SURFACE WINDER AND METHOD

摘要

SURFACE WINDER AND METHOD Disclosed is a surface winder for developing a web log comprising a frame with means operatively associated with the frame for advancing a web along a predetermined path in the frame. A stationary winding roll is rotatably mounted in the frame on one side of the path and a stationary finger is mounted on the frame on the other side of the path adjacent the stationary winding roll and spaced therefrom a distance sufficient to receive a core to be wound in the path, the stationary winding roll cooperating with the stationary finger to rotate the core. A movable winding roll is rotatably mounted in the frame on the other side of the path and downstream in the direction of web advance from the stationary finger means and forming a nip with the stationary winding roll. The movable winding roll is reciprocated relative to the stationary winding roll from a first position precluding passage of a partially-wound log through the nip to a second position permitting passage of the partially wound log through the nip. The invention also comprehends a method of winding a web on a core to develop a wound log using the apparatus.
