ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for overturning cigarette packs or the like, which are advanced in a horizontal row toward an abutment stop member and must be each capsized around an axis which is transverse to the direction of progress of the row of packs. The device according to the invention is characterized by a pack-guiding arcuate channel extending in a substantially vertical plane at about 180.degree., from a substantially horizontal top opening provided before the abutment stop member and having a width which is at least slightly greater than the extension of a pack in the direction of progress of the pack row, as far as an underlying conveyor for the capsized packs. The pack-guiding arcuate channel has its extrados convex side turned toward the direction of arrival of the pack row, while in correspondence of the opening thereof, supporting teeth that can be elastically opened out are provided, and are adapted for each time supporting the leading pack in the row of packs and for letting it through as a result of a thrust exerted thereon from above by a pusher. Thus, the pack P is dropped into the opening of the pack-guiding arcuate channel and runs along this channel by gravity, with its side that in the overlying row of packs was turned backward, being turned forward, so that it is capsized during its travel along the said arcuate channel.
