  • End effector for a transport device for the movement of parent rolls of convolutely wound web materials
    Patent number: 9896316
    Abstract: An end effector for a transport device for the movement of parent rolls of convolutely wound web materials is disclosed. The end effector comprises a frame, first and second radial members operably connected to the frame, a first core plug operably connected to the first longitudinal member, and a second core plug operably connected to the second longitudinal member. A first core plug extensible from a first position to a second position relative to the first longitudinal member and a second core plug extensible from a first position to a second position relative to the second longitudinal member are capable of cooperative and penetrating engagement with a core of the parent roll.
