Abstract:
1,212,058. Feeding tobacco. JAPAN MONOPOLY CORP. and MURAKAMI SEISAKUSHO K.K. 2 Dec., 1968 [2. Dec., 1967], No. 57138/68. Heading A2C. A cut tobacco feeder for feeding an even layer of tobacco on to a conveyer band, comprises a first conveyer band forming the bottom of a storage chamber and so running under the lower end of an inclined second conveyer band which runs upwards from the first band and forms one side of the chamber, such that, in use, a first layer of tobacco remains on the first band, the second band having needles on its surface, at least one levelling roller positioned above the upper part of the second band to level the tobacco thereon, and a roller adjacent the top of the second band for picking up tobacco so as to cause this tobacco to fall on the first layer to form a second layer. Figure 1 is a sectional view of the feeder wherein first conveyer 3 carries tobacco along and under the inclined conveyer 7, which conveyer carries tobacco upward. A thrusting roller 10 levels the tobacco on this band and breaks up any lumps, and thus tobacco passes under a levelling roller 11 before being picked off this conveyer by roller 13. The picked-off tobacco falls into shoot 14 and then forms a second layer on top of the first layer on band 3. These layers may be removed from band 3 by suction means.
