Abstract: A web reeler includes mechanism for threading or rethreading a web (1a) onto the reel (1) in the event of breakage of the web (1a) of paper or paperboard. The mechanism comprises a first pair of levers (18) pivotally connected, respectively, to the lower ends of a second pair of levers (17) whereof the upper ends are pivotally connected to ram-controlled arms (6) urging the reel (17) into frictional engagement with the winding drum (2). A transverse roller (21) for supporting an end portion of paper or paperboard connects free ends of the levers (18) and the free ends carry a cutter blade (22). Rams (20) are provided for actuating the levers (18) to bring the paper or paperboard on said roller (21) into engagement with a lower portion of the reel (1), and rams (25) are provided for actuating the levers (17) to wrap the paper or paperboard around the reel (1) and to bring the roller (21) and the paper or paperboard directly above and adjacent the nip between the drum (2) and the reel (1). An operator holding the free end of the paper or paperboard can then allow the latter to be folded and fed into the nip, so that the paper or paperboard is pulled down on to the cutter blade (22) and the free end portion of the paper or paperboard is cut off. Manual feeding of the leading end of the web into the nip is thus unnecessary. <IMAGE>
