ABSTRACT:
A stream of tobacco particles which is built at the underside of the lower reach of an endless foraminous belt conveyor is trimmed to remove the surplus, and the resulting filler is draped into a web of cigarette paper while advancing through a wrapping mechanism. In order to reduce friction in the wrapping mechanism, the stream is shaped, at least in part, to assume a cross-sectional outline conforming to that of the wrapped filler. Such cross-sectional outline can be imparted by the conveyor and/or by the trimming device. The web of cigarette paper is also shaped on its way toward the wrapping mechanism to assume the shape of a trough.
