Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spacer device of a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry, which supports a wrapping strip section, in particular a tipping paper leaflet, over a predetermined width of the wrapping strip section, wherein the spacer device is formed as a spacer strip. Furthermore, the invention relates to a conveyor drum of the tobacco processing industry.
  • a double-length filter or mouthpiece is inserted between cut and longitudinally spaced tobacco sticks, with a glued connecting leaflet or padding plate then being attached to a tobacco stick-mouthpiece-tobacco stick group.
  • the glued connection leaflet via a suction roller of a padding device with a defined, predetermined pitch or cross-axial distance promoted tobacco rod mouthpiece-tobacco rod group supplied.
  • EP-A-1 466 535 a Filteransetzmaschine is described in which alternately every second group of articles is provided with padding on a conveyor drum and the other group of items is fed to a second pad paper feeding device.
  • the conveyor drum is designed as ⁇ rmchentrommel with lever segments for each one article, in which the lever segments for those articles which are provided on a first tipping paper feeder with a connecting plate, spacers, which prevent sticking of glued connection laminae to the surface of the lever segments.
  • EP-A-0 620 983 Furthermore, a method for the production of filter cigarettes is disclosed.
  • a glued tipping paper strip is cut on a tipping roller into tipping paper strips which are adhered to smoking article groups with the leading end of the tipping paper strip applied to a holding member.
  • the holding member is formed in the form of a suction bore.
  • FR-A-1 414 956 a device for laying around a compound leaflet around a group formed from a double mouthpiece and two cigarettes, wherein the smoking article groups are passed with a leaflet attached thereto to a rolling drum.
  • the roller drum has movable trough blocks with a rolling surface to be applied to the connecting blades.
  • the object of the present invention is the production of conveyor drums of Tobacco processing industry with spacers for connection papers to simplify, it should be possible to facilitate the cleaning of a conveyor drum.
  • a spacer device of a conveyor drum of the tobacco-processing industry which supports a wrapping strip portion, in particular a tipping paper, over a predetermined width of the strip portion, wherein the spacer means is formed as a spacer bar, which is further developed in that the spacer bar on a conveyor segment of Conveyor drum is formed, wherein the spacer bar is formed as an injection molded part and the spacer bar is arranged as a component on the conveyor segment or is.
  • a plurality of juxtaposed needles are provided for supporting a tipping paper leaflet on a tipping paper drum, wherein on a segment body first holes must be drilled in order to use the needles that come into contact with the tipping paper leaflet and hold the leaflet subsequently.
  • the preparation of such segments with spacer needles requires high accuracy and is very time consuming.
  • a repair of a broken spacer needle or a spacer is very expensive.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the spacer bar is formed integrally, for example, so that a wrapping strip section for a smoking article of the tobacco-processing industry is held across the width of the strip section. Due to the one-piece design as a spacer bar, the production of conveyor drums, for example, a tamping paper drum much easier because on the one hand the production of spacer elements or spacer segments is simplified in the manufacturing process. In addition, the cleaning of a conveyor drum is improved with such spacer segments or spacer strips, since less glue settles on the contact surface of the glued pad paper leaves. In addition, if necessary, the cleaning brushes for a lining paper drum on a filter attachment machine omitted.
