Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for winding a paper web from a rotatable drum onto a driven spool which supports a reel. The apparatus includes a frame which includes a base having a first and a second end. A stand extends from the first end of the base for rotatably supporting the drum so that the paper web is guided by the drum. A further stand extends from the second end of the base. A carriage is slidably supported by the base such that sliding of the carriage between the first and second ends of the base is permitted. A moving device extends between the carriage and the further stand for moving the carriage relative to the drum. A reel in position control device is controllably connected to the moving device for selectively moving the carriage towards and away from the drum. The arrangement is such that when the reel supported by the driven spool is mounted on the carriage and the paper web is guided by the drum onto the reel, the paper web is controllably wound onto the core.
