Abstract

See full text

The subject matter of the application is a method of feeding beads in the tobacco industry system, in a unit for transferring a stream of beads (2), from receiving pockets (18) to outfeeding pockets (21, 21′), where the beads are transferred along guiding grooves (5A, 5B, 6A, 6B, 6C) disposed on guiding plates (5, 5′, 6, 6′), comprising the steps in which: the beads are fed to a guiding chamber (22, 22′, 22″) formed at the intersection of the guiding groove (5A, 5B) of the first guiding plate (5, 5′) and the guiding groove (6A, 6B, 6C) of the second guiding plate (6, 6′); at least one guiding plate is rotated relative to the second guiding plate, which forces the movement of the guiding chamber (22, 22′, 22″) so that the distance of the guiding chamber (22, 22′, 22″) to the axis of rotation of the guiding plates changes; the beads are conveyed from the guiding chamber (22, 22′, 22″) to the outfeeding pocket (21, 21′). The subject matter of the application is also a device for the implementation of the method.
