Method and apparatus for dispensing unconfined flat coiled strips, mults of which have been stacked in coaxial alignment. The mults form an enlarged cluster coil and in some cases the mults are severably attached to one another. Strip dispensing is effected successively from one coil at a time by means of a turntable upon which the coiled mults are set and associated accessory gear, including supportive coactively mounted coiled snubber and clamping coils, gate and dancer rolls with associated speed control and a pay-out basket assembly, adapted to rotate the dispensed strip to a desired plane. The invention is characterized by eye to the sky dispensing of strips from coils which, aside from the stacking, are otherwise unconfined. In a refined form wherein mutliple mults are attached to one another, the strip is peeled from a given mult by a peeling-blade which is associated with the snubber roller.
In the dispensing of flexible materials from coils wherein multiple coils are stacked coaxially upon one another to form an enlarged coil, the combination of:
In the pay-out handling of stacked and tab secured rolls forming an enlarged coil of split strip mults wherein strips of the mults may be dispensed by means of rotary turntable, the combination of:
