    Patent number: 6582547
    Abstract: Method of preparing for a splice, characterized in that a reel (1) is rotatably mounted in a reel holder (2) and a pressure roll (3) is pressed against the reel (1), underneath or at the side of the reel holder (2) and parallel to the axis (4) of the reel (1), by means of a pressure system (5), and separates the upper layers of the reel (1) with a transverse cut (A), whereupon the cut ends (6-10) of the web slip off the circumference of the reel (1) to the left and right as a result of gravity or as a result of slight assistance, so that they now hang down to the right and left of the pressure roll (3).
