Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0509270A2] 2. In order to test (cigarette) packs (10) with respect to correct external appearance, electro-optical test elements are used, namely a camera (48) and mirror (49) in order to image the outsides of the pack (10). In order to correctly and simultaneously detect all the sides of the pack, the packs (10) are detected in the region of a test station (20) only in the region of two sides aligned diametrically opposite one another, specifically in the region of the short transverse edges (17, 18). As a result, the sides of the pack remain clear so that they can be scanned or photographed by correspondingly positioned cameras or camera and a mirror. <??>The transverse edges (17, 18) are supported on conveying strands (37, 38) of appropriately obliquely positioned conveying straps (35, 36). <IMAGE>
