ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus for turning (cigarette) packs. Laterally acting driven turning belts (21, 22, 23, 24) serve for turning (cigarette) packs (10) during transport of the packs along a pack track (18). Two pairs of turning belts (21, 22) and (23, 24) act upon lateral regions of the packs (10) which arrive in a position, in which their longitudinal dimension is directed transversely relative to the conveying direction. The turning belts (21, 22) of the one side are driven at a different speed compared to the turning belts (23, 24) of the other side, so that the packs (10) are oriented in an increasingly oblique manner during transport. After the packs (10) have assumed an extreme oblique position, the turning procedure is completed by stationary lateral guides (40, 41) which are disposed so as to converge in the conveying direction.
