A transfer device according to the invention comprises a transfer tool (5, 17, 21) which is activated by a rectilinear guide, i.e. by a mechanism made such that a point of attachment (11) of the transfer tool (5, 17, 21) describes a rectilinear trajectory, whereas the drive element (7) is provided with non-rectilinear motion, and in particular with angular motion, which rectilinear guide consists of an articulated multilateral (7, 8, 10; 7, 8, 10, 20), and in particular an articulated quadrilateral or pentalateral. The subject of the invention is also a packaging machine for cigarettes or the like, in which, whenever possible, for each transfer of product into the processing path of the machine, rectilinear transfer units for the products are used, which transfer units are actuated by means of transfer devices activated by articulated multilaterals (7, 8, 10; 7, 8, 10, 20). <IMAGE> |
