Abstract
Rolls of paper are overturned by a device composed of a first conveyor belt interposed between and occupying the same plane as a feed station and a wrapping station, and running at a velocity comparable to the velocity of the feed station, also a flexibly resilient belt disposed facing the first belt, looped over a pair of wheels of which one is power driven; the resilient belt is positioned with one end adjacent to the feed station, separated from the first belt by a distance equivalent to the diameter of the single roll when disposed with its axis parallel to the first belt, and set in motion at a velocity of which the horizontal component is greater than the velocity of the first belt in such a way that the roll will be taken up, rotated through a right angle and positioned with the axis perpendicular to the first belt.
