Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0425903A1] The invention relates to a device for feeding blanks (1) to a packaging station, in particular external paper blanks for soft cigarette packagings to cigarette-receiving cells (11) of a folding packer, with a constant-speed conveying and gluing section, at the end of which a conveying device (4) is arranged, the conveying elements of which can be driven intermittently with a transport speed between a maximum value corresponding to the speed of the conveying and gluing section and momentary standstill in such a manner that the blank (1), at the time of the momentary standstill, can be taken over by a holder (13) of the packaging station, which is at this time situated adjacent to the delivery end of the device. In order to avoid running off-centre of the blanks (1) and to achieve accurate positioning, it is envisaged that the conveying elements of the conveying device are formed by a roller pair (4) which has at least one roller (5', 5'') with a flattening (7) in such a manner that the blank (1) can be pressed, by means of the following axial edge(s) (26) of the flattening(s) (7), against a stop (9) into slightly curved position, a guide section (2, 21) following the roller pair (4), in which air outlet openings (23) of an air supply device (19) open. <IMAGE>
