Abstract

Vorrichtung zum Herstellen bzw. Transportieren von Zigaretten, insbesondere Filterzigaretten (18), die aus (doppelt langen) Tabakstöcken (10) gebildet, mit zunächst doppelt langen Filterstopfen (14) verbunden und mittig im Bereich derselben durchtrennt werden. Die Tabakstöcke (10), Zigaretten (15), Doppelzigaretten (22) und Filterzigaretten (18) werden teilweise durch einen Muldengurt transportiert, nämlich durch einen Zahnriemen mit Mulden (28) zur Aufnahme je eines Tabakstocks (10) oder von zwei Zigaretten (15) bzw. Filterzigaretten (18). Im Bereich von Arbeitsstationen werden die Tabakstöcke (10), Zigaretten etc. durch Trommeln transportiert.

Device for producing or transporting cigarettes, in particular filter cigarettes (18), which are formed from (double-long) tobacco sticks (10), are initially connected to double-length filter plugs (14) and are cut in the center in the region of the same. The tobacco sticks (10), cigarettes (15), double cigarettes (22) and filter cigarettes (18) are partly transported through a trough belt, namely through a toothed belt with troughs (28) for receiving one tobacco stick (10) or two cigarettes (15 ) or filter cigarettes (18). In the area of work stations, the tobacco sticks (10), cigarettes, etc. are transported by drums.
