Method and apparatus for supplying wrapping material to cigarette packing and like machines

摘要

Wrapping material which is supplied from a reel to the intermittently actuated withdrawing tongs of a cigarette packing machine is looped in a magazine adjacent to the tongs and is stabilized against fluttering and other stray movements by a pneumatic conveyor which attracts one leg of the loop and tensions it so that such leg of the loop remains in its prescribed path.
