Definitions

  • an impact surface is placed in the path of the deliveryair, which impact surface corresponds to the length of the spreader rollers.
  • These surfaces are preferably reciprocated transversely to the longitudinal direction of the rollers varying the tobacco receiving space of the spreader.
  • the surface may, however, be curved in such a way that the tobacco particles which arrive thereon are flung off downwards at an angle of dispersion, and this angle can be so adjusted that it covers the entire surface in question of the tobacco spreader.
  • Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan. I
  • Figs. 3 and 4 are detailed views.
  • the current of air carrying thetobacco is conducted into the separator 2 by means of the pipe 1. Between the pipe 1 and the separator '2 there is inserted a funnel-shaped member 3, the wide end of which is directed towards the separator 2.
  • a metal plate 4 which extends over the entire width of the separator.
  • the horizontal part 4 of which overlaps the upper end 3 of the wide end of thefunnel-shaped member there are attached two pins 5 which are passed into slots 6 of the upper wall 6 of the separator.
  • the upper end of the pins 5 serve as pivots for the connecting rods 7, the otherends of which are pivotally attached to the crank pins 8 of discs 9.
  • the discs 9 are mounted onashaft 10 which is mounted in a bearing 11. The latter is attached to a projection 12 of the distributor.
  • On the shaft 10 there is also mounted a sprocket wheel 13 which is driven by a chain 14.
  • a distributor 15 of triangular cross section On the metal plate 4 there is also attached a distributor 15 of triangular cross section, the deflecting sides of which are concave as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 are, respectively, sections on the lines 33 or 44 of Fig. 1.
  • the on-coming tobacco first of all impinges on the distributor l5 and is thereby distributed over the entire plate.
  • the distributor member 15 In order that the distribution of the tobacco may be asuniform as possible, it is absolutely necessary that the distributor member 15 should be exactly in the middle of the oncoming stream of tobacco. As shown for instance in Fig. 2, the pipe 1 may, however, be curved before it discharges into the distributor 2. In this casethe stream of tobacco would not be directed towards the middle of the tobacco distributor if the latter were exactly in the middle of the separator. vNow in order. in such cases to make it possible for the distributor member 15 to be located exactly in the middle of the oncoming stream of tobacco it is arranged adjustably on the plate 4. For this purpose the plate 4 is provided with a transverse slot 1'? through which the adjusting screw 18 of the distributor member 15 protrudes.
