Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0648675A1] A packaging machine for delicate rod-shaped objects, especially cigarettes, comprises a feeder (1) that takes a succession of ordered groups of cigarettes (S) to a station (A) that feeds them to a unit (30) that transfers said ordered groups one after the other into a transfer station (T), in which each of them is transferred, by pusher means (13, 16) and together with a wrapping sheet (F), into an empty cigarette carrying socket (118) in a folding drum (18). According to the invention, the transfer unit (30) is constructed in such a way that the individual groups of cigarettes (S) are carried from the feeding station (A) to the transfer station (T) following a straight path (X) of predetermined length along a stationary conveying surface (4) which is in a predetermined position and which has an inlet end at the feeding station (A) and an outlet end at the transfer station (T). <IMAGE>
