Das Öffnungsaggregat 31 ist mit einem Abreißorgan versehen, welches die Umhüllung 11 an der Außenseite erfasst und durch Relativbewegung den Öffnungsstreifen 32 aus der Umhüllung 11 herausreißt. Die Umhüllung 11 besteht dabei aus reißfähigem Material, wie Papier, Stanniol oder dergleichen. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Relativbewegung der Bobine 10 dadurch erreicht, dass der Wagen 16 die betreffende Bobine 10 an dem ortsfest positionierten Abreißorgan vorbeibewegt. Dieses ist auf der dem Umfang der Bobine 10 zugekehrten Seite mit einem Haftmittel versehen, zum Beispiel einem (starken) Kleber 44, der infolge Verbindung mit der Umhüllung 11 den anhaftenden Bereich, also den Öffnungsstreifen 32, heraustrennt.The opening unit 31 is provided with a tear-off element, which grips the envelope 11 on the outside and through Relative movement of the opening strip 32 from the casing 11 tears out. The covering 11 consists of tearable material, such as paper, tinfoil or the like. In the present The embodiment of the relative movement of the bobbin 10 achieved in that the carriage 16 the bobbin in question 10 moved past the fixed tear-off member. This is on the side facing the circumference of the bobbin 10 with an adhesive, for example a (strong) Adhesive 44 which adheres as a result of connection to the wrapper 11 Area, ie the opening strip 32, separates.

Das Abreißorgan ist im vorliegenden Falle ein (endliches) Abreißband 35. Dieses wird von einer Rolle 36 takt- bzw. abschnittsweise abgezogen. Ein der axialen Abmessung der Bobine 10 entsprechender Abschnitt des Abreißbandes 35 wird mit einer auf der zugekehrten Seite angeordneten Klebefläche an die Umhüllung 11 angedrückt und mit dieser verbunden. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Abreißband 35 über eine Andrückrolle 37 geleitet, die den betreffenden Abschnitt des Abreißbandes 35 an die Bobine 10 andrückt. Das Abreißband 35 wird dabei im Bereich der Andrückrolle 37 mit einer (Umfangs (Umfangs-)Geschwindigkeit bewegt, die der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Bobine 10 entspricht. Die Andrückrolle 37 besteht aus elastischem Material bzw. ist mit einem elastischen Mantel 38 versehen. The tear-off element is a (finite) tear-off tape in the present case 35. This is from a roll 36 clockwise or in sections deducted. One of the axial dimensions of the bobbin 10 corresponding section of the tear tape 35 is with a Adhesive surface on the wrapping arranged on the facing side 11 pressed and connected to this. To this end the tear tape 35 is passed over a pressure roller 37, the the relevant section of the tear tape 35 to the bobbin 10 presses. The tear tape 35 is in the area of the pressure roller 37 moved at a (peripheral) speed that the Conveying speed of the bobbin 10 corresponds. The pressure roller 37 consists of elastic material or is with a provided elastic jacket 38.

Das Abreißband 35 trennt aufgrund der Haftverbindung mit der Umhüllung 11 den Öffnungsstreifen 32 aus der Umhüllung 11 heraus. Der Öffnungsstreifen 32 bleibt in Verbindung mit dem Abreißband 35 und wird mit diesem abgefördert. Bei dem vorliegenden Beispiel wird das Abreißband 35 von einer Sammelrolle 39 aufgenommen. Diese ist drehend angetrieben, jedoch mit einem kleinen Drehmoment, so dass ein Abreißen des Abreißbandes 35 vermieden wird.The tear tape 35 separates due to the adhesive bond with the Wrapping 11 the opening strip 32 from the wrapper 11 out. The opening strip 32 remains in connection with the Tear-off tape 35 and is carried away with this. In the present Example is the tear tape 35 from a collecting roll 39 added. This is driven in rotation, but with one small torque, so that the tear-off tape 35 is torn off is avoided.

Bei Bahnen aus einem Material geringer Reißfähigkeit, zum Beispiel bei Folien, wird der Abreißvorgang bzw. das Heraustrennen des Öffnungsstreifens 32 unterstützt durch Hilfsorgane, die am Umfang der Bobine 10 anliegen und die Reißlinie bestimmen. Bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel handelt es sich dabei um (zwei im Abstand voneinander angeordnete) Reißkanten 43, die zu beiden Seiten des Abreißbandes 35 am Öffnungsaggregat 38 in einer Schrägstellung positioniert sind. Die Reißkanten 43 kommen beim Anheben des Öffnungsaggregats am Umfang der Bobine 10 zur Anlage. Angeschärfte Ränder bzw.
