Abstract
A mount for rotatably supporting a winding unit which comprises printed products which are wound upon a core and which has a winding band which is connected to the core of the unit and wound with the products. The mount includes a bearing arrangement for rotatably supporting the winding unit and which is elevationally displaceable, and the mount also includes a rest element upon which the winding band rests when the winding unit is lowered. This prevents the winding band from being released and the winding unit from falling apart. The mount can be docked onto an unwinding station, which includes provision for lifting the winding unit off from the rest element so that the printed products can be unwound.
Claims19
A mount for rotatably supporting a winding unit which comprises a winding core, a winding band fastened at one end to said winding core under tensile stress, and printed products wound on said core between said core and said band to form a roll, said mount comprising a transportable framework having a bearing arrangement for rotatably mounting the winding core such that it can be rotated about a horizontal axis, and wherein the bearing arrangement is mounted for movement in an essentially vertical direction, and a rest element positioned beneath the bearing arrangement wherein the winding band rests on said rest element when the winding unit has been lowered onto the rest element to block the winding band.
An apparatus for processing printed products which are wound onto a winding core with a winding band which has one end fastened to the core, and so as to form a winding unit, said apparatus comprising
- a plurality of mounts, with each mount comprising a transportable framework, a bearing arrangement mounted on the framework for movement in an essentially vertical direction and for rotatably mounting the winding core of a winding unit for rotation about a horizontal axis, and a rest element mounted on the framework beneath the bearing arrangement and being positioned to engage the winding band when the winding unit has been lowered onto the rest element to block the winding band, and
- a winding station onto which each one of said mounts may be docked, said winding station comprising a stationary frame and a rocker pivotally mounted to said frame so as to be positioned below the winding unit of a docked mount, and lifting means for pivoting the rocker so as to lift the winding unit of the docked mount off from the rest element of the docked mount so that the printed products can be unwound.
