  • Patent number: 4281807
    Abstract: A web transport apparatus includes a driving member which may be selectively positioned to advance a web from a reel or to rewind the web onto the reel. When positioned in the web advancing position, the driving member advances the web between the driving member and a pressure roller or other suitable pressure member to unwind the web from the reel. When moved to the web rewinding position, the driving member is coupled to and drives the reel to wind the web onto the reel. A flexible coupling provided between the driving member and a unidirectional drive motor permits the driving member to be selectively positioned by selector means to advance, rewind, and neutral positions. Through appropriate controls, the driving member may be deactivated when in the neutral position.
