Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1118543A1] The method comprises opening the top of a container; moving the container from one level to a different second level; and then causing the container to change its orientation from one orientation in which the products are located below the opened top to a second orientation in which the products are evacuated through the opened top by gravity flow. Independent claims are included for apparatus for automatically manipulating initially closed containers containing smokers' products.
