  • ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for connecting a first web of a web-shaped material unwinding from a first roll with the beginning of a second web of a web-shaped material unwinding from a second roll, the beginning of the second web being cemented to the unwinding first web by attachment of the beginning of the second web to a transfer element and then eifecting a relative movement between the transfer element and the first web. More specifically, a cementing occurs of the beginning of the second web to the transfer element by means of an adhesive area applied thereto.
  • this area is accelerated to a lineal speed corresponding to the lineal speed of withdrawal of the expiring first web and in the same direction so that the loose initial region of the second web is imultaneously pulled tighter.
  • the beginning of the second web is ce merited to the first web by another adhesive area applied to the beginning of the second web on the side opposite the first mentioned adhesive area.
  • the beginning of the second web is pulled away from the transfer element and thereafter the expiring first web is out behind the point of cementation with the beginning portion of the second web.
  • the second roll is accelerated by the tension exerted by the first Web after the beginning of the second web has been cemented to the expiring first web.
  • a yielding occurs to tension overloads and sudden loads exerted on the webs and the points of cementation between the web during initial acceleration by reason of the fact that the web is conducted over a forced storage means which yields under increased tension on the path of the web to further processing stations.
  • This invention relates to a process for connecting a first web of a web-shaped material unwinding from a first roll with the beginning of a second web of a webshaped material unwinding from a second roll, in which the beginning of the second web is cemented to the unwinding first web and the expiring first web is then cut off behind the point of cementation.
  • the invention is based on the task of providing a process of the type hereinbefore cited and a device for carrying out this process, which are simple and economical and ensure rapid and reliable connection of a second web to a first web at an arbitrary web speed irrespective of the type of base employed to support the webs and permits optional connecting of the web upper or lower side of the second web with the first web.
  • This task is solved in accordance with the invention in that the beginning of the second web is cemented to a transfer element by means of an adhesive area applied thereto, that the transfer element is then moved toward the first web and/or the first web is moved toward the transfer element and the transfer element is accelerated to a speed corresponding to the speed of the expiring first web while a loose initial region of the second web is concurrently pulled tighter and the beginning of the second web is then cemented to the first web by means of another adhesive area applied to the beginning of the second web facing the side averse the first adhesive area and is pulled away from the transfer element, the acceleration of the second roll being carried out by the tension exerted by the first web after the beginning of the second web has been cemented to the expiring first web, and tension overloads and sudden loads exerted on the webs and the points of cementation between the web during initial acceleration being prevented by conducting the respective web over a force storage means which yields under increased tension on the path of the web to further processing stations.
  • the process in accordance with the invention has substantial advantages.
  • the beginning of the new web is initially applied to a transfer element. This can be done while the old web is unwinding at an undiminished speed and the transfer element is standing still.
  • the transfer element which should be constructed such that it has a low mass and low weight, can then be moved toward the old web or the old web can be moved to the transfer element and the transfer element can then be accelerated to the speed of the old web either by bringing it into contact with the old web or by means of its own driving system. Only a low drive output is necessary due to the low mass of the transfer element.
  • the beginning of the new web can then be connected with the old web, for example, by means of the adhesive strip or an adhesive area of an adhesive coating on both sides at the beginning of the web.
  • the process in accordance with the invention also makes it possible to connect the new web with the old web as desired such that either the upper side or the underside of the new web is connected with the old web.
  • the process in accordance with the invention is particularly favorable in that the acceleration of the roll of the second Web after the beginning of the second web has been cemented to the unwinding first web can also take place by means of the tension exerted by the first web and that tension overloads and sudden loads in the webs and the points of cementation between the webs, which become apparent during the initial acceleration stage, are prevented by conducting the respective web over a storage means which yields under increased tension loads on its path to further processing stations.
  • a storage means makes it possible to gradually accelerate the roll of the second web under the tension of the web without causing the tension in the web to become so great that the web will tear and without causing sudden jerky loads.
  • the web can be conducted, for example, in a long loop which is spring-biased in the storage means so that the loop can be shortened against the action of the spring during an increase in the tension in the web.

  • Two support arms 2 and 3 which can be pivoted and locked in position independent of the other are mounted on a frame 1.
  • Each of these support arm 2 and 3 supports an axis for mounting a roll 4 or 5 of wound-up web material at the outer end of said arms.
  • these rolls are rolls of paper.
  • a first web 6 is unwound from the roll 4 and proceeds over a guide roller 7 to a drum 8 and then between a pair of guide rollers 9 to a further guide roller 10 which is journaled in a stationary position.
  • the strand 6' of the web 6 is then transported to a guide roller 11, is reversed and proceeds to the next guide roller 12 as strand 6" and then to further processing means not shown in the drawing.
  • the guide roller 11 is mounted on a carriage which is not shown in FIG. 1 for reasons of clarity.
  • This carriage is movably conducted on guide rails (not shown) in the direction of the strands 6 and 6" of web 6.
  • Two parallel toothed racks extend along the guide rails which are not shown.
  • a pinion engages each of these toothed racks.
  • the pinions are driven by a motor, which is mounted on the support mounting (not shown), and via a freewheel clutch.
  • This freewheel clutch is designed such that it is disengaged from the motor if the guide roller 11 moves toward the guide rollers 10 and 12 due to the effect of the web strands 6' and 6".
  • the end of a tension spring 13 is secured to the guide roller 11 or to the carriage supporting the guide roller.
  • the other end of the spring is connected with a tension wire 14.
  • This traction wire 14 is loped downwardly and is secured to an anchorage at the other end.
  • a weight 15 is hung in the loop of the traction wire 14.
  • the slidable guide roller 11, the spring 13, the traction wire 14 and the weight 15 form, together with the strands 6 and 6" of the first web 6, a storage means which prevents sudden loads from being exerted on the web 6 possibly causing it to tear.
  • a transfer element designed as a roller 17 is provided for this purpose and can be moved to and from the roller 8.
  • the roller 17 is rotatably journaled on a carriage (not shown) for this purpose.
  • the carriage is driven by a motor via pinions, the motor engaging the toothed racks (not shown) which extend along the guides of the carriage.
  • the transfer roller 17 is shown in FIG. 1 in solid lines in its receiving position in which it is separated from roller 8.
  • the start 16' of the second web 16 is stuck to the circumference of roller 17 by means of an adhesive strip 18 provided with adhesive on both sides.
  • the adhesive strip must be cemented to the beginning of the second web with its width such that a cemented interface relationship is established between the part which is cemented to the beginning of the web and the part which is cemented to the circumference of the roller 17. This ensures that the adhesive strip 18 which adheres to the beginning 16 of the web 16 separates from the circumference of the roller 17 when the adhesive strip 18 is pressed onto the web 6 on the full surface on the side facing away from the web 16.
  • roller 17 When the roller 17 has reached the position indicated by the dotted line in Figure 1, i.e. has been transported into its position of attachment, it comes into contact with the first web 6.
  • the roller 8 serves as an abutment which permits the roller 17 to be pressed onto the web 6 under pressure.
  • the roller 17 is set into rotary motion after it has contacted the web 6 and is accelerated to a circumferential speed corresponding to the speed of the web 6. This acceleration does not cause any sudden loads to be exerted on the second web 16 because an initial looped-shaped loose part has been previously removed from the roll 5 which is then taken up during acceleration.
  • the adhesive strip 18 comes into contact with the web 6 and is pressed onto the same during the course of the rotation of the roller 17.
  • the adhesive strip 18 is removed from the roller 17 due to the cemented interface relationship between the entire outer adhesive strip surface cemented to the first web and the inner adhesive strip surface adhering to the circumference of the roller 17.
  • the start 16' of the second web 16 is then stuck to the first web 6 by the adhesive strip 13 and is drawn along by the first web. This entire operation takes place very rapidly.
  • the roller 17 is pressed on the roller 8 due to the action of the positive drive during this time. As soon as enough time has passed for the new web 16 to attach to the old web 6, the positive drive of the roller 17 is switched off, e.g. by means of a pressure-sensitive switch and an adjustable time relay.
  • a cutting device arranged in front of the roller 8 and having a reciprocal cutting blade 19 is activated.
  • the cutting blade 19 then cuts the first web 6.
  • the second web 16, which is connected with the part of the web 6 which is drawn upwardly, is then removed from the roll 5.
  • the roller 8 can be returned to its receiving position.
  • the new roll 5 must be accelerated at the very moment the second web 16 is picked up by the first web 6. In the case of the device illustrated in FIG. 1, this is accomplished exclusively by the tension caused by the web 16. This produced an increased pull load in the web 6 and the web 16 connected thereto until the roll 5 has been accelerated to its operational speed.
  • the guide roller 11 and its carriage can then be moved away from the guide rollers 10 and 12 to the right in order to release the spring 13 and to increase the storage formed by the strands 6 and 6". In so doing, the weight 15 is lowered again and rests on its substrate anew. Brakes not shown in the drawing can be provided on the axes supporting the rolls 4 and 5. These brakes can decelerate the expended old web roll 4 and bring it to a standstill after the first web 6 has been cut or they can brake the new roll 5 until the tension desired for operation has been adjusted in the web 16.
  • the device according to FIG. 1 is designed such that the drum 8 is also arranged on a motor-driven carriage and can be reciprocally moved in a horizontal plane.
  • the drum 8 can serve as a transfer element by means of which a web unwinding from roll 4 can be applied to a web unwinding from roll 5 in case roll 5 is nearing an end.
  • the application operation is in this case the same as the one described previously with regard to a connection of the start 16' of a second web 16 with a first unwinding web 6.
  • the roles of drums 8 and 17 are reversed.
  • the roller 17 would then be positioned as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 1
  • a cutting blade 20 is provided which can be activated in the same manner as the previously described cutting blade 19.

  • the one roller 8 then functions alternately as an abutment roller and must be maintained in its inner position while the roller 17 serves as the transfer roller in alternate fashion or roller 17 functions as the abutment roller and is maintained in its inner position while roller 8 serves as the transfer roller.
  • This invention is not restricted to the examples described above.
  • the process in accordance with the invention can, for example, be carried out such that not a two-sided adhesive strip is cemented to the start of the new web, but rather that both sides of the start of the new web are provided wih an adhesive coating, for example, an adhesive with a latex base.
  • an adhesive coating for example, an adhesive with a latex base.
  • the storage means 1, 13, 14, 15 and 28, 30, 31, 32 can be designed such that they resist the tension proceeding from the web at least initially by a progressive resistance.
  • a characteristic of the storage resistance which initially progresses flatly, then increases progressively and finally proceeds linearly or degressively as desired is especially expedient. This makes it possible to gently accelerate the new web in the case of a small storage means.
  • Spring characteristics of this type can be attained by suitable mechanical springs. In place of the shown spring-weightstorage means, however, hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical means can also be employed, for instance motors with corresponding braking characteristics.
  • Web as used in the above description is meant to mean a paper band.
  • said force storage means has an initial constant force characteristic at least in the initial region, which however increases progressively thereafter and later has a linear or degressive characteristic as desired to facilitate said yielding to said tension overloads and sudden loads.
