Abstract
A continuous web rewinding machine is provided with a geneva cam which is adjustably mounted to a hub by means of fasteners which pass through slotted openings in the cam. The hub is in turn mounted to a turret in order to transmit motion of the cam to the turret. Brackets are provided to lock the turret axis of the turret in place with respect to the rewinder in order to eliminate the swinging of the turret as in some prior art rewinders. By selecting the phase angle of the geneva cam to provide for take-up of a winding web onto a new core on a mandrel at a position no more than 4 degrees above a horizontal line extending through a bedroll, and by ensuring that the separation between each of the mandrels in the bedroll is no less than 3/8ths of an inch, efficient rewinding operations are made possible, without allowing the turret axis to swing with respect to the rewinder, and without the need for a deflector bar.
