Abstract
In a cigarette packing machine a pusher device for the ejection of cigarette groups formed in a composition chamber from the said composition chamber into a receiving pocket comprises a first continuous endless conveyor provided with pushers mounted thereon, said pushers sequentially engaging the said composition chamber in the direction of the axis of the cigarettes and thus ejecting from the said chamber the formed cigarette group. Each pusher is carried by a supporting rod which is telescopically slidable in a tubular carrier element rotatably mounted on said first conveyor and the telescopically slidable supporting rod is connected through a crank linkage to a second endless conveyor parallel to the said first conveyor, while the tubular carrier element is mounted on a pin rotatable on a support provided on the first conveyor and is connected through another crank linkage a third endless conveyor parallel to the first conveyor. The first conveyor is located forwardly with respect to the other two conveyors, and all the said three conveyors rotate synchronously in the same direction.
