  • the withdrawing station 22 comprises an oscillatable controlled lever 23 adapted to act upon a carriage 24 which in its turn moves the holder 21 against the thrust of a spring 25 (FIG. 8) toward the left with regard to FIG. 1 in order to move the holder 21 away from the wrapping (FIG. 4).
  • each folding mandrel may be composed of a stationary and a displaceable part so that when withdrawing the wrapping from the mandrel, the overall size of the mandrel may be reduced by displacing the displaceable part.
  • the displaceable mandrel part is at the withdrawing station adjustable by means of a fixed cam or the like with regard to the stationary mandrel part.
  • each holder 26 connected to chain 7 carries four rollers 35 which are guided in U-shaped rails 36 and 37. This assures a very precise guiding for the mandrels 6.
  • the withdrawing device 29 comprises a withdrawing angle 29a adapted operatively to be connected to a suction air conduit and suction source.
  • This angle 29a is adapted to 'be lifted by a corresponding pushrod 30.
  • angle 29a sucks off or withdraws the wrapping from the mandrel 6b in downward direction.
  • the lower end of the withdrawing angle 29a carries a pinion 31 (FIG. 6) which in its lowermost position meshes with a horizontal rack 32.
  • rack 32 is horizontially displaced, pinion 31 meshes therewith and consequently also angle 29a is turned by 90 so that the wrapping 4a will occupy the position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a two-part tilting plate 33 now becomes effective.
  • This plate 33 is likewise adapted to be operatively connected to the same suction conduit as angle 29a and now turns about pivot 34 by an angle of 90 so that wrapping 4a is placed on path 1 and held by the abutment 5.
  • the deviating rollers 8 and 9 have their aXes located in a common vertical plane, according to the arrangement of FIG. 3, the deviating rollers 8 and 9 occupy a position in which the common plane passing therethrough is a horizontal plane which is parallel to the sliding path 1. In the first instance the device requires more space as to height, whereas in the second instance it requires more space as to length.
  • FIG. 3 the various elements shown therein and their functions correspond to those of FIGS. 1 and 2 and, therefore-the same reference numerals have been applied to corresponding parts.
  • a control abutment 38 which likewise acts upon carriage 24 of the holder 21 in order to press the same away from mandrel 6 to thereby permit the folder 16 to become effective.
  • a plurality of stepwise advancing: mandrel chains 7 may be arranged one alongside the: other above a corresponding number of conveying de-- vices 1, 2. In such an instance it is possible for a single: operator to serve a plurality of conveying paths. Such an arrangement has been shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2.
  • the Wrapping forming apparatus does practically require not more space than the transporting device for the material to be conveyed inasmuch as with such an arrangement of the folding mandrels also the withdrawing and feeding means for the paper cuts are located vertically over the feeding paths of the material to be wrapped. In this way the machine becomes much more accessible and smaller and can easily be observed so that more machines can be mounted over a certain floor surface.
