APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING TUBULAR CORES

摘要

A cutting station configured for use in an apparatus for connecting and/or cutting roll-supporting tubular cores. The apparatus (1) comprises a loading station (80), having a rolling cradle having horizontal rollers (10 and 11), a pusher (5) that acts against a rear end of the core (1), once it has been loaded on the rolling cradle (10, 11), in order to bring forward a front end of a loaded core. A conveying station (50) of the core and a cutting station (30) are present downstream. A means is provided for peripherally dragging the core for causing the core to rotate during a cutting step. The peripherally dragging means of the core in the cutting station is reversed during the cut after that the core has rotated of a predetermined angle. The apparatus can have a connecting stations comprising a taping means and the peripheral dragging means (30) can be equipped with a device for transmitting a number of rotations suitable for causing said core and said core portion to rotate for a predetermined number of turns.
