<p>On a filter assembly machine (1), two coaxial cigarette portions (5a, 5b), initially contacting each other end to end, are parted by a parting drum (2), wherein a rotary conveyor (8) for pairs (4) of cigarette portions (5) is mounted for rotation on a cam drum (17), and has at least one pair of cigarette portion holder slides (10) moved axially in opposite directions along the rotary conveyor (8) by the cam drum (17); the distances between the slides (10) at a pickup station (3) and a release station (7), where the cigarette portions (5) are picked up and released respectively, is adjusted by adjusting an angular position of the cam drum (17) with respect to the pickup station (3) and the release station (7). <IMAGE></p> |
