Abstract

Apparatus for conveying rod- like articles includes a conveyor (108) particularly adapted for moving a stream (102) of articles in stack formation around a curved path. The conveyor (108) includes an endless conveyor (114) carrying cantilevered slats (112) and guided around a double curved path on the upper run of which the outer ends of the slats are elevated by guide means (132). On the curved path the outer side of the stream is elevated and moved at an increased speed by the slats (112). The conveyor 108) may be used to turn articles in the stream (102) through 180 DEG prior to merging with another stream (100) and is, therefore, usable in a "tip turner" for attachment to a filter cigarette making machine. <IMAGE>
