Abstract
In an apparatus for paying out web sections (50), comprising a dispenser roll (38) and a supply roll (40), a feeler (31) resting on the dispenser roll (38) determines the diameter thereof and, by way of levers, unlocks a detent (28) or a protrusion (78) disposed at a swinging plate (27) which carries the bearings (24). Hereby the swinging plate (27) is swung by a spring (48, 79) and thus the supply roll (40) resting on the bearing (24) is pressed against the paper web (39) withdrawn from the dispenser roll (38) and, together with it, against the toothed roller (21). Hereby the last rest of paper from the dispenser roll (28) is pulled off simultaneously with the leading end (41) of the web from the supply roll (40).
Claims7
An apparatus for paying out web sections from a supply roll having a web of material upon exhaustion of a web of material from a dispenser roll, said apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving and paying out web sections from a web of material;
- movable support means including bearing means for receiving said supply roll, said support means being movable between a first position in which said supply roll is spaced from the web of material from the dispenser roll and a second position in which the leading end of the web of material from the supply roll is in contact with said web of material from the dispenser roll;
- detent means on said movable support means;
- means including a spring-biased feeler resting on said dispenser roll as it dispenses web material, for engaging said detent means on said movable support means to retain said supply roll in said first position, said means being actuated in response to a position of said feeler prior to complete exhaustion of the web of material from said dispenser roll to disengage said detent means on said movable support means;
- spring means for moving the bearing means from said first position to said second position upon disengagement of said detent means, thereby placing the leading end of the web of material from said supply roll in contact with the web of material from said dispenser roll;
- and
- means enabling the leading end of the web of material from said supply roll to be carried along with the remainder of the web of material from said dispenser roll to said means for receiving and paying out web sections.
