Abstract (en)
[origin: US4648232A] An apparatus for checking the quality of rod-shaped, cylindrical objects, especially cigarettes, that are fed from a funnel-shaped storage container to a plurality of essentially parallel chutes, each of which has associated therewith at least one checking device and a subsequently disposed ejection mechanism for axially ejecting a defective object. In order to operate at high speeed with the least possible expense for construction and control, the essentially vertically disposed chutes, each of which has a width that is only slightly greater than the diameter of the rod-shaped objects, have at least their lower portion provided with a zig-zagged course that has at least one bend. A first slide mechanism is disposed below the chutes. This slide mechanism is provided with openings, each designed to receive a respective one of the rod-shaped objects, with the number of such openings corresponding to the number of chutes.
