Abstract:
An assembly for redirecting paper web material from a first direction with a face up orientation to a second direction with either a face up or face down orientation, wherein the directions define a substantially perpendicular angle between them, comprising:a turnbar positioned in a pathway of a web travelling along said first and second directions, said turnbar moveable between a second position wherein a longitudinal axis of said turnbar substantially bisects said angle between said first and second directions, and a first position that is substantially perpendicular to said second position; a roller having a longitudinal axis that is aligned substantially perpendicular to either said first or said second direction; such that the web from the first direction with the first orientation passing about said turnbar in the second position is redirected to the second direction with the opposing orientation; and such that the web from the first direction with the first orientation passing about both of said turnbar in the second position and said roller is redirected to the second direction with the first orientation.
