摘要： A filter cigarette-manufacturing apparatus having a filter-supplying drum with grooves cut in its periphery, extending parallel to its axis, and spaced at equal intervals along the periphery. Two tip-bypassing drums are in rolling contact with the filter-supplying drum, and a tip-bypassing drum is in rolling contact with tip-bypassing drum. Each of these drums has similar grooves spaced along the periphery at the same intervals as those of the filter-supplying drum. Filter tips obtained by cutting a filter rod are supplied into one of the grooves of the filter-supplying drum. The tip-bypassing drums cooperate with the filter-supplying drum to bypass all the tips, except one which is transported forward by the filter-supplying drum. The other tips are finally fed from the tip-bypassing drums back to the filter-supplying drum, are spaced from the one tip by different distances defined by different numbers of grooves along the periphery of said filter-supplying drum, and then are transported forward as said filter-supplying drum rotates. As a result, the filter tips and other tips produced by cutting other filter rods are sequentially distributed into those grooves of said filter-supplying drum which are located downstream of said filter tip-bypassing drums.

摘要： A device for aligning rod-like matters, different in diameter at their heads and tails, in a direction while locating their heads forward in this direction. The device has a drum freely rotatable in a plane along the flow of the matters and provided with a groove on and along the circumference of the drum. The groove has a width larger than the diameter of the tails of the matters but smaller than that of the heads thereof. The matters transmitted onto the upper circumference portion of the drum are hung in the groove on the circumference of the drum. Keeping their heads hooked by both side rims of the groove and located upward while leaving their tails suspended in the groove. The device also has a feed-in conveyor system and a feed-out conveyor system. The feed-in conveyor system feeds the matters to the drum successively. The feed-out conveyor system receives the matters hung in the groove at the upper circumference portion of the drum in such a way that the tails of the matters hung in the groove are contacted at first with the feed-out conveyor system. The speed of the feed-out conveyor system is different from the peripheral speed of the drum.

摘要： A liquid charging method including the following steps. First, supplying liquid into and then discharging the liquid from an enclosed space provided above a pit block, to fill the liquid into a plurality of pits on the upper surface of the pit block. Each of the pits open at the upper surface of the pit block and have a small-diameter nozzle formed at the bottom of the pit block. Second, a tray having an array of containers with open upper ends is fed to be positioned below the pit block at a specified liquid-charged position. Pressurized air is supplied into the enclosed space to apply pressure on the liquid in the pits, thereby forcing the liquid in the pits to flow through the small-diameter nozzles into the array of containers on the tray.

摘要： A method and apparatus for charging liquid into open, empty containers or capsules in a process of making liquid-filled capsules that are to be loaded into cigarette filters and may contain water, perfume or other substances to improve taste of cigarettes. Liquid is supplied to a hermetically enclosed space formed above a pit block and around the outer circumference thereof and then discharged from it to fill the liquid in a plurality of pits that pass through the pit block. Each pit has a narrow nozzle. A plurality of containers mounted on a tray are carried to a predetermined position under the pit block so that the containers are located immediately below the corresponding nozzles. An air pressure is supplied to the enclosed space to pressurize the liquid contained in the pits and thereby force the liquid to flow down the nozzles into the containers on the tray, which is then moved from under the pit block.

摘要： The vented filter cigarette is produced by combining a filter having a highly air-permeable circumferential surface and a tipping paper having a plurality of pores. The tipping paper has an embossment in the area of the pores formed therein. The embossment serves to create a slight gap between the tipping paper and the circumferential surface of the filter, by which the tightness therebetween is loosened. Thus, the filter ventilation is increased, and the variation in the degree of the ventilation can be reduced.
