The rotating cylinder comprises: an elongated inner core () which is substantially rigid and an interchangeable sleeve () which is fitted onto the core; the sleeve is axially and angularly constrained to said core and is provided on its external surface with a raised pattern. The internal surface of the interchangeable sleeve and the external surface of the inner core are conical surfaces which are mutually complementary; axial and angular locking of the interchangeable sleeve and the inner core is achieved by the friction between the conical surfaces which are forced axially one onto the other.

Method of manufacturing cylinder with interchangeable sleeve

The rotating cylinder for processing a web material comprises an essentially rigid cylindrical core (), on which is fitted an interchangeable sleeve () of elastically expandable material whose rigidity is less than that of the material of the core; the sleeve is axially and angularly fixable to the core and is provided on its outer surface with a relief pattern. For each end of the 3 cylinder, there is provided at least one corresponding mechanical locking member which can be fixed to the corresponding end of the core of the cylinder and which interacts with the corresponding end of the interchangeable sleeve to lock the interchangeable sleeve angularly with respect to the core of the cylinder.

Embossing cylinder with interchangeable sleeve and with system for locking the sleeve at the ends and embossing machine comprising said cylinder

The storage unit comprises at least two flexible members (), equipped with supports () for the products to be stored, extending and moving along respective parallel paths defined by a plurality of driving wheels (). The supports () project laterally in respect of the relative flexible member. In each of the paths, in proximity to at least one driving wheel, a transfer member () is positioned to receive the products from the supports located on a branch (A) of the respective flexible member upstream of said driving wheel and transfer them to the supports located on a branch (B) of said flexible member downstream of said driving wheel in respect of the direction of feed of the flexible members along the respective paths, so that the products follow a trajectory that by-passes said driving wheel.

Storage unit for elongated products

The accumulator () comprises at least two continuous flexible members () equipped with supports () for the products (A). The supports () project laterally with respect to the respective flexible member; each flexible member and at least one first guide wheel (A) being arranged so that the supports face the axis of the wheel in the section of flexible member trained about said guide wheel. The guide wheel is equipped with a plurality of radial arms between which a space is provided for the elongated products resting on said supports. The position of the supports is timed with respect to the position of the radial arms.
