Abstract
Abstract At a moveable frame there is rotatably mounted a driveable winding core. The one end of a tension-resistant winding band is connected with this winding core, and such winding band is wound-up upon a band spool. This band spool is rotatably mounted in arm members of the frame. Acting upon the shaft of the winding core is a jaw brake. The shaft of the band spool is likewise brakeable and blockable by means of a jaw brake. The frame together with the winding core, band spool and the therebetween traveling winding band can be transported. For winding-up flat products or the like the shaft of the winding core is driven, and the jaw brake effective upon such shaft is opened or retracted. The band spool is slightly braked by the jaw brake associated with the shaft of the band spool. The flat products are infed to a winding gap and together with the winding band which is under tension wound-up upon the winding core. After formation of the wound product package the winding core and the band spool are blocked by means of their related jaw brakes. The package is held together by the winding band which is retained under tension.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
An apparatus for the storage of flat products, especially printed products, arriving in an imbricated product formation, comprising: a rotatably mounted and driveable winding core to which there are infed from below the products which are conveyed towards the winding core; at least one rotatable supply spool for a separation band traveling beneath a predetermined path of travel of the products; said separation band being connected at one end with the winding core and during the winding-up of the products being fed from below to the winding core and being subjected to a tensional load; a common mobile frame means in which there are mounted both said winding core and said supply spool; a coupling arrangement for the selective coupling of drive means to one of said winding core and said supply spool; a blocking device effective in a winding-off rotational direction of the products from the winding core; and said winding core being brakeable in the winding-off rotational direction.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
160 words
An apparatus for the storage of flat products, especially printed products, arriving in an imbricated product formation, comprising: a rotatably mounted and driveable winding core to which there are infed from below the products which are conveyed towards the winding core; at least one rotatable supply spool for a separation band traveling beneath a predetermined path of travel of the products; said separation band being connected at one end with the winding core and during the winding-up of the products being fed from below to the winding core and being subjected to a tensional load; a common mobile frame means in which there are mounted both said winding core and said supply spool; a coupling arrangement for the selective coupling of drive means to one of said winding core and said supply spool; a blocking device effective in a winding-off rotational direction of the products from the winding core; and said winding core being brakeable in the winding-off rotational direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
