Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020240349A1] A device (10) is described for grouping blanks of smoking-article wrappers, coming one after another from a unit (104) for treating said blanks. The device (10) comprises a structure (12) for receiving said blanks having an inlet (12A) for said blanks coming from said treating unit (104), and a collecting space (S), in communication with said inlet (12A), for receiving said blanks and housing a group of said blanks under formation. The collecting space (S) extends along a reference axis (J) of said structure (12), and said structure is arranged with at least one support (15I, 15II, 15III, 15IV), for keeping the already-received blank or blanks in said collecting space close to said inlet (12A) and according to such an orientation that the lying plane of said blanks is transversal to said reference axis (J). The at least one support (15I, 15II, 15III, 15IV) is movable along said reference axis (J) for moving away the already-received said blank or said blanks from said inlet (12A), and enabling housing of a new blank (w2) in said collecting space (S).
