Für die Herstellung von Filterstäben für Rauchartikel, insbesondere Zigarettenfilterstäben, in einer hierfür vorgesehenen Filterherstellungsmaschine wird sog. Filtertow verwendet, das in Streifenform von einer Filtertowquelle bezogen wird. Die Filterherstellungsmaschine umfasst gewöhnlich eine Vorrichtung zur Aufbereitung des Filtertows und eine nachgeschaltete Filterstrangmaschine. In der Aufbereitungsvorrichtung des Filtertows wird der Filtertowstreifen gewöhnlich durch Strecken und Behandeln mit Weichmacher aufbereitet, rundgeformt und in einer dadurch gewünschten Form und Konsistenz zur Weiterverarbeitung an eine Filterstrangmaschine abgegeben, welche aus dem aufbereiteten Filtertowstreifen durch Umhüllung mit einem Hüllmaterialstreifen einen Filterstrang herstellt, der schließlich in Filterstäbe mit der gewünschten Länge zerschnitten wird.For the production of filter rods for smoking articles, in particular cigarette filter rods, in a filter manufacturing machine provided for this purpose, what is known as a filter tow is used which is obtained in strip form from a filter-trough source. The filter manufacturing machine usually comprises a device for processing the filter tow and a downstream filter rod machine. In the processing device of the filter tow the filter tow is usually prepared by stretching and treating with plasticizer, round-shaped and in a desired shape and consistency for further processing to a Filter strand machine delivered, which produces from the processed filter tow by wrapping with a wrapping material strip a filter strand, which is finally cut into filter rods of the desired length.
Die Filtertowquelle ist gewöhnlich zur Aufnahme mindestens eines Filtertowballens, von dem das Filtertow kontinuierlich als Strang, Streifen oder Band, im folgenden gleichermaßen als "Filtertowstreifen" bezeichnet, abgezogen wird. Um den Filtertowstreifen in die Aufbereitungsvorrichtung der Filterherstellungsmaschine zu speisen, wird bei derzeit handelsüblichen Anlagen ein sog. Galgen verwendet, über den der Towstreifen vom Filtertowballen in die Filterherstellungsmaschine gezogen wird. Allerdings ist diese Anordnung lediglich in der Lage, den Filtertowstreifen nur aus einer bestimmten Richtung in die Filterherstellungsmaschine zu speisen.The filter trough source is usually for receiving at least one filter towball, from which the filter tow is continuously withdrawn as a strand, strip or band, hereinafter also referred to as "filter tow". To feed the filter tow in the processing device of the filter manufacturing machine, a so-called. Gallows is used in currently commercially available systems over which the tow strip is pulled from the filter towballs in the filter manufacturing machine.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Maßnahme vorzuschlagen, wodurch sich eine im wesentlichen richtungsunabhängige Aufstellung der Filterherstellungsmaschine gegenüber einer Filtertowquelle oder einer der Filtertowquelle nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung und somit eine im wesentlichen richtungsunabhängige Einspeisung des von der Filtertowquelle oder einer der Filtertowquelle nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung abgezogenen Filtertowstreifens in die Filterherstellungsmaschine realisieren lässt.It is an object of the present invention to provide a measure, resulting in a substantially direction independent installation of the filter manufacturing machine against a Filtertowquelle or the filter trough source downstream transport device and thus a substantially direction-independent feed of the deducted from the Filtertowquelle or one of the Filtertowquelle transport device towed in the Can make filter manufacturing machine.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen eine Vorrichtung zum Transport eines Filtertowstreifens entlang eines Transportweges zu einer Filterherstellungsmaschine zur Herstellung von Filterstäben für Rauchartikel, insbesondere Zigaretten, aus dem Filtertowstreifen, mit einem Umlenkmittel zur Umlenkung des Filtertowstreifens, wobei das Umlenkmittel den Transportweg in einen ersten Wegabschnitt und einen gegenüber dem ersten Wegabschnitt winklig angeordneten und auf die Filterherstellungsmaschine gerichteten zweiten Wegabschnitt unterteilt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Umlenkmittel um eine Drehachse bewegbar gelagert ist, welche etwa parallel zum zweiten Wegabschnitt liegt oder etwa mit dem zweiten Wegabschnitt zusammen fällt.To solve this problem, a device is proposed for transporting a filter tow strip along a transport path to a filter production machine for producing filter rods for smoking articles, in particular cigarettes, from the filter tow strip, with a deflection means for deflecting the filter tow strip, wherein the deflection means the transport path in a first path section and a second path section arranged at an angle to the first path section and directed towards the filter production machine, characterized in that the deflection means is movably mounted about an axis of rotation which is approximately parallel to the second path section or approximately coincides with the second path section.
Die Erfindung erlaubt eine im wesentlichen richtungsunabhängige Einspeisung des Filtertowstreifens in die Filterherstellungsmaschine, wodurch eine im wesentlichen richtungsunabhängige Aufstellung der Filterherstellungsmaschine gegenüber der Filtertowquelle oder einer der Filterquelle nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung möglich ist. Somit ergibt sich mit Hilfe der Erfindung der Vorteil, bei der Ausrichtung der Produktion die Towversorgung unabhängig vom Ort der Filterherstellungsmaschine zu gestalten. Dabei kann bei einigen Anordnungen der Filtertowstreifen im zweiten Wegabschnitt zwischen dem Umlenkmittel und der Filterherstellungsmaschine einem Twist oder einer Torsion unterworfen werden; jedoch haben Versuche ergeben, dass ein solcher Twist bzw. eine solche Torsion zu keiner Qualitätseinbuße führt.The invention allows a substantially direction-independent feeding of the filter tow strip into the filter manufacturing machine, whereby a substantially direction independent installation of the filter manufacturing machine with respect to the Filtertowquelle or a downstream of the filter source transport device is possible. Thus, with the aid of the invention, the advantage arises of designing the tow supply independently of the location of the filter production machine in the orientation of the production. In this case, in some arrangements, the filter tow strips in the second path section between the deflection means and the filter manufacturing machine may be subjected to a twist or torsion; However, tests have shown that such a twist or torsion leads to no loss of quality.

Bevorzugte Ausführungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Preferred embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Bevorzugt ist das Umlenkmittel in eine solche Drehstellung bewegbar, in welcher der Filterstreifen entlang des ersten Wegabschnittes von einer Filtertowquelle oder einer dieser nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung im wesentlichen geradlinig, knickfrei und unverdrillt zum Umlenkmittel gelangt.Preferably, the deflection means is movable in such a rotational position, in which the filter strip along the first path portion of a Filtertowquelle or downstream of this transport device substantially rectilinear, kink-free and untwisted passes to the deflection.
Eine Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung, bei welcher das Umlenkmittel eine mindestens teilweise vom ersten Wegabschnitt zum zweiten Wegabschnitt gekrümmte Führungsfläche aufweist, durch die der Filtertowstreifen in flächig ausgebreiteter Form vom ersten Wegabschnitt zum zweiten Wegabschnitt überführbar ist, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Umlenkmittel in eine Drehstellung bewegbar ist, in der der Filtertowstreifen, vom ersten Wegabschnitt kommend, ohne wesentliches Knicken und/oder ohne wesentliche Verdrillung in flächige Anlage mit der Führungsfläche bringbar ist.A refinement of this embodiment, in which the deflecting means has a guide surface which is curved at least partially from the first path section to the second path section, through which the filter tow strip can be transferred from the first path section to the second path section in a surface-spread form is characterized, is characterized in that the deflection means is movable in a rotational position in which the filter tow, coming from the first path section, can be brought into substantial contact with the guide surface without substantial kinking and / or without significant twisting.
Hierzu kann die Führungsfläche derart gestaltet sein, dass der Filtertowstreifen in gleitende Anlage an die Führungsfläche bringbar ist. Bei einer solchen Weiterbildung kann beispielsweise das Umlenkmittel eine gekrümmte Oberseite, welche die gekrümmte Führungsfläche bildet, oder ein gekrümmtes Flachteil aufweisen, dessen Außenfläche die gekrümmte Führungsfläche bildet und welches insbesondere plattenförmig ist oder aus einem Blech besteht. Ferner kann zumindest die Außenseite des Umlenkmittels im Querschnitt mindestens teilweise die Form eines umgekehrten "U" aufweisen, wobei der Begriff "umgekehrtes U" nicht bedeutet, dass das "U" zwangsläufig direkt auf dem Kopf stehen muss, sondern auch Ausführungen umfasst, bei welchen das "U" schräg geneigt nach unten gerichtet sein kann.For this purpose, the guide surface may be designed such that the filter tow can be brought into sliding contact with the guide surface. In such a development, for example, the deflection means may have a curved upper side, which forms the curved guide surface, or a curved flat part, whose outer surface forms the curved guide surface and which is in particular plate-shaped or consists of a metal sheet. Furthermore, at least the outer side of the deflection means may at least partially have the shape of an inverted "U" in cross section, the term "inverted U" not meaning that the "U" must necessarily be directly upside down, but also includes embodiments in which the "U" can be directed obliquely downwards.
Das Umlenkmittel kann aber auch beispielsweise die Form einer Scheibe besitzen, an dessen Umfang die Führungsfläche ausgebildet ist. Anstelle einer Anordnung, wonach der Filtertowstreifen gleitend über das Umlenkmittel gezogen wird, ist es auch denkbar, die Scheibe als Rolle drehbar zu lagern, über die der Filtertowstreifen läuft.However, the deflecting means may also have, for example, the shape of a disk, on the circumference of which the guide surface is formed. Instead of an arrangement according to which the filter tow strip is pulled slidably over the deflecting means, it is also conceivable to rotatably support the disk as a roll, over which the filter tow strip runs.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung ist eine Stütze vorgesehen, die an ihrem oberen Abschnitt das Umlenkmittel trägt und deren Fuß entlang einer den zweiten Wegabschnitt umschließenden Bahn bewegbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist die Bahn kreisförmig und liegt der Mittelpunkt der kreisförmigen Bahn auf der Drehachse. Diese Ausführung, bei welcher die Stütze als eine Art Drehturm vorgesehen ist und am oberen Ende das Umlenkmittel trägt, bietet eine konstruktiv besonders einfache und zugleich wirkungsvolle Anordnung, um eine im wesentlichen richtungsunabhängige Aufstellung der Filterherstellungsmaschine gegenüber einer Filtertowquelle oder einer dieser nachgeschalteten Transportvorrichtung zu ermöglichen.In a further preferred embodiment, a support is provided which carries at its upper portion the deflection means and the foot of which is movable along a path enclosing the second path portion. Preferably, the web is circular and the center of the circular path is on the axis of rotation. This embodiment, in which the support is provided as a kind of turret and carries at the upper end of the deflection, provides a structurally particularly simple and at the same time effective arrangement to allow a substantially direction independent installation of the filter manufacturing machine against a Filtertowquelle or one of these downstream transport device.
Bei einer Weiterbildung der zuvor angegebenen Ausführung ist ein um die Drehachse drehbar lagerbarer, vorzugsweise an oder auf der Filterherstellungsmaschine montierbarer, Sockel vorgesehen, der eine Durchgangsöffnung zur Durchleitung des zweiten Wegabschnittes aufweist und auf dem in einem radialen Abstand zur Drehachse die Stütze mit ihrem Fuß befestigt ist. Bevorzugt läuft die Drehachse durch die Durchgangsöffnung und kann der Sockel die Form eines Tellers haben, der sich etwa rechtwinklig zur Drehachse erstreckt.In a further development of the above-mentioned embodiment, a rotatably mounted about the rotation axis, preferably mountable on or on the filter manufacturing machine, pedestal is provided which has a through hole for passage of the second path portion and secured to the support at a radial distance from the axis of the support with her foot is. Preferably, the axis of rotation passes through the passage opening and the base may have the shape of a plate which extends approximately at right angles to the axis of rotation.
Vorzugsweise ist ein Führungselement zur Führung des Filtertowstreifens in seinem zweiten Wegabschnitt zwischen dem Umlenkmittel und der Filterherstellungsmaschine vorgesehen. Zweckmäßigerweise sollte dieses Führungselement an der zuvor erwähnten Stütze angeordnet sein. Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung dieser Ausführung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das Führungselement eine Durchgangsöffnung aufweist, durch die der zweite Wegabschnitt läuft und somit der Filtertowstreifen durchführbar ist. Konkret kann das Führungselement als Ring ausgebildet sein, der vorzugsweise etwa rechtwinklig zum zweiten Wegabschnitt ausgerichtet ist.Preferably, a guide element for guiding the filter tow strip is provided in its second path section between the deflection means and the filter manufacturing machine. Conveniently, this guide element should be arranged on the aforementioned support. A preferred development of this embodiment is characterized in that the guide element has a passage opening through which the second path section runs and thus the filter tow can be carried out. Specifically, the guide element may be formed as a ring, which is preferably aligned approximately at right angles to the second path section.
Besonders vorteilhaft eignet sich die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung für die Einspeisung des Filtertowstreifens etwa senkrecht in die Filterherstellungsmaschine, so dass der vom Umlenkmittel zur Filterherstellungsmaschine führende zweite Wegabschnitt etwa vertikal gerichtet ist.The arrangement according to the invention for feeding in the filter tow strip is particularly advantageously approximately perpendicular to the filter production machine, so that the second path section leading from the deflection means to the filter production machine is directed approximately vertically.
An dieser Stelle sei noch angemerkt, dass im zweiten Wegabschnitt vom Umlenkmittel zur Filterherstellungsmaschine - ausgenommen das mindestens eine Führungselement gemäß der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführung, wodurch der Filtertowstreifen lediglich auf dem zweiten Wegabschnitt gehalten werden soll - gewöhnlich weder andersartige Führungsmittel insbesondere für eine Führung des Filtertowstreifens über kurvenförmige oder gekrümmte Bahnen, noch Transportmittel für eine aktive Fortbewegung des Filtertowstreifens vorgesehen sind, sondern der Filtertowstreifen den zweiten Wegabschnitt im wesentlichen freihängend bzw. ,fliegend' überbrückt und der zweite Wegabschnitt im wesentlichen geradlinig verläuft.At this point it should be noted that in the second path section from the deflection to the filter manufacturing machine - except the at least one guide element according to the embodiment described above, whereby the filter tow is to be held only on the second path section - usually neither other type of guide means in particular for a leadership of the filter tempest over curved or curved paths, nor transport means for active movement of the filter tempstrip are provided, but the filter tow the second path portion substantially free-hanging or 'flying' bridges and the second path section is substantially rectilinear.
