ABSTRACT:
A hopper for a cigarette making machine comprises means for delivering tobacco continuously into a space defined partly by a spiked drum arranged to carry tobacco continuously from the space and towards a picker roller which removes the tobacco from the spiked drum and projects it into the upper end of a downwardly extending channel in which the tobacco piles up to form a carpet, at least one wall of the channel being movable in order to feed the carpet of tobacco downwards through the channel, and including a conveyor at the lower end of the channel for receiving the carpet from the channel and for feeding the carpet towards a device for forming a cigarette filler stream from the carpet.
