Abstract: A device for cutting an elongate paper roll into a plurality of small rolls comprising at least one cutting disc adapted to rotate about a rotary axis during operation whereby the device is provided with a plurality of cutting discs rotatable about rotary axes being in fixed positions during operation and with means for displacing the elongate paper roll with respect to the cutting discs in a direction at least substantially normal to the rotary axes of the cutting discs, while, viewed in the direction of displacement of the elongate paper roll, the cutting discs are relatively off-set in a manner such that an outermost portion of the paper roll is cut off at least for the major part before the cutting disc cutting off the adjacent portion of the paper roll engages the elongate paper roll.
