Abstract
A bobbin holder (1), particularly for a cigarette making machine, is provided with a device for rewinding the expiring end of a reel (2) back on to the reel core (6) following a splice. This provides a convenient way of removing the expired end (with the core) and avoids possible entanglement of a loose expired end in parts of the machine. The device may comprise a pin (22) carried by a rotatable support (12) for the reel (2) and axially slidable by engagement with a cam (24) into a position to intercept the expiring end following a splice, so that continued rotation of the support causes the end to be wrapped around the reel core.
