Abstract

Ein Zigaretten-Magazin (11) als Teil einer Zigaretten-Verpackungsmaschine besteht aus einem oberen Vorratsbehälter (12) und mehreren Schachteinheiten (15) zur Entnahme von Zigaretten-Gruppen (16). Mit Abstand oberhalb der Schachteinheiten (15) ist innerhalb des Vorratsbehälters (12) eine quergerichtete Kontrolleinheit (24) aus einer Mehrzahl von Kontrollschächten (25) für den Durchtritt von einzelnen, aufeinander folgenden Zigaretten (10) gebildet. Der Inhalt der Kontrollschächte (25) wird erfasst, derart, dass bei einer Unterbrechung des Durchflusses an Zigaretten (10) auf Grund einer beispielsweise querliegenden Fehlzigarette (22) ein Fehlersignal erzeugt und die Fehlzigarette (22) beseitigt wird, ohne dass die Zufuhr von Zigaretten zu einem oder mehreren ZigarettenSchächten (13) unterbrochen ist.

Figure 00000001
A cigarette magazine (11) as part of a cigarette packaging machine consists of an upper reservoir (12) and a plurality of shaft units (15) for the removal of cigarette groups (16). At a distance above the shaft units (15), a transversely directed control unit (24) is formed within the storage container (12) from a plurality of inspection shafts (25) for the passage of individual, successive cigarettes (10). The contents of the inspection wells (25) are detected such that, if the flow of cigarettes (10) is interrupted due to, for example, a transverse miscarriage (22), an error signal is generated and the miscarous cigarette (22) is removed without the supply of cigarettes to one or more cigarette shafts (13) is interrupted.
