Abstract
A cam-controlled core inserter for a surface winder is disclosed. The device has a cam housing having a longitudinal axis, a cam disposed within a first surface of the cam housing, a fixed finger plate juxtaposed proximate to the cam housing and the cam, and a first cam follower cooperatively associated with the cam. The fixed finger plate has a fixed finger fixably attached thereto. The first cam follower has a finger shaft disposed through the fixed finger plate and has a movable finger attached thereto. The movable finger has an adjustable orientation relative to the longitudinal axis as the first cam follower orbits about the longitudinal axis. The distal end of the movable finger and the distal end of the fixed finger are capable of forming a space therebetween for contacting engagement and containment of a core suitable for the convolute disposal of a web material thereabout.
