ABSTRACT:
A variable capacity reservoir for cigarettes or similar rod-like articles, in which an helical support surface is reversibly drivable from a storage position, in which it is compactly stored with adjacent helical turns closely spaced, to an operative position, in which adjacent helical turns are spaced apart to allow a stack of the articles to be conveyed. Pairs of pinch rollers engaging the inner edge of the strip are provided for moving the strip. The strip may be made up of a series of substantially annular sections, each of which has been severed along a substantially radial line, and with adjacent sections joined to each other in stacked formation.
