<p>The strip-shaped elements (C) to be wound, which are constituted, for example, by strips of photographic paper coming from a developer (5), are connected to an entrainment belt or leader (2) by means of grippers each having a head portion which projects sideways from the strip-shaped element (C) and is connected removably to the entrainment belt (2). Substantially wedge-shaped separator means (13) separate the head portion of each gripper from the entrainment belt (2) so that the free end of the strip-shaped element (C) descends, with the gripper still attached thereto, along guide formations (14) for guiding it towards a respective winding reel (15). At least one of the side cheeks of the reel has a radial notch (17) which enables the gripper (9), with the free end of the strip-shaped element (C) connected thereto, to advance freely towards the hub of the reel (15). The subsequent rotation of the reel (15) about its axis winds the strip-shaped element (C) thereon. The gripper (9) can then be removed from the strip-shaped element (C) by being removed axially from the hub of the reel (15). The reel of paper, which may be several hundreds of meters long, is sent to the finishing stations of the process. <IMAGE></p> |
