Abstract: Films to be fed to a photographic printing apparatus are continuously fed one after another without being spliced together. A continuous film feed device has a case, a film core rotatably mounted in the case, and film presser arms each having a presser roll for pressing the films toward the center of the film core. The films are wound around the film core with their ends overlapped by putting a leading end of each film under a trailing end of the preceding film.

Abstract: In a winder for winding webs from a bag-making machine into rolls, a winding turret mounts four winding spindles, each having a web-winding portion and a pulley-mounting portion, which mounts a conjointly rotatable pulley and an independently rotatable pulley. A first timing belt and a second timing belt are arranged to be independently driven. The winding turret is indexable so that, in any indexed position, a first timing belt interengages the conjointly rotatable pulley mounted on the given winding spindle and interengages the independently rotatable pulley mounted on the next winding spindle and a second timing belt interengages the independently rotatable pulley mounted on the given winding spindle and interengages the conjointly rotatable pulley mounted on the next winding spindle. The rotational speeds of a motor driving a given winding spindle, whichever is being used to complete winding of a roll, and the rotational speed of a motor driving a web conveyor are measured.

Abstract: A film winder takes up developed films continuously into a film magazine. The developed films attached to a leader are guided by a leader feed adjusting unit. After being cut from the leader by a film cutter, the films are fed to a film guide by a press roller of a separator. The films are turned by a turn guide and a turn roller and are fed to a take-up member. The films are wound in the film magazine one by one.

Abstract: A method and device for unwinding from a roll (1) the scaled formation of printed products wound onto a winding core (11) with a winding tape (12). The braking of the rotation of the roll (1) necessary for maintaining the tension on the winding tape during unwinding, is produced by pressing one face of the roll (1) against an inclined supporting surface (1) by means of a component (N) of the roll weight, causing friction between the face of the roll and the supporting surface (10) which friction brakes the rotation of the roll.

Abstract: A process for storing sheet-like products occurring continuously, in particular in an imbricated formation, in particular printed products such as newspapers, periodicals and the like, in the case of which process the sheet-like products are wound up on, and/or unwound from, a main roll, a first number of the products being wound up on, and/or unwound from, a first main roll (4) and a second number of the products being wound up on, and/or unwound from, a second main roll which is assigned to the first main roll.

Abstract: A mount for rotatably supporting a winding unit which comprises printed products which are wound upon a core and which has a winding band which is connected to the core of the unit and wound with the products. The mount includes a bearing arrangement for rotatably supporting the winding unit and which is elevationally displaceable, and the mount also includes a rest element upon which the winding band rests when the winding unit is lowered. This prevents the winding band from being released and the winding unit from falling apart. The mount can be docked onto an unwinding station, which includes provision for lifting the winding unit off from the rest element so that the printed products can be unwound.

Abstract: An apparatus for reeling up and unreeling of flat printed products onto and from, respectively, a reel core. The reel core has a horizontal reel axis and is fixedly arranged in a reel stand to form one piece so that the reel stand and reel core can be driven together about the horizontal reel axis. A reeling strap mandrel is detachably seated in the reel stand and has a horizontal axis that is parallel with the rotational axis of the reel core. A reeling strap is wound on the reeling strap mandrel and has one end connected to the reel core and a second end connected to the reel mandrel. The reeling strap rolls off the reeling strap mandrel and is fed to the reel core in an undershot manner for forming reeled layers of printed product on the reel core.

Abstract: A continuous film take-up apparatus for taking up a plurality of films includes a guide/feeder unit and a drive unit. The guide/feeder unit includes a tilt guide for guiding the film. A film take-up amount detection unit detects the amount of film taken up by detecting the inclination of the tilt guide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a delivery package (30) of maxi bags (10) and a method for packing maxi bags into a delivery package (30). A delivery package (30) consists of maxi bags (10) placed overlappingly one top of the other, said bags being rolled around a rolling core (20) into a roll package. The edge portions of the maxi bags (10) have been folded prior to being conducted to a rolling core (20) so that in longitudinal direction the maxi bags (10) are essentially of equal thickness, whereby in each maxi bag layer of a delivery package (30) the undesired thickness of the thick handle part of the lifting loop structure (13) of the maxi bags (10) has been made uniform in order to produce a stable delivery package (30).

Abstract: A roll of shingled, distinct linerless labels is produced by forming a plurality of the distinct labels (each having a substrate, a release coated first face, and a pressure sensitive adhesive coated second face) by transporting a web at a first speed, automatically severing distinct labels from the web, and after severing accelerating the labels to a second, faster, speed so that the labels are conveyed separated and distinct from each other in a first direction. Using a standard rewind the linerless labels are taken up on a formed roll of shingled linerless labels by rotating the roll with an initial tangential velocity component in the first direction at a third speed, slower than the first speed, so that the distinct labels overlap with the second face of each newly added label engaging the first face of at least one label already on the formed roll. The roll shaft is mounted on at least one articulating arm.

Abstract: A continuous film take-up apparatus comprises a guide feeder for guiding and feeding a succession of films into a film supplier and a drive train for rotating a take-up reel of the film supplier. The guide feeder has a guide region composed of an infeed guide and a tilt guide, and also has feed rollers for feeding the film towards the film supplier. Both the tilt guide and the feed rollers are actuated by the power of a drive unit.

Abstract: A belt conveyor arrangement (16) is disposed upstream of the winding mandrel (12) of the rolling-up apparatus (10) and determines the conveying path (18) for the printed products (20) which are to be rolled up. A delivery device (30) leads from below into the conveying path (18) and delivers into the conveying path (18) a wrapping (28) which is to be rolled up together with a printed product (20) in each case. The wrapping (28) has in each case an edge portion projecting over the roller (114) and by means of the blast nozzle arrangement (130) is held across the conveying path (18). This edge portion is laid around the leading end region of the printed product (20) fed and is introduced together with the latter into the mandrel gap (14).

Abstract: According to the invention, printed products in an imbricated or scale formation (1) are wound into a printed product roll on a roll core (2) with the aid of a winding band (3). A protective element (4) is wound onto the product roll with the aid of the same winding band (3) and as a result the printed product outermost layer (1.1) on the roll is at least partly protected against damage during the handling, transportation and storage of the roll. The protective element (4) is advantageously part of the core set, i.e. the protective element (4) is wound together with the winding band (3) onto the empty core (2), it is unwound prior to the winding up of the printed products and is wound onto the core again after unwinding the printed products. For the systematic positioning of the protective element during the winding or unwinding of the printed products, the winding station has a retrieving apparatus enabling the winding up of the protective element (4).

Abstract: Printed products, which are obtained as a scale formation from a processing stage (10), are intermediately stored and rearranged in such a way that they can again be supplied for further processing to a processing stage (20) as a scale formation, which can have a different number of scale flows, different speeds and a different sequence of different printed products. The method takes place in three method zones. In the first method zone (1), which is connected to the processing stages (10 and 20), the scale flows (S) are wound onto roll cores (WK) or rolls (W) are unwound into scale flows (S). In the second method zone (2), the rolls (W) and cores (WK) are transported between the storage station and the winding station and storage units (horizontal roll pairs (WP) and core flanges (R)) are formed and dismantled. In the third method zone (3) the storage units (WP, R) are introduced to and removed from a store.
