A pit (14) along which a moving platform (15) with a transverse continuous track section (16) is displaceable is arranged at a reel stand (12). Feed tracks (10, 11) and also a plurality of storage tracks (17) in the form of stub tracks and intended for receiving carriages (6) each having a prepared paper reel (5) abut the lateral edge of the pit (14). Further storage tracks (17) are arranged on the opposite side of the pit (14), in each case aligned with one of said storage tracks (17) or a feed track (10, 11). During printing, the carriages (6) parked on the storage tracks (17) are fed as required via the moving platform (15) to the reel stand (12) and the paper reels (5) are mounted in the axis.
Installation for feeding paper reels whose diameter does not exceed a maximum diameter to at least one reel stand having unwinding axes parallel to a transverse direction, comprising a pit which is of constant width and extends away from the reel stand in a longitudinal direction making a right angle with the transverse direction of said reel stand, and a moving platform displaceable in the longitudinal direction in the pit and having a track section which is continuous in the transverse direction from one longitudinal edge of the pit to the other, and comprising at least one feed track leading on a feed side in the transverse direction to the longitudinal edge of the pit, characterized in that at least one storage track leading away from the longitudinal edge of the pit (14) in the transverse direction is arranged on the feed side, and at least two such storage tracks are arranged on a side opposite thereto, in such a way that the lateral distance of each storage track from each other storage track arranged on the same side or feed track is greater than the maximum diameter.
