Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014064613A1] The machine of the invention, for making adjustably ventilated cigarettes, comprises a unit (30) for turning a first portion (23) of cigarette (3) comprising a first slit (19); the turning unit (30) in turn comprises gripping means (34) for the first portion (23) and retaining means (35) for a second portion (24) of cigarette (3) comprising a second slit (20); the gripping means (34) are capable of imparting torque to the first portion (23) which, by turning about the axis (3a) of the cigarette (3) by a predetermined angle (θ), offsets the first slit (19) relative to the second slit (20), thus causing the second slit (20) to close.
