Die gezeigte Vorrichtung ist Teil einer Verpackungsmaschine für Zigaretten 10. Es geht um die Schaffung von Zigarettengruppen 11 als Inhalt einer Zigarettenpackung. Vorliegend besteht die Zigarettengruppe 11 aus zwei übereinanderliegenden Zigarettenreihen.The device shown is part of a packaging machine for
Die Zigaretten 10 werden zur Bildung der Zigarettengruppe 11 durch ein Zigaretten-Magazin 12 bereitgestellt. Dieses ist - soweit nicht dargestellt - in üblicher Weise ausgebildet mit einem Zigarettenvorrat, der die Zigaretten einzeln in (aufrechte) Schächte 13 einleitet. Mehrere nebeneinanderliegende Schächte 13 bilden eine von gegebenenfalls mehreren Schachteinheiten 14 eines Zigaretten-Magazins 12.The
In jedem Schacht 13 wird eine aufrechte Reihe von einzelnen, übereinanderliegenden Zigaretten 10 geschaffen. Diese sind ausgerichtet, derart, dass beispielsweise ein Filterende 15 an einer bestimmten Seite der Schächte 13 liegt, vorliegend an einer Rückseite, also gegenüberliegend zu einer Ausschubseite der Zigaretten 10. Die Schächte 13 sind durch im Wesentlichen aufrechte Schachtwände 15 begrenzt, die mindestens im unteren Bereich als dünne Bleche ausgebildet sind (
Eine der Zigarettengruppe 11 entsprechende Anzahl von Zigaretten 10 wird (gleichzeitig) von Ausschuborganen aus den Schächten 13 ausgeschoben. Es handelt sich dabei um Stößel 23, 24, die je einem Schacht 13 zugeordnet sind. Eine Mehrzahl von nebeneinanderliegenden Stößeln 23, 24 bildet ein Ausschuborgan für eine Zigarettengruppe 11. Die Stößel 23, 24 treten von der Rückseite her - Magazinwand 20 - in den Bereich der Schächte 13 ein, wobei aus jedem Schacht 13 eine der Abmessung (Höhe) des Stößels 23, 24 entsprechende Anzahl von Zigaretten 10 - vorliegend je zwei untere Zigaretten 10 in jedem Schacht 13 - ausgeschoben werden. Diese Stößel 23, 24 sind so bemessen, dass sie die Zigaretten 10 bzw. die Zigarettengruppe 11 bis in den Bereich einer Tasche des Zigarettenrevolvers 22 transportieren (
Jedem Schacht 13 ist ein Stößel 23, 24 zugeordnet. Deren Breite ist deutlich geringer als die Breite des Schachts 13 (
Die Stößel 23, 24 einer Schachteinheit 14 sind zu einer Ausschubeinheit zusammenfasst. An den (rückseitigen) Enden sind die Stößel 23, 24 durch ein Endstück bzw. Kopfstück 27 miteinander verbunden. Das Kopfstück 27 wiederum ist an einer tieferliegenden Verbindungstraverse 28 angeordnet. Auf diese kann der hin- und hergehende Antrieb der Ausschubeinheit übertragen werden.The
Zur Verbesserung der Stabilität der Schiebereinheit sind die Stößel 23 in dem in die Schächte 13 eintretenden Bereich (zusätzlich) miteinander verbunden. Hierzu kann ein Quersteg an geeigneter Position dienen. Vorliegend sind die Stößel 23 durch ein am unteren Rand der Stößel 23 mit diesen verbundenes Querstück zusammengefasst und stabilisiert. Vorliegend handelt es sich dabei um eine verhältnismäßig dünne Verbindungsplatte 29, die sich mindestens über einen Teilbereich der Stößel 23, vorliegend jedoch über die volle Länge der Stößel 23 erstreckt. Die Verbindungsplatte 29 führt demnach bis zum Kopfstück 27. Die Stößel 23 sind auf der Oberseite der Verbindungsplatte 29 angeordnet wie aufrechte Stege (
