ABSTRACT:
In the production of (cigarette) packs made of blanks of thin cardboard, the latter are delivered as blank stacks, normally stacked on pallets. The blank stacks delivered in this or other ways have to be continuously filled into supply magazines of high performance packaging machines. It is therefore necessary, particularly because of the high working speed of the packaging machines, to mechanize and to a large extent automate the transport of the blank stacks. Transporting blank stacks is quite problematic because of accelerations and decelerations occurring at the same time. The basic embodiment of the invention therefore provides a so-called endless pocket conveyor between a feed station and a supply magazine, the pockets of the conveyor holding a blank stack each and not only transporting the blank stacks but also fixing them in proper stack position during transport so that individual stacks can be automatically pushed out of the conveyor pockets and into the magazine. Insofar as further shifts and intermediate transports are necessary, the invention also provides mechanisms which ensure a transport of the blank stacks without endangering the stack arrangement.
