  • the transfer device 13, 13a, b belonging to the selected winding station D1, the selected winding station D1, .., D4 associated link 14, 14a, b by means of the drive mechanism described above to the intersection of the selected feed section 11, 11a, b with the associated to the selected winding station D1, .., D4 connecting path 14, 14a, b emotional.
  • the associated transfer device 13, 13a, b For discharging or extracting in the selected winding station D1, .., D4 unwound flat products on a selected discharge line 12, 12a, b, the associated transfer device 13, 13a, b to the intersection of the selected discharge line 12, 12a, b with the the selected winding station D1, .., D4 associated link 14, 14a, b moves and the transport direction of the scale flow of the products in the associated transfer device 13, 13 a, b and on the connecting line 14, 14 a, b reversed.
  • the feed section 11, 11a, b and the discharge section 12, 12a, b may be advantageous to arrange the feed section 11, 11a, b and the discharge section 12, 12a, b not substantially at right angles to the connecting sections 14, 14a, b, but at a certain angle thereto.
  • the transfer devices 13, 13a, b can be adapted with their space curves special needs and it can be achieved, for example, that the deflected by these transfer devices deflection - viewed in plan view - not 90 °, but, for example, only 70 ° cover.
  • special arrangements in corresponding operating halls can be taken into account by such arrangements.
  • the parallel feed lines 11, 11 a, b and discharge lines 12, 12 a, b have their entry and exit points at opposite ends. This allows for further variability of the cache device.
  • a further variant of the invention uses transfer devices 13, 13a, b, which are not fixedly assigned to a winding station, but are movable between the lines of two winding stations (ie, for example, with a movement substantially parallel to the supply / discharge lines 11, 12 in FIG Fig. 1 ).
  • a first and three further transfer devices (per supply / discharge line one) between the winding stations D5 and D6 back and forth to be movable.
  • Such solutions may take account of the fact that the movement path is minimized if the distances of the supply and discharge lines 11 a, b and 12 a, b at a given arrangement in relation to the distance of the winding stations (the example D5, D6) significantly larger is.
  • the transfer devices 13, 13a, b would have to be able to be decoupled from the connecting links 14, 14a, b in order to be able to change between the connecting links 14, 14a, b.
