Abstract: The invention relates to a package of smoking articles comprising: a front wall; a rear wall; a bottom; two side walls; and at least a first support wall, which has a first group of seats for receiving, each one, a smoking article and is arranged in proximity to the front wall so as to be transversal to the front wall and to the rear wall. Each side wall has: a first portion proximal to the front wall; a second portion proximal to the rear wall; and a folding line arranged between the first portion and the second portion so as to allow the folding of the first portion on the second portion, or vice versa, causing the mutual distancing and approach of the front wall and of the rear wall.

Abstract: A manufacturing machine and method for producing a cartridge for an electronic cigarette includes a first assembling drum mounted rotatable around a first rotation axis and has a first seat to house a support of a heating device coupled to a wick with an electrical coil, and a second seat axially aligned with the first seat and designed to house a tank. At a first feeding station, a support of a heating device coupled to a wick with an electrical coil is fed into the first seat. At a second feeding station, a tank is fed into the second seat. A first insertion station is arranged downstream of the first and second feeding stations and provided with a first pushing device, which axially moves the support of a heating device from the first seat to the second seat to insert the support into a tank carried by the second seat.

Abstract: A method to set up at least one movable operating member (5, 7) of an automatic machine (1) for manufacturing consumer articles (3) comprising the steps (16, 17) of: defining a first motion profile (FP) of the movable operating member (5, 7), determining possible imperfections in the processing of the articles (3), defining a corresponding second motion profile (SP) of an electric actuator system (8, 9), which, through a motion transmission system (12), is mechanically connected to the movable operating member (5, 7) and moves the movable operating member (5, 7) with the first motion profile (FP), correcting, by means of an interface device (15) of the automatic machine (1) and based on the possible determined imperfections, at least one conversion parameter (50) concerning the processing on the articles (3) performed by the movable operating member (5, 7); processing the first motion profile (FP), thus obtaining a first modified profile (MFP) of the movable operating member (5, 7).

Abstract: A pack for smoking articles comprising: a group of smoking articles wrapped by an inner wrap and housed in a rigid outer container provided with a lid hinged to the outer container; a collar partially projecting from an open upper end; and a locking system comprising: a support element arranged in the outer container in contact with the collar and provided with two coupling wings, which project movably outwards to move closer or away from each other; and two first through openings, each obtained through a wall of the lid, houses at least a portion of a corresponding coupling wing, to activate the locking system, preventing the lid from rotating from the closed to the open position. An external action of the user releases the coupling wing to deactivate the locking system. The locking system can be reactivated by rotating the lid from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: A method to set up at least one moveable operating member of an automatic machine for manufacturing consumer articles and comprising the steps of defining a first motion profile of the movable operating member and defining a corresponding second motion profile of an electric actuator system, which moves the moveable operating member with the first motion profile. The method calls for the further steps of: determining possible imperfections in the processing of the articles caused by the movable operating member; correcting, by means of an interface device and on the basis of the possible imperfections, the first motion profile, thus obtaining a first changed profile of the moveable operating member; and calculating, through a control unit, a reverse kinematics of the first changed profile so as to obtain a corresponding second changed profile to be commanded to the electric actuator system.

Abstract: A packing method and unit to pack articles, includes: moving first seats by a first conveyor and second seats by a second conveyor along first and second paths at first and second moving speeds, respectively; and cyclically transferring an article from a first seat to a second seat in a transfer station. The first seats and second seats each designed to house an article. During normal operation with no rejected articles, the first moving speed is functionally equal to the second moving speed, and the same number of first and second seats pass through the transfer station in a given time interval. Where at least one article is rejected in a first seat, the second moving speed is functionally decreased relative to the first moving speed so that two first seats (one containing the rejected article) passes through the transfer station in the time interval as one second seat.
