  • the housing 79 also supports two intermediate conveyors 80, 81 here shown as disks which repectively receive sections Z and Z and are driven in such a way that their axially parallel pockets 80a, 81a are aligned at a transfer station TS at which they deposit cigarette rod sections Z Z into consecutive pockets 77a of the assembly drum 77.
  • the receiving drum 82 is provided with radially extending suction ducts a which communicate with suction channels 95c provided in the interior of the drum 82 and leading 'to a suitable suction generating fan 95d, shown in FIG. 4, so that the cigarette rod sections entering the pockets 95 are retained by suction during their advance to the pockets 80a, 81a of the disks 80, 81.
  • the distribution of channels 95c is illus trated in FIGS. 2 and 4.
  • the disks 80, 81 cooperate with arcuate shields 80b, 81]) which keep the cigarette rod sections Z Z in the respective pockets 80a, 81a all the way to the transfer station TS.
  • the housing 79 may be locked in selected positions of adjustment by a locking pin 7911 which extends through one of a series of apertures 79b in the frame 68.
  • the parts of the feed 69 are driven by a first spur gear or driver gear 83 which is mounted on the shaft 76 of the assembly conveyor 77 and forms a part of a gear train including three intermediate gears 84, 85, 86 the last of which drives the eccentric gears 87, 88 of the disks 80, 81.
  • the disks 80, 81 are mounted on parallel shafts 89, 90.
  • a single gear 86 may drive both transfer disks.
  • the gear 88 drives two intermediate gears 91, 92 the latter of which drives a gear 93 for the receiving drum 82.
  • the gear 84 will merely roll along and will remain in mesh with the driver gear 83 when the operator decides to rock the housing 79 about the axis of the shaft 76.
  • the shaft 76 is driven by a gear train 76a from the main drive of the filter cigarette machine.
  • the gear train 83-88, 91-93 is shown again in FIG. 3 which also illustrates the manner in which the shafts of these gears are mounted in the housing 79 and the manner in which the drums 82, 77 cooperate with the disks 80, 81 to transfer pairs of cigarette rod sections Z Z and mouthpieces F toward the pockets of the wrapper applying drum 72.
  • the housing 79 comprises an L-shaped extension 94 in the form of a composite bracket which straddles the drum 82 and which extends beneath the discharge end of the belt 102.
  • the belt 102 delivers cigarette rod sections Z Z lengthwise in the direction indicated by arrow 96 and, since the housing 79 is pivotable about the axis of the shaft 76 (which is rotatable in the machine frame 68), the discharge end of the belt 102 may be brought in registry with the uppermost pocket 95 of the receiving drum 82. If desired, the disks 80, 81 may be driven by internal gears.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the manner in which the hollow shaft 89 of the disk 80 is mounted on the shaft 90 of the disk 81.
  • the shaft 90 rotates in a bearing sleeve 97 which is secured to a bracket 98, see also FIG. 3.
  • the sleeve 97 is provided with an eccentric bore 99 for two sets of roller bearings which surround the shaft 90.

  • the improved cigarette feed 69 operates as follows:
  • the belt 102 discharges a single file of coaxial cigarette rod sections Z Z (arrow 96) onto the bridge member 104 whereon the sections are engaged by the accelerating cam roller 103 to be advanced into the respective pockets 95 so that each cigarette rod section comes to a halt when it abuts against the corresponding stop 952;.
  • these stops are arranged in two annular groups in order to align the file of cigarette rod sections Z with the disk 81 and to align the file of cigarette rod sections Z with the disk 80.
  • the pockets 95 retain the respective sections by suction which is effective through the ducts 95a and deliver them into the pockets 80a, 81a of the disks 80, 81 whereon the sections are caused to be aligned so that each pocket 77:: receives a cigarette rod section Z and a cigarette rod section Z While the pairs of coaxial cigarette rod sections advance beneath the supply drum 100 of the filter feed 70, this feed discharges a filter mouthpiece F of double unit length between each pair of consecutive cigarette rod sections so that the pockets of the wrapper applying drum 72 will receive groups G which consist of two cigarette rod sections of unit length and a filter mouthpiece of double unit length. The remainder of the operation of the filter cigarette machine has been described hereinbefore.
  • the pockets or similar holders for rod shaped articles are preferably formed in such a way that the articles are received with some clearance to facilitate transfer of such articles to and from the conveyors.
  • the assembling unit on the frame 68 of the filter cigarette machine is to receive cigarette rod sections from a different cigarette rod making machine, i.e., from a cigarette rod making machine whose supply conveyor belt 102 is located at a level above or below the level of the belt 102 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the operator merely withdraws the locking pin 79a and rocks the housing 79 to a different angular position in which the housing is locked by inserting the pin 79a into another aperture 7%.
  • Such angular adjustments of the feed 69 do not affect the accuracy at which the disks 80, 81 transfer cigarette rod sections into the pockets 77a because the gears of the drive for the feed 69 remain in mesh at all times.
  • the belt 102 preferably delivers cigarette rod sections into that pocket 95 which is momentarily located at the top of the receiving drum 82. If the feed 69 is to deliver a single file of cigarette rod sections, the disks 80, 81 may be omitted and the receiving drum 82 then delivers directly into the pockets 77a of the assembly drum 77.
  • the pockets 95 are provided with enlarged intake ends, as at 95a, to insure that the sections Z Z may enter such pockets while the drum 82 rotates at high speed.
  • the bracket 94 may be detachably secured to a fixed part of the cigarette rod making machine.
  • the distance between the centers of the pockets 95 on the periphery of the receiving drum is one-half the distance between the centers of pockets 80a, 81a or 77a. If the drum 82 were to form three files of cigarette rod sections (this can be achieved by arranging the stops b in three annular series), the distance between the centers of the pockets 77a, 80a or 81a will be three times the distance between the centers of the pockets 95.
  • the diameters of the disks 80, 81 are the same and the eccentricity of the bore 99 is such that a trailing pocket 80a catches up with the preceding pocket 81a while the two pockets advance from the corresponding pockets 95 of the drum 82 to the transfer station TS.
