Cigarettes by means of guidance arrangement for the transport of cigarettes from a cigarette making machine to a the cigarette-packing machine

摘要

The cigarette transfer assembly is provided with a chute adjacent the forward end of the horizontal conveyor in order to permit sliding of the flow of cigarettes and possible misalignment of the cigarettes due to different diameters along the surface of the cigarettes. A reservoir provided for a surplus of fed cigarettes is activated by two switches which are spaced apart to effect a reliable control of the reservoir in response to fluctuations in the flow of cigarettes supplied to the packaging machine.
