A device for transferring rod-like articles, particularly cigarettes, from a rectilinear horizontal path to a rotary fluted drum having its axis of rotation substantially parallel to the rectilinear path. The device has two main rotary elements which rotate on two fixed shafts and which are coupled by at least one pair of main double cranks each having an arm integral with two crank pins to form an articulated parallelogram type rotary system. A crank pin of at least one main double crank extends beyond the respective main rotary element and ends with an eccentric pin to form a pair of parallel orbiting axes which carry respective secondary rotary elements coupled by at least one pair of secondary double cranks to form a second articulated parallelogram type rotary system. The crank pin of at least one second double crank extends beyond the respective secondary rotary element to form an extension on which there is a pneumatic pick-up or a suction head. The other secondary rotary element is rotated and coupled to the fixed main shaft about which it rotates.
