Bar like article supplying apparatus in hopper.

摘要

The present invention provides a supplying apparatus for supplying bar-like articles to a hopper, and more specifically to an apparatus for supplying bar-like articles such as cigarettes or filter plugs to the hopper, wherein a bottom lid, preventing fall of the articles into the hopper, comprises a plurality of small bottom lids, these small bottom lids being rotatable in a radial direction of the bar-like articles to make the moving stroke of the bottom lid small to miniaturize the entire apparatus and bar-like articles are supplied preferentially from a depressed portion in the upper surface of the bar-like articles within the hopper, thus eliminating a disturbance of the bar-like articles.
