ABSTRACT:
A device for sequentially transferring cigarettes or cigarette pairs from a rectilinear, preferably horizontal path, so-called "longitudinal", along which the cigarettes are moved forward in a file in which they are axially aligned, to a rotary fluted drum with its axis of rotation being parallel to the rectilinear horizontal path, the transferred cigarettes being successively deposited, parallelly arranged side by side, onto the drum in a row, which is transverse with respect to the cigarette file moving along the longitudinal path. The transferring device includes a rotary drum positively driven at a constant speed, onto which there is mounted a number of swinging arms star-like arranged at an equal distance therebetween and carrying each one a suction head for picking up and transferring the cigarettes. The drum has a number of correlated, positively reciprocating separate devices driving each the respective one of the swinging arms, as well as an equal number of like epicyclic trains, regularly arranged in a circle, which are operatively associated with the drum itself so as to evenly entrain every one of the suction heads into a motion of translation along the circular path as established by the drum for the succession of suction heads.
