Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for producing filter cigarettes, wherein between double length tobacco stoppers filter plugs double length are introduced, these double-length filter plug with the two tobacco rods double length are connected by means of a UmhüUungsblättchens and by a subsequent separation section through the double-length filter plug two streams with cigarettes double length with a filter plug of simple length and with a free end arise.
• a four-lane filter attachment machine is known in which double-length tobacco sticks are connected to each other with a first double filter. Subsequently, a second double filter is placed on one side in addition to the double-decker tobacco double-tobacco double-decker groups formed. After cutting the first double filter, one with a Filter provided tobacco double stick moved next to the second double filter, so that a lijnsaxial staggered sequence of tobacco double sticks arises, which is subsequently wrapped with a tipping paper. The double filters are then severed in the middle, so that two episodes of tobacco double sticks, each with a filter at one end of the head arise. The tobacco double sticks can be fed uncut to a packing machine and packaged as double sticks.
• This object is achieved by a method for the production of filter cigarettes, being introduced between tobacco rods double length filter plug double length, these double-length filter plug with the two tobacco rods double length are connected by means of a UmhüUungsblättchens and by a subsequent separation section through the double-length filter plug two partial streams arise with cigarettes double length with a filter plug simple length and with a free head end, which is further characterized in that the cigarettes of both streams are rearranged, subsequently a filter plug of double length is introduced between the free head ends of the cigarettes of the partial streams and this filter plug mitteis a Circumferential leaflet is connected to the cigarettes of the sub-streams.
• the invention is based on the idea that tobacco double sticks are fed in two lanes on a filter attachment machine and be connected with a double filter. After cutting the double filter, the inboard single-length filters are brought outward by a rearrangement process so that the cut filters of single length outwardly and the (still) unconnected other ends of the cigarettes face inward. Double-length filter plugs are then introduced between the longitudinally spaced tobacco double sticks so that after wrapping the second double filter plug a cigarette group of four times the useful length has been created.
• the cigarette group four times the length of use consists of a filter plug simple length, a double tobacco stick, a filter plug double length, a tobacco double stick and at the other end of another filter plug simple length.
• the insertion of the two filter plugs twice the length and the wrapping of the corresponding smoking article groups with a tipping paper leaflets takes place in the same, in particular vertical, plane.
• Smoking article component groups take place in the same plane, the productivity and performance of a filter tipping machine is increased. In addition, the processes at the filter attachment machine are simplified, since there is a common transport and process level.
• the cigarettes of both sub-streams are rearranged by at least one staggering, a sliding process and a subsequent staggering, so that the cigarettes of both sub-streams are arranged axially aligned.
• the cigarettes of both partial flows are longitudinally spaced, so that in a subsequent process Step filter plug of double length between the longitudinally spaced cigarette groups of the sub-streams are introduced.
• a rearrangement of the two partial streams can also be achieved by turning the cigarettes of both partial streams by means of a turning device, so that the filter plugs, which are initially located inside the filter plug of simple length, which are connected to a double tobacco rod, are turned and after completion of the turning operation the filter plugs lie outside as well as the open open
• the cutting and testing of the resulting individual cigarettes can take place on a packing machine, so that after producing the four-fold long cigarettes or double cigarettes with inside double long cigarette stick on a filter attachment machine, the resulting smoking article groups from the filter attachment machine to a packaging machine transported to the tobacco processing industry.
• the tobacco double sticks can thus be fed uncut to a packing machine, whereby the failure at the head ends of individual cigarettes in the manufacturing process is reduced.
• the double-length tobacco rods be transferred from a multiple-strand machine to a filter attachment machine.
• the Filteransetzmaschine be preceded by a two-strand or multi-strand machine.

• the filter attachment machine 10 receives from a multiple cigarette rod machine, not shown here, in the present case a quadruple cigarette rod machine, double-length tobacco rods 15, 16.
• the double-length tobacco rods 15, 16 are spatially offset in each case by means of a transfer drum 11 and 13 taken from the cigarette rod machine.
• the tobacco sticks 15 are transferred from the transfer drum 11 via a conveyor drum 12 to a wide conveyor drum 14, while the tobacco rods 16 received by the transfer drum 13 are transferred to the conveyor drum 14. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the transfer drums 11, 13 and the conveyor drum 12 have a smaller width than the subsequent conveyor drums.
• filter plugs 51 are inserted from a filter feeder 50, so that from the assembly drum 21 on a conveyor drum 22 article groups, consisting of double-length tobacco sticks - double-length filter plug - double-length tobacco sticks passed.
• padding leaves 52 are attached to the article groups on the conveyor drum 22 in the area of the double-length filter plug 51 and transferred to a conveyor drum 23.
• the provided with a tipping paper 52 article groups are on the conveyor drum 23 of wrapped the tipping paper leaflet 52 and subsequently transferred to a conveyor drum 24 on which the double-length filter plug 51 are cut centrally by means of a cutting knife 25.
• the article groups of the sub-streams are staggered alternately, so that in a recording of the staggering drum 26 in the transfer of the article groups from the staggering drum 26 on a sliding drum 27, the article groups respectively a recording axially aligned and offset from one another.
• the staggered product groups of the two partial streams 70 are displaced by means of a spreading device such that the initially inner ends of the cut filter plug are pushed by the article groups to the outside.
• the transport routes of the article groups of the two sub-streams intersect.
• a spreader as described in European Patent EP-B-0 862 866 may be used therefor.
• the article groups of both partial streams After the rearrangement of the article groups of both partial streams by means of longitudinal axial displacement on the sliding drum 27, the article groups are arranged longitudinally axially spaced upon transfer to another staggering drum 31.
• the article groups of both partial streams are aligned longitudinally in axial alignment with one another and are spaced, so that between the article groups of the two partial streams in a receptacle a second Filter plug 61 double length of a filter feeder 60 is inserted.
• the assembled product groups consist of an external filter of simple length, a double-length tobacco rod, a filter plug double length, a double-length tobacco rod and another outer filter simple length.
• padding paper leaflets 62 are adhered to the transferred article groups on the conveying drum 32 by means of a padding device 65 in the region of the filter plug 61, so that after the transfer of the article groups to a conveying drum 33, the padding paper leaflets 62 are wrapped around the article groups.
