That is why it is very important Part, if it is already divided during the Ausschiebevorgangs, because on the one hand in a divided state, the progress of the punch or the carriage 151 does not hinder, and because it is on the other hand no longer needed after the expulsion of the tobacco rod.

• a great advantage of this embodiment is also that it reduces the movement of a cigarette, e.g. from the tobacco transfer station to the delivery station anyway, exploits to take an important step, namely the end pruning. This eliminates, for example, moving blades and their steep motors.
• the tobacco rod after being transferred into the cigarette tube, undergoes a phase of spatial expansion which compensates for the compression during tobacco transport into the sleeve. This spatial expansion takes place in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cigarette, so that a piece of the tobacco rod emerges from the open cigarette end or the ignition end.
• the embodiment described here advantageously also takes into account the fact that the tobacco spread extends over a period of time, which may be dependent on several factors, such as: As the tobacco used, the applied pressure when tobacco rod transport into the sleeve, etc .. If, however, as suggested here, in a controlled and adjusted manner a certain waiting period elapse before after the tobacco transfer of the end cut takes place, so can it is still possible to prevent tobacco from spreading after the end cut from the open end of the cigarette. Thus, the condition is maintained immediately after the end cut and the cigarette still has a clean ignition after the issue.

• the space divider 181b is rotatably inserted into the thoughthüile 181a, so that the open ends of the bays 185 and 186 can come to lie successively above the dispensing slot 184 so as to release, for example, by gravity, the cigarette precursor 183, ie the precursor 183 can through the Slot 184 fall out to be further processed.
• the inward bulges or bumps 196 ensure that farther or farther pre-products 193 are kept somewhat spaced from those directly on the dispensing lance 194, so that the latter can fall out of the slot 194 without interference when the inner cylinder member is rotated so that its slot opening coincides with the slot 194 of the outer cylinder member 191a.
• FIG. 38 A further possible embodiment in this thematic complex is shown in FIG. 38, wherein the cartridge 200 in turn comprises the outer cylinder element 201a with the dispensing slot 204, and an inner cylinder element 201b which has a spiral interior in which the precursors 203 are arranged one behind the other. Also, the spiral-shaped inner cylinder member 201b is rotatably supported in the element part 201a, and when the two outer openings of the elements are superimposed as shown in Figure 38, the first cigarette precursor may fall out of the cartridge 200 and be further processed. Again, the design of the spirally divided interior ensures that neither tilting of the cigarette precursors may occur, nor a mutual obstruction arises when spending.
