Abstract:
A method of continuously winding a sheet web coated on an upper surface side with a pressure-sensitive adhesive onto a core tube on a rotating turret winder in which the sheet web is transferred onto a new core tube after a predetermined amount of the sheet web has been wound on a preceding core tube to form a full wind roll, characterized in: revolving the new core tube in a direction opposite to the rotational direction of the turret; cutting the sheet web between the full wind roll, moved by the rotation of the turret, and the new core tube provided at a winding position and still revolving in the opposite direction, applying and attaching the adhesive side of the sheet web onto a surface of the new core tube while the new core tube is revolving in the opposite direction so that the attached sheet web is folded back by the revolution of the new core tube in the opposite direction; and winding the sheet web extending from the attached sheet web onto the new core tube such that the adhesive side is facing upward.
