ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the formation of cigarette groups consisting of three superposed parallel rows of cigarettes comprising three row-forming stations which receive the cigarettes from passageways connected to a feeding hopper. Associated with each row-forming station there is an intermediate transfer drum which presents a plurality of transfer pockets adapted to receive the rows of cigarettes from the row-forming stations. The cigarettes are then transferred from the pockets of the transfer drums into the receiving pockets of a receiving drum. Each transfer drum supplies to the receiving pockets of the receiving drum a definite row of cigarettes, so that at the end of an operating cycle, the receiving pockets will be filled with three superposed rows of cigarettes. From the receiving pockets, the groups of cigarettes are transferred to a compressor drum, associated with a cigarette packing machine. The transfer drums, the receiving drum and the compressor drum are rotated stepwise in synchronism.
