Abstract: A store control device of an intermediate store carries, on a pivot mounting which is mounted on a chassis capable of travelling along a track, so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis through 360°, a pick-up device for a paper reel which has a continuous track section for holding a carriage loaded with a paper reel and raisable and lowerable claws arranged on both sides thereof. Storage tracks which are in the form of short stub tracks and have carriages and which form storage places for holding paper reels with axes oriented transversely to the track are arranged on both sides of the track. Before storage of a paper reel in the intermediate store, the pivot mounting is rotated so that the winding direction of the stored paper reel corresponds to a required value. The claws can also be formed so as to be longitudinally displaceable on both sides by at least a reel length, in which case only a support surface is provided between them and the storage places are equipped with stationary storage troughs.

Abstract: A store control device (6) of an intermediate store carries, on a pivot mounting (19) which is mounted on a chassis (18) capable of travelling along a track (5), so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis through 360°, a pick-up device for a paper reel (4) which has a continuous track section (22) for holding a carriage (8) loaded with a paper reel (4) and raisable and lowerable claws (23b) arranged on both sides thereof. Storage tracks (12) which are in the form of short stub tracks and have carriages and which form storage places (3) for holding paper reels (4) with axes oriented transversely to the track (5) are arranged on both sides of the track (5). Before storage of a paper reel (4) in the intermediate store, the pivot mounting (19) is rotated so that the winding direction of the stored paper reel (4) corresponds to a required value.

Abstract: A pit (14) along which a moving platform (15) with a transverse continuous track section (16) is displaceable is arranged at a reel stand (12). Feed tracks (10, 11) and also a plurality of storage tracks (17) in the form of stub tracks and intended for receiving carriages (6) each having a prepared paper reel (5) abut the lateral edge of the pit (14). Further storage tracks (17) are arranged on the opposite side of the pit (14), in each case aligned with one of said storage tracks (17) or a feed track (10, 11). During printing, the carriages (6) parked on the storage tracks (17) are fed as required via the moving platform (15) to the reel stand (12) and the paper reels (5) are mounted in the axis.
