Abstract
A method and apparatus for threading web materials for use in a web-fed rotary printing press is disclosed. A plurality of finite length, flexible conveyors are secured to the press frame, extend between first and second storage devices, and are guided by suitable guides. Drive motors for transporting the conveyors are positioned at either end of the path of web threading and additional drive motors are positioned intermediate the end motors. The web to be transported is secured to the conveyor and suitable ones of the drive motors are actuated to withdraw the conveyor from the first storage device and into the second storage device whereby the web attached thereto is threaded through the assembly. The path of web threading may be varied by connecting various of the conveyors which extend along differing paths through the press.
