Abstract
A feeding device ('″) for feeding a continuous strip () into a continuous fibrous band, in a tobacco industry machine for manufacturing rod-like elements, wherein the fibrous band is formed to a form of a continuous rod (CR) comprising the continuous strip () surrounded by the continuous fibrous band, the feeding device (′″) comprising: a strip supply unit () for feeding the continuous strip (); a strip feeding unit () for feeding the continuous strip () into the middle of the continuous fibrous band; wherein the feeding device (′″) is configured such that the strip feeding unit () is located in the machine for manufacturing the rod-like elements between a fibrous band preparation unit () and a garniture unit () for forming the continuous rod. The feeding device (′″) further comprises: a feeding wheel (), having a circumferential surface () comprising a cylindrical guiding surface (A) for guiding the continuous strip (); and guiding surfaces (A;A;A;A;A;A;A;A). The guiding surfaces (A;A;A;A;A;A;A;A) and the cylindrical guiding surface (A) form a duct for guiding the continuous strip ().
