Definitions

  • FIG. 6 is a side sectional view of a device similar to FIG. 5;
  • the present invention is embodied in apparatus for handling such rod like articles as filter tip cigarettes and comprises a hopper having an upper funnel shaped receiving reservoir 11 open at its top to receive therein a plurality of uniformly directed.
  • the separating plate 15 is first inserted in the hopper (in FIG. 1 from left to right) to cover the measuring chamber 13 and prevent rods from falling from the hopper 11. Then the floor 30 is lifted until it reaches its most elevated position, directly below the separating slide 15. In effecting this movement, the spring like arms 35 move between the ends of the slide 15 and the walls 34 to encompass a given quantity of the rods, which are laying in a uniform parallel axial direction parallel to the arms 35. Subsequentially the slide 15 is removed, by sliding it out of the hole 14 to the left. In this manner the rods become supported by the floor 30. As the floor 30 is caused to thereafter descend, so do the rods held in the measuring chamber 13 as well as those stacked above them in the receiving reservoir 11.
  • the slide 15 again divides the hopper into the receiving reservoir 11 and the measuring chamber 13. Thereafter the pusher wall 37 is actuated in the direction of the arrows seen in FIG. 2, shoving the counted and sorted rods into the packaging container 23 for further processing. The pusher 37 is retracted, leaving the measuring chamber 13 void. The cycle may be then repeated.
  • a plurality of elongated stirrers or agitators 21 are arranged along a generally horizontal line beneath the support 12, each agitator extending perpendicularly to the vertical plane transversely accross the depth of the hopper within the reservoir 11.
  • the agitators are uniformly spaced from each other at a distance between them of not greater than the length of the rod.
