Abstract: Method for holding in its place a separate piece placed against a side surface of a basic piece, wherein an air jet is directed to the separate piece and under this influence the separate piece is pressed against the end. Means for producing the air jets are placed for example in a stationary position or the basic piece is conveyed by a transfer carriage to which the means for producing the air jets are placed and arranged to hold at least one separate piece in its place. Alternatively, the basic piece is transferred by means of a conveyor or a transfer carriage and the means for producing the air jets are placed along this route in a stationary position and are arranged to hold in its place at least one separate piece that moves along the basic piece.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for rotating rotational bodies (1), such as rolls, along their longitudinal axis (X) by means of motion of a trough-like surface (2) guiding and supporting said body (1). In the invention, the axis of rotation of the body (1) moving on said surface is guided by means of the profile (2a, 7a, 7b) of the surface (2) to a new position to eliminate the swinging of the body (1). In an embodiment, said profile (2a, 7a, 7b) comprises a straight section (2a) and a section (7a, 7b) which is arranged at least on the other side of the same, and which comprises a surface that rises outwards. The diagonal surface can be arranged as a separately attachable part. By means of the invention, the swinging of the conical roll (1) is prevented during rotation.

Abstract: The problem involved in wrapping a stretched plastic film around a load by rotating the load and the plastic film feed roll is often that the film will not adapt well enough to the shape of the load, will not form an elastically tensioned package, and will not necessarily be by its stretch ratio and thickness sufficiently uniform and suitable for the product in question. In the present invention, a method has been developed for wrapping a stretched plastic film around the circumference of a load by rotating the load and the plastic film feed roll each about its axis in order to unwind the stretchable plastic film from the feed roll and to wrap the stretched plastic film around the circumference of the load and by braking the plastic film in order to stretch it between the braking point and the wrapping point. The advantages of the invention are based on the fact the braking power which induces the stretching of the plastic film is regulated on the basis of the circumferential speed of the load.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer car for heavy loads, a car which has a chassis frame (1) moving on wheels (2) and having a raisable flatbed (3) on top of it, in which an axle (4'), mounted with bearings to the chassis frame and locked to one of the two wheel pairs, is coupled by power transmission means (5") to a transfer motor (6'), for transferring the car, and which additionally has a lever mechanism (7), connected to the flatbed (3), turning on transverse axles primarily in the forward and back ends and coupled to a raising motor (6') by a power transmission (5'), for raising and lowering the flatbed (3). In prior-art transfer cars it has not been possible to exploit the car-transfer mechanism in any way in the load-raising mechanism. Thus the transfer cars for loads such as paper rolls have so far been of a complicated structure and expensive.
