Abstract (en)

A respacer and/or reorienter feed arrangement is operative for continuously feeding cigar wrappers in proper spaced-apart relationship and/or orientation to a cigar wrapping station (55) of a multi-station cigar wrapping machine which includes a cigar bunch supply station (56), a cigar wrapper supply station (40,42), and a conveyor (62) for conveying the bunches to a cigar wrapping station (55) at which the wrappers are spirally applied about the bunches. The method of respacing and/or reorienting the wrappers includes conveying the latter in a predetermined arranged relationship and/or orientation in which successive wrappers are located relative to one another at positions selected for optimum compact transport purposes, and continuously moving each successively leading wrapper, one after another, relative to its next successively trailing wrapper, from its respective optimum compact transport position to and through the cigar wrapping station (55). The wrappers are conveyed through the wrapping station (55) in another different arranged relationship in which successive wrappers are located relative to each other at different positions selected for optimum wrapping purposes. Cigar wrapping is performed in an automatic, non-stop manner.
