APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WRAPPING A SHEET OF WRAPPING MATERIAL AROUND A ROD-SHAPED ARTICLE

摘要

Apparatus for wrapping a sheet of packaging material (5) around a rod-shaped article (4) or around a plurality of linearly arranged substantially cylindrical segments comprising at least one brittle segment: - a sheet of packaging material 5 having an adhesive on its outer surface, comprising a rod-shaped article 4 or a plurality of flutes 21 adapted to hold a plurality of linearly arranged substantially cylindrical segments a rotatable drum (2) having a circumferential drum surface (20) comprising attachments (22) arranged between flutes (21) suitable for holding; - a rod-shaped article 4 or a plurality of linearly arranged at a distance from the drum surface 20, in contact with the boundary of the rod-shaped article 4 or a plurality of linearly arranged substantially cylindrical segments Wrapping material around a rod-shaped article 4 or a plurality of linearly arranged substantially cylindrical segments by causing the arranged substantially cylindrical segments to move out of the flute 21 and roll over an outer surface having an adhesive thereon It comprises a rolling device (1) comprising a contact surface (10) for wrapping a sheet (5). At least a portion 101 of the contact surface 10 is resiliently displaceable away from the circumferential drum surface 20 .
