Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19913849A1] During the production of cigarettes (10) cigarettes are cut from a continuous cigarette rod (11) and transferred by a transfer unit (23) to a discharge unit or a trough drum (29). The transfer unit (23) comprises cavities (22) which receive a cigarette (10) and by means of crank-like supports (31) are transported along a motion path having the shape of a cycloid. To this end the supports (31) can be moved by two planetary gear trains (44, 45).
