Definitions

  • a stub which word shall be understood ⁇ as including any portion of material (such as a piece of filtering material, or a hollow tube, or a combination of the two) which is suitable for incorporation in a mouthpiece cigarette, whether such portion is of the length required in a finished cigarette or a multiple of such length.
  • sextuple stub lengths are carried laterally in utes 2 of the drum 1 past the knives i and thereby subdivided, as described above, so as each to form groups of three double-length stubs.
  • Each such group in turn is engaged by a lug 6 on the conveyor 5 as the ute in which they are carried reaches or approaches its lowest position. That is to say, a lug engages the exposed end face of the rearmost stub of a drical surface, is engaged neari ts rear end by a pusher group (considered in the direction of movement of the upper run of the conveyor 5), and thus pushes the group endwise out of the ute.
  • these six pusher elements are arranged in two corresponding groups, the elements in each group being spaced equally apart. These groups are arranged on opposite sides of the two recesses 19, see FIGURE 3, and the distance between the last element 18 of one group and the first element of the other is a little greater than the distance between two elements of a group.
  • each stub is engaged by an element 18 at substantially the same position along its length as are all the other stubs. It will be seen that by this means all the stubs will be dealt with in the same way, whereas if all six pusher elements were equispaced about the wheel 17, different stubs would be engaged at different positions along their lengths.
  • Stub feeding apparatus comprising a movable carrier having transverse open-ended channels to carry stubs sideways, an endless conveyor having spaced feeder elements mounted thereon, and extending across the said carrier and so inclined to the longitudinal axes of the said channels as to carry successive feeder elements lengthwise along diierent channels with a component in the direction of movement of the latter, so as to feed stubs lengthwise from the channels while the latter are moving laterally, and support means associated with said conveyor to support stubs fed lengthwise from the said channels, said support means and said conveyor extending away from the said carrier in the general direction of movement of the feeder elements through said channels, to support ⁇ and feed endwise, respectively, a succession of stubsvmoving lengthwise in line away from the carrier.
