ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for converting two parallel files of coaxial cigarettes into a single row of parallel pairs of coaxial cigarettes has a guide which delivers the two files of cigarettes from a twin cigarette maker and a first rotary conveyor with arms for pairs of flutes each of which removes a pair of coaxial cigarettes at a first transfer station. The pairs of cigarettes are transported, without a change of orientation, to a second transfer station between the first rotary conveyor and a second rotary conveyor. The latter has a first set of flutes at its peripheral surface and a second set of flutes on pivotable levers which can pivot the flutes of the second set away from and back toward the peripheral surface of the second conveyor. One flute of each pair of flutes on the first conveyor delivers a pair of cigarettes directly into a flute of the first set, and the other flute of each pair of flutes on the first conveyor delivers a pair of cigarettes into a flute of the second set. The flute of the second set is then pivoted toward the peripheral surface of the second conveyor and comes to rest between two flutes of the first set. The first conveyor transports pairs of cigarettes in a vertical plane.
