Claims
- 1. In a method of winding a web on a series of cores, said web having longitudinally spaced transversely extending lines of perforations, the steps of advancing said web along a path, pinching said web at a first point in said path while said web is advancing, and using a core to pinch said web against a stationary plate at a second point upstream of said first point and while a line of perforations is positioned between said points.
- 2. The method of claim 1 in which said first point is provided by the coaction of a log of paper being wound on a preceding core and a surface traveling at the speed of said web.
- 3. The method of claim 2 in which said surface is the surface of a cradle roll.
- 4. The method of claim 2 in which a plurality of said lines of perforations are provided for each log being wound.
- 5. The method of claim 2 in which a single line of perforations is provided for each log being wound.
- 6. A surface winder for winding a perforated web on a series of cores comprising a frame, a roll rotatably mounted on said frame in the path of web travel when said web is being wound on a core to provide a log, a stationary plate on said frame adjacent to but spaced from said roll to accommodate a core therebetween and provide a first pinch-point for said web, and means on said frame downstream in the path of web travel from said first pinch point for engaging the surface of said log to provide a second pinch point cooperative with the first pinch point provided by said stationary plate, core and roll to tension the web between said pinch points and cause web severance along a line of perforations between said pinch points.
- 7. The winder of claim 6 in which said engaging means is a position on the surface of said roll angularly related to the roll surface position defining said first pinch point.
- 8. The winder of claim 6 in which said engaging means is a belt partially wrapped on said roll and extending along the path of travel in passing from said roll to said log.
- 9. A surface winder for winding a web on a series of cores comprising a frame defining a web path having an entering end and a discharge end, first winding roll on one side of said path adjacent said path entering end, a second winding roll on the opposite side of said path spaced downstream from said entering end, a rider roll on said one path side downstream of said first winding roll, a stationary plate on said frame on the opposite side of said path and operative with said first winding roll to pinch the web between a core and said stationary plate whereby the rotation of the winding rolls creates a web tension to sever the web.
- 10. A method of winding a web sequentially upon a series of cores wherein the web (W) has equally longitudinally spaced lines of transverse perforations and which is advanced along a path having an upstream web pinching point (B) and a spaced downstream pinching point (A) with the pinching points (B), (A) being arranged to over-tension the web and cause severance thereof along a line of perforations (P) located between said point (B), (A) characterized by defining the point (B) by a new core (C) to be wound and a stationary plate (217, 317, 417), maintaining the web continually under tension between the core (C) and the downstream pinching point (A) and inserting a new core between said stationary plate 217, 317, 417 and a winding roll (211, 311) to cause severance to occur when the web is pinched against stationary plate (217, 317, 417).
