Abstract

The device for transferring and combining cigarette packs coming out from two packers operating in parallel, in order to obtain a single feeding line for a wrapping machine, comprises two parallel conveyors which receive the packs from the cigarette packers, and a transversal conveyor which receives the packs from both mentioned parallel conveyors and feeds them to the wrapping machine. In correspondence of the discharge end of each parallel conveyor there is arranged a revolving transfer wheel which transfers the packs from the discharge end of the parallel conveyor to the underlying transversal conveyor, through an arcuate transfer channel. The two transfer wheels are driven in such a manner that each pack deposited by the second transfer wheel, i.e. the wheel which is arranged subsequently after the other transfer wheel, or first transfer wheel, in the direction of conveyance of the transversal conveyor, comes to lie on the said transversal conveyor between two packs deposited by the said first preceding transfer wheel.
