Definitions

  • This invention relates to cigarette rod making machines in general, and more particularly, to an improved tobacco rod former therefor.
  • Yet a further object of the invention is to associate a moving tape with a tobacco rod former, constituting a portion of the wall thereof, so that the shredded tobacco is uniformly packed and of uniform density in the finished cigarette.
  • the cigarette paper band 8 runs over a roller 10 and is carried by an endless forming band 11.
  • the tobacco 1 moves in a channel 12 under a rod former 14, and is compressed in the direction of movement to a crosssection, which is determined by the form of the Walls of the channel 12.
  • the rear-section 20 of the former comprises two wedge-shaped members 22, 23 (Fig. 2), which are connected by a cross plate 24, and are adjustable by bolts 25 in a longitudinal and vertical direction. It is thus possible to adjust, over a wide range, the cross-sectional area of the formed tobacco rod 17.
  • Two side plates 26, 27 limit and define the inner space of the rear-section 20 of the former from the sides. They are screwed to the wedge-shaped members 22, 23, and can, therefore, also be adjusted in a longitudinal and vertical direction. They preferably are so adjusted that their lower edges are close to the paper band 8, and thus prevent any side waste of small amounts of tobacco, which would adversely effect the clean gluing of the tobacco paper on the gluing edge thereof.
  • the lower edge of the crossplate 24, which faces the metallic tape 21, has attached thereto a Wear resisting bar 28 of tough material.
  • tobacco rod forming mean comprising conveyor means for supporting and moving a tobacco carrying strip of cigarette paper along a substantially horizontal path, means defining a drive pulley mounted for rotation on a substantially horizontal axis perpendicular to said path, an :arm, means mounting said arm for pivotal movement about said axis, means for adjusting the pivotal position of said arm, means defining a guide pulley, means mounting said guide pulley on said arm for rotation on an axis parallel with said firstmentioned axis, endless band means trained on said drive pulley and guide pulley and having a bight movable along said path at a distance above :and in the same direction as said strip of cigarette paper, elongated sup port means, means securing said support means to said arm with a lower guide surface on said support means in engagement with the upper surface of said bight of the endless band, means defining a guide member along each edge of said bight, said guide members extending below said support means
