DEVICE FOR UNWINDING PRINTED PRODUCTS WOUND IN A SHINGLED FORMATION

摘要

The printed products leaving the product coil or wound package are delivered to an inlet of a conveying channel adjacent to a product transfer or release location of the wound package. A conveying channel is formed by two effectively conveying runs of two belt conveyors. In a section of this conveying channel following this inlet the unwound imbricated formation is inverted. The imbricated formation is subsequently conveyed toward an outlet of the conveying channel where it is transferred to a discharge conveyor. Both belt conveyors are arranged in a pivotable frame construction which is held in contact or coacting relationship with the product coil or wound package by a contact or pressing mechanism. The design of the conveyor arrangement formed by the two belt conveyors permits a compact construction and a free choice of the route of the conveying channel.
