<p>In apparatus to supply an uninterrupted stream of paste, particularly for use in a continuous-rod cigarette-making machine, paste is normally delivered from a main container, but when the main container is empty, the paste supply is maintained from an auxiliary container. The main container is refilled while the auxiliary container is operating and when paste is again delivered from the main container, part of the paste goes to recharge the auxiliary container while further paste is simultaneously delivered from the apparatus. The auxiliary container may be arranged in series between the main container and a nozzle from which the paste is discharged.</p> |
