Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0614619A2] 2.1. For transporting and storing cigarettes (10), use is made of containers (11) which are open on a large-area front side and which, furthermore, have an emptying orifice (17) directed downwards. This is directed upwards before emptying. In order to guarantee a regular fault-free emptying of the container (11), with the emptying orifice (17) directed downwards, there can be introduced into the container (11) a pressure member (25) which extends over the entire length of a cigarette level (24) and which exerts a slight pressure on the cigarettes (10). An exact horizontal cigarette level (24) is thereby established. The pressure member (25) rests on the cigarettes (10) over the entire length of the latter. 2.2. To introduce the pressure member (25) into the container (11) in an upper position, the pressure member (25) is displaceable by means of a transversely movable actuating member, especially by means of a crosspiece (60). <IMAGE>
