Roll-removal device, winding device and method for transporting away a plurality of rolls which have been wound to completion

A roll-removal device by means of which a plurality of rolls which have been wound to completion are transported away from a winding shaft, which device is comprised of the following:

• a displacement device for displacing the rolls relative to the winding shaft, in order to withdraw the rolls from the winding shaft, wherein the displacement device has prominences that contact the roll;
• a receiving device for receiving the rolls;
• and
• a transfer device for transferring the rolls from the displacement device to the receiving device, wherein the rolls can be rolled freely at least in certain regions, the rolls rolling about their rolling axes;
• wherein
• a device for changing the positions of the roll axes of the rolls, whereby the roll axes of two adjacent rolls can be brought to an angle (α) of less than 180 degrees in relation to each another.
