摘要:
A mass-producing filter tipping machine wherein two coaxial plain cigarettes of unit length are simultaneously severed to yield pairs of coaxial plain cigarettes of unit length which are moved apart to provide spaces for filter mouthpieces of double unit length. The filter mouthpieces are connected with the respective pairs of cigarettes of unit length by adhesive-coated uniting bands, and the resulting filter cigarettes of double unit length are subdivided into a series of formations of four coaxial filter cigarettes of unit length each wherein first and second outer filter cigarettes are respectively adjacent first and second inner filter cigarettes. Such formations are then converted into two rows of aligned filter cigarettes of unit length by staggering the outer cigarettes relative to the inner cigarettes, by pneumatically moving the thus staggered first outer cigarettes of successive formations into alignment with the second inner filter cigarettes of the respective formations, and by pneumatically moving the second outer filter cigarettes of successive formations into alignment with the first inner filter cigarettes of the respective formations.
摘要:
A device for axially displacing cigarettes arranged side by side in two substantially parallel rows traveling routes substantially perpendicularly in relation to the cigarette axes; which device includes an input roller and an output roller arranged parallel with each other and designed to feed the cigarettes along routes which are separated by a given distance in a direction parallel with the axes of the cigarettes and, for at least one of the aformentioned rows, comprises a roller mounted for rotation about an axis inclined in relation to the axes of the input and output rollers; at least one of the rollers being an adapted roller having seats for cigarettes, each of whose seats is formed on a support designed to swing in a radial plane of the adapter roller and about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the adapter roller.

A turn around device that is designed for changing two side-by-side parallel rows of filter tipped cigarettes, which are formed by a succession of parallel pairs of co-axial cigarettes (S1, S2) with their filters in facing relation, into only one row of parallel cigarettes (S1, S2') with their filters being oriented in the same direction, comprises two fluted, conical, suction, turn around drums (5, 6), of which one takes the cigarettes (S2) forming one of the two cigarette rows, and lays them in a turned around position, i.e., rotated by 180.degree. about a transverse axis thereof, between the cigarettes (S1) of the other cigarette row. Between the point at which the cigarettes (S2) to be turned around are withdrawn, and the first turn around conical drum (5), and between the second turn around conical drum (6) and the point in which the turned around cigarettes (S2') are laid, intermediate transfer device (10, 24) are interposed, consisting of a conical transfer drum (10) and a cylindrical transfer drum (24), of which at least one determines an axial cigarette displacement being adapted for counterbalancing the axial displacement as determined by the conical transfer drums, whereby the turned around cigarettes (S2') will be laid and positioned into alignment with the not turned around cigarettes (S1).
摘要:
THIS DISCLOSURE RELATES TO A DEVICE FOR CUTTING A SINGLE ROW OF TWO AXIALLY ALIGNED CIGARETTES HAVING AN INTERPOSED DOUBLE LENGTH FILTER PLUG IN HALF TO FORM TWO ROWS, EACH ROW BEING FED TO A GROOVED DRUM, TWO GROOVED DRUMS BEING USED TO SPACE AND OFFSET THE SEVERED CIGARETTES. THE DRUMS ARE MOUNTED TO ROTATE FREELY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ABOUT A COMMON AXIS AND ARE SPACED LONGITUDINALLY FROM EACH OTHER, THE DRUMS HAVING A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF GROOVES. A TURN AROUND DEVICE IS COUPLED TO PICK UP THE CIGARETTES OF ONE ROW, TURN THEM AROUND, AND THEREAFTER POSITION THEM BETWEEN THE CIGARETTES OF THE OTHER ROW.
