Abstract
Apparatus for reciprocating the tubular rod guide which supports the cigarette rod during severing by the orbiting knife of a cutoff has a pair of identical drives whose first driving units receive rotary motion from a common driver gear and transmit torque to eccentrically mounted second driving units. The second driving units support an eccentrically mounted holder for the rod guide. The eccentricity of the second driving units with reference to the respective first driving units is the same as the eccentricity of the holder with reference to the second driving units. The RPM of the first driving units is half the RPM of the second driving units, and the first and second driving units of each drive rotate in opposite directions. Elastic cushions are interposed between the holder and each second driving unit.
