Abstract
Apparatus for transporting holders for filled cigarette trays from the lower level of a tray filling machine to the higher level of a removing station defines an elliptical path at the vertex of which filled trays are removed from the holders and at the lowermost point of which empty holders receive trays which are filled with arrays of cigarettes. The holders are transported by conveyors which are directly or indirectly mounted on levers rotating about axes which are defined by the arms of a further lever rotating about a fixed axis. The holders are guided in such a way that their orientation remains unchanged during transport along the elliptical path.
