Method of forming a cigarette pack on a packaging machine

Patent name: Method of forming a cigarette group on a packaging machine Patent applicant Kyrgyz Joint Stock Company Principal Applicant Address Bologna, Italy inventor Gilberto Spirilito; Alessandro Minareli Application (Patent) No. 200510055973.6 Application Date 2005.03.22 Certification Date Approval Notice No. 1736802 Auditing Notice Date 2006.02.22 Instruction CD No. D0608-1 Main Classification No. B65B19/12(2006.01) I Classification No. B65B19/12(2006.01) I Division Original Application No. Priority Item 2004.3.22 IT BO2004A000166 Abstract A method of forming a group of cigarettes on a packaging machine such that the conveyor (5) feeds successive packages through a plurality of group forming stations (17) in steps. The pack (6) accommodates a respective group (2) of cigarettes (3) axially fed to the relevant pack (6) using a separate pusher (21) in a normal cycle operation sequence (S2) Driven in, selectively moving through the respective group forming station (17); and thereby, preventing failure due to non-supply of the relevant package (6) by replacing the normal cyclic operation sequence (S2) with a different cyclic sequence (S3) The groups cause gaps formed along the conveyor (5), which can ensure that only all packages (6) of the fully operating group forming station (17) are filled. Sovereignty Item 1. A method of forming a group (2) of cigarettes (3) on a packaging machine (4), the method comprising the steps of: feeding in a first constant sequence (S1) of a length (7) The continuous packaging box (6) is passed through a plurality of groups to form a table (17); and each group (2) on the corresponding group forming table (17) is fed axially by a separate pusher (21). The box (6) drives the pusher (21) in a second cyclic operation sequence (S2) to selectively move through the respective group forming station (17) so as to feed through the group forming station (17) When packing the box (6), all the boxes (6) are filled; the method is characterized by further comprising the step of preventing the supply of faulty groups to the relevant box by deactivating the associated group forming station (17). (6) By preventing the formation of a gap due to no failure group being supplied by replacing the second cycle operation sequence (S2) with a third cycle sequence (S3), the third cycle operation sequence (S3) ensures that only a fully-working group is filled All the boxes (6) of the table (17) are formed.
