Abstract (en)
[origin: US4732166A] In the packaging of cigarettes and similar articles, it is necessary to test for proper formation, in particular for a sufficient tobacco content. This test is preferably carried out in the region of shafts 12 or shaft groups 15, 16 of a cigarette magazine 11. A test block 38 with test plungers 39 takes effect at one end of the cigarette (tobacco side). On the opposite side, grab members for each tested cigarette are provided, in particular needles 41 the points 42 of which penetrate into the cigarettes or into a filter 43 of the latter. The defective cigarettes are drawn out of the group by retracting the needles.
