ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides in a chute filling device for use solely with cigarette tubes empty of tobacco and having respective filters on one end thereof, the device in- cluding a funnel and a chute divided by partitions with a dis- charge opening and a pushing ram, the improvement comprising: means for loosely suspending said partitions with substantially uniform play throughout their lengths, said means for suspending including a first plurality of slits of substantially uniform width along their lengths and depths in a plate defining a floor of the device and a second plurality of slits of substantially uniform width along their lengths and depths in a swing frame, one end of each of said partitions being placed in a respective one of said slits of uniform width in said plate and the other end of each of said partitions being placed in a respective one of said slits of uniform width in said swing frame, said uniform width of each of said slits being greater than the thickness of the respective end of that partition positioned therein, and means to vibrate said partitions to impart lateral movements of adjacent ones of said partitions toward and away from one another so that the cigarette tubes empty of tobacco and having the respective filters at ends thereof are braked in their downward fall after each action of the pushing ram by frequent contact with slides of said partitions which vibrate with lateral motion towards and away from adjacent ones thereof in said slits of substantially uniform widths, the tubes moving downwardly while maintaining a substantially horizontal position as a result of the braking action.
