ABSTRACT:
A reservoir for rod-like articles such as filter plugs comprises a lower hopper section for the curing of the filter plugs, an overlying upper buffer section in which the freshly produced filter plugs accumulate up to a predetermined maximum level, and elevator belts for feeding the freshly produced filter plugs into the reservoir in a zone which is located intermediately between the lower curing hopper and the upper buffer section. A substantially horizontal cover plate is movable, at the interior of the buffer section of the reservoir, in response to the variations of the level of the filter plugs in the buffer section. Suitable limit switches are operatively associated with the movable cover plate, and control the operation of the filter making machine and the delivery apparatus which receives the filter plugs from the bottom of the lower hopper section and conveys same to further processing.
