ABSTRACT:
A mass-producing filter tipping machine wherein two coaxial plain cigarettes of unit length are simultaneously severed to yield pairs of coaxial plain cigarettes of unit length which are moved apart to provide spaces for filter mouthpieces of double unit length. The filter mouthpieces are connected with the respective pairs of cigarettes of unit length by adhesive-coated uniting bands, and the resulting filter cigarettes of double unit length are subdivided into a series of formations of four coaxial filter cigarettes of unit length each wherein first and second outer filter cigarettes are respectively adjacent first and second inner filter cigarettes. Such formations are then converted into two rows of aligned filter cigarettes of unit length by staggering the outer cigarettes relative to the inner cigarettes, by pneumatically moving the thus staggered first outer cigarettes of successive formations into alignment with the second inner filter cigarettes of the respective formations, and by pneumatically moving the second outer filter cigarettes of successive formations into alignment with the first inner filter cigarettes of the respective formations.
