Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transfert (10) construit et conçu pour transférer des articles en forme de tige (11) de l'industrie de traitement du tabac à partir d'un dispositif de formation de brin (12) pour former les articles en forme de tige (11), dans lequel les articles en forme de tige (11) sont transportés dans leur extension longitudinale dans un plan de transport E, vers un dispositif de tambour (13) qui est situé dans une position en ligne droite derrière le dispositif de formation de brin (12) et dans lequel les articles en forme de tige (11) sont transportés transversalement à leur extension longitudinale, ledit dispositif de transfert comprenant : un cadre fixe (14) ; un tambour de transport (15) qui peut être entraîné en rotation par rapport au cadre (14) autour d'un axe de rotation D orienté perpendiculairement au plan de transport E et qui a une position de réception (16) pour recevoir les articles en forme de tige (11) dans le plan de transport E à partir du dispositif de formation de brin (12) et une position de distribution (17) pour délivrer les articles en forme de tige (11) depuis le plan de transport E vers le dispositif de tambour (13) ; un dispositif d'entraînement (18) pour le tambour de transport (15) ; et au moins un dispositif de bac pivotant (19) situé sur la face d'extrémité du tambour de transport (15), le ou chaque dispositif de bac pivotant (19) est construit et conçu pour pouvoir pivoter par rapport au tambour de transport (15) autour d'un axe S orienté parallèlement à l'axe de rotation D, et comporte au moins un réceptacle (20), auquel une pression négative peut être appliquée, pour au moins un article en forme de tige (11). Le dispositif de transfert est caractérisé en ce que chaque dispositif de bac pivotant (19) comprend un levier de came (21) qui est relié fonctionnellement à une piste de came (22) fixée au cadre (14) afin d'exercer le mouvement pivotant autour de l'axe S. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé correspondant.
