An apparatus (10) for loading a roll of web (1) from a stack (3) along a first axis (7) into a chamber (2) along the second axis (8) has a pivotable support member (12) and an engaging means (16) having a head member (18) attached to the support member (12) for engaging a roll along the first axis (7) and guiding the roll (1) into the chamber (4) along the second (8). The support member (12) pivots between a first position in alignment with the stack (3) along the first axis (7) and, a second position in alignment with the chamber opening (4) along the second axis (8). A guide means (22) characterized in that a guide track (24) having first and second elevation positions and predetermined first, second and third stopping means (30), (53), (44) are provided to ensure that the engaging means (16) precisely and repeatedly locates at the desired positions. <IMAGE> |
