Abstract: An winding apparatus, particularly for winding a film condensor element material. The apparatus includes a plate jig having a winding axis, with the plate jig rotating as a pressing roller presses the film onto the plate jig. The pressing roller is mounted for rotation about a rotating axis with a spring disposed between the pressing roller and rotating axis, and with the pressing roller rotating in the same direction as the direction of rotation of the plate jig. As the plate jig rotates, the pressing roller travels along the plate jig to press the film condensor element thereon.

Abstract: A stripping apparatus for stripping metal film from a metallized plastic film is provided. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a rod is utilized for providing an anode or cathode charge, with the rod movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the metallized plastic film. As a result, any remnants which may accumulate on the rod from a previous stripping operation do not adversely affect subsequent stripping operations. Further, a pressing roller is provided which is downstream of both of an anode/cathode roller and the cathode/anode rod. In another embodiment, a plurality of anode-cathode pairs are provided which are rotatably mounted. When one of the anode-cathode pairs is performing a stripping operation, another of the anode-cathode pairs can be cleaned by a brush or grinding device, such that a newly cleaned anode-cathode pair can be presented for each stripping operation.
