ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention provides a compensating storage device for compensating imbalances in the output of plants for producing cigarettes in which plants the cigarettes are fed directly from a manufacturing machine or machines to a grouping hopper arranged to feed a wrapping line of a packeting machine said device comprising a cylindrical body having radial cigarette- storing compartments, said body being adapted to axially rotate to carry successive radial storing compartments past means for delivering and withdrawing transversely arranged cigarettes, a support carrying said cylindrical body with its axis of rotation extending vertically and being connected to an actuating mechanism comprising a bidirectional motion source including a motion dir- ection transformer device so as to vertically align said radial storing compartments below a delivery channel station and above a withdrawal channel station for the cigarettes, a movable device carrying a plurality of overhanging mutually spaced rods, said movable device co-operating with said actuating mechanism by means of a disengageable drive device located before said motion direction transformer device, thereby carrying one of said rods perpendicularly disposed to said vertical rotational axis uni- directionally inside the radial storing compartment which is in alignment with said channel stations so as to support the cigar- ettes while they enter said radial storing compartment to be stored therein and to assist said cigarettes while the same are with- drawn or removed, said drive device and said motion direction transformer device being controlled by said machines and at least that channel section of each of said stations which is movably supported close to the cylindrical body being linked to said act- uating mechanism in combination with movable intercepting members arranged to stop the cigarette flow in synchronism with each successive radial storing compartment passing the location of said channel stations.
