Claims
- 1. A vacuum positioning apparatus for moving a flat circular head from a transfer position on a transfer mechanism to a placement position against the end of a paper roll at a crimper station, comprising a frame for receiving the head from said transfer mechanism and having at least a first vacuum cup and at least a second movable vacuum cup spaced from said first cup for adjusting the distance between the first and second cups to accommodate different diameter heads, and said frame being movable toward and away from said paper roll along the longitudinal axis of the roll to place a head against the paper roll.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1, including a brush to press the head against the paper roll as the suction cups are retracted by movement of the frame along the axis of the roll away from the roll.
- 3. A vacuum positioning apparatus for moving a flat circular head from a transfer position to a placement position against the end of a paper roll at a crimper station, comprising a frame having at least one lower vacuum cup and at least one upper vertically movable vacuum cup located above the lower cup for adjusting the distance between the upper and lower cups to accommodate different diameter heads, said frame being movable toward and away from said paper roll, and including a brush to press the head against the paper roll as the suction cups are retracted by movement of the frame along the axis of the roll away from the roll.
