ABSTRACT:
Switching device for switching a flow of cigarettes, transversely aligned with respect to the flow in plants for directly feeding individual cigarettes from and to operating machines. The plant has a compensating device for compensating output unbalances between manufacturing and packeting machines. A conveyor withdraws the cigarettes from the manufacturing machines. The conveyor has a branch leading to the grouping hopper of a packeting machine, and another branch leading to the compensating device. The switching device comprises two arms movably supported at the branching-out zone of the conveyor. The end portions of the arms are shaped so as to define guide surfaces which are parts of corresponding switching paths, and are respectively located on both sides of the cigarette flow.
