<p>An apparatus for passively rolling a strip of paper (12) is disclosed. The apparatus is generally used with a strip chart recorder. As the strip of paper (12) discharges from the recorder housing (16), it is fed into a guide (16) which guides the paper (12) into a cylindrically shaped paper container (40). The guide (46) stiffens the paper (12) by imparting a slight bow across the paper (12). The paper (12) has a predetermined direction of curvature, imparted to the paper (12) by being stored in a roll (34). The stiffening of the paper (12) by the guide (46) allows the strip of paper (12) to be pushed into the cavity (44) and ensures that the paper (12) will curl in the predetermined direction of curvature as it enters the cylindrical cavity (44).</p> |
