Deren Leistung bezüglich der pro Zeiteinheit hergestellten und ausgestoßenen Partikel hat sich im Laufe der Zeit immer wieder sprunghaft erhöht bzw. musste der gestiegenen Leistungsfähigkeit der vorgeschalteten Zigarettenstrangmaschine angepasst werden.Method and device of the type described above are used in particular for confectioning on a so-called filter attachment machine Queraxial promoted filter cigarettes. their Performance in terms of per unit time produced and ejected Particles have jumped over time over and over again increased or had to increase the performance of the upstream Cigarette rod machine can be adjusted.

Im Dokument DE-C-39 18 137 (entspricht US-5,054,346) ist ein Belagpapieraggregat einer Filteransetzmaschine beschrieben. Hierbei wird das beleimte Belagpapier als endloser Belagpapierstreifen zugeführt und mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung in Einzelblättchen bzw. Verbindungsblättchen geschnitten. Nach dem Schnitt werden diese Verbindungsblättchen vereinzelt und auf die Fördergeschwindigkeit der portionsweise transportierten Zigaretten-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen gebracht.In document DE-C-39 18 137 (corresponds to US-5,054,346) is a tipping paper aggregate a filter attachment described. in this connection the glued tipping paper is fed as an endless tipping paper strip and by means of a cutting device in individual sheets or Cut leaflets. After the cut, these are Disconnected leaves and on the conveying speed Portionwise Transported Cigarette Filter Cigarette Groups brought.

In DE-A-196 26 679 (entspricht US-5,715,838) ist eine Filteransetzmaschine für eine Doppelstrang-Zigarettenherstellungsmaschine beschrieben, bei der zwei verschiedene Förderwege der Tabakartikel für das Anheften und das Umrollen der Belagblättchen vorgesehen sind.In DE-A-196 26 679 (corresponding to US-5,715,838) is a filter attachment machine for a double-stranded cigarette making machine described in the two different routes of delivery of tobacco products intended for the attachment and the rewinding of the cover sheets are.

Ferner ist aus EP-A-1 108 369 bekannt, Zigarette-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen mit einem Belagblättchen zu versehen, indem nur jede erste Gruppe einer Folge von Zigarette-Filter-Zigarette-Gruppen auf einer ersten Trommel mit einem Belagblättchen eines ersten Belagapparates versehen wird und jede zweite Gruppe aus dem Förderweg der ersten Gruppe herausgefördert wird und auf einer zweiten Trommel mit einem Belagblättchen eines zweiten Belagapparates versehen wird. Die Umrollung der beiden separaten Gruppen mit den Blättchen erfolgt nachfolgend in getrennten Rolleinrichtungen. It is also known from EP-A-1 108 369, cigarette filter cigarette groups with a topping slip by only every first Group of a Series of Cigarette Filter Cigarette Groups a first drum with a covering sheet of a first coating apparatus is provided and every second group from the conveyor the first group is promoted and on a second Drum with a covering sheet of a second coating apparatus is provided. The rollover of the two separate groups with the leaflets are subsequently carried out in separate rolling devices.

Erst nach der jeweiligen Umrollung werden die Gruppen wieder zu einer alternierenden Folge von Gruppen zusammengeführt.Only after the respective rollover the groups become again an alternating series of groups.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine hohe Produktqualität von Rauchartikeln, auch bei höheren Produktionsleistungen, an einer Filteransetzmaschine zu gewährleisten, wobei der Aufwand für die Konstruktion möglichst gering gehalten werden soll.Based on this prior art, it is the task of the present Invention, a high product quality of smoking articles, even at higher production rates, on a filter attachment machine to ensure the construction effort should be kept as low as possible.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Vereinigen von Rauchartikelkomponenten, bei dem die Artikel einer ersten und zweiten Gruppe mit Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppen einer ersten Belageinrichtung zugeführt und die Artikel der ersten Gruppe jeweils mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden, nachfolgend die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe einer zweiten Belageinrichtung zugeführt werden und die Artikel der zweiten Gruppe jeweils mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden und dass die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe in einer Rolleinrichtung von den Verbindungsblättchen umwickelt werden.This task is solved by a method for uniting Smoking article components, in which the articles of a first and second group with cigarette mouthpiece cigarette groups one supplied to first covering device and the articles of the first group each provided with a compound leaflet, below the articles of the first and second group of a second covering device be fed and the articles of the second group each be provided with a compound leaflet and that the articles of the first and second group in a rolling device are wrapped by the connecting papers.

Durch das Vorsehen zweier Belagapparate an einer einbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine wird die Produktionsleistung erhöht, da die Zufuhr der Belagblättchen zweibahnig erfolgt, so dass jede erste Artikelgruppe vom ersten Belagapparat und jede zweite Artikelgruppe vom zweiten Belagapparat mit einem Belagblättchen versehen wird. Hierdurch kann die Fördertrommel bzw. das Fördermittel mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit betrieben werden. Somit werden die Belagblättchen an die jeweilige Artikelgruppe zuverlässig angeheftet, so dass die Qualität bei der Herstellung der Zigaretten gesteigert wird.By providing two coating devices on a single-lane Filter attachment machine increases production output, as the Feeding the toppings is done two lanes, so every first Article group from the first pad and every second article group provided by the second coating apparatus with a padding sheet becomes. As a result, the conveyor drum or the conveyor with be operated at a higher speed. Thus, the Pads reliably attached to the respective article group, so that the quality in the production of cigarettes increased becomes.

Vorteilhafterweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungsblättchen während der Förderung der Artikelgruppen auf einem Fördermittel an die Artikel übergeben werden. Durch die Förderung der Artikel auf einem einzigen Fördermittel und dem gleichzeitigen Anbringen der Verbindungsblättchen auf den Artikelgruppen, wird der bauliche Aufwand erheblich reduziert. Es ist in diesem Fall nicht nötig, dass die Artikelgruppen verschiedene Förderwege haben müssen, um mit einem Belagblättchen versehen zu werden.Advantageously, it is provided that the connection papers while promoting article groups on a grant to be handed over to the articles. By promoting the Articles on a single conveyor and the simultaneous attachment the connection leaflets on the article groups, the Construction costs significantly reduced. It is not necessary in this case that the article groups have to have different funding channels, to be provided with a tipping sheet.

Eine weitere Verbesserung wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Verbindungsblättchen nach der Übergabe an die Artikel teilweise angelegt werden. Das Anlegen eines freien Endes eines Verbindungsblättchens an eine Zigarette-Filterstück-Zigarette-Gruppe ist in der europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 1413211 beschrieben. Dabei ist für das Anlegen des einen freien Endes eines Verbindungsblättchens an einen Tabakartikel ein Faltstern oder ein sogenannter Rollstern vorgesehen.A further improvement is achieved in that the connecting leaflets partially created after transfer to the articles become. The application of a free end of a connecting leaflet a cigarette filter piece cigarette group is in the European Patent application EP 1413211 described. It is for applying the one free end of a connecting leaflet to a tobacco article a folding star or a so-called Roll star provided.

In einer Weiterbildung werden die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe vor der Übergabe des Verbindungsblättchens an die erste Gruppe alternierend auf dem Fördermittel angeordnet.In a continuing education, the articles of the first and second Group before handing over the leaflet to the first one Group arranged alternately on the conveyor.

Günstig ist es ferner, wenn die Verbindungsblättchen an die Artikel der ersten und/oder zweiten Gruppe mit einer konstanten Geschwindigkeit übergeben werden.It is also favorable if the connection papers to the article the first and / or second group at a constant speed be handed over.

Insbesondere werden die Artikel der ersten und zweiten Gruppe wenigstens zwischen der ersten Belageinrichtung und der Rolleinrichtung mit dem gleichen Teilungsabstand gefördert.In particular, the articles of the first and second group at least between the first pad means and the roller means promoted with the same pitch.

Die Aufgabe wird ferner gelöst mittels einer Maschine der tabakverarbeitenden Industrie, insbesondere Filteransetzmaschine, die dadurch weitergebildet ist, dass für eine erste und zweite Gruppe von Zigarette-Mundstück-Zigarette-Gruppe jeweils eine Belageinrichtung, die in Förderrichtung der Artikelgruppen hintereinander angeordnet sind, und eine gemeinsame Rolleinrichtung vorgesehen sind.The object is also achieved by means of a machine of tobacco processing Industry, in particular Filteransetzmaschine thereby is further developed that for a first and second group of Cigarette-Mouthpiece-Cigarette-Group each a lining device, arranged in the conveying direction of the article groups in a row are, and a common rolling device are provided.

Durch die beiden Belageinrichtungen wird das Anheften des Papierblättchens an die Artikelgruppen verbessert, da nicht mehr ein Belagapparat sämtliche Artikelgruppen mit einem Belagpapierblättchen versehen muss.According to the concept of the invention, tipping paper leaflets are used supplied in two lanes on a single-lane filter attachment machine, so that the machine operated at a higher conveying speed can be. Due to the two lining devices is the Attaching the paper leaflet to the article groups improves since no longer a covering device all article groups with one Must provide tipping paper leaflets.

Eine Vereinfachung im Aufbau ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Belageinrichtungen an einem Fördermittel für die erste und zweite Artikelgruppe angeordnet sind.A simplification in the structure results from the fact that the covering devices at a funding for the first and second article group are arranged.

Außerdem sind vorteilhafterweise die Teilungsabstände der Aufnahmen des Fördermittels äquidistant, so dass bspw. eine Fördertrommel mit einer vorbestimmten Teilung eingesetzt wird.In addition, advantageously the pitch of the images the conveyor equidistant, so that, for example, a conveyor drum is used with a predetermined pitch.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist wenigstens ein Anlegeorgan für wenigstens ein freies Ende eines Verbindungsblättchens an die Artikel der ersten und/oder zweiten Gruppe vorgesehen, so dass bei einer nachfolgenden Umrollung der Artikelgruppen die Verbindungsblättchen besser an den Artikelgruppen haften. Durch das teilweise Anlegen des Verbindungsblättchens wird der Startvorgang bei der Umrollung deutlich verbessert.In a preferred embodiment, at least one landing member for at least one free end of a connecting leaflet to the Article of the first and / or second group provided so that at a subsequent rollover of the article groups the connecting papers adhere better to the article groups. By the Partial creation of the connection leaflet becomes the startup process significantly improved during the rollover.

Darüber hinaus ist vorteilhafterweise für jede Artikelgruppe jeweils ein Anlegeorgan vorgesehen.In addition, it is advantageous for each article group respectively provided a contact organ.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung sind die Teilungsabstände der Zuführtrommel jeder Belageinrichtung für die Verbindungsblättchen doppelt so groß wie die Teilungsabstände des Fördermittels, da die Belageinrichtungen jeweils die bzw. eine Hälfte der insgesamt geförderten Artikelgruppen mit Verbindungsblättchen versehen.In a preferred embodiment, the pitches of the Feeding drum of each covering device for the connecting papers twice as large as the pitch of the conveyor, as the Facings each one or a half of the total subsidized Article groups provided with connection papers.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhafterweise die Länge der Verbindungsblättchen an jeder Belageinrichtung einstellbar, so dass bspw. nach einem Wechsel der Fördertrommel auf einen anderen Teilungsabstand leicht eine Anpassung der geschnittenen Verbindungsblättchen möglich ist. Ein Wechsel der Fördertrommel ist dann erforderlich, wenn Zigaretten mit einem anderen Durchmesser gefördert werden.Furthermore, advantageously, the length of the connection papers Adjustable at each pad means, so that, for example, after a Changing the conveyor drum to a different pitch easy adaptation of the cut leaflets is possible. A change of the conveyor drum is then required when cigarettes are promoted with a different diameter.

Insbesondere ist das Fördermittel als Muldentrommel oder Bandförderer ausgebildet.In particular, the funding is as a hollow drum or belt conveyor educated.

Bevorzugterweise ist die erfindungsgemäße Maschine einbahnig ausgebildet, d.h., dass die queraxial hintereinander angeordneten und geförderten Artikelgruppen in einer Förderebene transportiert und mit einem Verbindungsblättchen versehen werden.Preferably, the machine according to the invention is single-tracked formed, that is, the arranged transaxially behind each other and promoted article groups transported in a funding level and be provided with a compound leaflet.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Teilungsabstände der Mulden auf der Fördertrommel 22 konstant, d.h. äquidistant, sind. Darüber hinaus sind die Belagapparate 10.1, 10.2 derart modifiziert, dass die Belagpapierzuführtrommeln bzw. Saugwalzen 12.1, 12.2 eine doppelt so große Teilung aufweisen, wie die Fördertrommel 22. According to the invention, it is provided that the pitch distances of Troughs on the conveyor drum 22 constant, i. equidistant, are. Moreover, the coating apparatuses 10.1, 10.2 are modified in such a way that in that the tipping paper feed drums or suction rolls 12.1, 12.2 have a pitch twice as large as the conveyor drum 22nd

Insgesamt wird an einer derartigen einbahnigen Filteransetzmaschine mit einer zweibahnigen Belagzufuhr über die Belagapparate 10.1, 10.2 die Produktionsleistung einer Filteransetzmaschine erhöht, wobei der bauliche Aufwand gering ist, da nur an einem Fördermittel zwei Belagapparate angeordnet werden.Overall, at such a single-lane Filteransetzmaschine with a two-lane lining feed over the coating apparatus 10.1, 10.2 increases the production output of a filter attachment machine, the construction cost is low, since only on a subsidy two coating devices are arranged.

In Fig. 2 ist eine alternative Ausgestaltung der doppelbahnigen Belagpapierzuführung an die ersten und zweiten Artikelgruppen 50, 60 dargestellt. Hierbei werden anstelle einer Fördertrommel 22 (Fig. 1) die Artikelgruppen 50, 60 linear auf einem Bandförderer 32 transportiert. Hierbei sind die Abstände der Artikelgruppen 50, 60, d.h. die Teilungsabstände, auf dem Bandförderer 32 konstant ausgebildet. In Fig. 2 is an alternative embodiment of the double-lane tipping paper supply to the first and second article groups 50, 60 shown. Here, instead of a conveyor drum 22nd (Fig. 1) the article groups 50, 60 linearly on a belt conveyor 32nd transported. Here, the distances of the article groups 50, 60, i.e. the pitches, formed on the belt conveyor 32 constant.
