Apparatus for high speed delivery of free flowing material

摘要

This invention relates to two parallel belts with pockets suspended between them. This pockets device is used in a machine which delivers free flowing material into receiving spaces separating filter plugs, as said plugs travel on a garniture tape. The pockets include channels or funnels through which free flowing material can flow. The belts carry the pockets in part parallel with and adjacent to the garniture tape carrying the filter plugs. The belts and the garniture tape are synchronized so that receiving spaces between the plugs precisely register with the funnels in the pockets. Such precise registry insures that the charcoal chute delivers free flowing material through the funnels into the receiving spaces.
