Reel winding apparatus comprises two spaced side-by-side support drums (12, 13) and a pivotal carriage (14) which act to support a roll (11) whilst material (16) is being wound thereonto. A transfer device acts to support a prepared roll core (21) and to deliver the core (21) to the support drums (12, 13) when the roll (11) has reached its requisite size. Pressure loading roller (19) maintains the roll (11) and the roll core (21) respectively in contact with at least one of the support drums (12, 13). In use, material is wound onto roll (11) until the roll (11) has reached its requisite size. The carriage (14) is then pivoted to move the reel (11) out of contact with the upstream drum (12) and the prepared reel core (21) is moved into a ready position above the upstream drum (12). A splicing blade (22) cuts the material (16) being fed to the roll (11) and then the leading edge of the cut web (16) wraps about the prepared core (21) and engages double sided adhesive tape thereon. The carriage (14) pivots further and the full roll (11) is released for unloading. Roll core (21) is moved into engagement with the support drums (12, 13) and a new reel core is readied for introduction. The carriage (14) is returned to its vertical position.
A reel winding apparatus for winding a web material onto prepared roll cores comprising spaced side-by-side support drums supporting a first prepared roll core as the material web is wound thereon, a support gantry engageable with said first prepared roll core at least when it is supported on and between said drums and being pivotal to unload said first prepared roll core from said support drums once a predetermined amount of web material has been wound thereon, transfer means for delivering a second prepared roll core to the support drums, pressure loading means engageable with at least the second prepared roll core and adapted to urge said second prepared roll core against said web material and into engagement with at least a first of said drums, splice cutting means positioned between the drums and adapted for cooperative operation with said pressure loading means upon said delivery of said second prepared roll core whereby said pressure loading means depresses said web material into said splice cutting means to simultaneously sever said web material while permitting the splicing of a remaining free end of said web material onto said second prepared roll core.
A reel winding apparatus for winding a web material onto adhesively-prepared roll cores comprising spaced side-by-side support drums supporting a first adhesively prepared roll core as the material web is wound thereon;
