Abstract
Printed slips are applied to packets in a cigarette packer by a unit comprising a first device designed to feed slips procured as single items and ordered in a stack, or a second device designed to feed slips obtainable as cuts generated from a continuous strip; the two feed devices are conceived as mutually interchangeable accessory components that can be mounted in identical manner to a universal pickup and application device that is installed permanently in the machine and able to take up the slips with equal facility from either the first or the second feed device at a pickup station.
