Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019007814A1] The invention relates to an apparatus (10) designed and intended to transfer rod-like articles (11) in the tobacco-processing industry from an apparatus (12) for conveying the rod-like articles (11) along a transverse axis to an apparatus (13) for conveying the rod-like articles (11) along a longitudinal axis, or vice versa, comprising a flexible-format conveying means (14), which can be driven in rotation about a horizontally directed axis of rotation I and has at least one article holder (15) for the rod-like articles (11), wherein the, or each, article holder (15) is designed and intended to remove or discharge the rod-like articles (11) and, by rotation about the axis of rotation I, describes a circle LK, at the lower vertex S of which is located the receiving position A1, in which the rod-like articles (11) are received from the apparatus (13) for conveying the rod-like articles (11) along a longitudinal axis, and/or the discharging position A2, in which the rod-like articles (11) are discharged onto said apparatus, and also comprising an acceleration drum (16), which can be driven in rotation about a horizontally directed axis of rotation II, wherein the axis of rotation II of the acceleration drum (16) runs transversely to the axis of rotation I of the flexible-format conveying means (14), wherein the flexible-format conveying means (14) is designed in a movable manner for adjustment of the distance between the axis of rotation I of the flexible-format conveying means (14) and the receiving position A1 and/or the discharging position A2, the apparatus being distinguished in that the flexible-format conveying means (14) is designed in a movable manner, for the distance adjustment, independently of, and relative to, the acceleration drum (16). The invention also relates to an arrangement (27) having such an apparatus (10).
