The compensating device (53) is located internally of the hopper (3) and comprises an articulated mechanism (42) designed to create a movable wall (41), also a pair of lateral coneyors (47) converging toward the articulated mechanism (42), its operation being coordinated with that of a further device (19) by which the groups of cigarettes (2) are removed from the hopper (3), in such a way as to vary the capacity of the hopper according to the volume of cigarettes (2) removed.</p> |
