ABSTRACT:
The form of a moving stack of cigarettes or other rod-like articles is improved (so that it more closely resembles a compact honeycomb formation) by subjecting the stack to transverse (periodic) displacement in a direction parallel to the lengths of the cigarettes. In order to displace the cigarettes without drag the surfaces which cause the displacement are moved at about the same velocity as the stack. In one arrangement these surfaces comprise bands alongside the stack and are displaced by reciprocating plungers. In another arrangement the bands are displaced by rotary cam surfaces.
