ABSTRACT:
A cigarette reversing apparatus with a rotating drum having radially extending slots of a width slightly larger than the diameter of a cigarette and of sufficient depth, each slot having at its opposing surfaces a pair of cigarette holding members spaced from each other a distance slightly smaller than the cigarette diameter, these pairs of cigarette holding members being arranged on the circumference of the drum. The cigarettes are fed onto the cigarette holding members and guide elements bring the longitudinal center of the cigarette to the circumference of the cigarette holding members; arcuate guide members provided along the outer circumference of the drum guide the free end of the cigarette so as to turn the cigarette about the point held by the cigarette holding members. A retrieving member takes out the cigarettes from the rotating drum.
