Abstract
Abstract A delivery apparatus for rolls (e.g. of paper) in a horizontal position and delivering them in a vertical position comprises a tilting table, means for clamping a roll on the table, and drive means (e.g. a hydraulic ram) for moving the table from a horizontal to a vertical position. The clamping means conveniently comprises a pair of relatively movable members extending at right angles to the table, and the table may have a movable surface to allow a roll to shift thereon without rubbing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
Delivery apparatus for rolls of material such as paper, comprising a table movable between horizontal and vertical positions, first drive means for moving said table between horizontal and vertical positions, clamping members mounted on opposite ends of said table and adapted to engage the ends of a roll placed on said table, second drive means for urging at least one of said clamping members towards the other clamping member, and carrier means mounted on said table and freely movable with said roll by said second drive means along a path between said clamping members for supporting said rolls whereby damage to the outer layers of paper in said rolls when said rolls are moved by said clamping members may be avoided.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
