Mundstück eingelegt, wobei anschließend ein beleimtes Verbindungsblättchen an die zusammengestellte Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppe angeheftet wird. Dabei wird das beleimte Verbindungsblättchen über eine Saugwalze einer Belageinrichtung mit einem definierten Teilungsabstand der Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppe zugeführt. Ein definierter Teilungsabstand ist der vorgewählte Abstand der Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppen, der größer ist als das Verbindungsblättchen lang ist. In filter attaching machines there is a cut between axial and longitudinal spaced tobacco sticks a filter piece or Mouthpiece inserted, followed by a glued connection sheet to the assembled cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group is pinned. The glued connection leaflet via a suction roll of a covering device with a defined pitch of the cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette group fed. A defined pitch is the preselected one Distance of the Cigarette-Mouthpiece-Cigarette Groups, the is larger than the connecting sheet is long.

Verfahren und Vorrichtung der vorstehend bezeichneten Art dienen insbesondere zur Konfektionierung von auf einer sogenannten Filteransetzmaschine queraxial geförderten Filterzigaretten. Deren Leistung bezüglich der pro Zeiteinheit hergestellten und ausgestoßenen Partikel hat sich im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder sprunghaft erhöht bzw. musste der gestiegenen Leistungsfähigkeit der vorgeschalteten Zigarettenstrangmaschine angepasst werden.The method and device of the type described above are used in particular for the assembly of a so-called filter attachment machine filter cigarettes conveyed transversely. their Performance in terms of the number of units manufactured and produced per unit of time Particle has jumped again and again over time increased or had to the increased performance of the upstream Cigarette rod machine can be customized.

Im Dokument DE-C-39 58 137 (entspricht US-5,054,346) ist ein Belagpapieraggregat einer Filteransetzmaschine beschrieben. Hierbei wird das beleimte Belagpapier als endloser Belagpapierstreifen zugeführt und mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung in Einzelblättchen bzw. Verbindungsblättchen geschnitten. Nach dem Schnitt werden diese Verbindungsblättchen vereinzelt und auf die Fördergeschwindigkeit der portionsweise transportierten Zigaretten-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen gebracht.In document DE-C-39 58 137 (corresponds to US-5,054,346) is a base paper unit a filter attachment machine described. in this connection the glued covering paper is fed in as an endless strip of covering paper and by means of a cutting device in single sheets or Cut connection sheets. After the cut, these will be Connection sheets isolated and on the conveying speed of the cigarette filter cigarette groups transported in portions brought.

In DE-A-196 26 679 (entspricht US-5,715,838) ist eine Filteransetzmaschine für eine Doppelstrang-Zigarettenherstellungsmaschine beschrieben, bei der zwei verschiedene Förderwege der Tabakartikel für das Anheften und das Umrollen der Belagblättchen vorgesehen sind.In DE-A-196 26 679 (corresponds to US-5,715,838) is a filter attachment machine for a double-strand cigarette manufacturing machine described in the two different ways of conveying the tobacco items intended for tacking and rolling over the topping sheets are.

Ferner ist aus EP-A-1 108 369 bekannt, Zigarette-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen mit einem Belagblättchen zu versehen, indem nur jede erste Gruppe einer Folge von Zigarette-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen auf einer ersten Trommel mit einem Belagblättchen eines ersten Belagapparates versehen wird und jede zweite Gruppe aus dem Förderweg der ersten Gruppe herausgefördert wird und auf einer zweiten Trommel mit einem Belagblättchen eines zweiten Belagapparates versehen wird. Die Umrollung der beiden separaten Gruppen mit den Blättchen erfolgt nachfolgend in getrennten Rolleinrichtungen. Furthermore, EP-A-1 108 369 discloses cigarette filter cigarette groups to be provided with a covering sheet by only every first Group of a sequence of cigarette filter cigarette groups a first drum with a covering sheet of a first covering apparatus is provided and every second group from the funding path the first group is promoted and on a second Drum with a topping sheet from a second topping device is provided. The rewinding of the two separate groups with the leaflets are then carried out in separate rolling devices.

Erst nach der jeweiligen Umrollung werden die Gruppen wieder zu einer alternierenden Folge von Gruppen zusammengeführt.The groups only become closed again after the respective rewinding an alternating sequence of groups.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine hohe Produktqualität von Rauchartikeln, auch bei höheren Produktionsleistungen, an einer Filteransetzmaschine zu gewährleisten, wobei der Aufwand für die Konstruktion möglichst gering gehalten werden soll.Based on this prior art, it is the task of the present Invention, high product quality of smoking articles, even with higher production outputs, on a filter attachment machine to ensure, the effort for the construction should be kept as low as possible.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Vereinigen von Rauchartikelkomponenten, bei dem die Artikel einer ersten und zweiten Gruppe mit Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppen einer ersten Belageinrichtung zugeführt und die Artikel der ersten Gruppe jeweils mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden, nachfolgend die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe einer zweiten Belageinrichtung zugeführt werden und die Artikel der zweiten Gruppe jeweils mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden und dass die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe in einer Rolleinrichtung von den Verbindungsblättchen umwickelt werden.This problem is solved by a method for merging Smoking article components, in which the articles of a first and second group with cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette groups one first covering device and the articles of the first group each be provided with a connection sheet, below the articles of the first and second groups of a second covering device are fed and the articles of the second group each be provided with a connection sheet and that the articles of the first and second group in a rolling device be wrapped by the connecting sheets.

Durch das Vorsehen zweier Belagapparate an einer einbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine wird die Produktionsleistung erhöht, da die Zufuhr der Belagblättchen zweibahnig erfolgt, so dass jede erste Artikelgruppe vom ersten Belagapparat und jede zweite Artikelgruppe vom zweiten Belagapparat mit einem Belagblättchen versehen wird. Hierdurch kann die Fördertrommel bzw. das Fördermittel mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit betrieben werden. Somit werden die Belagblättchen an die jeweilige Artikelgruppe zuverlässig angeheftet, so dass die Qualität bei der Herstellung der Zigaretten gesteigert wird.By providing two covering devices on a single lane Filter attachment machine, production output is increased because the The topping sheets are fed in two lanes, so that every first Article group from the first covering device and every second article group from the second topping machine with a topping sheet becomes. As a result, the conveyor drum or the conveying means can also be used operated at a higher speed. Thus the Pads reliably attached to the respective article group, so that the quality in the manufacture of the cigarettes increased becomes.

Vorteilhafterweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungsblättchen während der Förderung der Artikelgruppen auf einem Fördermittel an die Artikel übergeben werden. Durch die Förderung der Artikel auf einem einzigen Fördermittel und dem gleichzeitigen Anbringen der Verbindungsblättchen auf den Artikelgruppen, wird der bauliche Aufwand erheblich reduziert. Es ist in diesem Fall nicht nötig, dass die Artikelgruppen verschiedene Förderwege haben müssen, um mit einem Belagblättchen versehen zu werden.It is advantageously provided that the connection leaflets while promoting the item groups on a grant to be handed over to the articles. By promoting the Articles on a single funding and simultaneous application the connection sheet on the article groups, the construction effort significantly reduced. In this case it is not necessary that the article groups must have different funding channels, to be provided with a topping sheet.

Eine weitere Verbesserung wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Verbindungsblättchen nach der Übergabe an die Artikel teilweise angelegt werden. Das Anlegen eines freien Endes eines Verbindungsblättchens an eine Zigarette-Filterstück-Zigarette-Gruppe ist in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 020 235 24.8 beschrieben. Dabei ist für das Anlegen des einen freien Endes eines Verbindungsblättchens an einen Tabakartikel ein Faltstern oder ein sogenannter Rollstern vorgesehen.A further improvement is achieved in that the connecting leaves partially created after delivery to the article become. The creation of a free end of a connection sheet to a cigarette filter cigarette group is in the European Patent Application No. 020 235 24.8. It is for creating one free end of a connection sheet a folding star or a so-called Rollstern provided.

In einer Weiterbildung werden die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe vor der Übergabe des Verbindungsblättchens an die erste Gruppe alternierend auf dem Fördermittel angeordnet.In a further education, the articles of the first and second Group before transferring the connection sheet to the first Group arranged alternately on the funding.

Günstig ist es ferner, wenn die Verbindungsblättchen an die Artikel der ersten und/oder zweiten Gruppe mit einer konstanten Geschwindigkeit übergeben werden.It is also expedient if the connecting sheets on the article the first and / or second group at a constant speed be handed over.

Insbesondere werden die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe wenigstens zwischen der ersten Belageinrichtung und der Rolleinrichtung mit dem gleichen Teilungsabstand gefördert.In particular, the articles of the first and second group at least between the first covering device and the rolling device promoted with the same pitch.

Die Aufgabe wird ferner gelöst mittels einer Maschine der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Filteransetzmaschine, die dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass für eine erste und zweite Gruppe von Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppe jeweils eine Belageinrichtung, die in Förderrichtung der Artikelgruppen hintereinander angeordnet sind, und eine gemeinsame Rolleinrichtung vorgesehen sind.The object is also achieved by means of a tobacco processing machine Industry, especially filter attaching machine, thereby is further developed that for a first and second group of Cigarette-mouthpiece-cigarette-group each a topping device, arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the article groups are, and a common role facility are provided.

Gemäß dem Erfindungsgedanken werden Belagpapierblättchen zweibahnig an einer einbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine zugeführt, so dass die Maschine mit einer höheren Fördergeschwindigkeit betrieben werden kann. Durch die beiden Belageinrichtungen wird das Anheften des Papierblättchens an die Artikelgruppen verbessert, da nicht mehr ein Belagapparat sämtliche Artikelgruppen mit einem Belagpapierblättchen versehen muss.According to the inventive concept, topping paper sheets fed in two lanes on a single lane filter attachment machine, so that the machine operated at a higher conveying speed can be. The two covering devices will Sticking the paper to the article groups improved because no longer a covering device all article groups with one Topping paper.

Eine Vereinfachung im Aufbau ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Belageinrichtungen an einem Fördermittel für die erste und zweite Artikelgruppe angeordnet sind.A simplification in the construction results from the fact that the covering devices a grant for the first and second article groups are arranged.

Außerdem sind vorteilhafterweise die Teilungsabstände der Aufnahmen des Fördermittels äquidistant, so dass bspw. eine Fördertrommel mit einer vorbestimmten Teilung eingesetzt wird.In addition, the pitches of the recordings are advantageous of the conveyor equidistant so that, for example, a conveyor drum is used with a predetermined division.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist wenigstens ein Anlegeorgan für wenigstens ein freies Ende eines Verbindungsblättchens an die Artikel der ersten und/oder zweiten Gruppe vorgesehen, so dass bei einer nachfolgenden Umrollung der Artikelgruppen die Verbindungsblättchen besser an den Artikelgruppen haften. Durch das teilweise Anlegen des Verbindungsblättchens wird der Startvorgang bei der Umrollung deutlich verbessert.In a preferred embodiment there is at least one application member for at least one free end of a connection sheet to the Articles of the first and / or second group provided so that at a subsequent roll of the article groups the connection sheets adhere better to the article groups. By the partially starting the connection sheet is the starting process significantly improved when rewinding.

Darüber hinaus ist vorteilhafterweise für jede Artikelgruppe jeweils ein Anlegeorgan vorgesehen.It is also advantageous for each article group an application organ is provided.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung sind die Teilungsabstände der Zuführtrommel jeder Belageinrichtung für die Verbindungsblättchen doppelt so groß wie die Teilungsabstände des Fördermittels, da die Belageinrichtungen jeweils die bzw. eine Hälfte der insgesamt geförderten Artikelgruppen mit Verbindungsblättchen versehen.In a preferred development, the separation distances are Feed drum of each covering device for the connecting sheets twice the pitch of the funding, because the Covering devices each one or half of the total funded Provide article groups with connection sheets.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhafterweise die Länge der Verbindungsblättchen an jeder Belageinrichtung einstellbar, so dass bspw. nach einem Wechsel der Fördertrommel auf einen anderen Teilungsabstand leicht eine Anpassung der geschnittenen Verbindungsblättchen möglich ist. Ein Wechsel der Fördertrommel ist dann erforderlich, wenn Zigaretten mit einem anderen Durchmesser gefördert werden.The length of the connecting leaflets is also advantageous adjustable on each covering device so that, for example, after a Change the conveyor drum to a different pitch an easy adjustment of the cut connection sheets is possible. A change of the conveyor drum is then necessary when cigarettes with a different diameter are conveyed.

Insbesondere ist das Fördermittel als Muldentrommel oder Bandförderer ausgebildet.In particular, the funding is a trough drum or belt conveyor educated.

Bevorzugterweise ist die erfindungsgemäße Maschine einbahnig ausgebildet, d.h., dass die queraxial hintereinander angeordneten und geförderten Artikelgruppen in einer Förderebene transportiert und mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden.The machine according to the invention is preferably single-lane formed, i.e. that the axially one behind the other and funded article groups are transported on a funding level and be provided with a connection sheet.
