Claims
- 1. A method of winding a continuous web on a succession of cores comprising the steps of:
- (a) longitudinally advancing the web looped about a working width of a guide roll to wind it in a winding roll resting on the guide roll;
- (b) interrupting advance of the web and forming at a perforation station a crosswise perforation row in the web across the working width;
- (c) longitudinally advancing a carrier tape with a twoface adhesive thereon in a loop about a pressure roller;
- (d) thereafter urging the pressure roller toward a transfer roller extending across the working width and spaced from the guide roll and downstream of the perforation station to press and adhere the adhesive to the transfer roller;
- (e) pulling the pressure roller away from the transfer roller, detaching thereby the carrier tape from the adhesive on the transfer roller;
- (f) thereafter displacing the pressure roller transversely to the longitudinal advance of the web and repeating the steps (d) and (e) at subsequent delivery locations, thereby forming a plurality of adhesive strips spaced from one another and aligned along said working width on the transfer element;
- (g) then swinging the transfer element toward the web to press the plurality of strips against the web for straddling both sides of the perforation row on the web upon resuming an advance of the web, thereby adhering the plurality of strips on the web along the working width;
- (h) thereafter withdrawing the transfer roller from the web while longitudinally advancing the web with the plurality of strips adhered thereto toward the first winding roll;
- (i) thereafter tearing the web longitudinally apart at the perforation row, forming thereby trailing and leading web ends;
- (j) thereafter attaching the trailing web end to the winding roll and the leading end to a core to be wound; and
- (k) repeating steps (b) through (j).
- 2. The method defined in claim 1 wherein the step (i) includes a step of increasing the web traction by turning the winding roll against a braking force.
- 3. The method defined in claim 1 wherein the transfer roller is rotated back upon applying each of the plurality of strips to provide alignment thereof.
- 4. A method of winding a continuous web on a succession of cores comprising the steps of:
- (a) longitudinally advancing the web looped about a working width of a guide roll along a web path to wind it in a winding roll resting on the guide roll;
- (b) interrupting advance of the web and forming at a perforation station located upstream of the winding roll a crosswise perforation row in the web across the working width;
- (c) activating dispatching means for applying a twoface adhesive strip on a transfer roll spaced from the web and located along the web path downstream of the perforation station;
- (d) thereafter displacing the dispatching means transversely to the longitudinal advance of the web and repeating the step (c) at subsequent delivery locations, thereby forming a plurality of adhesive strips spaced from one another;
- (e) while displacing the dispatching means toward a subsequent delivery location rotating the transfer roll to apply a respective subsequent adhesive strip at the respective location in alignment with the previous one across the working width;
- (f) then swinging the transfer element toward the web to press the plurality of spaced apart and aligned strips against the web for straddling both sides of the perforation row on the web upon resuming an advance of the web, thereby adhering the row of strips on the web along the working width;
- (g) thereafter withdrawing the transfer roller from the web while longitudinally advancing the web with the plurality of strips adhered thereto toward the first winding roll;
- (h) thereafter tearing the web longitudinally apart at the perforation row, forming thereby trailing and leading web ends;
- (i) thereafter attaching the trailing web end to the winding roll and the leading end to a core to be wound; and
- (j) repeating steps (b) through (i).
- 5. An apparatus for winding a continuous web on a succession of cores comprising:
- drive means including a guide roll for longitudinally advancing a web extending across a working width of the guide roll to wind the web in a winding roll resting on the guide roll;
- cutting means upstream of the winding roll for forming a crosswise perforation row across the working width;
- a transfer roll along the path between the cutting means and the winding roll and juxtaposed with the guide roll across the working width, the transfer roll being spaced from the web in a receiving position and being swingable toward the web in a transferring position;
- a pressure roll longitudinally guiding a carrier tape with a two-face adhesive strip thereon toward the transfer roll;
- displacing means for sequential displacement of the pressure roll transversely across the working width between a plurality of delivery locations spaced apart across the working width;
- actuator means for displacing the pressure roll toward the transfer roll to urge the carrier against the transfer roll in the receiving position thereof at each of the locations, and away from the transfer roll to detach the carrier from the adhesive, forming thereby a plurality of spaced apart and aligned adhesives strips on the transfer roll across the working width;
- swinging means for swinging the transfer roll in said transferring position to press the plurality of adhesive strips against the web, each of the of adhesive strips straddling both sides of the perforation row upon running off the transfer roll;
- means for tearing the web longitudinally apart at the perforation row to form leading and trailing web ends each provided with respective adhesive strips; and
- means for pressing the trailing web end on the winding roll and the leading end against a fresh core by engaging the respective adhesive strips thereagainst.
- 6. The apparatus defined in claim 5 further comprising:
- means for replacing the winding roll with the fresh core; and
- means for rotating the transfer roll.
