Abstract

A device for displacing rod-shaped objects used in the tobacco-processing industry in a direction of the longitudinal axes of the rod-shaped objects includes a revolving conveyor having receptacles each for receiving a plurality of the rod-shaped objects in an axially aligned formation, the rod-shaped objects presenting at least one exposed frontal face. At least one revolving pressing ring is arranged for pressing against the at least one frontal face of the objects in a displacement area, the pressing ring having a spring-elastic material of a silicon material, rubber-elastic plastic material and/or a metallic material. At least one actuating element is arranged in the displacement area for a spring-elastic pressing of the pressing ring against the exposed frontal face objects.
