Abstract
The roll feed assembly includes a frame mounting a pair of vertical guides carrying vertically movable hoist assemblies. Each hoist assembly is motor-driven by a chain fixed at its opposite ends and disposed about a drive sprocket, and an idler sprocket carried by the frame. Each chain is also disposed about an idler sprocket and idler posts carried by the hoist assembly whereby rotary movement of the drive sprocket in opposite directions causes the hoist assembly to be raised or lowered along the vertical guide thereby raising the lowering the roll. A roll web tension and drive assembly is movable toward and away from the roll and carries a web for driving the roll. The roll web tension and drive assembly includes a roll drive movable therewith for engaging and driving the roll.
