Abstract
A self-threading take-up magazine for a strip material comprises a magazine casing having an interior chamber, a winding core rotatable within the interior chamber to wind the strip material onto the core, and guide means for directing the strip material along the interior chamber towards the winding core to permit the strip material to be threaded to the core. According to the invention, the magazine casing has a web guide portion which is moveably connected to a remaining portion of the magazine casing for opening movement into the interior chamber to extend to the winding core to constitute the guide means and for closing movement out of the interior chamber away from the winding core to make room for the strip material to be wound onto the core.
