Apparatus for controlling the speed of logs on output from a rewinding machine

摘要

An apparatus for controlling the speed of logs ( 3 ) on discharge or output from a rewinding machine. The apparatus include; structure for slowing down the logs ( 3 ) rolling along a log discharge or output plane ( 5 ). This structure includes a roller ( 6 ) located above the log output put plane ( 5 ) and having axis (a) parallel to the axis of the logs ( 3 ). The same roller is driven into rotation about its axis with a preset angular speed so as to intercept each of the logs ( 3 ) and slow down the motion thereof along the plane ( 5 ). The surface of the roller ( 6 ) is pliable and elastic.
