摘要：The invention relates to a feeler pin device for the quality and/or quantitytesting, and/or the levelling of cigarettes. The device comprises a plurality of feeler pinswhich are set in a substantially co- axial relation with the cigarettes to be tested orlevelled, and which are moved from a retracted rest position axially toward the

respective cigarettes, so as to contact the cigarette ends, whereby they apply thereon anelastic pressure, such as to shift the cigarette or the cigarettes against a suitable

abutment for aligning same, and/or they signal the presence or absence of cigarettes, orthe degree of filling of the ends thereof, and/or the presence or the absence of the filtertip, by the aid of means responsive to the stroke length of each feeler pin with respect toits support. The feeler pins are held in their retracted rest position within a fixed supportagainst the bias of biasing springs, by control means which let the feeler pins free tomove forward, with respect to their support, under the action of the associated biasingsprings, toward the corresponding cigarette or cigarettes to be tested and/or levelled,and which will retract, against the action of the biasing springs, the feeler pins into theirrest position.
