Abstract: Rigid pack for rod-shaped articles includes; a parallelepiped-shaped container, which houses the group of articles and has at least a lower wall, a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls; and a support system arranged in the container and has at least a first containing wall, which is parallel to the lower wall and is provided with a plurality of through holes, each engaged by a corresponding smoking article. The support system consists of a first articulated parallelogram having a frame glued to the rear wall of the container, two cranks and a connecting rod, which only rests against the front wall of the container, so that, while the rigid pack is being manufactured, the support system can be formed with the first articulated parallelogram in a flat condition and can subsequently be expanded by opening the first articulated parallelogram by rotation of both cranks.

Abstract: A manufacturing machine for producing disposable cartridges for electronic cigarettes can have a manufacturing drum supporting at least one group of seats, each adapted to receive a component of the disposable cartridge; and a feeding unit which feeds the components of the disposable cartridges to the seats. Each seat has a housing through channel crossing the manufacturing drum from side-to-side to contain a component and a pair of opposite jaws mounted in the housing channel and movable between a gripping position, in which they engage a component arranged in the housing channel and a transfer position, in which they do not engage the component. Each pair of jaws has two teeth arranged at the top and projecting from the corresponding jaws towards the center of the seat, so that the two teeth hold the component inside the seat at the top when the two jaws are in the gripping position.

Abstract: A feeding unit which is configured to feed articles from a pick-up station to a delivery station. The feeding unit comprises: a gripping head provided with at least one gripping means and attached to a shaft. The shaft is configured to translate along the rotation axis between a lowered position, in which the articles are picked up and released by the gripping head, and a raised position, in which the gripping head rotates between the pick-up station and the delivery station. The feeding unit comprises two actuators which are coaxial to the shaft and which are configured to respectively translate the shaft between the lowered position and the raised position along the rotation axis and to rotate the shaft around the rotation axis between the pick-up station and the delivery station.
