ABSTRACT:
In a method of uniting axially aligned rod-like articles by wrapping a wrapper section around the junction between the articles, an air flow is used to move the articles into abutment and to axially align them relative to the wrapper section. Principally for use in making filter cigarettes, suction may be applied to the ends of the flutes of an aligning drum which feeds filter portions and tobacco sections onto the rolling plate. The suction preferably moves the filter portion against a stop in its flute, and acts through the filter portion to close up the tobacco section.
