Abstract
Apparatus for conveying rods of the cigarette industry, comprising a fluted drum for carrying rods in the flutes thereof, and means for feeding rods into the flutes of the drum, comprising movable conveyor means disposed in proximity to said drum for conveying a stack-like stream of the rods directly onto the drum whereby motion of the conveyor means towards the drum urges the stream of rods towards the drum and into contact therewith, thus ensuring that the flutes of the drum are filled with rods after passing the stack-like stream. Control means are preferably included for controlling movement of the conveyor means towards the drum whereby the said motion is sufficient to convey said stream of rods towards the drum at a rate just sufficient to fill the flutes of the drum.
