Abstract: System and method for applying glue to a moving web. The system includes a glue nozzle coupled to glue reservoir. The glue nozzle has an outlet opening arranged to apply glue to the moving web while the moving web moves along a direction. A device delivers a substance to a region of the outlet opening. The device delivers the substance behind the outlet opening relative to the direction. The method includes applying the glue onto the moving web while the moving web moves along a direction and feeding the substance behind the outlet opening relative to the direction. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus and a method for winding strips of material not intended for processing, in particular within an apparatus for joining a web of material running off a first reel to a web of material running to a second reel. Known apparatuses have a winding element with a receptacle for the web of material or strip of material, the strip of material being taken up by rotating the winding element. However, it is problematic that the web of material or strip of material slips out of the receptacle during winding, so that reliable take-up is not ensured. By means of the invention, namely, the arrangement of an element for holding the web of material or strip of material in the region of the receptacle, the web of material or strip of material is reliably caught and held, in particular even after the strip of material is separated from the web of material.

Abstract: A facility for temporary storage of a running web of cigarette paper, tipping paper or the like between a bobbin or another source of web and a web processing or consuming machine employs two polygonal arrays of rollers which can be rotated about their respective axes. Each roller of a first array can be coaxial to and can rotate with a roller of the second array; alternatively, the rollers of the second array can rotate as a unit relative to the rollers of the first array. One or more deflecting rolls are provided to direct the web into and out of the storage facility; alternatively, the deflecting rolls can serve to direct the web from one of the two arrays of rollers to the other array.
