More Information
Summary:An apparatus for starting the lead end of a traveling web on a core wherein an endless belt is carried on four rollers with two lower rollers carried on swinging arms which are pivotally spread to maintain a uniform tension in the belt and the rollers are supported on a carrier beam which is brought down to cause the belt to wrap the major portion of a core being wound. A cut lead end of a web is fed into the nip between the belt and the core, either by an air jet, a lifting finger or by the belt being brought in close proximity with the supporting drum so that the lead end of the web feeds into the nip between the belt and the core and is wrapped around the core for the full span that the belt wraps the core. The belt is maintained in contact with the roll, wrapping it as the roll builds up.
