ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for the production and packaging of cigarettes. In the production and packaging of cigarettes, the capacities of, where appropriate, several cigarette-producing machines (10, 11, 12) have to be coordinated with the productive capacities of, where appropriate, several packaging machines (13, 14). The cigarettes (15) are conveyed directly from the cigarette-producing machines to the packaging machines by means of cigarette conveyors. A cigarette store (16) for compensating differences in output is located in the region of the conveying zone. The cigarette store (16) makes it possible to achieve closer matching to the productive capacity of the coupled machines by avoiding the use of the conventional blind-end store. The cigarette store (16) is designed as a continuous-flow store in the form of a circular ring, to which the cigarettes delivered by the cigarette-producing machines (10, 11, 12) are fed at various locations, particularly in the region of entry stations (37, 38, 39), and from which cigarettes are extracted in the region of extraction stations (40, 41) for further conveyance to the packaging machines (13, 14). In the region of the closed cigarette store (16) in the form of the circular ring, a storage stream (43) is constantly conveyed in one direction and, thus, fed to the extraction stations (40, 41). The cigarette store (16) allows close matching to differences in output both in the feeding and in the extraction of the cigarettes. Furthermore, a careful treatment of the cigarettes is ensured by avoiding the effect of a blind-end store.
