ABSTRACT:
A cigarette pack accumulator assembly utilizes a rotating pack accumulating drum having a plurality of cigarette pack accumulating columns equally spaced about its periphery. Each such column guides a pack support pedestal for movement either downwardly during pack accumulation, or upwardly during pack discharge. A lead screw is rotatably supported within the accumulator drum and can be driven at varying speeds and directions to either raise or lower the pack support pedestals. Packs of cigarettes may be removed from a production line and accumulated, they may be stored, or they may be removed from the accumulating columns and returned to the production line.
