  • Patent number: 11167913
    Abstract: A spacer support for packets of smoking articles includes a plurality of through housing compartments to receive at least one packet and having a pair of apertures on opposite sides for introducing or extracting the packets, and wherein the spacer support also includes a pair of lateral walls having a plurality of opposite windows, and a pair of connection walls which extend between the connecting lateral walls. A plurality of positioning elements and a plurality of access openings are disposed alternately one after the other, in succession in the longitudinal direction, so that each housing compartment is delimited by the pair of opposite lateral walls and by the positioning elements so as to stably retain the packets in a static manner relative to the longitudinal direction.
