Abstract: A clamping head is equipped with angular spreading bodies which engage a winding core. Impingement of the winding core end face on a stop moves the spreading bodies longitudinally on a bevel of the clamping head core against spring force, thereby spreading the spreading bodies so as to engage the inside circumference of the winding core. To that end, the clamping head features a sleeve-shaped part which centers the winding core and is provided with longitudinally extending slots for the angular spreading bodies. A shank of each spreading body, extends radially outward, forms at least indirectly the stop for the winding core end face. Longitudinally movable in the slot, the other shank of the spreading body has a projection which protrudes radially inward and interacts with the bevel of the clamping head core so as to cause the shank to move beyond the peripheral surface of the sleeve-shaped part as the projection runs onto the bevel.

Abstract: A clamping head is shown having a cylindrical portion engaging an interior portion of an associated winding tube and a collar or flange which axially abuts against the axial end face of the associated winding tube; extending axially between the cylindrical portion and the collar or flange is a conical portion of longitudinally extending serration; the teeth of such serration start, from the diameter of the cylindrical portion, beginning with a zero cross-section and increase toward the collar or flange with steadily increasing geometrically similar cross-section.

Abstract: A device for controlling an unwinding of a continually fed material web in a printing machine comprises a web storage to which the web is loaded from the unwinding roller and which includes a housing-fixed roller group and a movable roller group. An inlet and an outlet rollers of the housing-fixed roller group are rotation-angle coupled with each other. The web storage serves as a control device for controlling the peripheral speed of the unwinding roller in dependence on the speed of the draw-in device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a web winding method and a winder for carrying out core replacement in a support drum winder. The core replacement is carried out with a sequence of measures, where the cutting of the web, removing of completed rolls (3) and placing of a new roll core between the support drums (1,2) is carried out by one single device comprising cutting, pushing and feeding means. The web (18) is held unmovably towards the trailing support drum (1) during the core replacement by means of a retainer device (16,17). For forwarding the removal of the rolls these are lifted by the same retainer device, if needed, to a height as required by the pusher device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for winding a magnetic tape on a reel. A magnetic field is applied along the width of the wound tape to pull the magnetic tape against a flange. Air is jetted between the tape layers at the point where the tape is wound so that the layers can more freely move relative to each other. Air pressure is reduced at another point around the wound tape so as to deplete the air so entrained between the layers.

Abstract: A recorder or printer device including apparatus for threading a continuous web of printable material from a supply through a main drive nip, including a main drive nip formed by a drive surface of a rotatable roll and a main presser which urges the web against the roll, a loop-introducing guide surface arranged relative to the drive surface of the roll, to form a convergent channel leading to the drive nip, and an initial presser for urging the web against the roll at an initial drive nip spaced from the main drive nip. The initial presser has a second position separate from the drive roll for enabling placement of a leader portion of the web between the initial presser and the roll with the leader extending past the initial nip.

Abstract: A method of charging reel drums (4) of a paper or a board manufacturing machine winder to the front end of a store (12) disposed on top of the winder; and of lowering the reel drums (4) from the store (12). During the charge of the reel drums (4) to the store, the reel drums (4) already in the store (12) are pushed from the front end (13), i.e. loading and discharge end of the store towards the rear end at least by a distance (D) equal to the diameter of the reel drum (4). When a reel drum (15) is lowered, the drums (4) which are in the store displaced at a distance equal to the reel drum diameter from the front end (13) of the store (12), are kept in place.

Abstract: A vertical axis coil stock feed apparatus having a turntable rotatable about an upright axis for rotatably supporting coil stock with the coil axis upright. An arm is mounted on a post alongside the turntable for vertical adjustment relative thereto and a coil cover is rotatably mounted on the arm above the turntable for engagement with the upper end of the coil. A stationary coil shroud is also mounted on the arm with coil retainers extending downwardly at spaced locations around the periphery of the coil cover to limit radial expansion of the coil windings. The arm, together with the coil cover and shroud supported thereby, is power operated between lower and raised positions, and a limit switch is operated when the coil cover engages the upper end of the coil stack to stop downward movement of the arm.

Abstract: A lightweight plastic reel for retaining and dispensing tagline used in the measurement of small wadable streams and rivers is disclosed which comprises an outer plastic casing, a hollow plastic handle connected to the casing capable of receiving a support rod used in stationing the reel on the bank of a river, an inner plastic spool having spool locking means, a central shaft, and a simplified drag assembly comprised primarily of two metal plates which when brought together provide a braking action on the rotation of the spool. The drag assembly of the reel is constructed so as to be virtually maintenance-free, and, unlike prior art reels, will not foul up when it encounters mud, dirt, grit or other conditions normally encountered in stream measurements.

Abstract: A fishing reel equipped with a motor case in which a motor for driving a spool and a level winder driving mechanism are accommodated.

Abstract: A coil winding machine which winds wire about a toroidal core to form a toroidal coil includes clamping means which removably holds the core and a set of rollers which form a path of movement. The bundle of wires is held on the rollers along the path of movement. A slider means pays-off the wire from the wire bundles and guides it in the direction of the core. The slider is progressed by the rollers relative to the wire bundle coil and is threaded through the hole of the core.

Abstract: In a reel support with devices which preferably are in the form of pins able to be moved in and out, and serve to accommodate at least one reel of paper or the like which is wound on a central shell made of cardboard or the like and from which a strip of paper can be unwound, a bursting of the cardboard shell can be reliably prevented and a smooth running achieved by inserting into the cardboard shell a crossbeam which suitably is in the form of a pipe made of carbon filament reinforced plastic.

Abstract: A web of a paper or board manufacturing machine is severed utilizing a severing tape in a fully automatic operation. A main (Pope) cylinder and reel drum are part of a winder for the web, and have a nip therebetween, the cylinder and drum mounted for rotation about parallel axes. A severing tape is attached by adhesive tape to a cardboard card mounted by a pivotal arm on a first side of the winder, with an intermediate portion of the tape held outwardly from the arm by a tape dispenser with spring clip. On the second side of the winder a swing guide is mounted for pivotal movement about an axis perpendicular to the main cylinder, and mounts a spool of tape for rotation about an axis parallel to the main cylinder. The card is inserted in the nip when web severing is desired, tape is taken up on the reel drum, and after the tape is tensioned and severs the web the tape is cut by a pair of cutting blades mounted at the second side of the winder.

Abstract: The device includes a turnover lever mounted on the side surface of a first mounting arm supporting the bail arm. A second shaft extends perpendicularly to a first shaft by which the support for the bail arm is pivoted on the top surface of the first mounting arm. An engaging projection projects from the top surface of the support. The turnover lever is superposed on the top surface of the bail arm support, so that an urging surface is provided at the superposed portion. The urging surface contacts the engaging projection so as to apply a torque to the bail arm support to turn over the bail arm to a fishing line releasing position thereof.
