Claims
- 1. A method of wrapping a cylindrical roll of coiled material, the cylindrical roll having a length, a circumference, and an inside diameter defining an opening with an inner periphery, said method comprising:
- selecting a preformed tubular bag having a circumference larger than the circumference of the cylindrical roll, an opening at each end thereof and drawstrings adjacent each end;
- lifting the cylindrical roll;
- placing the cylindrical roll inside of the bag, such that there is excess circumferential bag material;
- folding the excess bag material onto the cylindrical roll;
- pulling each of the drawstrings towards the center of the cylindrical roll, such that the bag radially comes together at each end to cover the cylindrical roll and to form a circular aperture of smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the cylindrical roll; and
- placing an inside diameter protector at each end of the cylindrical roll and forcing the portion of the bag at each end against the inner periphery of the cylindrical roll.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of lifting the cylindrical roll is accomplished by inserting a tube into the opening defined by the inside diameter of the cylindrical roll and lifting the cylindrical roll with a forklift.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of selecting a bag includes selecting a bag treated with a corrosion inhibitor.
- 4. A method of wrapping a cylindrical roll of coiled material having a circumference and an inside diameter defining an opening with an inner periphery, said method comprising:
- selecting a preformed tubular bag having a circumference larger than the circumference of the cylindrical roll and an opening at each end thereof;
- lifting the cylindrical roll;
- placing the cylindrical roll inside of the bag, such that there is excess circumferential bag material;
- folding the excess bag material onto the cylindrical roll;
- urging the bag towards the center of each end of the cylindrical roll, such that the bag radially comes together to cover each end of the cylindrical roll and to form a circular aperture of smaller diameter than the inside diameter of the cylindrical roll; and
- placing an inside diameter protector at each end of the cylindrical roll and forcing the portion of the bag at each end against the inner periphery of the cylindrical roll.
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the step of lifting the cylindrical roll is accomplished by inserting a tube into the opening defined by the inside diameter of the cylindrical roll and lifting the cylindrical roll with a forklift.
- 6. The method of claim 4 wherein said step of selecting a bag includes selecting a bag treated with a corrosion inhibitor.
