Abstract
Abstract A wound roll of a strip of fibrous material having a first end portion forming an innermost plurality of superimposed contiguous layers and a second end portion forming an outermost plurality of superimposed contiguous layers, a plurality of punctures defined in each of the end portions, each puncture being characterized by a burr projected therefrom into interlocked relation with a puncture defined in an adjacent layer, whereby the end portions of the strip are secured together in the roll, and a method of forming the same.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of forming a wound roll of fibrous material, such as label ribbon, comprising the steps of: connecting one end portion of a fibrous ribbon to a rotatable spindle, progressively winding the ribbon in successive layers on the spindle for forming a roll consisting of a plurality of concentric, contiguous layers of substantially annular configurations, puncturing the innermost layers of the roll adjacent to said spindle for forcing burrs to project radially from each of the punctured layers into received relation with punctures formed in adjacent layers, and closing the roll by puncturing successive outer layers of the ribbon for forcing burrs to project radially from each of the punctured layers into an interlocked relation with punctures formed in adjacent layers, and removing the closed roll from the spindle.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
130 words
A method of forming a wound roll of fibrous material, such as label ribbon, comprising the steps of: connecting one end portion of a fibrous ribbon to a rotatable spindle, progressively winding the ribbon in successive layers on the spindle for forming a roll consisting of a plurality of concentric, contiguous layers of substantially annular configurations, puncturing the innermost layers of the roll adjacent to said spindle for forcing burrs to project radially from each of the punctured layers into received relation with punctures formed in adjacent layers, and closing the roll by puncturing successive outer layers of the ribbon for forcing burrs to project radially from each of the punctured layers into an interlocked relation with punctures formed in adjacent layers, and removing the closed roll from the spindle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the step of connecting the end portion of the ribbon to a rotatable spindle includes the further step of impaling the end portion of the ribbon on at least one pin radially extended from said rotatable spindle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the step of connecting the end portion of the ribbon to a rotatable spindle includes the additional steps of impaling the end portion of the ribbon on at least one pin projected from a translatable head and withdrawing the ribbon from its source by imparting translatory motion to the head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the step of connecting the end portion of the ribbon to a rotatable spindle includes the further step of impaling the end portion of the ribbon on at least one pin radially extended from said rotatable spindle, and the step of closing the roll includes the further step of severing the ribbon between the roll and its source.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the ribbon comprises one of a plurality of ribbons supported in mutual parallelism, and said roll comprises one of a plurality of coaxially aligned rolls.
