ABSTRACT:
In the region of a packaging installation for cigarettes or the like, partially finished cigarette packs (10) have to be transported over relatively long paths and, at the same time, brought into a specific relative position. A horizontal feed conveyor (18), a vertical conveyor (20) and a horizontal discharge conveyor (27) are arranged in such a manner that, not only is the transportation problem solved, but also the desired relative position of the packs (10) is produced. A transfer conveyor (29) deflects the packs (10), takes over the packs (10) from the vertical conveyor (20), moves them along a path in the form of a part circle in translational motion into the plane of the discharge conveyor (27), and transfers them to the latter.
