Abstract: The rewinding machine includes a weakening device for weakening the web material along a substantially transverse weakening line, along which the web material is severed at the end of the winding of a log. The weakening device is controlled so as to generate the weakening line in a manner synchronized with the completion of winding of the log.

Abstract: A rewinding machine is described including: a path for feeding the web material towards a winding system; interruption members to interrupt the web material at the end of winding of a log; a core insertion channel, defined by a rolling surface and a movable member; a core feeder to insert winding cores in succession in the channel; an electrostatic device positioned along the channel to electrostatically charge the winding cores and/or the web material thus causing, due to the electrostatic charges, reciprocal adhesion of the core and initial free edge of the web material obtained by interruption of the material at the end of winding of each log.

Abstract: The rewinding machine includes: a winding unit; a feed path of the web material; an insertion path of the winding cores; a separator device to sever the web material upon completion of winding each log. The separator device is disposed and produced to be activated by passage of a winding core.

Abstract: A fluid level sensor for generating a warning upon, e.g., low fuel conditions in a vehicle gas tank. A vacuum conduit is disposed in the tank. The vacuum conduit has first and second vacuum openings and an actuation opening into which the fuel pump can pump fluid through a Venturi conduit to induce a vacuum. A first conduit extends from the first vacuum opening to a vacuum sensor outside the tank and a second conduit extends from the second vacuum opening. The second conduit extends down into the tank and terminates in an open end. When fluid in the tank drops below the opening the vacuum sensor senses a change in vacuum in the tank, triggering a low level alarm.

Abstract: The unwinder device comprises: unwinding members for simultaneously unwinding a first reel (B1) and a second reel (B2), a splicing device (151) for splicing together a first web-like material (N1) coming from said first reel (B1) and a second web-like material (N2) coming from said second reel (B2), an accumulator member (24, 200) for accumulating web-like material (N2) supplied from said second reel (B2) before splicing to the web-like material (N1) supplied from said first reel (B1).

Abstract: The device comprises: supports (3A, 5A; 3B, 5B) to support at least a reel (B1) in an unwinding position; at least a peripheral drive mechanism which acts on the cylindrical surface of the reel being unwound and transmits peripherally to said reel a torque to draw it in rotation; and at least a center drive mechanism (41) which transmits centrally to said reel an auxiliary torque to draw it in rotation together with the torque transmitted by the peripheral drive mechanism.

Abstract: The unwinding device to unwind reels of web material comprises: unwinding members (505; 525) to simultaneously unwind a first reel (B1) and a second reel (B2); a splicing device (563) to join together a first web material (N1) coming from the first reel (B1) and a second web material (N2) coming from the second reel (B2); at least one accumulation member (540, 541) to accumulate the web material delivered from the second reel before splicing with the web material delivered from the first reel; a first path (585) and a second path (589) for the web material delivered simultaneously from the first and from the second reel towards a machine downstream.

Abstract: A method for producing logs (L1, L2) of web material (N) wound around tubular cores wherein the tubular core (A1-A4) is equipped with glue to secure the initial end of the web material and allow winding. Part of the glue applied to the tubular core is transferred to the web material (N) before it is severed upon termination of winding the log, to seal the final free end of the formed log.

Abstract: The unwinder device includes an unwinding station (7), with unwinding members for unwinding reels and a splicing device (151) for splicing together web-like materials (N1 and N2) coming from a first reel (B1) and from a second reel (B2). At least two supports (49, 51) are arranged in the unwinding station for the respective reels of web-like material, associated with respective unwinding members (83, 99). The supports are constructed and arranged to simultaneously support two reels being unwound, during at least a phase of the unwinding, and each of said supports is able and constructed to load a new reel in an engagement position, support it during the unwinding and unload it in a release position.

Abstract: A description is given of a device for controlling the discharging of rolls (R) from a rewinder, comprising a rolling surface (11) on which the rolls roll as they leave said rewinder and a member (17) able to rotate about an axis parallel to said rolling surface and perpendicular to the direction of discharge of the rolls. During operation, the rotatable member always rotates in the same direction about its own axis. It is provided with at least two roll retaining surfaces defining, with the rolling surface, a roll containing zone.
