摘要： Cigarette filter rods having individual pellets positioned at predetermined intervals therein are prepared by cutting a strand of plasticized material into pellets which are then inserted into a web of filter tow. A wheel having a series of grooves is rotated within a rim-like housing, and introduction of a plasticized flavor-containing strand into each groove results in a cutting of the strand into pellets of the desired size. Each pellet is positioned within the moving web of tow. The web filter material and the pellets positioned within the web are introduced into a rod-making unit wherein the rod is formed. The rate of feed of the strand, the rate of feed of the filter tow, the rate of rotation of the grooved wheel and the rate of pellet formation are controlled relative to one another such that pellets of well controlled size are positioned at predetermined intervals along the rod. Cigarette filter elements having well controlled amounts of flavorant contained therein can be made from the rods.

摘要： An improved machine for automatically applying transfers such as tax stamps to multiple packages contained in a carton is disclosed. The machine comprises a conveyor for advancing a carton through an opening station, where it is opened to expose the packages therein, through a stamping station, where tax stamps in the form of heat or water transfers or ink printing are applied to each of the packages by a movable platen, and through a closing station where the carton is closed and resealed. The machine is adjustable to accommodate a variety of carton and package sizes and to apply the transfers to a selected part of each package in the carton accurately, while using stock transfer sheets on which the transfers are mounted with a predetermined spacing that does not necessarily correspond to the spacing of packages within the carton. The various sizes are accommodated by means of an adjustable stop mechanism which interrupts the motion of each carton as it passes through the stamping station to thereby stop the carton at a selected location with respect to the transfer sheet and the stamp transfer platen. After the transfer has been applied, the stop mechanism is activated to allow the carton to continue its motion through the stamping station. The adjustable stop and the platen are shiftable laterally with respect to the stamping station to apply selected transfers from the transfer sheet to the packages in the carton, and the stop is adjustable with respect to the platen to apply the transfers to selected locations on the package.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种改进的机器，用于将诸如税票的转移自动应用于纸箱中包含的多个包装。 该机器包括一个输送机，用于使纸箱通过开放站，通过打印站打开以将其中的包装曝光通过冲压站，其中以热或水转移或油墨打印的形式的税券被施加到每个包装 通过可移动的压板，并且通过关闭工位，纸箱被关闭并重新密封。 该机器是可调节的，以适应各种纸箱和包装尺寸，并将转印准确地应用于纸箱中的每个包装的选定部分，同时使用以不一定对应的预定间隔安装传送装置的转印纸 到纸箱内的包装间距。 各种尺寸通过可调节的停止机构来容纳，当每个纸箱通过冲压站时中断每个纸箱的运动，从而使纸箱相对于转印纸和印模转印板在选定的位置停止。 在传送之后，停止机构被启动，以使纸箱能够继续通过冲压站的运动。 可调节止挡件和压板可相对于冲压站侧向移动，以将选择的转印件从转印片材施加到纸箱中的包装上，并且止动件可相对于压板进行调节以将转印件施加到包装上的选定位置 。
