ABSTRACT:
A trimming device for trimming a cigarette filler stream in a cigarette making machine comprises two cooperating disc assemblies (2,3) arranged to rotate at equal speeds about laterally spaced axes (4,5) and including discs (11,12) from the respective assemblies which overlap to trim the filler stream at a first trim level and are formed with cut-outs (15) in their peripheries which register during rotation of the disc assemblies so as to allow additional quantities of tobacco to project through them to form cigarette dense end portions of the filler stream, the two disc assemblies including additional discs (16,17) arranged to cooperate so as to trim away, at a set level in relation to the first trim level, excess quantities of tobacco projecting through the cut-outs (15).
