A winding apparatus for transferring a web from a carrier drum to a spool. Pressure between the spool and the carrier drum is higher in the area of the feed strip of the web by applying a higher contact force, or by orienting the spool and drum at an angle to one another.

Method for transferring a feed strip of a material web onto a winding device

A winding machine for a material web, particularly of paper or cardboard, the web being rolled onto a reel core for forming at least one round reel. At least two supporting devices support the wound reel. The first supporting device is formed by a first supporting roller. The second supporting device comprises at least a second supporting roller and comprises at least one lowering device that lowers to let the wound reel move off the first roller. The lowering device can be pivoted about an axis that runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first roller. The second supporting device is moveable to a first position where it supports the winding on process or a second position where it provides support over a circumferential area of the reel during the remainder of the winding. The second supporting device is moveable, e.g., by a piston-cylinder unit, to provide support as the wound reel increases in diameter. The second support device is preferably integrated in or is part of the lowering device and moves with the lowering device to move out of the way of the reel moving out.

Winding machine

The winding machine of the invention includes two parallel wound web roll support rollers which are spaced apart and on which the roll being wound is supported. The gap between the support rollers and below the supported wound roll is to be pressurized. A pressure chamber is defined by the support rollers, the wound roll above, and from below by a cross member which bridges over the distance between the support rollers and closes the bottom of the gap. End walls close the ends of the chamber. The cross member is movable between a sealing position where it is in contact with, or at least is sealed with, the two support rollers and bridges the gap between them to an open position where it opens the gap between the support rollers. The cross member is movable either down out of the gap, laterally out of the gap, or a combination of both, by reciprocating swinging, or oblique movement, and the like. The cross member has at least one passage which connects the pressure chamber with a source of compressed air through an intermediate conduit. An elongate transverse distributing pipe arranged at a distance from the cross member has a pressure connection through the conduit leading to the cross member.
