Definitions

  • This invention refers to a method and means for unrolling perforated multiple rolls and specifically to means for unrolling at least one narrow web of material at a time from perforated multiple rolls having webs of material preferably consisting of dryformed paper.
  • the invention also refers to a method for unrolling individual webs of material from a multiple roll containing a plurality of narrow webs of material of preferably dryformed paper interconnected by perforating and with or without superabsorbent intended for subsequent conversion, for example hygenic products such as sanitary pads.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a new type of unrolling equipment for perforated multiple rolls, particularly thick or soft and narrow webs of material, such as dryformed paper with or without superabsorbents.
  • the mentioned problem is solved by the method and means of the invention.
  • the characteristic features of the invention are disclosed in the appended claims.
  • the invention utilizes unrolling means comprising a locking disc operating by vacuum and locking the multiple roll in the unrolling process, particularly when only a few webs of material of the multiple roll remain, in combination with a support member which in the relevant case consists of disc-shaped elements which may be swung in directions towards each other, locking the remaining webs of material in position in the unrolling means so that they do not tilt or collapse when being unrolled.
  • unrolling means comprising a locking disc operating by vacuum and locking the multiple roll in the unrolling process, particularly when only a few webs of material of the multiple roll remain, in combination with a support member which in the relevant case consists of disc-shaped elements which may be swung in directions towards each other, locking the remaining webs of material in position in the unrolling means so that they do not tilt or collapse when being unrolled.
  • the vacuum of the locking disc is retained intact during the entire unrolling period when the multiple roll, which consists of a mother roll and is formed by a plurality of component rolls held together by perforations, is unrolled. During the unrolling at least one component roll at a time is detached for subsequent conversion.
  • the vacuum apertures can be provided with gaskets of of rubber or plastic around the respective apertures or in sections so as not to lose vacuum power between the locking disc and particularly the last unrollable web of material from the multiple roll.
  • unrolling means 1 in accordance with the invention for a multiple roll 2 comprising at least one narrow web 3 of material which via perforations 10 comprises a plurality of adjacent webs 3 of material.
  • the webs 3 of material are preferably composed of dryformed paper which is intended to be converted into for example hygenic products, such as sanitary pads.
  • the unrolling means comprise a frame 4 which mountably carries a locking disc 5, from the center of which a shaft 6 for carrying the relevant multiple roll 2 extends outwardly.
  • the locking disc 5 exhibits a plurality of apertures 7 disposed in its surface which are connected to a vacuum source 8 over a connector 9 for drawing the multiple roll 2 against the locking disc 5 by means of vacuum. In this manner, multiple roll 2 is locked in position during the actual unrolling concurrently with the respective webs 3 of material included in roll 2 being detachable along perforations 10.
  • Figures 6-10 respectively, schematically show the manner in which the unrolling means 1 function after a multiple roll 2 for unrolling is positioned on shaft 6.
  • the unrolling has reached a state in which only one web 3 of material of multiple roll 2 remains for unrolling.
  • support members 11 in the form of disc-shaped elements 12, 13 are lowered, said elements being rotatably mounted at their upper edges 14, 15 in the upper portion 16 of the frame 4 so that they can swing down in front of said web 3 of material so as to prevent the latter from collapsing or tilting when it is being unrolled from shaft 6.
  • Figures 16-20 This is more specifically illustrated in Figures 16-20, respectively.
  • the disc-shaped elements 12,13 engage the exterior 19 of the relevant web 3 of material.
  • a guide roll 17 having a width at least corresponding to the total width of multiple roll 2 is placed at the lower portion of frame 4 in the illustrated example, said guide roll 17 causing the relevant unrolled web component or narrow web 3 of material to emerge from the unrolling means parallel to the plane of the floor.
  • each web component has folding pins 18 disposed preferably at 45° of the longitudinal direction of the webs 3, around which the extended or unrolled web component slides and is folded 90°, whereby all unrolled components of web 3 are made to pass linearly to the actual joining equipment in correct position for performing the joining.
  • invention also concerns a method for unrolling individual webs 3 of material from a multiple roll 2 comprising a plurality of narrow webs 3 of material interconnected by perforations 10, said webs preferably being dryformed paper with or without superabsorbent, intended for subsequent conversion for example to hygenic products, such as sanitary pads.
  • a multiple roll 2 is placed in the unrolling means 1 on a shaft 6 comprised therein.
  • multiple roll 2 is affixed to locking disc 5 which is subjected to vacuum, and after the vacuum affixing, the respective web 3 of material is unrolled from multiple roll 2 along the perforation 10 which connects the respective web 3 of material, until in the normally occurring case only one web 3 of material remains on shaft 6, in which case at least one support member 11 and in the relevant case two disc-shaped elements 12,13 which may swing down are made to engage the exterior 19 of the remaining web 3 of material.
  • the unrolling of the last web 3 of material from shaft 6 it is prevented from collapsing or tilting, as during the entire unrolling, in addition to the decreasing vacuum, it also has support outwards against the disc-shaped elements 12,13.

Claims (5)

  1. Einrichtung zum Abrollen mindestens einer schmalen Materialbahn (3) auf einmal von einer perforierten Mehrfachrolle (2), die Materialbahnen aus vorzugsweise trocken gebildetem Papier aufweist, gekennzeichnet durch eine an einem Gestell (4) drehbar gelagerte Sperrscheibe (5), von deren Mittelpunkt sich eine Welle (6) zum Tragen der betreffenden Mehrfachrolle (2) erstreckt, wobei die Sperrscheibe (5) mehrere in ihrer Oberfläche vorgesehene Öffnungen (7) aufweist, die über eine Verbindung (9) mit einer Vakuumquelle (8) verbunden sind, um die Mehrfachrolle (2) in Anlage an diese zu ziehen, so dass die Mehrfachrolle (2) während des Abrollens in ihrer Position fixiert ist, wobei die in der Rolle (2) enthaltenen jeweiligen Materialbahnen (3) gleichzeitig entlang Perforationen (10) lösbar sind, welche die Breiten der Materialbahnen begrenzen, und durch mindestens ein mechanisches Stützelement (11) in Richtung der Welle (6), das sich in einer verstellbaren vorbestimmten Entfernung von der Sperrscheibe (5) befindet, wobei diese Entfernung der Breite mindestens einer Materialbahn (3) entspricht, wobei das Stützelement zum Aufbringen in Richtung der Außenseite (19) einer oder eine Anzahl von verbleibenden Materialbahnen vorgesehen ist, um das Zusammenfallen oder Kippen der Materialbahn (3) oder der Materialbahnen (3), die beim Abrollen auf der Welle (6) verbleiben, zu verhindern.
