STRIP GUIDING DEVICE, PARTICULARLY FOR CIGARETTE MAKING MACHINES

摘要

A strip guiding device particularly suitable for being used with cigarette manufacturing machines for the automatic forward movement of at least a strip of paper along a substantially U-shaped path is disclosed. The device includes a hollow pulley around which a central curved section of the path extends, at least a chamber disposed along the path downstream with respect to the pulley, and a suction device communicating with the chamber and with the interior of the hollow pulley. The walls of the pulley which extend along the path are perforated, and an air-permeable belt conveyor extends at least along the perforated wall of the chamber.
