Abstract

A cigarette maker machine comprises a cigarette rod maker (10) and a filter tipping device (12) for adding filter tips to cigarette rods output by the maker. The filter tipping device is arranged in-line with the maker. Accordingly, cigarette rods output from the maker are transported in the filter tipping device along paths which are substantially parallel to the direction of travel of the rods output by the maker. Preferably, the filter tipping device has a reservoir (30) and conveying devices (40, 42, 44, 46) for conveying filter tips from the reservoir to a station (82) at which the filter tips are aligned with cigarette rods to which they are to be joined. One advantage of the arrangement is that a compact cigarette making machine can be provided.
