Patent number: 11891197Abstract: The present invention refers to an apparatus and a method for wrapping a film around an object. The apparatus includes a device capable of being electrostatically charged and capable of transmitting the electrostatic charge to the portion of film that comes out of the carriage. In this way, the fixing of the leading end flap of the film around the object to be wrapped is thus facilitated. In fact, the leading end flap of the film, as soon as it is dispensed, remains stretched out of the carriage and, as soon as it meets the object to be wrapped, it immediately fastens to it due to the attraction force. The rotation is then activated to wrap the film around the object. The apparatus is simple to make, cheap, and highly efficient.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Atlanta Stretch S.P.A.Inventors: Luca Colombo, Gianluca Paci

Patent number: 6719237Abstract: Process and winding machine for winding a continuous material web on a reel spool forming a wound reel. The process includes, upon attaining a desired roll diameter in an old wound reel, closing a new winding nip between a reeling drum and a new reel spool brought into a standby position. In this regard, the reeling drum and the old wound reel are jointly displaced while maintaining the old winding nip formed between the reeling drum and the old wound reel. After the closing of the new winding nip between the reeling drum and the new reel spool, the linear load in the new winding nip is adjusted, controlled or regulated by a corresponding displacement and tightening of the reeling drum.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Voith Paper Patent GmbHInventors: Matthias Wohlfahrt, Roland Thomas

Publication number: 20040041055Abstract: Successive machine reels are reeled from a paper web (W) in such a manner that the machine reel (R) that is becoming full is reeled in contact with the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2) in the final reeling station apart from the device (1) forming the first reeling nip (N). A new, empty reel spool (2), around which the new machine reel will be formed after the change, is taken to the transfer device (6) and the change is conducted when the reel spool is located in the transfer device (6). The reel spool (2) and the machine reel (R) formed around the reel spool after the change is transferred by means of the transfer device (6), while in nip contact with the device (5) forming the second reeling nip (N2), away from the first nip contact (N1) loose from the device(1) forming the first reelling nip (N1) to the stationary final reeling station.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventors: Teppo Kojo, Janne Verajankorva

Patent number: 6616809Abstract: Process and apparatus for producing paper reels from a paper web. The process includes calendering the paper web, longitudinally cutting the paper web into partial webs, and winding the partial webs into paper reels. The calendering, longitudinal cutting, and winding occur on-line and without intermediate winding. The apparatus includes a paper machine, a calender, a longitudinal cutting device, and a reel winding device. The paper machine, the calender, the longitudinal cutting device, and the reel winding device are successively arranged in a web run direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Voith Paper Patent GmbHInventors: Hans-Rolf Conrad, Dirk Cramer

Patent number: 6604703Abstract: A method is provided using a winder to afford precise adjustment, preferably control of the progression of line force between the reel drum and the wound roll despite unevenness in the surface contour of the wound roll, and ensures that no air entrapment occurs between the individual layers in the wound roll. Further, the “wound in” web tension is maintained during the entire winding process.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2001Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Voith Paper Patent GmbHInventors: Rudolf Beisswanger, Zygmunt Madrzak, Matthias Wohlfahrt

Patent number: 6595459Abstract: A system for winding webbed material such as paper toweling or toilet tissue upon a core is disclosed. The system comprises apparatus and processing steps. A plurality of elongated mandrels are adapted to receive cores slipped over their outer surface. Furthermore, a first conveyor having a drive device for moving mandrels in series along a drive train is provided. At least the first end of said mandrel is adapted for engaging the drive means. Further, a mandrel transfer station comprising a receiving mechanism for accepting cored mandrels is capable of winding webbed material upon the cored mandrel in a continuous process. A driving force is applied to at least the first end of said cored mandrel, thereby forming logs of webbed material. In some embodiments of the disclosure, a belt and pulley system is used to convey cored mandrels along an assembly line in a longitudinal manufacturing process.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: John R.
