    Patent number: 4345709
    Abstract: A web splicing device for a cigarette making machine, includes a reservoir in which web is accumulated prior to splicing, and a suction brake acting on the web after it leaves the reservoir so as to tension the web, characterized in that there is an auxiliary suction brake, upstream of the first-mentioned suction brake, having a guide which during normal operation holds the web away from the auxiliary suction brake in view of the tension in the web, but allows the web to engage the auxiliary suction brake when the tension falls as a result of web being accumulated in the reservoir in preparation for splicing or for any other reason.
