ABSTRACT:
Cigarettes are supplied to a packaging machine by equipment comprising an infeed hopper into which the cigarettes are supplied in bulk, a rotating head providing at least one compartment to accommodate a tote-box type container filled with cigarettes, from which the contents of successive containers are directed toward the hopper, and a passage directly beneath the rotating head admitting a succession of trucks each carrying several of the containers spaced apart at identical distance; the truck is propelled forward intermittently by a drive system, proceeding in discrete steps equal to the distance between centers of the containers in such a way that an elevator can operate during the pauses to shuttle the full and empty containers to and from the head.
