Abstract
The disclosure is of a cigarette or like packet of composite foil, with lateral end flaps separated from inner neighboring longitudinal end flaps but continuously connected with outer longitudinal end flaps and folded in between the inner and outer end flaps with the formation of overlying triangular lappets. For making and filling the packet there is an apparatus with winding mandrels to roll the foil into a tube, and a turret having devices for filling the tube and forming it into a closed packet by folding end flaps.
Claims50
An apparatus for the production of parallelepipedic packets from a foldable cut-out shape of composite foil for the reception of cigarettes, the cut-out shape tubularly enclosing the packet content and having protruding end flaps folded over the end faces of the cigarettes, characterised by:
- a winding turret (52) having a plurality of mandrels (51) mounted thereon, each for the reception of a cut-out shape (32) for the production of a packet tube (50), means for rotating the mandrels about their own longitudinal axes, a folding turret (53) having devices mounted thereon for filling the packet tube (50) and closing it by folding its end flaps (40 to 43), and means for transfering the packet tube from the winding mandrels to the folding turret.
