Abstract
A cigarette packing machine wherein a turret with equidistant prismatic mandrels is indexible stepwise so as to locate successive mandrels at a draping station during each period of idleness between successive stepwise advances. A sheet-like blank is draped around the mandrel at the draping station by a cylindrical brush which is eccentrically mounted on a disk rotating with a shaft which orbits about a fixed axis parallel to the axis of the turret. The shaft is rotated about its own axis by a gear train while it orbits about the fixed axis whereby the brush travels about the mandrel at the draping station to convert the blank into an open-ended tube which is thereupon converted into one layer of a cigarette pack.
