Abstract: A device is provided for assembling article groups from layers of rod-shaped articles used in the tobacco-processing industry. The rod-shaped articles are stacked one above the other and side-by-side in group forming bins that are intermittently movable in a forward direction. A number of funnels are provided that correspond, respectively, to the number of the article layers. Each funnel is divided into chutes. The chutes of each funnel receive the rod-shaped articles at chute inlets and are arranged for dropping the rod-shaped articles to chute outlets to form a layer of parallel aligned rod-shaped articles. A platform is disposed at each chute outlet for receiving the respective layer of parallel aligned rod-shaped articles. The platforms are staggered at successively different heights to define respective layer planes. Transfer push-rods are associated with a respective one of the funnels and are movable in the axial direction of the rod-shaped articles for pushing a respective one of the layers into a group forming bin. Each transfer rod is disposed at a level corresponding to a height of the respective layer plane and has an elongated slot. A phantom article is arranged at one of the chute outlets of each funnel that corresponds to a placement of the elongated slot in a respective one of the transfer push rods. Each phantom article is displaceable crosswise to the axial direction of the rod-shaped articles in the respective layer.

Abstract: Blocks of plain or filter cigarettes are accumulated in at least two group building assemblies each of which comprises at least two block forming units receiving cigarettes by gravity flow by way of upright ducts. The assemblies are adjacent the path of a series of successive receptacles which serve to transport discrete blocks stepwise to a multiple-track packing machine. The units accumulate blocks of cigarettes during intervals which include the duration of at least one stepwise movement of the receptacles and that of at least one period of standstill of the receptacles. Such intervals suffice to ensure satisfactory gathering of cigarettes into blocks of required size and shape at a frequency which is required for full-speed operation of the multiple-track packing machine.

Abstract: A system for delivering rows of cigarettes, each for forming one layer of a bundle of cigarettes to be packed in a packing machine, includes a number of fluted planetary wheels (42) carried by an annular carrier (44) along a path on which cigarettes are picked up directly from the lower ends of channels (40) formed between vanes (38) in the hopper of the machine. The wheels (42) transfer the cigarettes in rows to flute sets (48) on a coaxial drum (46) from which the rows are further transferred to a delivery drum (22). Generally the packing machine includes three such systems, one for each layer of the bundle of cigarettes to be packed. In an alternative system cigarettes forming one row are picked up substantially simultaneously by row carriers (220) mounted on planetary wheels (226) so as to follow an hypocycloidal path.

Abstract: A system for inspecting the ends of cigarettes prior to their packaging on a conveyor line. The system provides telecamera units which produce images of the ends of a group of cigarettes. A processing unit then analyses the brightness level of a given area on each cigarette end. The processing unit then counts the total number of areas having a brightness level within a given range and compares that number with that of a reference end image for determining the existence of defects. An expulsion unit is further provided for rejecting those groups of cigarettes which fall below the requirements of the reference end image.
