ABSTRACT:
Batches of rod-like articles, such as cigarettes, conveyed transverse to the lengths of the articles are transferred, in another direction transverse to the lengths of the articles, to a second conveyor which has a path intersecting that of the first conveyor. The first conveyor may be a band conveyor and may include dividers for forming the batches. The second conveyor may be constituted by a pair of opposed bands having parallel rails for supporting batches. The second conveyor may form or lead to a store for batches. Both conveyors are preferably reversible under the action of a sensor so that batches may be supplied to or withdrawn from the store according to demand in an associated system, e.g. a conveyor system linking a cigarette maker to a cigarette packer.
