ABSTRACT:
In apparatus for forming batches of cigarettes on a conveyor in which a divider plate is projected upwards into a stream on the conveyor a movable control plate is arranged in engagement with the upper surface of the stream in the region where the major part of the upward movement of the divider plate occurs. This plate has an ironing action on the stream and helps control and prevent misalignment of the uppermost cigarettes as the divider plate rises. A principal use for batch-forming apparatus of this type is with tray filling devices which transfer cigarettes into trays by successively plunging batches from a conveyor.
