FASTENING METHOD AND FASTENING APPARATUS FOR PAPER ROLLS

摘要

This invention relates to a fastening method and a fastening apparatus, which can be used for fastening paper rolls (100) with load cables (80) to the base (260) of a means of transport or to a transport pallet. The basic idea of the invention is that a core plug (10) is fastened to the end of the paper roll and the paper rolls are bound with load cables from the core plug to the base of the means of transport or to other paper rolls. The paper rolls can be fastened to the base in horizontal or vertical position in at least two layers. The core plug included in the fastening apparatus of the invention comprises a gripping part, by means of which the core plug is firmly retained within the inner core of the paper roll during the transport step. The invention also comprises locking combs (230) and locking means (210), by means of which vertically positioned paper rolls can be fastened by their lower end to locking rails (220) provided in the base of the means of transport. The invention allows substantially more rapid and reliable fastening of paper rolls than conventional fastening methods.
