Abstract:
An unroll device with at least one unroll stand (1, 1a), comprisinga machine frame (4), which has two bearing stands (5, 5') spaced apart;bearing supports (10, 10', 10a; 35, 35', 35a), which are guided substantially horizontally movably on the bearing stands (5, 5');shifting drives (12, 12a; 37, 37a) acting on the bearing supports (10, 10', 10a; 35, 35', 35a);a supporting shaft (14, 14a), which has a central longitudinal axis (16, 16a), and the ends of which are run on the bearing supports (10, 10', 10a; 35, 35', 35a);lugs (17, 17', 17a), which are guided on the supporting shaft (14, 14a) non-rotatably relative thereto, but displaceably in the direction of the central longitudinal axis (16, 16a);centering pivots (24, 24', 24a) for holding a reel (28), which are mounted on the lugs (17, 17', 17a) and define an unrolling axis (26, 26a); andat least one lifting drive (22, 22', 22a, 22'a) coupled to the supporting shaft (14, 14a);wherein the supporting shaft (14, 14a) is run on the bearing supports (10, 10', 10a; 35, 35', 35a) such that its central longitudinal axis (16, 16a) is not only displaceable parallel to itself, but is also pivotal about a base position substantially in a horizontal plane; andwherein the shifting drives (12, 12'; 37, 37') are individually operable.
