Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Zwischenlagern von flachen Gegenständen, insbesondere von in Stapeln abgelegten Schlauchabschnitten

摘要

Stacks 12 of tubular bag blanks are fed by conveyor 14 onto a slower moving winding band 26 drawn from roll 28, band and stacks then being wound on reel 18. The core of the reel may have a step extending parallel to the reel axis and as high as a stack; the leading stack abuts this step, thus reducing the tendency for stacks to become disturbed on winding. Tension in band 26 and the height of reel 18 are both governed automatically.
