ABSTRACT:
An adhesive spray delivery apparatus and a method of applying a predetermined quantity of anchoring adhesive in a predetermined spray pattern to an advancing web of cigarette paper are disclosed. The apparatus includes a pressurized spray system under control of a programmable controller for precisely and uniformly applying the adhesive in an atomized spray to the advancing cigarette paper, thereby eliminating the need to increase the density of the tobacco rod at discrete intervals of the rod to compensate for a significant volume of loose ends. The apparatus is portable and may be retrofitted to existing cigarette makers.
