Definitions
- rIhe object of this machine is to produce a simple, cheap, and compact machine for cutting tobacco or other material or materials of any desired neness, so that every small manmanner that foreach revolution of the eccentrios the follower is propelled a certain distance, depending upon the throw of said eccentrics, and an intermittent feed motion is imparted to the tobacco or other material in the box.
- the invention consists, also, in the use of one or more adjustable levers, in combination with the eccentrics on the driving shaft, and with the lever-catch which imparts motion to the follower, in such a manner that by shifting the fulcrum or fulcra of the lever or levers the amount of feed can be regulated and the tobacco or other material can be cnt liner 'or coarser at pleasure.
- the invention consists,also, in combining one or more rising and falling tappets with the ec'- centrics, the lever catch, and the adjustable levers in such a manner that the ends of the levers will strike the tappets and act through them on the lever-catch, whatever the position of their fulcra.
- the invention consists, finally, in the employment or use of a laterally-sliding nut, in combination with the screw-spindle, follower, and box, in such a manner that by imparting to said nut a lat-eral motion the end of the box is thrown open for the purpose of removing the follower and introducing a fresh charge of tobacco or other material to be cut.
- A represents a frame, made of wood or other suitable material, and supported by legs B.
- This frame forms the bearings for the drivingshaft C, to which a rotary motion is imparted by hand or any other competent power.
- This shaft carries the cutter-wheel D, and, if desired, an additional fly-wheel, E, for the purpose of equalizing the motion.
- the cutters a are secured to the wheel D in the usual ymanner, and they sweep down close to the front end of the box F, through which tobacco or other material to be cut is fed to said cutters.
- the number of cutters may be varied according to the size of the cutter-wheel.
- the eccentrics G impart motion to a levercatch, L, which is hinged to the end of the screw-spindle M, and which carries a pawl, c, thatengages with the teeth of a ratchet-wheel, N, secured to the end of said screw-spindle.
- a levercatch, L which is hinged to the end of the screw-spindle M, and which carries a pawl, c, thatengages with the teeth of a ratchet-wheel, N, secured to the end of said screw-spindle.
- the screw-spindle M screws into a nut, P, which is adjustable in a slotted bedplate, Q, so that alateral motion can be given to it whenever it maybe desired to remove the follower or to have free access to the end of the box F.
- the nut Pis secured in its place by a pin, d. It must be remarked, however, that instead of making the nut stationary said nut might be secured to the follower or made a part of the same, and in thisl case the screwspindle would have to be so arranged that it could rotate freely without being allowed to f move in a longitudinal direction.
- the amount of the feed motion, and consequently the iineness of the cut material depends upon the throw of the eccentrics and upon the position of the fulcrum-pins b of the levers H; and by Y changing this pin the fineness of the cut can be varied at pleasure.
- the changes to be effected .in the feed motion may, however, be still further increased by attaching a series of gear-wheels to the end of the screw-spindle, similar to the back gear of a turning-lathe.
- This machine is very simple in its construction, and it will enable every small manufacturer of cigars, or dealer, to cut up his own tobacco to suit himself.
- adjustable levers H in combination with the lever-catch L, eceentrics G, and follower O, constructed and operating substantially as and for the purpose specified.
