ABSTRACT:
A device for supplying cigarettes (5) to a packaging machine is provided with a rotary head (3) for tipping containers (4) full of cigarettes (5) into a tank (6) whose base is formed by an upper branch (38) of a conveyor (7) for supplying a continuous flow of cigarettes (5) to the packaging machine. After each container (4) has been emptied and while it is being replaced by a new container full of cigarettes (5), the branch (38) of the tank base is raised by a displacement device (47-49) provided with an alternating vertical movement such that the mass of cigarettes (5) is raised towards the mouth of the tank (6) and consequently such that there is a reduction of the jump performed by the cigarettes (5) at the moment of opening of the base of the new container (4) for its discharge into the tank (6).
