Cigarette supplying and stopping device used in a cigarette wrapping apparatus.

摘要

A cigarette wrapping apparatus is provided with stops (61) insertable in and retractable from cigarette supplying passageways (12) for supplying parallel arranged cigarettes (C) and a driving mechanism (60) of the stops (61). Each stop (61) is extended into the respective cigarette supplying passageway (12) to hold a cigarette (C) and stops the supply of the cigarette. The extension of the stops into the cigarette supplying passageways (12) automatically stops the supply of the cigarettes and also readily stops the operation of the wrapping apparatus in a short time. The pressing force of the stops (61) produced by the driving mechanism (60) is selected such that cigarettes (C) are not deformed or collapsed but are immovably held. <IMAGE>
