ABSTRACT:
A reservoir system for cigarettes and other similar rod-shaped articles comprises a delivery conveyor arranged to convey the articles horizontally towards an inlet to the reservoir; a reservoir conveyor which lies below the delivery conveyor and is arranged to receive a stack of the articles delivered through the inlet and to run, when necessary, in a direction opposite to that of the delivery conveyor; a horizontally movable carriage carrying a movable end wall defining an end of the stack of articles on the reservoir conveyor adjacent to the inlet, and carrying also a sensor adjacent to the inlet which controls the direction (and possibly also the speed) of movement of the carriage; and an outlet for articles at the end of the reservoir conveyor towards which the latter moves.
