Abstract
A web spooling machine with automatic spool changing equipment in which an empty spool is placed against the web between the feed roller and the full spool. Pivoting arms carry a cutter blade which cooperates with a pivoting anvil or counterblade to sever the web. At the same time, an elastic guide engages the severed end of the web to guide it over the new spool while a pressure roller keeps it in place. The cutter blade is propelled into the path of the moving web by a torsional spring which is wound up by a cam follower whenever the mechanism returns to its starting position.
