ABSTRACT:
The rod-breaking device comprises a deflecting guide movable alternately across the normal straight path of a cigarette rod issuing from a rod-forming mechanism and entering the inlet of a rod-processing unit. The movement of the deflecting guide into active position serves to break the rod by cooperating with a fixed abutment, whereafter the deflecting guide stops in said active position to deflect the following rod out of the normal path. The movement of the deflecting guide into the opposite inactive position serves to break the rod and to bring the said deflecting guide to an inactive position out of the normal path of the rod. A transverse blade is secured on the deflecting guide in such a manner as to move, across the normal path of the cigarette rod, close to the inlet of the processing unit. Upon stopping of the cigarette-making machine the deflecting guide and blade are moved into active position, thus leading to the elimination of a segment of rod delimited downstream by the clean cut effected by the blade and upstream by the break effected by the cooperation of the deflecting guide with the fixed abutment.
