Apparatus for winding webs or material

Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus for winding web-like or strip-like material such as paper, foil, film, textiles and the like. The apparatus comprises rotatably mounted and motor driven winding spindles, which are individually able to be moved along and located along a guide track, one respective full winding spindle being moved out of the winding position thereof after the winding operation and an empty winding spindle then being moved into this winding position substantially simultaneously. For changing the winding spindles in the winding position with a continuous supply of the material a first applying roll is brought into engagement on the wound material on the winding spindle located in the winding position and a second applying roll is moved into engagement with the wound material on the winding spindle moving out of the winding position. The applying rolls are mounted on essentially vertical pivot arms. Ends of the pivot arms remote from the applying rolls are arranged pivotally on at least one horizontally movable holding part. A control or automatic control device is provided for adjustment of the essentially vertical setting of the pivot arms by horizontal sliding of the at least one holding part. This ensures that on the one hand there is a simple construction and on the one hand a substantially mass-neutralized position of the applying rolls.
