This makes it possible to be relatively quick and safe and with little effort to provide coupons.
  • first and second coupon feeders are mutually interchangeable.
  • a particularly preferred one Design is given when a fastening device is provided, by means of which the second coupon feeder, comprising a separating device and possibly the endless strip the separator feeding device, or the first coupon feeder is attachable.
  • the second feed device expediently comprises two Rolls that roll an endless strip from a bobbin and into Feed towards a separator, the endless strip can be cut off in the separating device.
  • the transport device preferably comprises a suction wheel, by means of a coupon in a withdrawal area from the first or the second coupon feeder can be removed, by means of Suction wheel coupons can be transferred to a release position.
  • the one Includes circular motion in one direction of rotation, with the axis of rotation essentially parallel to one through the coupon in the withdrawal area is a defined transport of the Coupons possible. It is expedient to have a first tour in Form a bow guide and a second guide provided to to enable the coupons to be positioned precisely. It is special preferred if the first and / or second coupon delivery device arranged on at least one swivel device is. In this case there is an exchange of the first with the second Coupon feeder and vice versa in simple Way possible.
  • a cutting device is expediently used in a packaging machine the tobacco processing industry for cutting of fabrics that are in a package of rod-shaped Articles of the tobacco processing industry introduced are or can be introduced.
  • a cutting device makes it possible to be reliable and with very clean edges, fabrics in high To provide quantities in short times.
  • Coupons in particular are within the scope of this invention understood two-dimensional blanks with, for example Advertising prints or other motifs are provided and in particular introduced in, for example, cigarette packaging and after opening the cigarette packaging these can be removed.
  • a device for transferring a flat structure is expedient from a fabric stock to a first position a machine of the tobacco processing industry or one Packaging of rod-shaped articles in the tobacco processing industry with a transport device that the fabric of transported the fabric structure to the first position, configured, wherein the fabric supply comprises an endless strip and wherein a separating device is provided, the sheet separates from the endless strip.
  • the endless strip and in particular a bobbin replaces as a fabric stock a magazine with cut flat structures, by arranging the fabrics in particular in a stack are.
  • the facility will be the magazine of the named European Patent Application No. 01 124 660.0 by another Fabric inventory replaced, which is an endless strip, at least partially preferably arranged on a bobbin.
  • a second bobbin is also provided in order to to enable the bobbins to be changed in a known manner, so that cut fabrics can be fed without interruption are.
  • the strips from which the fabrics are cut, connected to each other, where the connected part of the respective strips of the respective Bobbin preferably excluded from the further process steps become.
  • there is in particular a transport device provided this part of the strips in a collection container fields.
  • the separating device preferably enables the Endless strip such that a separating edge with a stacking edge flees.
  • This preferred embodiment of the invention is a replacement or exchange of the respective fabric inventory without further modifications to the transport device and thus possible for the other packaging machine.
  • At this preferred embodiment of the invention means the alignment, that the respective edges in particular match, whereby of course either the stack with its stacked edge on it Location or the tear-off edge of the endless strip. This is particularly in relation to the embodiment gem.
  • European Application No. 01 124 660.0 the applicant noted the location of the stacking edges in order this in accordance with the parting edge or for alignment to bring with the separation edge.
  • the separating device is preferably a cutting device, especially with a fixed knife and a movable one Knife.

  • the separating device and / or the magazine is preferably on arranged at least one pivoting device. If preferred the separating device or the magazine on a swivel device is a simplified attachment option given because so the location of the attachment of the separator or the magazine in a simplified for the operator accessible location can be pivoted. If preferred both devices are each arranged on a swivel device are, it is very easily possible from a fabric stock to move on to the next one. This transition or exchange the fabric inventory can then happen very quickly.
  • the cutting edge would preferably have a leading edge Align stacks of pre-cut fabrics, if in place cutting the fabric, the fabric would be removed from the stack.
  • An embodiment of the method according to the invention is a quick interchangeability possible without the need for the additional packaging machine would have to be readjusted or any conversion work would have to be made.
  • the method is particularly preferred the magazine with the stack of sheets inside replaced by an endless strip and a separator, the exchange is particularly easy then if, as in the preferred embodiment of the procedure The cut edge is aligned with a leading edge of the stack.
