Abstract
A storage arrangement for empty cores for a reel-up in which paper is wound to form reels of paper, said storage arrangement having a stand comprising a feed-out ramp and a container with a top, a bottom and four vertical sides consisting of a front side facing the feed-out ramp, a rear side and two sides, said four sides between them defining a space for empty cores, which container also comprises an upper inlet opening and a lower outlet opening in conjunction with the upstream end of the feed-out ramp. According to the invention a plurality of downwardly inclined planes are arranged one beneath the other inside the container, directed alternately from the front side and the rear side, each plane having a downstream end located a predetermined distance from the adjacent rear side or front side to provide an opening therebetween so that each empty core rolling down an upstream plane continues freely to the next plane in a continuous path from the inlet opening to the outlet opening. The stand also includes a stand table, at which the container is exchangeably arranged in conjunction with the feed-out ramp to enable transport of the container to a filling station.
