der Prüfstation abgewandten Bereich der Trommel in radialer Richtung zugeführt werden können.the area of the drum facing away from the test station can be fed in the radial direction.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Gurt einstückig angeformte Zähne auf, die zum Antrieb des Gurtes in Aussparungen der Trommel greifen. Somit kann die Trommel selbst zum Antrieb des Gurtes verwendet werden, ohne daß einIn an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the belt has integrally molded teeth which are used to drive the belt reach into recesses in the drum. Thus, the drum itself can be used to drive the belt without a

gesonderter Antrieb für den Gurt erforderlich ist.separate drive for the belt is required.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeiep.iel der Erfindung nflher erläutert. Es zeigt:A preferred exemplary embodiment is shown on the basis of the drawing the invention explained in more detail. It shows:

Figur 1 einen durch die Längsachse einer Trommel gehenden Schnitt einer erfindungsgemäßen Zigarettenprüfvorrichtung; FIG. 1 shows one passing through the longitudinal axis of a drum Section of a cigarette testing device according to the invention;

Figur 2 eine Aufsicht auf die in Figur 1 gezeigte Zigarettenprüf vorrichtung längs deren Achse;FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the cigarette testing device shown in FIG. 1 along its axis;

Figur 3 einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt aus Figur 2.FIG. 3 shows an enlarged section from FIG.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Zigarettenprüfvorrichtung weist eine Trommel 30 auf, durch die die Zigaretten während des PrüfensThe cigarette testing device shown in Figure 1 has a drum 30 through which the cigarettes during testing

getragen werden. Die Trommel 30 weist einen Flansch 3OA mit einem axialen Kanal 3OB auf, durch den an der Prüfstationbe worn. The drum 30 has a flange 30A an axial channel 30B through which at the test station

dem benachbarten Ende einer zu prüfenden Zigarette 32 Druck zugeführt wird. Durch einen konischen Sitz 3OC wird eine Dichtstelle gebildet; die Zigarette wird durch Blasen an den konischen Sitz angedrückt, sie kann jedoch auch durch auf den Kanal 30B ausgeübten Unterdruck an denthe adjacent end of a cigarette 32 to be tested Pressure is applied. A sealing point is formed by a conical seat 3OC; the cigarette is through Bubbles pressed against the conical seat, but it can also be released by negative pressure applied to the channel 30B

An annular space 34 used for testing is partially covered by a section 3OD of Drum 30 and partially formed by an endless belt 60.

Kurz vor der Prüfstation wird die Zigarette auf der Prüftrommel durch über einen Kanal 38 ausgeübten Unterdruck festgehalten. Kurz vor Erreichen der Prüfstation wird die Zigarette leicht in axialer Richtung in den konischen Sitz 3OC hineingeschoben indem z.B. das eine Stirnende der Zigarette mit einem Luftstrahl beaufschlagt wird. Vorzugsweise wird die Prüfung der Umhüllung der Zigarette dadurch ausgeführt, daß über den Kanal 3OB Unterdruck zugeführt wird, so daß die Zigarette durch Unterdruck gegen den konischen Sitz 3OC angedrückt wird, wobei der zum axialen Verschieben der Zigarette dienende Luftstrhal vor Erreichen der Prüfstation abgeschaltet wird.Shortly before the test station, the cigarette is held on the test drum by negative pressure exerted through a channel 38. Shortly before reaching the test station, the cigarette is pushed slightly in the axial direction into the conical seat 3OC for example by applying a jet of air to one end of the cigarette. Preferably the examination of the Wrapping of the cigarette carried out in that negative pressure is supplied via the channel 30B, so that the cigarette is pressed against the conical seat 3OC by negative pressure, the air stream serving for the axial displacement of the cigarette is switched off before reaching the test station.

Wie Figur 2 zeigt, läuft der Gurt 60 um einen Teil des Umfangs der Trommel 30 und läuft über Trägerscheiben 62, 64. DieAs FIG. 2 shows, the belt 60 runs around part of the circumference of the drum 30 and runs over carrier disks 62, 64. The

In der Nähe der glatten Oberfläche 6OC des Gurtes sind in Längsrichtung verlaufende Drähte 6OD zur Verstärkung des Gurtes angeordnet. Der Gurt ist aus flexiblem PlePbikmaterial gegossen.which tightly surround the outer halves of the cigarettes, and with Teeth 6OB have been provided, which in similarly designed * in the drum provided recesses engage so that the belt at the same speed as the drum and in time is driven to match them. Near the smooth surface 6OC of the belt are lengthways Wires 6OD arranged to reinforce the belt. The belt is cast from flexible PlePbik material.

Wahlweise können die Zähne 6OB zum Antrieb und zum Synchronisieren von der Oberfläche 6OC des Gurtes überstehen, und in diesem Falle ist eine der Trägerscheiben 62 oder 64 als Zahnrad ausgebildet, um den Gurt anzutreiben. Anstelle des in Figur 2 von dem Gurt durchlaufenen Weges kann der Gurt auchOptionally, the teeth 6OB can be used to drive and synchronize protruding from the surface 6OC of the belt, and in this case one of the carrier disks 62 or 64 is a gear trained to drive the belt. Instead of the path traversed by the belt in FIG. 2, the belt can also
