ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching filter tips to cigarettes is disclosed. The device comprises a rotatable grooved drum provided with a plurality of peripheral recesses each adapted to hold an assembly consisting of a double length tip component and two axially aligned cigarettes disposed to abut against respective end surfaces of the tip component, a feeder to feed successive connecting sheets each provided with an adhesive coating on one surface to overlie the respective recesses in the grooved drum. The sheets each extend asymetrically of the center of the respective recess with the coated surface facing outwardly of the drum. Such assemblies are successively urged into respective recesses as the grooved drum rotates and the respective connecting sheets are thereby partially wrapped around the peripheries of the respective assemblies. Guide means are mounted in such juxtaposed relationship with the periphery of the grooved drum that, as the grooved drum rotates, a free end portion of each connecting sheet is so folded by interaction with the guide means as to cause the one surface of the free end portion to be disposed in mutually facing relationship with the peripheral surface of the grooved drum. The partially wrapped assemblies are then successively ejected from the recesses of the grooved drum each to be received by the respective recess defining means of further carrier means, which is displaceable in co-ordination with the movement of the grooved drum. Each recess defining means of the further carrier means is adapted to press the free end portion of the respective connecting sheet against the respective assembly.
