep means per unit of time multiplied by the length of each group.
  • the garniture tongue is formed with an internal taper which presents a gradually decreasing diameter and thus develops a gradually increas ing frictional resistance to the advancing line of filter components.
  • the lugs 18 on the sweep chain 19 are usually spaced apart a distance in excess of the length of a given group of filter elements dropped from the drum 10. Thus, the push of the lugs 18 upon the column of elements is intermittent and there is a space or gap between adjacent groups of elements initially swept into the tube 21.
  • the one-way clutch means 23' is provided. Through suitable gearing the chain 24 carrying the knife edges 27 is driven in the direction shown by the arrow at a speed which is substantially the same as the speed of advance of the paper 29.
  • the drum and the sweep chain 19 are geared to provide filter elements in sufficient quantities to produce a continuous line of abutted elements with little or no compressing or spacing
  • the chain 24 is geared to move along with the line of abutted elements.
  • the knife edges 27 carried by the chain are effective to resist and check the motion by virtue of the friction between the knife edges and the exterior surface of the elements.
  • the clutch means insures a continuous line of elements being fed into the wrapping machine and further insures the production of filter rods having no spaces or gaps between elements.
  • the column of filter elements is free to overtravel the clutch chain to the left.
  • the lugs 18 are propelling the groups of elements to close thegaps between groups, the elements move momentarily at a speed in excess of the speed of the clutch chain in the region of the right end (Fig 1) of the chain..
  • a rotating disk-likeknife 37 mounted on a rotating head 38 is provided for cutting the rod into lengths as it emerges from the wrapping unit of the machine.
  • a reference to Figs. 5 and 6 illustrates the manner in which synchronization is accomplished between the cutting element 37 and the supply drum 10.
  • a motor M is connected by means of suitable belts and gearing to rotate cutting head 38 at a predetermined speed.
  • power from motor M is supplied to differential D and thence to gear box G.
  • Shaft 39 emerging from the gear box is drivingly connected to shaft 11 carrying the supply drum 10.
  • shaft 42 supplies power to shaft 43 inturn operative to drive one-way clutch means 23 and sweep chain 19; the connection between one-way clutch means and the sweep chain being accomplished by transmission chain 44.
  • the differential D is manually adjustable.
  • the differential it is possible to advance or retard the supply of the shufiled groups of filter elements (and thus advance or retard the advances of the finished rod) with respect to the cutting element to insure cutting the rod into predetermined lengths at a predetermined point with respect to a particular element contained in the rod.
  • the differential adjustment it is entirely possible by means of the differential adjustment to make the cut in the continuously advancing rod at a point corresponding to the junction between filter elements A and B or at the midpoint of element B or at any desired point with respect to the composition of the continuous rod that may be desired.
