Title:
TOBACCO CONVEYING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5480500
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
There is disclosed cigarette handling apparatus for transferring cigarettes from a first stream, in which they move at a first speed one after the other in a feed direction parallel to their axes, to a second stream, in which they move at a second speed one after the other in an outflow direction at right angles to their axes. A transfer drum is mounted to be rotatable about an axis parallel to the feed direction and a plurality of cigarette carrier elements are slidably mounted around the drum for reciprocation parallel to this axis. Each carrier element is movable by the drum between a first position for lateral entrainment by suction of a cigarette from the first stream and a second position for delivery of the entrained cigarette to the second stream. A cam is arranged to cause each carrier element to execute a reciprocation in each drum revolution. The configuration of the cam provide is such that, during rotation of the drum, each carrier element when at the first position is displaced along the drum parallel to the feed direction at a speed at least equal to the first speed. This displacement of the carrier element is thereafter so progressively decelerated as to have ceased when the element is at the second position. As a result, transfer of cigarettes from the first to the second stream takes place with controlled deceleration of the speed of each cigarette in its axial direction.
