A b s t r a c t Method of attaching a drinking straw to a pack and apparatus for carrying out the method The specification describes a method of attaching a packed drinking straw (3) to a pack (11), and an apparatus for that purpose, wherein the packs (11) can be transported in a defined position on a conveyor (10) which can be moved continuously at a first speed. As a means of providing such a method and such an apparatus, in cases where the straw (3) is itself packed, the invention proposes that the packed drinking straws (3) be supplied in the form of a strip (2), separated, held by vacuum and intermittently conveyed to a transfer station (I-III, 6), from which the intermittent movement is converted to a continuous movement, and that the separated packed straws (3) then be attached to continuously conveyed packs (11). The method is carried out with the apparatus, in that a movably controllable pressure arm (17) has a means (16) for holding the straw (3), and can be moved along an application section (IV-V) adjacent the pack conveyor (10) at the same speed, in such a way that the straw (3) is pressed on and attached along that application section (VI-V).
