  • ABSTRACTl Apparatus for delivering a web of material to a cigarette filter rod machine comprising means for supporting a reel of material from which the web is unrolled, frictional drive means which engage the periphery of the reel to cause it to rotate and a tension device which senses the tension in the web about to enter the filter rod machine, said device actuating means for varying the drive speed of the frictional drive means, to maintain a predetermined tension in the web.
  • the roll of paper is usually mounted on a shaft which is overhung and free running and which is substantial enough to uphold the weight of the reel. But due to this weight and possible increases of weight in the future it places beyond the strength of the material the ability to unwind the reel and not interfere with the base weight of the material which in part is achieved by the crepe ratio therein. Moreover, in addition to the weight, a degree of braking must be applied to the reel to exert control over the reel whilst it is being unwound at speed sometimes in excess of 50 metres per minute. lf the base weight of the paper is subjected to variations in this fashion then the product (filter rods) varies accordingly and may render the filler material unsuitable lto produce a filter of constant filtration effect. This constant filter factor is important in cigarette filter manufacture but if the weight of the reel varies or there is a tugging on the reel as the web of material is unwound from it it varies the tension in the web and so varies-the filter factor. l

  • the cigarette filter rod machine indicated generally by reference numeral 1 cornprises a pair of embossing rollers 2 carried in an embossing head 3 through which a webvof cellulose wadding 4 is passed to a folding and expanding device indicated by reference numeral 5.
  • the gathered web 6 leaving the device enters a bustle 7 thence to filter rod manufacturing apparatus of known kind indicated by reference numeral 8.
  • the apparatus 8, as mentioned above, is of well known kind and will not be therefore described further.
  • the embossing rollers 2 are driven from a power shaft projecting from the filter rod apparatus 8 which carries a drive pulley I0.
  • the drive is transmitted to an infinitely variable drive gear ll through a belt 12, the output from the drive gear 11 passing through a belt 13 to a pulley 14 mounted on a shaft l5 carrying one of thev rollers 2.
  • the speed of drive to the rollers 2 can therefore be varied by operation of the variable speed gear ll. y
  • Apparatus for delivering the web 4 tov the rollers 2 comprises two sets of roller support means 20, 21.
  • Each of the sets 20, 2l includes a reel support 22 which carries a spindle 23 on which the reels indicated by reference numerals 24, 25 can be carried for free rotation.
  • a friction bandv26 is provided which passes around a driven roller 27 carried in uprights 28.
  • the friction band 26 also passes round guide rollers 29, and the roller 27 is driven by a band (not shown) from a drive roller 30.
  • the drive rollers 30 are driven from a power shaft 31 emerging from the filter rod apparatus by means of a belt 32 to a lay shaft 33 and thence through a belt 34 to the input side ofvan infinitely variable gear 35 the drive of which is connected directly to a drive shaft 36 which drive the roller 30 on the unit 20 throughV a bevel gear indicated at 37.
  • the drive continues through a second drive shaft 38 to a second bevel gear 39 for driving the roller 30 on the unit 21.
  • the web of material leaves the reel 24 as indicated at 40 passes around rollers 41 and 42 and rises to a control roller 43.
  • a sensing roller referred to herein as dancing roller 44.
  • This roller 44 is carried on a pair of arms 45 which are pivoted at 46 in supports 47.
  • the axis of the pivot is vertically above the axis of rotation of the roller 43 which is also carrying the support 47.
  • the arms 45 extend beyond the pivot 46 and carry a counter weight 48. From the roller 44 the web 4 leads directly into the embossing rollers 2.
  • the arms 45 which carry the roller 44 are connected to a sensor or potentiometer 49 so that movement of the roller 44 about the pivot 46 is transmitted to the potentiometer 49 which transmit a proportional signal to a servomotor or position controller 50 which controls the output speed of the infinitely variable gear 35.
  • the web from the second reel 25 unwinds at 60 and passes around a roller 61 which is lower than the roller 41 on the uni't20 so that the web 4 from the reel 25 passes beneath the drive roller 30 and roller 41 on unit 20 to the roller 42 and up to the control roller 43 when the reel 25 is being unwound.
  • controls are placed as indicated at 62, 63 on the supports 28.
  • reels 24, 25 are placed in position and the web on the reel 24 is first taken round rollers 4l, 42, 43 and 44 and led into the cigarette filter rod machine.
  • the power drives are now operated so that the embossing rollers draw the web through them and the frictional drive web 26 causes the reel 24 to rotate.
  • a clutch is provided in each of the bevelled gears 37 and 39 so that the reel which is not in use, which in this case is reel 25 can be disconnected from the drive.
  • the tension in the web is sensed by the dancing roller 44 which controls the potentiometer 49 which in turn alters the drive speed of the gear 35 so that a predetermined constant tension is maintained in the web. lt has been found that this allows a higher speed of operation than is usual from a reel of cellulose wadding of large diameter and a filter rod of acceptable standard can be produced.
  • the web, correctly tensioned is delivered to the intermeshing embossing rollers 2 which longitudinally crimp, crepe or emboss the paper web which causes a great degree of fibrilation tooccur.
  • the original width of 250 mm. is now expanded to approximately 290 mm. andthe length also undergoes a similar expansion of about l2 percent dueto the embossing.
  • folding, expanding and gathering device comprises two platens one male and one female and one of which is shown in the drawings, and comprises a base portion 71 in the upper surface of which a number of ribs 72 are formed.
  • the platen which is to co-operate with that shown in the drawings is similar but the grooves and ribs are displaced to those shown so that they can cooperate with them to provide between the two platens a corrugated channel extending longitudinally along the length of the ribs between which the fibrilated web passes.
  • each rib 2 is an isosceles triangle in cross section throughout its length. ⁇ Again, comparison of FIGS. Sand 6 will show that theamplitude of each rib 72 increases but the distance between adjacent ribs decreases from the right hand end of the platen shown in the drawings to the left hand end, this being the direction of movement of the web through the passage formed between the platens.
  • Each rib 72 has two sides 73 the length of each of these sides increasing by approximately 3() percent throughout the length of the rib so that when the two platens are placed in their co-operating positions the tip of a rib 72 on one platen and the tip of a rib 72 on the other platen increases by approximately 30 percent throughout the length of the ribs.
  • the centre rib indicated by reference numeral 74 is i of greater amplitude throughout its length than the ribs to each side of it which decrease in amplitude so that the two outer ribs 75 are only about half the height of the centre rib 74. This provides a desirable expansion of the web width and a gathering of the folds and also places across the centre of the rod a greater amount of filler material which satisfies the filtration requirement and further improves the shape of the rod which is an assistance in the later assembly of the filter into a tobacco rod.
  • the folding device made up from the two platens is arranged in the cigarette filter rod making apparatus immediately after the pair of embossing rollers 2 the web passing from the rollers through the corrugated channel in the folding device and emerging in a folded condition thence passing directly into the bustle 7 to be made into a tow. in a round rodlike form.
  • the machine When the reel 24 is exhausted the machine is stopeed and the reel 25 connected appropriately. Whilst the reel 25 is being unwound the reel 24 can be replaced and ready for operation. As there is provision fortwo reels the machine can be kept in operation with only a slight delay between reels and the operation of loading the reels onto the spindles 23 can take place whilst the machine is in operation.
