Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1772378A1] A rotating central member (10) brings into rotation a plurality of shaped heads (20) distributed on a circumference centred on the rotation axis A of the member (10) itself, each shaped head (20) having an external shape corresponding to the shape of a partially folded cover wrapper (Rp); means, applied in the central member (10), meter the material and insert the metered amount within said partially folded wrapper (Rp), operating through said shaped heads (20) and first folding means fold the cover sheets during the movement of the shaped heads (20). Around the central member (10), a plurality of hollow bodies (40) is placed, integrally movable in rotation with the central member (10), opposite and coaxial with the shaped heads (20), equipped with relative motion of approaching and moving away from the respective heads (20). Each hollow body (40) has a cavity (43) open towards the respective head (20) adapted to receive the partially folded wrapper (Rp) and a metered amount of material. Second folding means complete the folding of the cover.
