ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a compensating storage device for compensating imbalances in the output of a plant for producing cigarettes in which plant the cigarettes are directly fed from at least one manufacturing machine to a grouping hopper arranged to feed a wrapping line of a packeting machine, said device including an axially rotatable cylindrical body having radial cigarette-storage compartments and arranged on rotation to carry successive radial storage compartments past means for delivering and withdrawing transversely arranged cigarettes, a support carrying said cylindrical body with its axis of rotation extending vertically, said body being connected to an actuating mechanism comprising a bidirectional motion source controlled by said manufacturing and packeting machines, and an intermittently operating transmission device adapted to vertically position said radial storage compartments below a cigarette delivering duct station and above a cigarette withdrawing duct station, a movable device carrying a plurality of mutually spaced overhanging rods co-operating with said actuating mechanism by means of a motion direction transformer device, so as to convey, in an arrangement perpendicular to said vertical axis of rotation, at least one of said rods unidirectionally inside a radial storing compartment which is located at said duct stations by-passing through at least a section of duct in each of said stations so as to support the cigarettes while the cigarettes enter said radial storing compart- ments to be stored therein and to assist the cigarettes while being withdrawn therefrom, and a duct section of each of said delivery and withdrawing stations which is unaffected by the movement of said rods, being movably supported and controlled by a respective electromagnetic control device monitored respectively by the packeting machine and the said mechanism arranged to move the movable duct section of the delivery station, and by the manufacturing machine and the mechanism arranged to move the movable duct section of the withdrawing station.
