  • a generic unwinding device is known from DE-A-4 206 330. It is part of a device for wrapping like a band rectangular, from a stack of pamphlets existing packages with a film. Under a Table is the device for mounting and driving a film-storing roll arranged. This points a movable carriage with a frame on which two support rollers are arranged on which the roller rests and one of which can be driven to close the roll in the take-off direction promote. With its lowest end area, the roller lies between the lateral ones Frame rails.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide an improved unwinding device at the beginning to create the type mentioned, in which the aforementioned disadvantages are eliminated.
  • the unwinder comprises two fixed ones Sidewalls that are about the same height as the tape supply reel own and between those to be lowered onto the bearing rollers Tape supply reel is insertable.
  • the side walls give the tape supply spool the desired stability. It is also conceivable that the tape supply reel is rolled between the side walls on the bearing rollers.
  • the side walls are provided with recesses open at the top, which is in the range of one in particular by a hollow cylindrical one Core defined central cavity of the tape supply reel pass. This is the central cavity when the tape supply reel is removed accessible to, for example, a carrier tape with which the tape supply reel was previously attached to a crane to be able to remove.
  • the downstream bearing roller is advantageously with a Provide rubber jacket.
  • a rubber jacket on the downstream bearing roller can be especially in a drive
  • Both storage rollers prevent sections of tape between them form a belly on both rollers. Due to the increased friction between the rubber jacket and the tape supply reel is the downstream one located bearing roller determining the drive. This is especially the case Case when the upstream bearing roller has a surface steel, for example, so that this upstream bearing roller primarily used for storage. It is therefore particularly also conceivable that only the downstream bearing roller is driven.
  • the unwinder comprises a tape buffer, via which the from the tape supply reel unwound tape fed to the strapping machine and tensioned is held. After the tape through the tape cache is always kept taut, is excluded from the strapping machine backward conveyor belt is free in the room.
  • the drive of the tape supply reel is expediently dependent of the respective state of the tape buffer or that in the tape buffer stored amount of tape material controllable. In order to can be prevented, for example, from further unwinding of tape, after the tape feed stopped in the area of the strapping machine has been.
  • At least one weight lever is provided to the tape supply reel resting on the storage rollers down to the storage rollers to strain. This ensures that against the end of the stock towards becoming ever lighter the tape supply reel or the remaining core does not jump off the bearing rollers.
  • the weight lever can be pivoted, for example, on the fixed side walls be stored.
  • the tape unwound from the tape supply reel is expedient generally led up to the tape buffer.
  • Unwinding device includes the tape buffer in the manner of a Pulley at least two pulleys over which the unwound Band is guided to form a band reserve, at least a stationary upper pulley and at least one in a vertical one Lower deflection roller displaceable are provided.
  • the lower deflection roller can in particular on a slide be mounted along a slide guide in the vertical direction is movable.
  • the drive of the tape supply reel is advantageously dependent from the vertical position of the lower pulley or carriage controllable.
