Abstract
To transfer reels (11) to supporting journals (15, 16) of a reel-changing device (12) of a packaging machine (10), the supporting journal (15) is axially displaceable. As a result, the reel can be delivered in the working plane or run-off plane without any transverse displacement and held in the receiving position, while the supporting journal (15, 16) penetrates into a central orifice (42) in the reel (11) as a result of axial displacement.
Claims19
Apparatus for transferring and feeding reels of packaging material to a reel-changing device of a packaging machine, the real-changing device having at least one supporting journal which projects from a reel supporting frame and which penetrates into a central orifice in the reel for the mounting of the latter;
- said apparatus comprising:
- means for mounting said supporting journal (15, 16) on said reel supporting frame (17), so as to be axially displaceable, and for pushing said journal (15, 16) from a retracted initial position into an extended position in a central orifice (42) in the reel (11) to receive the reel supplied in a working plane;
- a pivotably mounted conveying arm (13) for feeding the reels (11) of the reel-changing device (12);
- and
- a transversely projecting reel conveying journal (28) which is arranged on said conveying arm (13) and which is axially displaceable in order to receive a reel in a transfer station (14) and to deliver the reel to the reel-changing device (12).
