ABSTRACT:
A mobile reservoir system for rod-like articles such as cigarettes in which trays are moved in trolleys and each tray is capable of receiving articles in stack formation from an overhead mass flow outlet at a combined loading/unloading station. The mass flow outlet is closable by a rolling gate closure device. Each tray has parallel compartments for simultaneously receiving batches from streams passing from a producing machine and contains captive platforms movable by drive means at the loading/unloading station to progressively lower the articles into each compartment. Articles may be returned through the mass flow outlet by reversal of the drive means and upward movement of the platform; side bands may engage the articles through slots in the trays to aid this upward movement.
