Wrapping apparatus and method

摘要

Cylindrical rolls of paper (1, 96, 315) are completely enclosed with wrapping material (105) by simultaneously rotating the roll about its longitudinal axis and rotating the roll end-for-end. A turntable (35, 200) may be used to rotate the roll end-for-end, and a drive roll (65, 265) carried by the turntable is driven to rotate the roll about its longitudinal axis during rotation of the turntable.
