摘要

The device for the high speed feeding of cigarette filter rods from a magazine, through a vertical chute, to a rotary pick-up drum arranged at the bottom end of the vertical chute, comprises an endless suction belt which defines one side wall of the vertical chute and an adjoining portion of the bottom wall of the magazine. In this manner, the filter rods are positively pushed downwardly through the chute.
