Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0562446A1] 2.1. For filling containers, especially cartons (16), with a plurality of (small) packs, especially cigarette packs (10), arranged in rows above and next to one another, an intermediate container (18) is used. This consists of elongate chambers (19) open at both ends, each for receiving a pack group (20). The intermediate container (18) is positioned in front of the open carton (16) in such a way that the content can be pushed into the carton (16) in a pushing-out stroke. 2.2. There serves for filling the intermediate containers (18) a feed conveyor (28) which feeds a pack string (15) from a packaging machine (11) to the intermediate container (18) and introduces it directly into the chambers (19). <IMAGE>
