<p>A conveyor device with a circular path, particularly for groups of fragile cylindrical objects and for use in cigarette packing machines, comprises a wheel (1, 1') made to rotate about its axis and preferably in steps of predetermined angular size. The wheel is provided with a plurality of peripheral cells (101) which are open or openable at one end at least, in particular on one and/or both sides and/or at the outer perimeter of the wheel, to house groups of cylindrical objects. According to the invention, the wheel is divided into two parts (1, 1') physically separated along an intermediate plane perpendicular to the axis of the wheel, the two parts (1, 1') being mounted rotatably coaxially with each other and being driven in phase and in synchronization with each other. <IMAGE></p> |
