Abstract

Abstract A method and an apparatus for packaging paper rolls (2), wherein a wrapper sheet (1) of such a size as to exceed the axial length of the roll is wrapped around the roll and the width of the wrapper sheet is reduced to a size corresponding to the length of the roll by removing the part (5, 6) of the wrapper sheet which extends over the ends of the roll. The header sheet (14, 15) which is bigger than the end surface of the roll, is placed on the ends of the roll and reduced to a size corresponding to the diameter of the roll or smaller by removing at least the part of the header sheet extending over the end surface. Thereafter the header (14, 15) and the wrapper (25) are secured to each other so that a tight joint is formed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 172 words
A method for packaging a paper roll or the like in which a wrapping material is wrapped around the roll and headers are secured to the ends of the roll, which consists of the steps of (a) wrapping a wrapper sheet (1) of width greater than the axial length of the roll (2) around the roll, (b) securing the wrapper sheet to the roll, (c) removing the portions (5,6) of the wrapper sheet which extend over the ends of the roll, whereby the width of the wrapper sheet is reduced to the size of the length of the roll, (d) placing header sheets (14,15) of size greater than the end surface of the roll against the ends of the roll, (e) removing at least the edge portion of the header sheets extendng over the end surface and reducing the header sheets to obtain headers of the size of the roll diameter or smaller, while the roll is rotated, (f) securing the headers to the wrapper so that a tight joint is formed.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 172 words
A method for packaging a paper roll or the like in which a wrapping material is wrapped around the roll and headers are secured to the ends of the roll, which consists of the steps of (a) wrapping a wrapper sheet (1) of width greater than the axial length of the roll (2) around the roll, (b) securing the wrapper sheet to the roll, (c) removing the portions (5,6) of the wrapper sheet which extend over the ends of the roll, whereby the width of the wrapper sheet is reduced to the size of the length of the roll, (d) placing header sheets (14,15) of size greater than the end surface of the roll against the ends of the roll, (e) removing at least the edge portion of the header sheets extendng over the end surface and reducing the header sheets to obtain headers of the size of the roll diameter or smaller, while the roll is rotated, (f) securing the headers to the wrapper so that a tight joint is formed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 67 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the headers are secured to the wrapper in step (f) by means of a band of adhesive (20) which is adhered to the header and the wrapper and which is placed on the roll (2) so that half of the width of the band extends beyond the edge of the roll and is folded against the end of the roll.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the portions removed from the wrapper sheet (1) in step (c) and the edge portions of the header sheets removed in step (e) are cut.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein the portions removed from the wrapper sheet and the edge portion removed from the header sheets, after being cut are entrained by an air flow.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 100 words
An apparatus for wrapping a paper roll or the like which comprises means for wrapping a wrapper sheet around the roll, means for placing a header sheet against each of the roll ends, means for rotating the roll, cutting means (7,18) provided with cutting tools (28,30) adapted to be placed against the roll for removing the edges of the wrapper sheet (1) and the header sheets (14,15) extending beyond the ends of the roll, means (21) for feeding a jointing material (20) and means for securing the jointing material to the edges of the wrapper and to said header sheets.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 100 words
An apparatus for wrapping a paper roll or the like which comprises means for wrapping a wrapper sheet around the roll, means for placing a header sheet against each of the roll ends, means for rotating the roll, cutting means (7,18) provided with cutting tools (28,30) adapted to be placed against the roll for removing the edges of the wrapper sheet (1) and the header sheets (14,15) extending beyond the ends of the roll, means (21) for feeding a jointing material (20) and means for securing the jointing material to the edges of the wrapper and to said header sheets.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 72 words
An apparatus according to claim 5 wherein the means for securing the jointing material to the edges of the wrapper and to the header sheets comprises means for feeding a tape and for laying one half of the tape over the edge of the paper roll, and a roller having a flange (24), said flange being adapted to press the other half of the tape against the edge of the header sheets.
