<p>A pair of drawing members, separated by a prescribed distance, are drawn toward each other to be brought into contact with an end packaging material (C2) covering the ends of a web wrapped on a web roll (R). The drawing members (32) are brought toward each other to create a thrust section (CG) by gathering the end packaging and separating the end packaging from the web on the web roll. A cutting member (22,23) is thrust into the thrust section (CG). The web roll (R) is then rotated, whereby the end packaging is cut and removed from an end of a web roll without damaging the web wrapped thereon. Similar drawing members (32) and cutting members (22,23) are preferably located at each end of an end packaging removal device, thereby enabling the end packaging material (C2) to be simultaneously removed from both ends of the web roll. The resulting end packaging removal device saves time and labor involved in removing end packaging from a web roll. <IMAGE></p> |
