Abstract:
1. A winder wherein a paper web source defines an upstream direction toward the paper web source, the winder comprising: a front winding drum mounted for rotation; at least one winding core; a rear winding drum mounted for rotation, and positioned in the upstream direction from and closely spaced from the front winding drum, so as to form a gap therebetween, and to support the at least one winding core between the front winding drum and the rear winding drum over the gap; wherein the winding core is supported on the front and rear winding drums so that the front winding drum forms a second winding nip with the winding core, and the rear winding drum forms a first winding nip with the winding core upstream of the second winding nip, so that a customer roll can be wound onto the core between and in nipping engagement with the front winding drum and the rear winding drum; a movable guard mounted for rotation about the front winding drum, having a downstream edge and an upstream edge and portions therebetween positionable to cover the front winding drum with the downstream edge adjacent the second winding nip formed by the front winding drum and a forming customer roll; an actuator connected to the guard to cause the guard to rotate; a cutter attached to the upstream edge of the movable guard; and the upstream edge of the movable guard and the cutter attached thereto positionable, by rotation of the guard to move up from below the gap, through the gap to position the cutter to sever the fiber web above the gap.
