  • Patent number: 11117694
    Abstract: A packer machine and wrapping method to produce a pack of smoking articles; the packer machine has: a first wrapping drum, which supports a first wrapping pocket, which is adapted to receive a first blank and subsequently a group of smoking articles; a first feeding station, in which the first blank is inserted into the first wrapping pocket; a first transfer station, which is arranged downstream of the first feeding station and in which the group of smoking articles is inserted into the first wrapping pocket; a second wrapping drum, which supports at least one second wrapping pocket, which is adapted to receive a second blank and subsequently an inner container, which is formed by folding the first blank; a second feeding station, in which the second blank is inserted into the second wrapping pocket; a second transfer station, which is arranged downstream of the second feeding station and in which the inner container is inserted into the second wrapping pocket; and a third wrapping drum, which supports at le

  • Patent number: 6692197
    Abstract: At least two cutting plates are provided for a metal cutting tool, particularly adopted for milling work, which are in direct contact with each other and therefore support each other. A particularly simple design of a plate seat may be used for a plurality of teeth with the cutting plates of a single chip groove in direct contact with each other for permitting a large metal cutting output.

  • Publication number: 20010033776
    Abstract: A cutter plate, in particular a spherical face milling cutter, is provided for a cutting tool, and is made of a hard metal and has four wings with cutting edges. The cutting body, which is cruciform in a view from the front, has cutting edges, which extend from the area of the circumference of the cutting tool as far as its axis of rotation, or at least close to it. A simple clamping device, for example a clamping claw, is sufficient for fastening the cutting body on the tool body. The cutting body provides a distribution of the forces acting on one or several wings to all wings, in particular during interrupted cutting, wherein not all the cutting edges of the cutting body are in simultaneous contact with the workpiece, so that a good force transfer to the tool body is possible.
