ABSTRACT:
Cigarettes are grouped into multi-layer blocks for packaging by the serial delivery of the plural cigarettes comprising the individual layers into cells of a conveying system from a magazine having an outlet for each layer. The magazine outlets are offset in the direction of movement of the cells and in a direction transverse thereto. A stationary retaining member, which extends into the cells through slots provided in the cells, contacts and thus holds the uppermost layer of cigarettes transferred from the magazine into the cells, the retaining member being provided with a step and a tongue-like extension at each magazine outlet downstream of the first outlet, the bottom of the stepped portion of the retaining member and the top of the tongue defining a cigarette layer receiving opening.
