Abstract
Glue nozzles (14) are used for the purpose of transferring glue to packs (10). Said glue nozzles can be moved by a pivot arm (18) into a maintenance position, in which the glue nozzle (14) is located alternatively above a collecting container (24) for portions of glue or above a water container (25). The water container (25) is assigned a rotatable roller (22) which is made of elastic material, in particular foam, and assumes the function of a cleaning and closure element for the glue nozzle (14).
