Abstract: Apparatus for assembling multi-layer blocks of parallel cigarettes has a magazine with several outlets having narrow elongated horizontal openings for the discharge of successive layers of cigarettes. An endless conveyor transports a succession of variable-volume receptacles stepwise along a path a horizontal portion of which extends along the outlets so that the opening of each outlet registers with a receptacle when the conveyor is arrested. The volumes of the receptacles are varied by a system of cams, which act upon movable top walls of the receptacles, in such a way that the volumes of the receptacles exceed the space requirements of the layer or layers therein only while the conveyor is idle, i.e., while the receptacles in register with the openings of the outlets are about to receive and are in the process of receiving layers of cigarettes; during each stage of movement of the conveyor, each receptacle which contains one or more layers of cigarettes is filled to capacity because the system of cams ensures that the movable top wall of each such receptacle is held as close to the nearest layer of cigarettes as is necessary to prevent any misalignment of cigarettes in the receptacles due to rapid acceleration or deceleration and/or abrupt starting or stoppage of the conveyor.

Abstract translation: 用于组装平行香烟多层块的装置具有一个具有多个出口的仓，该出口具有窄的细长水平开口，用于排放连续的香烟层。 环形输送机沿着沿着出口延伸的水平部分的路径逐步输送一系列可变容积的容器，使得当输送机被阻止时，每个出口的开口与容器对准。 容器的体积由凸轮系统变化，凸轮系统作用在容器的可移动顶壁上，使得只有当输送机空转时，容器的体积才超过其中的层或空间的空间要求， 即，与出口的开口对齐的容器即将接收并处于接收香烟层的过程中; 在输送机的运动的每个阶段期间，包含一层或多层香烟的每个容器被填充到容积中，因为凸轮系统确保每个这样的容器的可移动顶壁被保持为接近最近的香烟层 必要的是防止由于快速加速或减速以及/或输送机的突然起动或停止导致香烟在接收器中的不对准。

Abstract: A device for transferring and verifying batches of cigarettes, placed transversely with respect to the direction in which they move forward and in superposed layers. Miniaturized reflection photocells in a number identical to the number of layers composing the cigarette batches are provided for checking cigarette ends. As each batch passes, each of the elements emits a signal in response to the performed check. These signals, converted into logical form by a first circuit block, pass into a second circuit block which, synchronized with cyclic signals indicative of the checking elements examining the central areas of the ends of the cigarettes, constitutes means for operating an ejector device.
