The specific embodiment

Shown device is the part of cigarette 10 wrapping machine, is used to form the cigarette group 11 as the cigarette case content.In this example, cigarette group 11 comprises the two row's cigarette that stack.

In order to form cigarette group 11, cigarette 10 is supplied with by cigarette casket 12.The cigarette casket of not representing among the figure is designed with the cigarette receptacle by usual manner, is used for getting into (vertically) passage 13 to root ground guiding of cigarette.The a plurality of passages 13 that are set up in parallel have constituted a channel unit 14 of cigarette casket 12, and the cigarette casket can have a plurality of channel units 14.

In each passage 13, form the stacked single cigarette 10 of a vertical setting of types.These cigarette are oriented and make that for example filter tip 15 is positioned on a certain side of passage 13, on rear side, that is to say that side opposite with the release side of cigarette 10 in this example.Passage 13 is limited vertical basically conduit wall 15, and vertical basically conduit wall 15 is designed to sheet metal (Fig. 3) at lower area at least.The side of channel unit 14 is limited stable sidewall 17,18.Passage 13 also has preceding casket wall 19 and the back casket wall 20 relative with preceding casket wall.Wall 19, the distance between 20 are less times greater than the length of cigarette 10.The lower boundary of cigarette casket 12 or channel unit 14 is formed by lower support element; Lower support element is base plate 21 in this example; Cigarette 10 is placed on this base plate 21 when cigarette 10 is pushed out channel unit 14, removes on the forwarder until being transported to, and removing forwarder is cigarette turntable 22 in this example.

Cigarette 10 corresponding to the some of cigarette group 11 is pushed out device slide aperture 13 (all simultaneously).Ejecting device is a

push rod

23,24, and each push rod is distributed to a passage 13.The a plurality of

push rods

23,24 that are set up in parallel each other constitute the ejecting device of cigarette group 11.

Push rod

23,24 is in the zone of rear side (back casket wall 20) access passage 13; Wherein, the cigarette 10 (being two bottom cigarette 10 in this example in each case in each passage 13) corresponding to the some of

push rod

23,24 sizes (highly) is pushed out each passage 13.These

push rods

23,24 are sized to make them can cigarette 10 or cigarette group 11 be transported in the sleeve zone of cigarette turntable 22 (Fig. 2).Fixed position formed parts 25 is arranged between cigarette casket 12 or channel unit 14 and the cigarette turntable 22; Can in perpendicular, rotate; This formed parts has side surface or guiding surface 26; Side surface or guiding surface 26 converge towards carriage direction, are that isolated cigarette 10 arranged side by side each other can be directed into together at first so that make, thereby form the configuration of putting into cigarette case that is applicable to of the cigarette 10 that gathers together.

Each passage 13 is assigned a push rod 23,24.The width of push rod is far smaller than the width (Fig. 3) of passage 13, to avoid receiving any constraint.The height of cross beam

type push rod

23,24 has determined in passage 13 stacked and in the quantity of releasing the cigarette that operating period is pushed.

The

push rod

23,24 of channel unit 14 has been combined to form the release

unit.Push rod

23,24 is through extremity piece or head end spare 27 and be connected to each other in (back) end.27 of head end spares are arranged on the bottom and connect on the transverse member 28.The reciprocal driving action of releasing the unit can be delivered on it.

In order to improve the stability of sliding unit, push rod 23 (in addition) in the zone of access passage 13 is connected to each other.For this reason, can adopt the transverse cross beams of suitable location.In this example, push rod 23 is to be combined and stable through the transverse member that is connected to push rod 23 following peripherals.Here, this transverse member is relatively thin connecting panel 29, and it extends on the part of push rod 23 at least, but is on the whole length of push rod 23, to extend in this example.Therefore, connecting panel 29 extends to head end spare 27 always.Push rod 23 is arranged on the upside (Fig. 3 and 4) of connecting panel 29 with the mode of erectting crossbeam.Push rod 23 preferably includes single workpiece with connecting panel 29.

The cell location that is formed by push rod 23 and connecting panel 29 becomes to make down directed connecting panel 29 and is arranged on a bit of distance of base plate 21 tops, and can move.

This design of releasing the unit means that conduit wall 16 can not extend and reaches base plate 21 places.On the contrary, conduit wall 16 ends at one (little) distance (Fig. 1 and 3) of connecting panel 29 tops.Gap 30 central authorities that the lower end-piece of conduit wall 16 preferably forms between adjacent push rod 23 extend, but end at connecting panel 29 at a distance of a distance, in this case, releasing the unit can move back and forth, and can contact channels wall 16.

Along the following peripheral be freely conduit wall 16 be fixed in a suitable manner in the channel unit 14 or on.In lower area, conduit wall connects crossbeam 31 through the side and is connected to (preceding) casket wall 19.Relative therewith, the zone, following peripheral of conduit wall 16 is provided with wall extension 32.Outside wall extension 32 stretches out (outside channel unit 14) and is anchored at.In this example, conduit wall 16 is fixed on the cross bar 33 through wall extension 32.This cross bar and back casket wall 20 are adjacent and extend in the outside.The others of conduit wall 16 are freely in channel unit 14, that is to say the relatively short distances 34 of the preceding casket wall 19 of conduit wall 16 distance, and the bigger distance 35 of distance back casket wall 20.Back one distance 35 is coordinated with the size of the filter tip 15 of cigarette with filter tip mutually, and in this example, the part of (shorter relatively) of filter tip 15 is positioned at the zone of conduit wall 16.

Cross bar 33 is connected to the

sidewall

17,18 of channel unit 14 through arc extremity piece 36.Like this, even, also continuous, stable carrier structure can be provided for the conduit wall 16 of free floating.Carrier structure 33 is arranged on outside the zone of the outer or passage 13 of channel unit.

Casket wall 19,20 ends at apart from 21 1 sections functional definite distance of base plate.Casket wall 19 is reserved the gap for the cigarette 10 that stacks with passing of push rod 23,24.Back casket wall 20 has formed the gap for the passing of extension 32 of conduit wall 16.

(back) casket wall 20 designs with special mode.Lower wall portion 37 can be swung by hinge 38, exactly can swing to open position, to allow 14 inside, access passage unit.Lower wall portion 37 advantageously comprises two

wall branches

39,40, and when lower wall portion 37 moved on to open position (Fig. 1, dotted line position), these two wall branches can be pivoted relative to each other by middle hinge 41.

Wall branch

39,40 designs for pectination in the zone of contiguous middle hinge 41, in this example, is being pivotally moved to

wall branch

39,40 each other at angle during the position of (interior angle), and the projection and the recess of pectination neighboring area are engaged with each other.The following peripheral of casket wall 20 is provided with inclined-plane 42, and this allows free opening, and can not contact cross bar 33.

Each push rod 24, at least one peripheral push rod 24 is not connected to connecting panel 29 in each case, but only is connected to head end spare 27, is (Fig. 3 and 4) freely in others.Releasing between moving period, preferably make this periphery push rod side travel through the fixed position bracing or strutting arrangement, that is to say preferably until this periphery pusher section abut on the adjacent push rod 23.This is to consider because the cross-sectional plane in the zone of the formed parts 25 that the guiding surface 26 that converges causes narrows down.This bracing or strutting arrangement is preferably designed for the backing roll 43 that is used to support each separately movable push rod 24.Peripheral push rod 24 is resisted against on the periphery of backing roll 43, and backing roll 43 can rotate by the upright axis line, so as push rod 24 under compressive load by side travel and/or distortion.

Preferred peripheral push rod 24 is formed with suitable profile separately, has the dimensional stability of raising.In this example, each push rod 24 has at least one and laterally adds strong component 44.This laterally adds upper periphery and outward that strong component advantageously is assemblied in push rod 24, that is to say the direction towards the casket wall with corresponding size 19,20.Casket wall 19,20 can be provided with along groove 45 longitudinally, wherein, adds strong component 44 and gets in the groove 45 of casket walls 19,20.In addition, backing roll 43 can have the circular groove 46 of suitable location, adds strong component 44 same entering in this circular groove, and during push rod 24 crank motions, is directed (Fig. 4).

Because peripheral push rod 24 is freely, therefore relevant here conduit wall 16 that is to say that peripheral channel wall 16 extends to base plate 21 always and is connected (Fig. 3 and 4 is in the left side) with base plate 21.
